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 1.0cm 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.
