o o This device 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
33
Page 34
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:
o Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. o Increase the separation between the equipment and

o RF Exposure Information (SAR) o This device meets the government’s requirements for
exposure to radio waves.
o This device 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.
o o The exposure standard for wireless device 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 device 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 device while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the device 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.
o o The highest SAR value for the model device as reported
to the FCC when tested for use at the ear is 1.01 W/kg and when worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is 0.42 W/kg (Body-worn measurements differ among device models, depending upon available
35
Page 36
accessories and FCC requirements.)
o o While there may be differences between the SAR levels
of various devices and at various positions, they all meet the government requirement.
o o The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this
model device with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR information on this model device 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: WVBA936.
o o For body worn operation, this device has been tested
and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines for use with an accessory that contains no metal and be positioned a minimum of 1.5cm 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 device at the ear, position the handset a minimum of 1.5cm from your body when the device is switched on.
