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.

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:
YHLBLUSTMNLTE2.

For this device, the highest reported SAR value for usage against the head

is 0.61 W/kg, for usage near the body is 1.31 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 Notice

This device complies with Industry Canada license-exempt RSS
standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) this device may not cause interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that
may cause undesired operation of the device.
