FCC RF EXPOSURE INFORMATION
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 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.
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 FCC 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. Please contact your local dealer for
replacement 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 maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure
requirements, use only belt-clips, holsters or similar accessories that maintain a 1.5
cm. separation distance between the user’s body and the back of the phone, including
the antenna, whether extended or retracted. The use of third-party belt-clips, holsters
and similar accessories should not contain 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.
WARNING! Read this information before using your phone
