Important Health Information and Safety Precautions
NON-IONIZING RADIATION
Your device has an internal antenna. This product should be operated in its
normal-use position to ensure the radiative performance and safety from
interference. As with other mobile radio transmitting equipment, users are
advised that for satisfactory operation of the equipment and for personal
safety, it is recommended that no part of the human body be allowed to come
too close to the antenna during operation of the equipment.
Use only the supplied integral antenna. Use of unauthorized or modified
antennas may impair call quality and damage the phone, causing loss of
performance and SAR levels exceeding the recommended limits as well as result
in non-compliance with local regulatory requirements in your country.
To assure optimal phone performance and ensure human exposure to RF
energy is within the guidelines set forth in the relevant standards, always use
your device onlyin its normal-use position. Contact with the antenna area may
impair call quality and cause your device to operate at a higher power level
than needed. Avoiding contact with the antenna area when the phone is IN
USE optimizes the antenna performance and the battery life.

CDMA technology usesafeature
called DSSS (Direct Sequence
Spread Spectrum) that enables the
phone to keep communication
from being crossed and to use one
frequency channel by multiple
usersin the same specific area.
This results in a 10-fold capacity
increase when compared with
analog mode. In addition, features

Technical Details
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.
Bodily Contact During Operation
This device was tested for typical
use with the back of the phone
kept 0.79 inches (2.0 cm) from
the body. To comply with FCC RF
exposure requirements, a minimum
separation distance of 0.79 inches
(2.0 cm) must be maintained
between the user’sbodyand the
back of the phone, including the
antenna. Third-party belt-clips,
holsters, and similar accessories
containing metallic components
should not be used. Avoid the use
of accessories that cannot maintain
0.79 inches (2.0 cm) distance
between the user’s body and the
back of the phone and have not
been tested for compliance with
FCC RF exposure limits.
Vehicle-Mounted External Antenna
(Optional, if available.)
To satisfy FCC RF exposure
requirements, keep 8 inches (20
cm) between the user / bystander
and vehicle-mounted external
antenna. For more information
about RF exposure, visit the FCC
website atwww.fcc.gov.
