Information about the RF exposure from FCC
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 international and U.S. standards.
The design of this phone complies with FCC guidelines and these international
standards.
Caution
Use only the supplied antenna. Use of unauthorized antennas, or modifications, could
impair call quality, damage the phone, void your warranty, or result in a violation of FCC
regulations.
Do not use the phone with a damaged antenna.
A damaged antenna in contact with the skin could cause a singe. Contact your local
dealer for an antenna replacement.
Body effects
This device was tested for typical body operation, keeping a distance of 1 cm (0.39
inch) between the user's body and the back of the phone. To comply with RF exposure
requirements of the FCC standards, a minimum distance of 1 cm (0.39 inch) between
the user's body and the back of the phone is required.
Belt-clips, holsters, and similar accessories containing metallic components from others
manufacturers should not be used.
