TIA Safety Information

The following is the complete TIA Safety Information for wireless handheld phones.

Antenna Care

Use only the supplied or an approved r

eplacement antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage the phone and may violate FCC regulations.

Phone Operation

NORMAL POSITION: Hold the phone as you w

ould any other telephone with the antenna

pointed up and over your shoulder.

Tips on Efficient Operation

For your phone to operate most efficiently: Don

’t touch the antenna unnecessarily when the phone is in use. Contact with the antenna affects call quality and may cause the phone to operate at a higher power level than otherwise needed.

Driving

Check the laws and regulations on the use of wir

eless phones in the areas where you drive and always obey them. Also, if using your phone while driving, please observe the following:

• Give full attention to driving -- driving safely is

your first responsibility;

• Use hands-free operation, if available;

• Pull off the road and park before making or

answering a call if driving conditions or the law require it.

Electronic Devices

Most modern electronic equipment is shielded fr

om RF signals. However, certain electronic equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals from your wireless phone.

Pacemakers

The Health Industry Manufacturers Association r

ecommends that a minimum separation of six (6) inches be maintained between a handheld wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with the independent research by and recommendations of Wireless Technology Research.

Persons with pacemakers:

• Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than

six (6) inches fr

om their pacemaker when the

phone is turned ON;

• Should not carr y the phone in a breast pocket;

• Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to

minimize the potential for interference;

• Should turn the phone OFF immediately if

there is any reason to suspect that interference is taking place.

Hearing Aids

Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids

. In the event of such interference, you may want to consult your service provider (or call the customer service line to discuss alternatives).

For Your Safety

This phone model meets the government's requirements for exposure to Radio Waves. Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission of the U.S. Government. These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines are based on standards that were developed by independent scientific organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The standards include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.

The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions specified by the FCC with the phone transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. Although SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the phone while operating can be well below the maximum value. Because the phone is designed to operate at multiple power levels to use only the power required to reach the network, in general, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output.

Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and certified to the FCC

that it does not exceed the limit established by the government-adopted requirement for safe exposure. The tests are performed in positions and locations (e.g., at the ear and worn on the body) as required by the FCC for each model.

The highest SAR value for this model phone when tested for use at the ear is 0.00 W/kg and when worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is 0.00W/kg (body-worn measurements differ among phone models, depending upon available accessories and FCC requirements). While there may be differences between SAR levels of various phones and at various positions, they all meet the government requirement for safe exposure.

The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model phone with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF emission guidelines. SAR information on this model phone is on file with the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section of http://www.fcc.gov/ oet/fccid after searching on FCC ID BEJLG500G. Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on the Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association (CTIA) website at http://www.ctia.org.

* In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit

for mobile phones used by the public is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue. The standard incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and to account for any variations in measurements.

Body-worn Operation

This device has been tested for typical body

-worn operations with the distance of 0.79inches (2.0cm) from the user’s body.

To comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, a minimum separation distance of 0.79inches(2.0cm) must be maintained from the user’s body.

For example, this device must be maintained from the user’s body with an appropriatebelt-clip accessory.[More than 0.79inches(2.0cm)]

Additionally, Belt clips, holsters & other body-worn accessories may not contain metallic components.

Part 15.21 statement

Change or Modifications that are not expr

essly approved by the manufacturer could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

Part 15.19 statement

This device and its accessories comply with par

t 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 may cause undesired operation.

Part 15.105 statement

This equipment has been tested and f

ound to comply with the limits for a class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving

antenna.

• Increase the separation between the

equipment and receiver.

• Connect the equipment into an outlet on

a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

• Consult the dealer or an experienced

radio/TV technician for help.
