Interference
General Statement on Interface
Care must be taken when using the phone in close
proximity to personal medical devices, such as pacemakers
and hearing aids.
Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum
separation of 15 cm be maintained between a mobile phone
and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the
pacemaker. To achieve this, use the phone on the opposite
ear to your pacemaker and do not carry it in a breast pocket.

15
Hearing Aids
People with hearing aids or other cochlear implants may
experience interfering noises when using wireless devices or
when one is nearby.
The level of interference will depend on the type of hearing
device and the distance from the interference source,
increasing the separation between them may reduce the
interference. You may also consult your hearing aid
manufacturer to discuss alternatives.
Hearing Protection
When listening to music,adjust the volume to a moderate
level.
Continuous expo sure to high volume may impair your
hearing.
Medical Devices
Please consult your doctor and the device manufacturer
to determine if operation of your phone may interfere with
the operation of your medical device.
Hospitals
Switch off your wireless device when requested to do so in
hospitals, clinics or health care facilities. These requests are
designed to prevent possible interference with sensitive
medical equipment.

16
Aircraft
Switch off your wireless device whenever you are instructed
to do so by airport or airline staff.
Consult the airline staff about the use of wireless devices on
board the aircraft. If your device offers a ‗flight mode‘, this
must be enabled prior to boarding an aircraft.
Interference in Cars
Please note that because of possible interference to
electronic equipment, some vehicle manufacturers forbid
the use of mobile phones in their vehicles unless a
hands-free kit with an external antenna is included in the
installation.
Explosive Environments
Petrol Stations and Explosive Atmospheres
In locations with potentially explosive atmospheres, obey all
posted signs to turn off wireless devices such as your phone
or other radio equipment.
Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres include fuelling
areas, below decks on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or
storage facilities, areas where the air contains chemicals or
particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders.

17
Blasting Caps and Areas
Power off your mobile phone or wireless device when in a
blasting area or in areas posted power off ―two-way radios‖
or ―electronic devices‖ to avoid interfering with blasting
operations.
FCC Compliance
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the condition that this device does not
cause harmful interference.
Caution: Changes or modifications not expressly approved
by the manufacturer could void the user‘s authority to
operate the equipment.
Note: 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

18
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more
of the following measures:
—Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
—Increase the separation between the equipment and
receiver.

tion is subject to the following two conditions:
This device may not cause harmful interference.
This device must accept any interference received, includ
ing interference that may cause undesired operation.
Health and safety information
Radio Frequency (RF) Energy
This model phone meets the government‘s requirements for
exposure to radio waves.
This phone 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:
The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs

19
a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption
Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg.
Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating
positions accepted by the FCC with the phone transmitting at
its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands.
Although the 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. This is
because the phone is designed to operate at multiple power
levels so as to use only the poser required to reach the
network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base
station antenna, the lower the power output.
The highest SAR value for the model phone as reported to
the FCC when tested for use at the ear is 0.927 W/kg and
when worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is
1.472 W/kg (Body-worn measurements differ among phone
models, depending upon available enhancements and FCC
requirements).
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of
various phones and at various positions, they all meet the
government requirement.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this
model phone with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in
compliance with the FCC RF exposure 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

20
FCC ID: VQRCTW3500
For body worn operation, this phone has been tested and
meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines for use with an
accessory that contains no metal and the positions the
handset a minimum of 1 cm from the body. Use of other
enhancements may not ensure compliance with FCC RF
exposure guidelines. If you do not use a body-worn
accessory and are not holding the phone at the ear, position
the handset a minimum of 1 cm from your body when the
phone is switched on.
