Safety Precautions
*** The value is under simultaneous transmission use conditions.
**** Use at positions other than at the ear
This mobile phone may be used at positions other than at the ear. By using an accessory such as a
belt clip holster that maintains a 1.5 cm separation with no metal (parts) between it and the body
and the mobile phone, this mobile phone will comply with international guidelines for radio wave
protection.
The World Health Organization has announced that "A large number of studies have been
performed over the last two decades to assess whether mobile phones pose a potential health risk.
To date, no adverse health effects have been established as being caused by mobile phone use."

FCC RF Exposure Information
Your handset is a radio transmitter and receiver. It 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 guidelines are based on standards that were developed by independent scientific organization
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 handsets 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. 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 handset as reported to the FCC when tested for use at the
ear is 0.556 W/kg, and when worn on the body in a holder or carry case, is 0.799 W/kg.
Body-worn Operation; This device was tested for typical body-worn operations with the handset
kept 1.0 cm from the body. To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure requirements, use
accessories that maintain a 1.0 cm separation distance between the user's body and the handset.
