Caution: Don't use tools to remove the cover—doing so may damage your phone.

Put in the cards & power on

Caution: Make sure you use the correct size SIM card,

don’t cut the SIM card, and don’t use an adapter with your SIM card.

For Your Safety

War nin g:

Don't try to remove or replace the battery yourself— doing so may damage the batt ery and cou ld cause b urning an d injury. If your phone b ecomes unres ponsive, tr y a reboot—press and hold the Power key until the screen goes dark and your phone restarts.

*Water resistance:

prolonged exposure to water. Do not submerge in more than three feet of water or for longer than 30 minutes.

Specific Absorption Rate (FCC & IC)

SAR (FCC & IC)

YOUR MOBILE DEVICE MEETS FCC AND IC

This devic e is IPX7 water resis tant—not waterpro of. Avoid

LIMITS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.

Your mobile device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio waves (radio frequency electromagnetic fields) adopted by the Federal Communi cations Commission (FCC) and Industry Canada (I C). These limits include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health. The radio wave exposure guidelines use a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit for mobile devices is 1.6 W/kg. Tests for SAR are conducted us ing standard operating positions with the devic e transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. The highest SAR values under the FCC and I C guidelines fo r your device model a re listed below:

Head SAR GSM 850 MHz Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 1.41 W/kg

Body-worn SAR GSM 850 MHz Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 1.10 W/kg

During use, the actual SAR values for your device are usually well below the values stated. This is because, for purposes of system efficiency and to minimize interference on the network, the operating power of your mobile device is automatically decreased when full power is not needed for the call. The lower the power output of the device, the lower its SAR value. If you are interested in further reducing your RF exposure then you can easily do so by limiting your usage or simply using a hands-free kit to keep the device away from the head and bo dy.
