FCC Part 15 Class B Compliance

This device and its accessories comply with
part 15 of FCC rules. Operation is subject to
the following two conditions: (1) This device
and its accessories may not cause harmful
interference, and (2) this device and its
accessories must accept any interference
received, including interference that causes
undesired operation.

FCC RF Exposure Information

WARNING! Read this

information before operating the
phone.

In August 1996, the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) of the United States, with
its action in Report and Order FCC 96-326,
adopted an updated safety standard for
human exposure to Radio Frequency (RF)
electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC
regulated transmitters. Those guidelines are
consistent with the safety standard
previously set by both U.S. and international
standards bodies.

The design of this phone complies with the
FCC guidelines and these international
standards.

Bodily Contact During Operation

This device was tested for typical use with
the back of the phone kept 0.79 inches (2
cm) from the body. To comply with FCC RF
exposure requirements, a minimum
separation distance of 0.79 inches (2 cm)
must be maintained between the user’s body
and the back of the phone, including the
antenna, whether extended or retracted.
Third-party belt-clips, holsters, and similar
accessories containing metallic components

should not be used. Avoid the use of
accessories that cannot maintain 0.79 inches
(2 cm) distance between the user’s body and
the back of the phone and have not been
tested for compliance with FCC RF exposure
limits.

Vehicle-Mounted External Antenna
(Optional, if available)

A minimum distance of 8 inches (20cm)
must be maintained between the user/
bystander and the vehicle-mounted external
antenna to satisfy FCC RF exposure
requirements. For more information about RF
exposure, visit the FCC website at
www.fcc.gov.

Caution

Use only the supplied and approved antenna.
Use of unauthorized antennas or
modifications could impair call quality,
damage the phone, void your warranty
and/or result in violation of FCC regulations.

Do not use the phone with a damaged
antenna. If a damaged antenna comes into
contact with the skin a minor burn may
result. Contact your local dealer for a
replacement antenna.
