Radio Frequency (RF) Energy
This device meets the government’s requirements for exposure to radio waves. This phone 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 device
employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the
FCC is 1.6W/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 phone 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 on lefthand, cheek, as
described in this user guide, is 1.31W/kg for CDMA 850 band. For body operation, this device has been
tested and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines for use the positions the device a minimum of 1.5cm
from the body. Use of other enhancements may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines.

• Some electronic devices are susceptible to electromagnetic interference sent by phone if inadequately
shielded. Please use phone at least 20cm or as far as you can from TV set, radio and other automated
office equipment so as to avoid interference.
• 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
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
