This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a
Class B digital device pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off
and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or
more of the following measures:

when the phone is switched on.
About the Radio Frequency Exposure
This product is a low-power radio transmitter and receiver. When it is turned
on, it receives and also sends out radio frequency (RF) signals. Specific
Absorption Rate (SAR) is the unit of measurement for the amount of radio
frequency energy absorbed by the body.
The highest SAR values for this product (the limit is 1.6 W/kg) are as
follows:
When tested for use: 1.48 W/kg for GSM850, 0.772 W/kg for PCS1900,
0.016 W/kg for WLAN Head SAR.
When worn on the body: 1.52 W/kg for GSM850, 0.649 W/kg for
PCS1900, 0.01 W/kg for WLAN Body SAR.
To reduce the effects of the radio frequency energy on the human body, use
the phone feature with care. For example, make short calls as possible as you
can.
