CAUTION
Use only the supplied and approved antenna. Use of unauthorized antennas

accessories that cannot maintain 3/4 inch (2 cm) separation distance
between the user’s body and the back of the phone, and have not been
tested for typical body-worn operations may not comply with FCC RF
exposure limits and should be avoided.
Vehicle Mounted External Antenna (optional, if
available)
A minimum separation distance of 8 inches (20 cm) must be maintained
between the user/bystander and the vehicle mounted external antenna to
satisfy FCC RF exposure requirements.
