Table of ContentsFCC RF EXPOSURE INFORMATION
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
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 these international standards.
Use only the supplied or an approved antenna. Unauthorized antennas,
modifications, or attachments could impair call quality, damage the
phone, or result in violation of FCC regulations.
Do not use the phone with a damaged antenna. If a damaged antenna
comes into contact with the skin, a minor burn may result. Please contact
your local dealer for replacement antenna.
Body-worn Operation
This device was tested for typical body-worn operations using the
optional belt-clip/holster placed 0.7 inches (1.8cm) from the body.
To comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, a minimum separation
distance of 0.7 inches (1.8cm) must be maintained between the user’s
body and the phone, including the antenna, whether extended or retracted. The use of third-party belt-clips/ holsters with no metallic components
that provide the minimum separation distance of 0.7 inches (1.8cm) can
be used to satisfy FCC RF exposure requirements. The use of non-tested
accessories or other body-worn operations may not comply with FCC RF
exposure requirements and should be avoided. Contact your local dealer
for optional accessory items.
Vehicle Mounted External Antenna (optional, if available.)
A minimum separation distance of 7.9 inches (20cm) must be maintained
Between a person and the vehicle mounted external antenna to satisfy
FCC RF exposure requirements.
For more information about RF exposure, please visit the FCC website at
www.fcc.gov
