only the supplied integral antenna. Use of unauthorized or modified antennas
may impair call quality and damage the phone, causing loss of performance
and SAR levels exceeding the recommended limits as well as result in noncompliance with local regulatory requirements in your country.
optimal phone performance and ensure human exposure to RF energy is
within the guidelines set forth in the relevant standards, always use your
device only in its normal-use position. Contact with the antenna area may
impair call quality and cause your device to operate at a higher power level
than needed. Avoiding contact with the antenna area when the phone is IN
USE optimizes the antenna performance and the battery life.

FCC RF Exposure Information
Read this information before operating the phone.
WARNING!
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 those international standards.
Technical Details
Bodily Contact During Operation
This device was tested for typical use with the back of the phone kept
0.39 inches (1.0 cm) from the body. To comply with FCC RF exposure
requirements, a minimum separation distance of 0.39 inches (1.0 cm)
must be maintained between the user’s body and the back of the
phone, including the antenna. Third-party belt-clips, holsters, and similar
accessories containing metallic components should not be used. Avoid
the use of accessories that cannot maintain 0.39 inches (1.0 cm) distance
between the user’s body and the back of the phone and have not been
tested for compliance with FCC RF exposure limits.
Vehicle-Mounted External Antenna
(Optional, if available.)
To satisfy FCC RF exposure requirements, keep 8 inches (20 cm) between
the user / bystander and vehicle-mounted external antenna. For more
information about RF exposure, visit the FCC website at www.fcc.gov.
FCC Notice and Cautions
This device and its accessories comply with part 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 causes undesired operation.
Any changes or modifications not expressly approved in this user guide
could void your warranty for this equipment. Use only the supplied antenna.
Use of unauthorized antennas (or modifications to the antenna) could
impair call quality, damage the phone, void your warranty and/or violate FCC
regulations.
Don’t use the phone with a damaged antenna. A damaged antenna could
cause a minor skin burn. Contact your local dealer for a replacement
antenna.

any interference received, including interference that causes undesired operation.
Part 15.21 statement
Changes or modifications that are not expressly approved by the
manufacturer could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
Part 15.105 statement
This equipment has been tested and found 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 you experience interference with reception (e.g.,
television), determine if this equipment is causing the harmful interference
by turning the equipment off and then back on to see if the interference is
affected. If necessary, try correcting 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.

Connecting to Wi-Fi Networks
Wi-Fi is a wireless networking technology that can provide Internet access
at distances of up to 100 meters, depending on the Wi-Fi router and your
surroundings.
To use Wi-Fi on your phone, you must connect to a wireless access point.
Some access points are open and you can simply connect to them. Others
are hidden or implement other security features, so you must configure
your phone so it can connect to them.
Turn off Wi-Fi when you’re not using it, to extend the life of your battery.
The following Status Bar icons indicate your Wi-Fi status.
Connected to a Wi-Fi network (waves indicate connection
strength).

to obtain the password or other required security credentials.
1. Turn on Wi-Fi, if it’s not already on.
2. From the Wi-Fi settings screen, touch ADD NETWORK.

you added. For example, if you don’t want the phone to connect to it
automatically or if it’s a network that you no longer use.
1. Turn on Wi-Fi, if it’s not already on.
2. In the Wi-Fi settings screen, touch and hold the name of the network
that you want to forget.
3. Touch Forget network.
