use only the power required to reach the network. In general, the closer
you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output.
Before a new model phone is available for sale to the public, it must be
tested and certified by the FCC that it does not exceed the limit established

whether extended or retracted, and the user’s body. Non-compliance to the
above restrictions may violate FCC RF exposure guidelines.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model phone
with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF
exposure guidelines. SAR information on this model phone is on file with
the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section of
