THIS MODEL PHONE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT’S
REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.
Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is
designed and manufactured to not exceed the emission limits for
exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal
Communications Commission of the U.S. Government. These
limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish
permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The
guidelines are based on standards that were developed by
independent scientific organizations through periodic and
thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The standards include
a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all
persons, regardless of age and health.
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 1.6 W/kg.*
Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions
specified 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 power required to reach the network. In general, the closer
you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power
output.
Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, it must
be tested and certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the
limit established by the government-adopted requirement for
safe exposure. The tests are performed in positions and
locations (e.g., at the ear and worn on the body) as required by
the FCC for each model.
Body-worn measurements differ among phone models,
depending upon availability of 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 for safe exposure.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model
phone with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance
with the FCC RF emission guidelines. SAR information on this
model phone is on file with the FCC and can be found under the
Display Grant section
the FCC ID: OVFK50-03.
Additional information on SAR can be found on the Cellular
Telecomm unications and Internet Association (CTIA) web-site at
www.ctia.org
* In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile
phones used by the public is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over

one gram of tissue. The standard incorporates a substantial
margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and to
account for any variations in measurements.

Use the instructions in this guide to learn how to optimize the
performance and life of your phone and battery.
Air Bags
If you have an air bag, DO NOT place installed or portable
phone equipment or other objects over the air bag or in the air
bag deployment area. If equipment is not properly installed, you
and your passengers risk serious injury.
Medical devices
Pacemakers
—Warning to pacemaker wearers: Wireless
phones, when in the ‘on’ position, have been shown to interfere
with pacemakers. The phone should be kept at least six (6)
inches away from the pacemaker to reduce risk.
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association and the wireless
technology research community recommend that you follow
these guidelines to minimize the potential for interference.
• Always keep the phone at least six inches (15 centimeters)
away from your pacemaker when the phone is turned on.
• Do not carry your phone near your heart.
• Use the ear opposite the pacemaker.
• If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking
place, turn off your phone immediately.

Radio Frequency (RF) energy
Your telephone is a radio tran smitter and re ceiver. When it is on,
it receives and sends out RF energy. Your service provider’s
network controls the power of the RF signal. This power level
can range from 0.006 to 0.6 watts.
In August 1996, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission
(FCC) adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for
hand-held wireless phones. These guidelines are consistent with
the safety standards previously set by both U.S. and
international standards bodies in the following reports:
• ANSI C95.1 (American National Standards Institute, 1992)
• NCRP Report 86 (National Council on Radiation Protection
and Measurements, 1986)
• ICNIRP (International Commission on Non-Ionizing
Radiation Protection, 1996)
Your phone complies with the standards set by these reports
and the FCC guidelines.
E911 mandates
Where service is available, this handset complies with the Phase
I and Phase II E911 Mandates issued by the FCC.
Hearing Aid Compatibility (HAC) with Mobile
Phones
Some mobile phones and hearing devices (hearing aids and
cochlear implants), when used together, result in buzzing,
humming, or whining noises detected by the user.
Some hearing devices are more immune than others to this
interference noise, and phones also vary in the amount of
interference they generate.
The wireless telephone industry has developed ratings for some
of their mobile phones, to assist hearing device users in finding
phones that may be compatible with their hearing devices. Not
all phones have been rated.
Phones that are rated have the rating on their box or a label on
the box. The ratings are not guarantees and results will vary
depending on the user’s hearing device and hearing loss. If your
hearing device happens to be vulnerable to interference, you
may not be able to use a rated phone successfully. Trying out
the phone with your hearing device is the best way to evaluate it
for your personal needs.
M-Ratings
—Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements
and are likely to generate less interference to hearing devices
than phones that are not labeled. M4 is the better/higher of the
two ratings.
T-Ratings
—Phones rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements and
are likely to be more usable with a hearing device’s telecoil (“T
Switch” or “Telephone Switch”) than unrated phones. T4 is the
better/higher of the two ratings. (Note that not all hearing
devices have telecoils in them.)
Hearing devices may also be measured for immunity to this type
of interference. Your hearing device manufacturer or hearing
health professional may help you choose the proper rating for
your mobile phone. The more immune your hearing aid is, the
less likely you are to experience interference noise from mobile
phones.
