zNOTE: 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

3
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 is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception,33which 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

4
the receiver is connected.
-- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
zCaution: This device complies with Part15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is
subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful
interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired operation. Please follow the
correct procedure to switch off the device. Do not install or remove the battery
when switching on or charging the device, so as to avoid side effects such as
data loss.
zCaution: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the

5
equipment. Some electronic devices are susceptible to electromagnetic
interference sent by phone if inadequately shielded. Please use phone at least
20cm or as far as you can from TV set, radio and other automated office
equipment so as to avoid interference.
zCaution: Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed
and manufactured not to exceed limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF)
energy set by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the U.S.
Government. These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish
permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines are
based on standards that were developed by independent scientific
organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies.

6
The standards include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety
of all persons, regardless of age or health. The exposure standard for wireless
fixed phoned employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption
Rate, or SAR. The SAR limits set by the FCC are 1.6W/kg. Tests for SAR are
conducted using standard operating positions accepted by the FCC with the
phone transmitting as its highest certified power level in all
tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified
power level, the actual SAR level of the phone 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.

7
In general, the closer you are to a wireless base station, the lower the output
power.
zThe Highest SAR Values for this model phone when tested for use on the body
were 0.622mW/g.
zFor body worn operation, this phone has been tested and meets FCC RF
exposure guidelines when used whit an accessory that contains no metal and
that positions the handset a minimum of 1.5cm from the body.
zThank you very much for purchasing our products.
