This phone was tested for typical body-worn operations. To comply with RF

maintained between the user’s body and the phone, including the antenna.
Third-party belt-clips, holsters, and similar accessories used by this phone should
not contain any metallic components. Body-worn accessories that do not meet
these requirements may not comply with RF exposure requirements and should
be avoided.
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 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.
