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 d igital 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 insta llation.
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television rece ption, which can be determined by
turning the equipment off and on, the user is encou raged 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 resp onsible for compliance could void the user‘s
authority to operate the equipment.

The antenna(s) used for this transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conju nction with any other
antenna or transmitter.

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 unit of measurement known as the Specific
Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg. *Te sts 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 b ecause 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 highest SAR value for the model phone as reported to the FCC when tested for use at the ear is 0.61W/kg
and when worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is 0.34W/kg (Body-worn measurements differ
among phone models, depending upon available accessories and FCC req uirements.)

While there may be differences between the SAR le vels 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 informatio n 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: YHLBLUG9

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 1.0cm from the body. Use of
other accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines. If you do not use a body-worn
accessory and are not holding the phone at the ear, position the handset a minimum of 1.0cm from your body
when the phone is switched on.
