Appendix 151
Your wireless mobile CDMA phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It 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. These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish
permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines are based on the safety standards
previously set by both U.S. and international standards bodies:
American National Standards Institute (ANSI) IEEE. C95.1-1992.
National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurement (NCRP). Report 86. 1986.
International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) 1996.
Ministry of Health (Canada), Safety Code 6. The standards include a substantial safety margin designed
to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The exposure standard for wireless mobile CDMA phone 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*.
This phone has been tested and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines when used with an accessory that
contains no metal and that positions the handset a minimum of 1.5 cm from the body. The FCC has granted
an Equipment Authorization for this model device with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance
with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR information on this model device is on file with the FCC and can be
found under the Display Grant section of
https://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/oetcf/eas/reports/GenericSearch.cfm after
searching on FCC ID: NM8RAPH500. Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found
on the Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA) Web-site as http://www.phonefacts.net.
Normal condition only to ensure the radiative performance and safety of the interference. As with other
mobile radio transmitting equipment, users are advised that for satisfactory operation of the equipment and
for the safety of personnel, 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 of non-HTC Corporation approved accessories may
violate FCC RF exposure guidelines and should be avoided.
Telecommunications & Internet Association (TIA) Safety Information
Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum separation of six inches be
maintained between a handheld wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the
pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with the independent research by and recommendations
of Wireless Technology Research. Persons with pacemakers:
Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than six inches from their pacemaker when the phone is turned
ON.
Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket.
Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for interference. If you have any
reason to suspect that interference is taking place, turn the phone OFF immediately.
Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of such interference, you may
want to consult your service provider, or call the customer service line to discuss alternatives.
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of your device to determine if they
are adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this
information.
Turn the phone OFF in health care facilities when any regulations posted in these areas instruct you to do so.
Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment that could be sensitive to external RF energy.
