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 highest SAR value for this phone FCC tested for use in the ear is 0.00 W/kg, and when worn on the body is 0.00 W/kg.

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.

Accessories worn close to the body, without keeping a minimum distance of 1 cm (0.39 inch) between the user's body and the back of the phone, and that have not been tested for typical body operation, may not comply with FCC's RF exposure limits and should be avoided.

7

For Your Safety

External antenna mounted on the vehicle (optional, if available)

It must keep a minimum distance of 20 cm (8 inches) between the user / bystander and the vehicle mounted external antenna, in order to satisfy FCC's RF exposure requirements.

Safety instructions

TIA's Safety Information

This includes complete security information on wireless phones from TIA (Telecommunications Industry Association).

It's required, for CTIA Certification, the inclusion in the user manual of text covering pacemakers, hearing aids and other medical devices. It's encouraged the use of the remaining TIA language when relevant.

Exposure to Radio Frequency Signal

Your wireless handheld portable telephone is a lowpower radio transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it receives and also sends out radio frequency (RF) signals.

In August, 1996, the Federal Communications Commissions (FCC) adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for handheld wireless phones. Those guidelines are consistent with the safety standards previously set by

CPUI 6 4 BOE JOUFSOBUJPOBM TUBOEBSET CPEJFT

ANSI C95.1 (1992) * NCRP Report 86 (1986) ICNIRP (1996)

Those standards were based on comprehensive and periodic evaluations of the relevant scientific literature. For example, over 120 scientists, engineers, and physicians from universities, government health agencies, and industry reviewed the available body of research to develop

the ANSI Standard (C95.1).

*American National Standards Institute; National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements; International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection.

The design of your phone complies with the FCC guidelines (and those standards).

Antenna Care

Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage the phone and may violate FCC regulations.

Phone Operation

NORMAL POSITION: Hold the phone as you would any other telephone with the antenna pointed up and over your shoulder.

Safety instructions

Hearing Aids

Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of such interference, we recommend that you contact your service provider.

Other Medical Devices

If you use any other personal medical devices, consult your device manufacturer to determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your doctor can help you obtain this information.

Health Care Facilities

Turn off your phone in health care facilities, whenever there are signs asking you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may use equipment that could be sensitive to external RF energy.

Vehicles

RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded devices in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer, or its representative, regarding your vehicle.

You should also consult the manufacturer about any equipment that has been added to your vehicle.

Facilities with signs

Turn off the phone in any facility where warning signs request you to do so.

Airplanes

FCC regulations prohibit the use of phones while in the air. Turn off your phone before boarding an airplane.

Blasting Areas

To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your phone off when in a 'blasting area' or in areas with signs

UIBU SFBE h5VSO PGG UXP XBZ SBEJPTh 0CFZ BMM TJHOT BOE JOTUSVDUJPOT

12

Potentially Explosive Atmosphere

Turn off the phone when in an area with a potentially explosive atmosphere, and obey all signs and instructions. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire that could result in personal injury or death.

Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often clearly marked, but not always. Among the potentially

EBOHFSPVT BSFBT BSF

Fueling areas (such as gas stations), areas below deck on boats, facilities where chemical products are transferred or stored, vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (as propane or butane), areas where the air contains chemicals or particles (such as grain, dust or metal powders), and any other areas where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine.

For vehicles equipped with air bags

Air bags inflate with strong force. Do not place objects in the area over the air bag or in its deployment area, including wireless equipment, either installed or portable.

Serious injuries could occur if wireless equipment is improperly installed into the car when the air bag inflates.
