FCC Regulations:

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
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.
FCC Note:
Caution: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could

void the user‘s authority to operate the equipment.

RF Exposure Information (SAR)

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 United States.

During SAR testing, this device was set to transmit at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency
bands, and placed in positions that simulate RF exposure in usage against the head with no separation,
and near the body with the separation of 10 mm. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified
power level, the actual SAR level of the device 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.

The exposure standard for wireless devices employing a unit of measurement is known as the Specific
Absorption Rate, or SAR.

The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg.

This device is complied with SAR for general population /uncontrolled exposure limits in ANSI/IEEE
C95.1-1992 and had been tested in accordance with the measurement methods and procedures specified
in IEEE1528. This device has been tested and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines when tested with
the device directly contacted to the body.

29

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
searching on FCC ID: YHLBLUENERGYXPS.

For this device, the highest reported SAR value for usage against the head is 0.40 W/kg, for usage near the
body is 0.97 W/kg.

While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones and at various positions, they all
meet the government requirements.

SAR compliance for body-worn operation is based on a separation distance of 10 mm between the unit and
the human body. Carry this device at least 10 mm away from your body to ensure RF exposure level
compliant or lower to the reported level. To support body-worn operation, choose the belt clips or
holsters, which do not contain metallic components, to maintain a separation of 10 mm between this
device and your body.

RF exposure compliance with any body-worn accessory, which contains metal, was not tested and certified,
and use such body-worn accessory should be avoided.

IC Radiation Exposure Statement

This EUT is compliance with SAR for general population/uncontrolled exposure
limits in IC RSS-102 and had been tested in accordance with the measurement
methods and procedures specified in IEEE 1528 and IEC 62209. This equipment
should be installed and operated with minimum distance 1.0 cm between the
radiator and your body. This device and its antenna(s) must not be co-located or
operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

Cet appareil est conforme aux limites d'exposition DAS incontrôlée pour la population
générale de la norme CNR-102 d'Industrie Canada et a été testé en conformité avec
