updated information also appears on your phone, and vice versa. Also, if you
lose your phone or if your phone is destroyed, your personal information is not
lost and will appear, as before, on a replacement phone.

synchronization, or data syncing. Data syncing occurs in the background and
shouldnt ever get in your way. Youll know your data is being synchronized

automatically, as you make changes or receive new messages. When OFF,
information will not be synced automatically, although you can force sync by
using the individual application check boxes described below.
Gmail: Clear this check box to exclude Gmail from auto-sync.
Calendar: Clear this check box to exclude Calendar from auto-sync.
Contacts: Clear this check box to exclude Contacts from auto-sync.

interference. (2) This device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation.
NOTE: 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
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.
Body-worn Operation
This device was tested for typical body-worn operations. To comply With
RF exposure requirements, a minimum separation distance of 1.5cm must be
maintained between the users body and the handset, including the antenna.
Third-party belt-clips, holsters, and similar 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.

Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)
This Model wireless phone meets the governments requirements for
exposure to radio waves.
Your mobile device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and
manufactured to not exceed limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy
set by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the U.S. government
and by the Canadian regulatory authorities. 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 for the safety of all persons, regardless of age or 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 using standard
operating positions accepted by the FCC 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 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, the lower the power output. Before a phone model is available for
sale to the public in the U.S, it must be tested and certified to the FCC that it
does not exceed the limit establish for safe exposure. The tests are performed in
positions and locations (e.g, at the ear and worn on the body) reported to the
FCC.
Before a phone model is available for sale to the public in the U.S, it must
be tested and certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the limit establish for
safe exposure. The tests are performed in positions and locations (e.g, at the ear
and worn on the body) reported to the FCC. While there may be differences
between the SAR levels of various phones and at various positions, they all
meet the governmental requirements for safe exposure. Please note that
improvements to this product model could cause differences in the SAR value
for later products, in all cases, products are designed to be within the guidelines.
Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on the
