FCC 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
standards 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 antenna or one that is approved.
Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could impair
call quality, damage the phone, or result in a 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 a replacement antenna.
Body-worn Operation
This device was tested for typical body-worn operations with the back
of the phone kept 1.5 cm. from the body. To maintain compliance
with FCC RF exposure requirements, use only belt-clips, holsters
or similar accessories that maintain at least a 0.59 inch (1.5 cm.) separation
distance, between the user's body and the back of the phone, including
the antenna. The use of belt-clips, holsters and similar accessories
should not contain metallic components in its assembly. The use of
accessories that do not satisfy these requirements may not comply
with FCC RF exposure requirements, and should be avoided.
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 web
site at http://www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety/
