BODY-WORN OPERATION:
This device was tested for typical body-worn operations with the back of the phone kept 0.5cm
from the body. To comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, a minimum separation distance of
0.5cm must be maintained between the user's body and the back of the phone, including the
antenna, whether extended or retracted. Third-party belt-clips, holsters and similar accessories
containing metallic components shall not be used. Body-worn accessories
that cannot maintain 0.5cm separation distance between the user’s body and the back of the phone,
and have not been tested for typical body-worn operations may not comply with FCC RF exposure
limits and should be avoided.

Your wireless handheld portable telephone is a low power radio transmitter and receiver. When it
is ON, it receives and also sends out radio frequency (RF) signals. In August, 1996, the Federal
Communications Commissions (FCC) adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for
hand-held wireless phones. Those guidelines are consistent with the safety standards previously set
by both U.S. and international standards bodies:
<ANSIC95.1> (1992) / <NCRP Report 86> (1986) / <ICIMIRP> (1996)
Those standards were based on comprehensive and periodic evaluations of the relevant scientific
literature. For example, over 120 scientists, engineers, and physicians from universities,
government health agencies, and industry reviewed the available body of research to develop the
ANSI Standard (C95.1). Nevertheless, we recommend that you use a hands-free kit with your
phone (such as an earpiece or headset) to avoid potential exposure to RF energy. The design of
your phone complies with the FCC guidelines (and those standards).
Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications,
or attachments could damage the phone and may violate FCC regulations.
NORMAL POSITION:
Hold the phone as you would any other telephone with the antenna pointed up and over your
shoulder.
TIPS ON EFFICIENT OPERATION:
For your phone to operate most efficiently:
• Extend your antenna fully.
•
Do not touch the antenna unnecessarily when the phone is in use. Contact with the antenna
affects call quality and may cause the phone to operate at a higher power level than otherwise
needed.
RF Exposure Information:
FCC RF Exposure requirements: The highest SAR value reported under this standard during
product certification for use next to the body with the minimum separation distance of 0.5cm is
0.706W/kg; next to the head is 0.857W/kg. This transmitter must not be collocated or operating in
