-17-  FCC Statement 1. This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference. (2) This device must accept any interference received, including  interference  that  may  cause  undesired operation. 2.  Changes  or  modifications  not  expressly  approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment. NOTE:   This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide  reasonable  protection  against  harmful interference in a residential installation. This  equipment  generates uses  and  can  radiate  radio
-18- frequency  energy  and,  if  not  installed  and  used  in accordance with  the  instructions,  may  cause  harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is  no  guarantee  that  interference  will  not  occur  in  a particular  installation.  If  this  equipment  does  cause harmful  interference to  radio  or  television  reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and  on,  the  user  is  encouraged  to  try  to  correct  the interference  by  one  or  more  of  the  following measures: Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. Increase  the  separation  between  the  equipment  and receiver. Connect  the  equipment  into  an  outlet  on  a  circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.   Consult  the  dealer  or  an  experienced  radio/TV technician for help.
-19-  SAR Information Statement Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radiofrequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission of the U.S. Government. These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines are based on standards that were developed by independent scientific organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The standards include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health. The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg. * Tests for SAR are conducted with the phone transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the phone while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the
-20- phone is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the power required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output. Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the limit established by the government adopted requirement for safe exposure. The tests are performed in positions and locations (e.g., at the ear and worn on the body) as required by the FCC for each model. The highest SAR value for this model phone when tested for use at the ear is 0.649W/Kg and when worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is 1.173W/Kg(Body-worn measurements differ among phone models, depending upon available accessories and FCC requirements). The maximum scaled SAR in hotspot mode is 1.173W/Kg. While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones and at various positions, they all meet the government requirement for safe exposure. The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model phone with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RFexposure guidelines. SAR information on this model phone is on file with the FCC and can be found
-21- under the Display Grant section of http://www.fcc.gov/ oet/fccid after searching on   FCC ID: 2ABOSSKYPLATA4 Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on the Cellular Telecommunications Industry Asso-ciation (CTIA) web-site at http://www.wow-com.com. * In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile phones used by the public is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue. The standard incorporates a sub-stantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and to account for any variations in measurements.  Body-worn Operation This  device  was  tested  for  typical  body-worn operations. To comply with RF exposure requirements, a  minimum  separation  distance  of  15mm  must  be maintained between the user’s body  and the handset, including the antenna. Third-party belt-clips, holsters, and similar accessories used by this device should not contain  any  metallic  components.  Body-worn accessories  that  do not  meet  these  requirements  may not  comply  with  RF  exposure  requirements  and should  be  avoided.  Use  only  the  supplied  or  an approved antenna.
