Radio Frequency (RF) Signals
THIS MODEL PHONE MEETS THE U.S. GOVERNMENT’S REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO
RADIO WAVES.
Your wireless phone contains a radio transmitter and receiver. Your phone 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 exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a unit of measurement known as the
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR). The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg.* Tests for SAR are
conducted using standard operating positions accepted by the FCC with the phone transmitting at its
highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the 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. This is because the phone is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as 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 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 U.S. government-adopted requirement for safe
exposure. The tests are performed on position and locations (for example, at the ear and worn on the
body) as required by FCC for each model. The highest SAR value for this model phone as reported to
the FCC when tested for use at the ear is 0.53 W/kg, and when worn on the body, is 0.48 W/kg. (Bodyworn measurements differ among phone models, depending upon available accessories and FCC
requirements). While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones and at
various positions, they all meet the U.S. government requirement.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model phone with all reported SAR levels
evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR information on this model
phone is on file with the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section at https://
gullfoss2.fcc.gov/oetcf/eas/reports/GenericSearch.cfm after search on FCC ID A98-JLH2267.
For body worn operation, this phone has been tested and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines
when used with an accessory designated for this product or when used with an accessory that
contains no metal and that positions the handset a minimum of 1.5 cm from the body. Non-compliance
with the above restrictions may result in violation of FCC RF Exposure guidelines.
* In the United States, the SAR limit for wireless mobile phones used by the public is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged
over one gram of tissue. SAR values may vary depending upon national reporting requirements and the network
band.

FCC Regulations
This mobile phone complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject 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.
This mobile phone 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.
• 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.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void
the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
