FCC RF Exposure Information (SAR)
This 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
United States.
During SAR testing, this device was set to transmit at its
highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands,
and placed in positions that simulate RF exposure in usage
against the head with no separation, and near the body with
the separation of 10 mm. Although the SAR is determined at
the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the
device 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 power output.
The exposure standard for wireless devices employing a unit
of measurement is known as the Specific Absorption Rate,
or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg.
This device is complied with SAR for general
population/uncontrolled exposure limits in ANSI/IEEE C95.11992 and had been tested in accordance with the
measurement methods and procedures specified in
IEEE1528.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this
model phone with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in
77
Page 78
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 of
www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid after searching on FCC ID: SRQZTEV10VITA. The FCC ID also can be found on the device
when you open Settings > System > About phone.
For this device, the highest reported SAR value for usage
against the head is 0.270 W/kg, and for usage near the body
is 1.452 W/kg.
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of
various phones and at various positions, they all meet the
government requirements.
SAR compliance for body-worn operation is based on a
separation distance of 10 mm between the unit and the
human body. Carry this device at least 10 mm away from
your body to ensure RF exposure level compliant or lower to
the reported level. To support body-worn operation, choose
the belt clips or holsters, which do not contain metallic
components, to maintain a separation of 10 mm between
this device and your body.
RF exposure compliance with any body-worn accessory,
which contains metal, was not tested and certified, and using
such body-worn accessory should be avoided.
FCC Regulations
This mobile phone complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This
78
Page 79
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

airbag deployment area, as an airbag inflates with great
force and serious injury could result. Store the phone in a
safe and secure area before driving your vehicle.
Seizures/ Blackouts
The phone can produce a bright or flashing light. A small
percentage of people may be susceptible to blackouts or
seizures (even if they have never had one before) when
exposed to flashing lights or light patterns such as when
playing games or watching videos. If you have experienced
seizures or blackouts or have a family history of such
occurrences, please consult a physician. To reduce the risk
84
Page 85
of blackouts or seizures, use your phone in a well-lit room
and take frequent breaks.
Repetitive Strain Injuries

texting or playing games with your phone:
Do not grip the phone too tightly.
Press the buttons lightly.
Use the special features which are designed to minimize
the times of pressing buttons, such as Message
Templates and Predictive Text.

Radio Frequency Interference
General Statement on Interference
Care must be taken when using the phone in close proximity
to personal medical devices, such as pacemakers and
hearing aids.
Please consult your doctor and the device manufacturers to
determine if the operation of your phone may interfere with
the operation of your medical devices.
Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum
separation of 15 cm (6 inches) be maintained between a
mobile phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential
interference with the pacemaker. To achieve this, use the
phone on the opposite ear to your pacemaker and do not
carry it in a breast pocket.
Hearing Aids
People with hearing aids or other cochlear implants may
experience interfering noises when using wireless devices or
when one is nearby.
The level of interference will depend on the type of hearing
device and the distance from the interference source.
Increasing the separation between them may reduce the
interference. You may also consult your hearing aid
manufacturer to discuss alternatives.
87
Page 88
Medical Equipment
Turn off your wireless device when you are requested to do
so in hospitals, clinics or healthcare facilities. These
requests are designed to prevent possible interference with
sensitive medical equipment.
Aircraft
Switch off your wireless device whenever you are instructed
to do so by airport or airline staff.
Consult the airline staff about the use of wireless devices
onboard the aircraft and enable airplane mode of your phone
when boarding an aircraft.
Interference in Vehicles
Please note that because of possible interference to
electronic equipment, some vehicle manufacturers forbid the
use of mobile phones in their vehicles unless a hands-free
kit with an external antenna is included in the installation.
Explosive Environments
Gas Stations and Explosive Atmospheres
In locations with potentially explosive atmospheres, obey all
posted signs to turn off wireless devices such as your phone
or other radio equipment.
Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres include fuelling
areas, below decks on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or
88
Page 89
storage facilities, and areas where the air contains
chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal
powders.
Blasting Caps and Areas
Power off your mobile phone or wireless device when in a
blasting area or in areas where signs are posted to power off
“two-way radios” or “electronic devices” to avoid interfering
with blasting operations.
