FCC RF EXPOSURE INFORMATION
Read this information before using your phone
In August 1996 the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the United States with its action in Report and Order FCC 96-326 adopted an
updated safety standard for human exposure to radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC regulated transmitters. Those guidelines
are consistent with the safety standard previously set by both U.S. and international standards bodies. The design of this phone complies with the FCC
guidelines and these international standards.
Use only the supplied or an approved antenna. Unanthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could impair call quality, damaged the phone, or
result in violation of FCC regulations.
Do not use the phone with a damaged antenna. If a damaged antenna comes into contact with the skin, a minor burn may result. Please contact your
local dealer for replacement antenna.
Body-worn Operation
For body-worn operation, The SAR testing of the device was performed using a 1.5cm air gap, which corresponds to using clips and holsters that
contain no metallic components and meets FCC RF exposure guidelines. The use of accessories that do not satisfy these requirements may not comply
with FCC RF exposure compliance and should be avoided.

Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) for Wireless Phones
The SAR is a value that corresponds to the relative amount of RF energy absorbed in the head of a user for a wireless handset. The SAR value of a
phone is the result of an extensive testing, measuring and calculation process. It does not represent how much RF the phone emits. All phone models are
tested at their highest value in strict laboratory settings. But when in operation, the SAR of a phone can be substantially less that the level reported to the
FCC. This is because of a variety of factors including its proximity to a base station antenna, phone design and other factors. What is important to
remember is that each phone meets strict federal guidelines. Variations in SAR's do not represent a variation in safety. All phones must meet the federal
standard, which incorporates a substantial margin of safety. As stated above, variations in SAR values between different model phones do not mean
variations in safety. SAR values at or below the federal standard of 1.6W/kg are considered safe for use by the public.
