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.

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.

Page 15

Technical Details

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.

Part 15.19 statement

This device and its accessories comply with part15 of FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

(1) This device & its accessories may not cause harmful interference. (2) This device & its accessories must accept any interference received, including

interference that may cause 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.

Page 16

Technical Details

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. The phone operates on Verizon’s 4G network, based on Long Term Evolution (LTE)

technology and Mobile Broadband 4G networks in the United States*. Now you can connect easily at high speeds to the Internet, your corporate Intranet,

and your email while you’re away from the ofﬁce.

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, or “hotspot.” 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)

When you connect to a Wi-Fi network, the phone obtains a network address and other information it needs from the network, using the DHCP protocol. To conﬁgure the phone with a static IP address and other advanced settings, from the Wi-Fi settings screen touch the Menu Key > Advanced.

To turn Wi-Fi on and connect to a Wi-Fi network

1. Touch the Apps Key > Settings > Wireless & networks > Wi-Fi

settings.

2. If the Wi-Fi box is not checkmarked, touch Wi-Fi to turn it on and scan

To show pop-up when new networks are detected

If “Notify Me” is selected and Wi-Fi is on, your device will display a pop-up whenever you launch apps and new networks are detected.

When Wi-Fi is off and the user launches apps, your device will turn on Wi-Fi and will display a pop-up whenever new networks are detected.

When Notify Me is unchecked, your device will not show the above popups.

To automatically turn on Wi-Fi when Wi-Fi is off and launching applications

“Auto On” : allows you to enable/disable the automatic activation of Wi-Fi upon launching an application.

To add a Wi-Fi network

You can add a Wi-Fi network so the phone will remember it, along with any security credentials, and connect to it automatically when it is in range. You can also add a Wi-Fi network manually if it does not broadcast its name (SSID) or if you want to add a Wi-Fi network when you are out of its range. To add a secured network, you need to contact the network’s administrator 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 Wi-Fi network.

3. Enter the Network SSID (name) of the network.

If the network is secured, touch Security and touch the type of security deployed on the network.
