Radio Frequency (RF) Energy
This device meets the government’s requirements for exposure to radio waves.
This device is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure
to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission of the
U.S. Government:
The exposure standard for wireless mobile devices 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 using standard operating positions accepted by the
FCC with the device 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 device while operating can be well below the maximum
value. This is because the device is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to
use only the poser required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a
wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output.
The highest SAR value for the device as reported to the FCC when tested for use at the
ear is 1.19 W/kg and when worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is
1.41 W/kg (Body-worn measurements differ among device models, depending upon
available enhancements and FCC requirements.)
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various devices and at
various positions, they all meet the government requirement.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this device with all reported SAR
levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR
information on this device is on file with the FCC and can be found under the Display
Grant section of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid/ after searching on:
FCC ID: SRQ-MF985
SAR compliance for body operation is based on a separation distance of 10 mm between
the unit and the human body. Carry this device, at least 10 mm away from your body to
ensure RF exposure level compliant or lower to the reported level.
FCC Compliance
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, and (2)
this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
Caution: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer 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
36
harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can
radiate radio 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.
CTIA Requirements
a) Do not disassemble or open crush, bend or deform, puncture or shred
b) Do not modify or remanufacture, attempt to insert foreign objects into the battery,
immerse or expose to water or other liquids, expose to fire, explosion or other
hazard.
c) Only use the battery for the system for which it is specified
d) Only use the battery with a charging system that has been qualified with the system
per CTIA Certification Requirements for Battery System Compliance to IEEE 1725.
Use of an unqualified battery or charger may present a risk of fire, explosion,
leakage, or other hazard.
e) Do not short circuit a battery or allow metallic conductive objects to contact battery
terminals.
f) Replace the battery only with another battery that has been qualified with the system
per this standard, IEEE-Std-1725. Use of an unqualified battery may present a risk
of fire, explosion, leakage or other hazard.
g) Promptly dispose of used batteries in accordance with local regulations
h) Battery usage by children should be supervised
i) Avoid dropping the phone or battery. If the phone or battery is dropped, especially
on a hard surface, and the user suspects damage, take it to a service center for
inspection.
j) Improper battery use may result in a fire, explosion or other hazard.
For those host devices that utilize a USB port as a charging source, the host device's user
manual shall include a statement that the phone shall only be connected to CTIA
certified adapters, products that bear the USB-IF logo or products that have completed
the USB-IF compliance program.
