Health and Safety Information

SAR tests are conducted using standard operating positions
specified 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 antenna, the lower
the power output of the phone.
Before a new model phone is available for sale to the public, it
must be tested and certified to the FCC that it does not
exceed the limit established by the government adopted
requirement for safe exposure. 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. While there
may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones
and at various positions, they all meet the government
requirement.
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 http://
www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching on FCC ID printed in
the label on the phone.

For Body Operation
To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure requirements,
use only belt-clips, holsters or similar accessories that maintain
a 1.5 cm. separation distance between the user's body and
the back of the phone, including the antenna. The use of
belt-clips, holsters and similar accessories should not contain
metallic components in its assembly. The use of accessories
that do not satisfy these requirements may not comply with
FCC RF exposure requirements, and should be avoided.

Precautions When Using Batteries
●
Never use any charger or battery that is damaged in any
way.
●
Use the battery only for its intended purpose.
●
If you use the phone near the network’s base station, it
uses less power; talk and standby time are greatly affected
by the signal strength on the cellular network and the
parameters set by the network operator.
