Privacy Information
Camera usage and photo/audio/video recordings carried out with the phone can offend the confidentiality

the only responsible subject in the case of eventual violations of the enforced norm.
Copyright Notice
The video/audio recordings you make/download are protected by copyright laws. They are for personal
use only and must not otherwise be used without the permission of the copyright owner.
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 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 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 power 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 this model phone as reported to the FCC when tested for use at the ear is
W/kg and when worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is 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 individual E821 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/ea/fccid after searching on
FCC ID:
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 that positions the handset a minimum of 1.5 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 1.5 cm from your body when the phone is switched on.
