Regulatory Information

FCC Rules Compliance

(United States Federal Communications Commission)

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 radiate 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.

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible 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 conjunction 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 - 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 poser 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 1.12 W/kg and when near the body, as described in this user guide, is 1.44 W/kg

(near the body 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 www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fc cid after searching - FCC ID:

YHLBLUB100DL.

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 1.5cm from the body. Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines.

Safety precautions for power supply unit

Use the correct external power source

A product should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the electrical ratings label. If you are not sure of the type of power source required, consult your authorized service provider or local power company. For a product that operates from battery power or other sources, refer to the operating instructions that are included with the product.

This product should be operated only with the following designated power supply unit(s).

Travel charger: Input: 100-240V, 50/60Hz, 0.15A. Output: 5V, 1000mA

Handle battery packs carefully

This product contains a Lithium-ion battery. There is a risk of fire and burns if the battery pack is handled improperly. Do not attempt to open or service the battery pack. Do not disassemble, crush, puncture, short circuit the external contacts or circuits, dispose of in fire or water, or expose a battery pack to temperatures higher than 113°F (45°C). The operating temperature for the phone is 0°F (0°C) to 113°F (45°C).

Warning: Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced.

To reduce risk of fire or burns, do not disassemble, crush, puncture, short circuit the external contacts, expose to temperature above 113°F (45°C), or dispose of i n fire or water. Replace only with specified batteries. Recycle or dispose of used batteries according to the local regulations or reference guide supplied with your product.

Take extra precautions

• Do not disassemble or open crush, bend or deform, puncture or shred.

• Do not short circuit a battery or allow metallic conductive objects to contact battery

terminals.

• The phone should only be connected to products that bear the USB- IF logo or have completed the USB-IF compliance program.

• Do not modify or remanufacture, att empt to insert foreign objects into the battery, immerse or expose to water or other liquids, expose to fire, explosion or other hazard.

• Battery usage by children should be supervised.

• Only use the battery for the system f or which it is specified.

• Only use the battery with a charging system t hat has been qualified with the system per

CTIA Certification Requirement for Battery System Compliance to IEEE1725. Use of an

unqualified battery or charger may present a risk of fire, explosion, leakage or other hazard.

• Replace the battery only with another batt ery that has been qualified with the system per this standard, IEEE-Std-1725. Use of an unqualified battery may present a risk of fire, explosion, leakage or other hazard.

• Promptly dispose of used batteries in accordance with local regulations.

• Avoid dropping the phone or battery. If the phone or battery is dropped, especially on a

hard surface, and the user suspects damage, take it to a service center for inspection.

o Do not allow the leaking fluid to come in contact with eyes. If already in contact, DO

NOT rub; rinse with clean water immediately and seek medical advice.

o Take extra precautions to keep a leaking battery away from fire as there is a danger of

ignition or explosion.

Hearing Aid Compatibility (HAC) for Wireless Telecommunication Devices

This phone has a HAC rating of M3/T4.

What is hearing aid compatibility?

The Federal Communications Commission has implemented rules and a rating system designed to enable people who wear hearing aids to more effectively use these wireless telecommunications devices. The standard for compatibility of digital wireless phones with hearing aids is set forth in American National Standard Institute (ANSI) standard C63.19. There are two sets of ANSI standards with ratings from one to four (four being the best rating): an “M” rating for reduced interference making it easier to hear conversations on the phone when using the hearing aid microphone, and a “T” rating that enables the phone to be used with hearing aids operating in the tele-coil mode thus reducing unwanted background noise.

How will I know which wireless phones are hearing aid compatible?

The Hearing Aid Compatibility rating is displayed on the wireless phone box. A phone is considered Hearing Aid Compatible for acoustic coupling (microphone mode) if it has an “M3” or “M4” rating. A digital wireless phone is considered Hearing Aid Compatible for inductive coupling (tele-coil mode) if it has a “T3” or “T4” rating.
