13.1 FCC & Industry Canada Regulatory Compliance

FCC & Industry Canada Regulatory Compliance

This device 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

30

(2) this device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired
operation.
Your mobile device is a low power radio transmitter
and receiver. When it is ON, it receives and also sends
out radio frequency (RF) signals. In August 1996, the
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) adopted
RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for mobile
devices. Those guidelines are consistent with safety
standards previously set by both U.S. and international
standards bodies: American National Standard Institute
(ANSI), National Council of Radiation Protection and
Measurements(NCRP), and International Commission
on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNRP). Those

31

standards were based on comprehensive and periodic
evaluations of the relevant scientific literature. The
design of your phone complies with the FCC
guidelines and applicable.

Statement according to FCC part 15.105
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

32

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.

33

Statement according to FCC part 15.21

Modifications not expressly approved by this company
could void the user's authority to operate the
equipment.

RF exposure FCC

For body worn operation, to maintain compliance with
FCC RF exposure guidelines, use only accessories that
contain no metallic components and provi de a
separation distance of 15mm (0.6 inches) to the body.
Use of other accessories may violate FCC RF exposure
guidelines and should be avoided.
This device and its antenna must not be co-located or

34

operating in conjunction with any other antenna or
transmitter.

Health and Safety Information FCC

This EUT has been shown to be capable of compliance
for localized specific absorption rate (SAR) for
uncontrolled environment/general population exposure
limits specified in ANSI/IEEE Std. C95.1-1992 and
had been tested in accordance with the measurement
procedures specified in FCC/OET Bulletin 65
Supplement C (2001) and IEEE Std. 1528-2003
Ministry of Health (Canada), Safety Code 6. The
standards include a substantial safety margin designed
to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age

35

and health. The exposure standard for wireless mobile
phones employs a unit of measurement known as the
Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set
by the FCC is 1.6W/kg *.
* In the U.S. and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile
phones used by the public is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg)
averaged over one gram of tissue. The standard
incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give
additional protection for the public and to account for
any variations in. The highest reported SAR values
are: Head: 1.13 W/kg; Body-worn: 1.3 W/kg.

**This device contains 1800 MHz GSM functions that are
not operational in U.S. Territories; this filing is applicable
only for 850 MHz GSM and 1900 MHz PCS operations.
