Appendix 1. RF Exposure Statement
WARNING! Read this information before operating the phone.
In August 1996, the Federal Communications (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 of antenna.
Body Worn Operation
This device was tested for typical body-worn operations with the back of the phone kept 1.5
cm from the body. To comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, a minimum separation
distance of 1.5 cm must be maintained between the user’s body and the back of the phone,
including the antenna, whether extended or retracted. The use of belt-clips, holsters, and
similar accessories should not containing metallic components in its assembly. The use of
accessories that do not satisfy these requirements may not comply with FCC RF exposure
requirements, and should be avoided.

Appendix 2. 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 radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal
Communications Commission 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 value for this model phone when tested for use at the ear is 0.963 W/kg and
when worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is 0.653 W/kg (body-worn 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/fccid after searching on FCC ID UE2MD120.
