FCC RF Exposure Information
WARNING
Read this information before operating the phone.
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 (RF) electromagnetic
energy emitted by FCC regulated transmitters. Those guidelines are consistent
with the safety standard previously set by both U.S. and international standards
bodies.
The design of this phone complies with the FCC guidelines and these
international standards.
CAUTION
Use only the supplied and approved antenna. Use of unauthorized antennas or
modifications could impair call quality, damage the phone, void your warranty
and/or result in violation of FCC regulations. Do not use the phone with a
damaged antenna. If a damaged antenna comes into contact with skin, a minor
burn may result. Contact your local dealer for a replacement antenna.

Safety Guidelines
TIA Safety Information
Provided herein is the complete TIA Safety Information for Wireless Handheld
phones. Inclusion of the text covering Pacemakers, Hearing Aids, and Other
Medical Devices is required in the owner’s manual for CTIA Certification. Use of
the remaining TIA language is encouraged when appropriate.
Exposure to Radio Frequency Signal
Your wireless handheld portable telephone is a low power radio transmitter and
receiver. When it is ON, it receives and also sends out radio frequency (RF)
signals. In August, 1996, the Federal Communications Commissions (FCC)
adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for handheld wireless phones.
Those guidelines are consistent with the safety standards previously set by both
U.S. and international standards bodies:
ANSI C95.1 (1992) *
NCRP Report 86 (1986)
ICNIRP (1996)
Those standards were based on comprehensive and periodic evaluations of the
relevant scientific literature. For example, over 120 scientists, engineers, and
physicians from universities, government health agencies, and industry reviewed
the available body of research to develop the ANSI Standard (C95.1).
* American National Standards Institute; National Council on Radiation
Protection and Measurements; International Commission on Non-Ionizing
Radiation Protection
The design of your phone complies with the FCC guidelines (and those
standards).
Antenna Care
Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna. Unauthorized
antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage the phone and may
violate FCC regulations.
Phone Operation
NORMAL POSITION: Hold the phone as you would any other telephone with the
antenna pointed up and over your shoulder.
Tips on Efficient Operation
For your phone to operate most efficiently:
• Do not touch the antenna unnecessarily when the phone is in use. Contact
with the antenna affects call quality and may cause the phone to operate at a
higher power level than otherwise needed.
Driving
Check the laws and regulations on the use of wireless phones in the areas
where you drive. Always obey them. Also, if using your phone while driving,
please:
• Give full attention to driving - driving safely is your first responsibility;
• Use hands-free operation, if available;
• Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving
conditions so require.

7
Electronic Devices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF signals.
However, certain electronic equipment may not be shielded against the RF
signals from your wireless phone.
Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum
separation of six (6”) inches be maintained between a handheld wireless phone
and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker.
These recommendations are consistent with the independent research by and
recommendations of Wireless Technology Research. Persons with pacemakers:
• Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than six inches from their pacemaker
when the phone is turned ON;
• Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket.
• Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for
interference.
• If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, turn your
phone OFF immediately.
Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event
of such interference, you may want to consult your service provider.
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of your
device to determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF energy.
Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this information.
Health Care Facilities
Turn your phone OFF in health care facilities when any regulations posted in
these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may use
equipment that could be sensitive to external RF energy.
Vehicles
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic
systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or its representative
regarding your vehicle.
You should also consult the manufacturer of any equipment that has been
added to your vehicle.
Posted Facilities
Turn your phone OFF in any facility where posted notices so require.
Aircraft
FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while in the air. Turn your phone OFF
before boarding an aircraft.

8
Blasting Areas
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your phone OFF when in a
‘blasting areas or in areas posted: ‘Turn off two-way radio’. Obey all signs and
instructions.
Potentially Explosive Atmosphere
Turn your phone OFF when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere
and obey all signs and instructions. Sparks in such areas could cause an
explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always, marked
clearly. Potential areas may include: fueling areas (such as gasoline stations);
below deck on boats; fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities; vehicles
using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane); areas where the air
contains chemicals or particles (such as grain, dust, or metal powders); and any
other area where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine.
For Vehicles Equipped with an Air Bag
An air bag inflates with great force. DO NOT place objects, including either
installed or portable wireless equipment, in the area over the air bag or in the
air bag deployment area. If in-vehicle wireless equipment is improperly installed
and the air bag inflates, serious injury could result.

Explosion, Shock, and Fire Hazards
• Do not put your phone in a place subject to excessive dust and keep the
minimum required distance between the power cord and heat sources.
• Unplug the power cord prior to cleaning your phone, and clean the power plug
pin when it is dirty.
• When using the power plug, ensure that it is firmly connected. If it is not, it
may cause excessive heat or fire.
• If you put your phone in a pocket or bag without covering the receptacle of
the phone (power plug pin), metallic articles (such as a coin, paperclip or pen)
may shortcircuit the phone. Always cover the receptacle when not in use.
• Do not short-circuit the battery. Metallic articles such as a coin, paperclip
or pen in your pocket or bag may short-circuit the + and – terminals of the
battery (metal strips on the battery) upon moving. Short-circuiting of the
terminal may damage the battery and cause an explosion.
General Notice
• Using a damaged battery or placing a battery in your mouth may cause
serious injury.
• Do not place items containing magnetic components such as a credit card,
phone card, bank book or subway ticket near your phone. The magnetism of
the phone may damage the data stored in the magnetic strip.

Safety Guidelines
FDA Consumer Update
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration Centre for Devices and Radiological
Health Consumer Update on Mobile Phones.
1. Do wireless phones pose a health hazard?
The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are
associated with using wireless phones. There is no proof, however, that wireless
phones are absolutely safe. Wireless phones emit low levels of radio frequency
energy (RF) in the microwave range while being used. They also emit very low
levels of RF when in the standby mode. Whereas high levels of RF can produce
health effects (by heating tissue), exposure to low level RF that does not
produce heating effects causes no known adverse health effects. Many studies
of low level RF exposures have not found any biological effects. Some studies
have suggested that some biological effects may occur, but such findings have
not been confirmed by additional research. In some cases, other researchers
have had difficulty in reproducing those studies, or in determining the reasons
for inconsistent results.
2. What is the FDA’s role concerning the safety of wireless phones?
Under the law, the FDA does not review the safety of radiation emitting
consumer products such as wireless phones before they can be sold, as it does
with new drugs or medical devices. However, the agency has authority to take
action if wireless phones are shown to emit radio frequency energy (RF) at a
level that is hazardous to the user. In such a case, the FDA could require the
manufacturers of wireless phones to notify users of the health hazard and to
repair, replace, or recall the phones so that the hazard no longer exists.
Although the existing scientific data do not justify FDA regulatory actions, the
FDA has urged the wireless phone industry to take a number of steps, including
the following:
• Support needed research into possible biological effects of RF of the type
emitted by wireless phones;
• Design wireless phones in a way that minimizes any RF exposure to the user
that is not necessary for device function; and
• Cooperate in providing of wireless phones with the best possible information
on possible effects of wireless phone use on human health.
The FDA belongs to an interagency working group of the federal agencies that
have responsibility for different aspects of RF safety to ensure coordinated
efforts at the federal level. The following agencies belong to this working group:
• National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health
• Environmental Protection Agency
• Occupational Safety and Health Administration (Administración de la
seguridad y salud laborales)
• Occupational Safety and Health Administration
• National Telecommunications and Information Administration
The National Institutes of Health participates in some interagency working group
activities, as well.
The FDA shares regulatory responsibilities for wireless phones with the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC). All phones that are sold in the United
States must comply with FCC safety guidelines that limit RF exposure. The
FCC relies on the FDA and other health agencies for safety questions about
wireless phones.
The FCC also regulates the base stations that the wireless phone networks rely
upon. While these base stations operate at higher power than do the wireless
phones themselves, the RF exposures that people get from these base stations
are typically thousands of times lower than those they can get from wireless

11
phones. Base stations are thus not the subject of the safety questions discussed
in this document.
3. What kinds of phones are the subject of this update?
The term ‘wireless phone’ refers here to handheld wireless phones with builtin
antennas, often called ‘cell’, ‘mobile’, or ‘PCS’ phones. These types of wireless
phones can expose the user to measurable radiofrequency energy (RF)
because of the short distance between the phone and the user’s head. These
RF exposures are limited by FCC safety guidelines that were developed with
the advice of the FDA and other federal health and safety agencies. When
the phone is located at greater distances from the user, the exposure to RF
is drastically lower because a person’s RF exposure decreases rapidly with
increasing distance from the source. The so-called ‘cordless phones,’ which
have a base unit connected to the telephone wiring in a house, typically operate
at far lower power levels, and thus produce RF exposures far below the FCC
safety limits.
4. What are the results of the research done already?
The research done thus far has produced conflicting results, and many studies
have suffered from flaws in their research methods. Animal experiments
investigating the effects of radiofrequency energy (RF) exposures characteristic
of wireless phones have yielded conflicting results that often cannot be repeated
in other laboratories. A few animal studies, however, have suggested that low
levels of RF could accelerate the development of cancer in laboratory animals.
However, many of the studies that showed increased tumor development used
animals that had been genetically engineered or treated with cancer causing
chemicals so as to be predisposed to develop cancer in the absence of RF
exposure. Other studies exposed the animals to RF for up to 22 hours per
day. These conditions are not similar to the conditions under which people use
wireless phones, so we don’t know with certainty what the results of such studies
mean for human health. Three large epidemiology studies have been published
since December 2000. Between them, the studies investigated any possible
association between the use of wireless phones and primary brain cancer,
glioma, meningioma, or acoustic neuroma, tumors of the brain or salivary gland,
leukemia, or other cancers. None of the studies demonstrated the existence of
any harmful health effects from wireless phone RF exposures.
However, none of the studies can answer questions about longterm exposures,
since the average period of phone use in these studies was around three years.
5. What research is needed to decide whether RF exposure from wireless
phones poses a health risk?
A combination of laboratory studies and epidemiological studies of people
actually using wireless phones would provide some of the data that are needed.
Lifetime animal exposure studies could be completed in a few years. However,
very large numbers of animals would be needed to provide reliable proof of a
cancer promoting effect if one exists. Epidemiological studies can provide data
that is directly applicable to human populations, but 10 or more years follow-up
may be needed to provide answers about some health effects, such as cancer.
This is because the interval between the time of exposure to a cancer-causing
agent and the time tumors develop - if they do may be many, many years.
The interpretation of epidemiological studies is hampered by difficulties in
measuring actual RF exposure during day-to-day use of wireless phones. Many
factors affect this measurement, such as the angle at which the phone is held,
or which model of phone is used.
6. What is the FDA doing to find out more about the possible health effects of
wireless phone RF?
The FDA is working with the U.S. National Toxicology Program and with groups
of investigators around the world to ensure that high priority animal studies

12
Safety Guidelines
are conducted to address important questions about the effects of exposure
to radiofrequency energy (RF). The FDA has been a leading participant in
the World Health Organization International Electromagnetic Fields (EMF)
Project since its inception in 1996. An influential result of this work has been
the development of a detailed agenda of research needs that has driven the
establishment of new research programs around the world. The project has
also helped develop a series of public information documents on EMF issues.
The FDA and the Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA)
have a formal Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA)
to do research on wireless phone safety. The FDA provides the scientific
oversight, obtaining input from experts in government, industry, and academic
organizations. CTIA funded research is conducted through contracts with
independent investigators. The initial research will include both laboratory
studies and studies of wireless phone users. The CRADA will also include a
broad assessment of additional research needs in the context of the latest
research developments around the world.
7. How can I find out how much radiofrequency energy exposure I can get by
using my wireless phone?
All phones sold in the United States must comply with Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) guidelines that limit radiofrequency energy (RF) exposures.
The FCC established these guidelines in consultation with the FDA and the
other federal health and safety agencies. The FCC limit for RF exposure from
wireless telephones is set at a Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) of 1.6 watts
per kilogram (1.6 W/kg). The FCC limit is consistent with the safety standards
developed by the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineering (IEEE) and
the National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurement. The exposure
limit takes into consideration the body’s ability to remove heat from the tissues
that absorb energy from the wireless phone and is set well below levels known
to have effects. Manufacturers of wireless phones must report the RF exposure
level for each model of phone to the FCC. The FCC website (http://www.fcc.gov/
oet/rfsafety) gives directions for locating the FCC identification number on your
phone so you can find your phone’s RF exposure level in the online listing.
8. What has the FDA done to measure the radiofrequency energy coming from
wireless phones?
The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) is developing a
technical standard for measuring the radiofrequency energy (RF) exposure
from wireless phones and other wireless handsets with the participation and
leadership of FDA scientists and engineers. The standard, ‘Recommended
Practice for Determining the Spatial- Peak Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)
in the Human Body Due to Wireless Communications Devices: Experimental
Techniques,’ sets forth the first consistent test methodology for measuring the
rate at which RF is deposited in the heads of wireless phone users. The test
method uses a tissue simulating model of the human head. Standardized
SAR test methodology is expected to greatly improve the consistency of
measurements made at different laboratories on the same phone. SAR is the
measurement of the amount of energy absorbed in tissue, either by the whole
body or a small part of the body. It is measured in watts/kg (or milliwatts/g)
of matter. This measurement is used to determine whether a wireless phone
complies with safety guidelines.
9. What steps can I take to reduce my exposure to radiofrequency energy from
my wireless phone?
If there is a risk from these products - and at this point we do not know that
there is - it is probably very small. But if you are concerned about avoiding even
potential risks, you can take a few simple steps to minimize your exposure to
radiofrequency energy (RF). Since time is a key factor in how much exposure a

13
person receives, reducing the amount of time spent using a wireless phone will
reduce RF exposure. If you must conduct extended conversations by wireless
phone every day, you could place more distance between your body and the
source of the RF, since the exposure level drops off dramatically with distance.
For example, you could use a headset and carry the wireless phone away from
your body or use a wireless phone connected to a remote antenna. Again, the
scientific data does not demonstrate that wireless phones are harmful. But if
you are concerned about the RF exposure from these products, you can use
measures like those described above to reduce your RF exposure from wireless
phone use.
10. What about children using wireless phones?
The scientific evidence does not show a danger to users of wireless phones,
including children and teenagers. If you want to take steps to lower exposure
to radiofrequency energy (RF), the measures described above would apply to
children and teenagers using wireless phones. Reducing the time of wireless
phone use and increasing the distance between the user and the RF source will
reduce RF exposure. Some groups sponsored by other national governments
have advised that children be discouraged from using wireless phones at
all. For example, the government in the United Kingdom distributed leaflets
containing such a recommendation in December 2000. They noted that no
evidence exists that using a wireless phone causes brain tumors or other ill
effects. Their recommendation to limit wireless phone use by children was
strictly precautionary; it was not based on scientific evidence that any health
hazard exists.
11. What about wireless phone interference with medical equipment?
Radiofrequency energy (RF) from wireless phones can interact with some
electronic devices. For this reason, the FDA helped develop a detailed test
method to measure electromagnetic interference (EMI) of implanted cardiac
pacemakers and defibrillators from wireless telephones. This test method is
now part of a standard sponsored by the Association for the Advancement
of Medical instrumentation (AAMI). The final draft, a joint effort by the FDA,
medical device manufacturers, and many other groups, was completed in late
2000. This standard will allow manufacturers to ensure that cardiac pacemakers
and defibrillators are safe from wireless phone EMI. The FDA has tested hearing
aids for interference from handheld wireless phones and helped develop a
voluntary standard sponsored by the Institute of Electrical and Electronic
Engineers (IEEE). This standard specifies test methods and performance
requirements for hearing aids and wireless phones so that no interference
occurs when a person uses a ‘compatible’ phone and a ‘compatible’ hearing aid
at the same time. This standard was approved by the IEEE in 2000. The FDA
continues to monitor the use of wireless phones for possible interactions with
other medical devices. Should harmful interference be found to occur, the FDA
will conduct testing to assess the interference and work to resolve the problem.

Safety Guidelines
10 Driver Safety Tips
Your wireless phone gives you the powerful ability to communicate by voice
almost anywhere, anytime. An important responsibility accompanies the benefits
of wireless phones, one that every user must uphold. When operating a car,
driving is your first responsibility.
When using your wireless phone behind the wheel of a car, practice good
common sense and remember the following tips:
1. Get to know your wireless phone and its features such as speed dial and
redial. Carefully read your instruction manual and learn to take advantage of
valuable features most phones offer, including automatic redial and memory.
Also, work to memorize the phone keypad so you can use the speed dial
function without taking your attention off the road.
2. When available, use a handsfree device. A number of handsfree wireless
phone accessories are readily available today. Whether you choose an
installed mounted device for your wireless phone or a speaker phone
accessory, take advantage of these devices if available to you.
3. Position your wireless phone within easy reach. Make sure you place your
wireless phone within easy reach and where you can reach it without removing
your eyes from the road. If you get an incoming call at an inconvenient time,
if possible, let your voicemail answer it for you.
4. Suspend conversations during hazardous driving conditions or situations.
Let the person you are speaking with know you are driving; if necessary,
suspend the call in heavy traffic or hazardous weather conditions. Rain, sleet,
snow and ice can be hazardous, but so is heavy traffic. As a driver, your first
responsibility is to pay attention to the road.
5. Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while driving. If you are reading
an address book or business card, or writing a “to-do” list while driving a car,
you are not watching where you are going. It is common sense. Don’t get
caught in a dangerous situation because you are reading or writing and not
paying attention to the road or nearby vehicles.
6. Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place calls when you are not
moving or before pulling into traffic. Try to plan your calls before you begin
your trip or attempt to coincide your calls with times you may be stopped
at a stop sign, red light or otherwise stationary. But if you need to dial while
driving, follow this simple tip — dial only a few numbers, check the road and
your mirrors, then continue.
7. Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that may be distracting.
Stressful or emotional conversations and driving do not mix; they are
distracting and even dangerous when you are behind the wheel of a car. Make
people you are talking with aware you are driving and if necessary, suspend
conversations which have the potential to divert your attention from the road.
8. Use your wireless phone to call for help. Your wireless phone is one of the
greatest tools you can own to protect yourself and your family in dangerous
situations — with your phone at your side, help is only three numbers away.
Dial 911 or other local emergency number in the case of fire, traffic accident,
road hazard or medical emergency. Remember, it is a free call on your
wireless phone!
9. Use your wireless phone to help others in emergencies. Your wireless
phone provides you a perfect opportunity to be a “Good Samaritan” in your
community. If you see an auto accident, crime in progress or other serious
emergency where lives are in danger, call 911 or other local emergency
number, as you would want others to do for you.

10. Call roadside assistance or a special wireless nonemergency assistance
number when necessary. Certain situations you encounter while driving may
require attention, but are not urgent enough to merit a call for emergency
services. But you can still use your wireless phone to lend a hand. If you see
a broken-down vehicle posing no serious hazard, a broken traffic signal, a
minor traffic accident where no one appears injured or a vehicle you know
to be stolen, call roadside assistance or other special non-emergency
wireless number.

Consumer Information on SAR (Specific Absorption
Rate)
This Model Phone Meets the Government’s Requirements for Exposure to
Radio Waves.
Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and
manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radiofrequency
(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. The standards
include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons,
regardless of age and health.
The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a unit of
measurement known as the Specific 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 specified by the FCC with the phone transmitting at its
highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands.
Although 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.
Because the phone is designed to operate at multiple power levels 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.
Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested
and certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the limit established by the
government adopted requirement for safe exposure. The tests are performed
in positions and locations (e.g., at the ear and worn on the body) as required by
the FCC for each model.
The highest SAR values are:
* Head: 1.13 W/kg
* Body (Body-worn/Hotspot): 1.06 W/kg
(Body measurements differ among phone models, depending upon available
accessories and FCC requirements).
While there may be differences between SAR levels of various phones and at
various positions, they all meet the government requirement for safe exposure.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model phone with
all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF emission
guidelines. SAR information on this model phone is on file with the FCC and
can be found under the Display Grant section of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid
after searching on FCC ID: ZNFH810.
Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on
the Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association (CTIA) website at http://

Safety Guidelines
* In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile phones used by the
public is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue. The standard
incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the
public and to account for any variations in measurements.
* Product meets current FCC & IC Radio Frequency Exposure Guidelines.

Precautions for use of leather back cover
• This product is made of cattle hide and may have different creases and
patterns due to the properties of natural leather. If the product gets wet with
any liquid (water, soda, seawater, rain, sweat, sunscreen, cosmetics, moisture,
etc.), it may lose colour, change colour, or deform in shape.
• When this product gets wet or contaminated, get rid of the water by pressing
it gently with a dry towel, or wipe it with leather cream and leave it to dry in
shade. When the product is exposed to a wet environment for a long time, it
may cause creases or mould. The shape of the leather may not be restored
to its original state after cleaning because of the properties of leather, and
any contamination or deformity may get worse when using regular detergent
or an organic solvent.
• When the leather is wet with rain or sweat, use caution and avoid contact with
clothes. It can cause any dye to become a stain.
• Due to the nature of leather, friction for long periods of time or excessive force
may damage the surface of the leather.
NOTE
• Some illustrations and the back cover type may differ from your device
depending on the region, service provider without prior notice.
