to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful
interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired operation.
Any changes or modifi cations not expressly approved by Mobicom Corporation will void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. Use only
Mobicom approved chargers.
Note: 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 this equipment does cause harmful
interference to radio 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.

which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
THIS PHONE MODEL HAS BEEN CERTIFIED TO BE IN COMPLIANCE
WITH THE GOVERNMENT’S REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO
RADIO WAVES.
Before a phone model is available to sale to the public, it must be tested
and certifi ed that it does not exceed government limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy. Specifi c Absorption Rate (SAR) is a value that
corresponds to the relative amount of RF energy absorbed by the user
of a wireless phone. The Federal Communications Commission of the
United States government and Health Canada set SAR limits. The limits
include a safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons,
regardless of age and health. The maximum allowed SAR value set by
the FCC is 1.6 W/kg. Tests for SAR values are conducted using FCC approved operating positions at the highest possible power levels. Although
the SAR is determined at the highest certifi ed power level, the actual SAR
level of the phone while operating is likely well below the maximum value.
The highest SAR values as reported to the FCC for this model phone are
in full compliance with FCC limits.
For more information about RF exposure, visit the FCC website at www.
fcc.gov. Additional information on Specifi c Absorption Rates (SAR) can be
found on the Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA)
website:
http://www.ctia.org/wireless_consumers/health_and_safety/index.cfm
or the Canadian Wireless Telecommunications Association (CWTA) website: http://www.cwta.ca
