Declaration of Conformity

We declare under our sole responsibility that the product(s) detailed in this manual, and in combination with our accessories, conform to the essential requirements of European Union Directive 1999/5/ EC Radio and Telecommunications Terminal Equipment Directive requirements 3.1(a), 3.1(b), 3.2.

The video/audio recor din gs you make/do wnl oad ar e protec ted by copyright laws. They are for personal use only and must not otherwise be used without the permission of the copyright owner.

Radio Frequency (RF) Energy

• This model device meets the government’s requirements for

exposure to radio waves.

• This device 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.

• The exposure standard for wireless devices employs a unit of measurement known as the Specic Absorption Rate or 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 device transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. Although

the SAR is determined at the highest certied power level, the

actual SAR level of the device while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the device 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 highest SAR value for the model phone as reported to the

FCC is 1.13 W/kg in WCDMA mode, and 0.726 W/kg in GSM mode.

• While there may be differences between th e SAR levels of

various devices and at various positions, they all meet the government requirement.

• The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model

device with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR information on this

model device is on le with the FCC and can be found under

the Display Grant section of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching on:

• FCC ID: Q78-ZTET203.

• For body worn operation, th is modem has been tested and

me et s t he FCC R F e xp osu re gui del in es for use w it h a n accessory that contains no metal and positions the handset a minimum of 1.5 cm from the body. Use of other enhancements may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guideline.

FCC 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.

2. This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation

Caution: Ch a n g es or modif i c atio n s not ex p res s l y app r o v ed by th e

manu fa ctu re r cou ld void the use r ’s a ut hor it y to ope ra te the

equipment. Notes: 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 caus e harmful interfe rence to r adio co mmunications. 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.

Disposing of Your Phone

The symbol on the equipment indicates that it must be the

object of “separate collection”.

Th er e fo re, the c us t om er has to con ta ct loc al aut hor iti es to dete rmine the proper disposal methods for that municip ality or deliver it to the retailer in exchange for newly purchased equipment.

The separate collection of garbage and the successive operations of treatment, recovery and waste help in the production of equipment made with recycled material and limits the hazardous effects on the atmosphere and health caused by improper management of garbage. The illicit di sposal of the pro duct by the customer involves the application of the administrative endorsements of which to article 254 and following of the D.Lgs. 152, April 3rd 2006.
