completely before replacing it.

 Do not use or store the device in dusty, dirty areas. Its

moving parts and electronic components can be
damaged.

 Do not store the device in high or cold temperature.

High temperatures can shorten the life of electronic
devices and damage batteries.

 The operating temperature is between -10~40℃.
 Do not attempt to open the device other than as

and prevent proper operation.

 Use chargers indoors.

This mobile phone complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules.

Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This
device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device
must accept any interference received, including interference
that may cause undesired operation.

This mobile phone has been tested and found to comply with
the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the
FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a residential
installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiated
radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular

-17-

installation If this equipment does cause harmful interference
to radio or television reception, which can be determined by
turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try
to correct the interference by one or more of the following
measures:

-Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

-Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

-Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different
from that to which the receiver is connected.

-Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for
help.

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party

responsible for compliance could void the user‘s authority to

RF Exposure Information (SAR)

This mobile phone meets the government’s requirements for
exposure to radio waves.
This phone is designed and manufactured not to exceed the
emission limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set
by the Federal Communications Commission of the U.S.
Government.

The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a

-18-

unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or
SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg. *Tests for SAR
are conducted using standard operating positions accepted 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, the lower the power output.

The highest SAR value for the model phone as reported to the
FCC when tested for use at the ear is 1.17 W/kg and when worn
on the body, as described in this user guide, is 1.42 W/kg
(Body-worn measurements differ among phone models,
depending upon available accessories and FCC requirements.)

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 www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid after

-19-

searching on FCC ID: YHLBLUELITE.

For body worn operation, this phone has been tested and
meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines for use with an accessory
that contains no metal and the positions the handset a
minimum of 1.0 cm from the body. Use of other accessories
may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines.
If you do no t use a body-worn accessory and are not holding
the phone at the ear, position the handset a minimum of 1.0
cm from your body when the phone is switched on.
