FCC RF EXPOSURE INFORMATION

WARNING! Read this information before using your 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.

Use only the supplied or an approved antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications,
or attachments could impair call quality, damage the phone, 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. Please contact your local dealer for
replacement antenna.

Body-worn Operation

This device was tested for typical body-worn operations with the back of the phone kept

0.6 inches (1.5 cm) from the body. To comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, a
minimum separation distance of 0.6 inches (1.5 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 should not contain
metallic components and must provide 0.6 inch (1.5 cm) separation distance between
the user’s body and the back of the phone. Body-worn accessories that do not meet
these requirements may not comply with FCC RF exposure limits and should be
avoided.

For more information about RF exposure, please visit the FCC website at www.fcc.gov
