harmful interference 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:
•Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
•Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
•Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
•Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
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.
Body-worn Operation
This device was tested for typical body-worn operations with the back of the phone kept 0.39inches (1cm)
between the user’s body and the back of the phone. To comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, a minimum
separation distance of 0.39 inches (1cm) must be maintained between the user’s body and the back of the
phone. Third-party belt-clips, holsters, and similar accessories containing metallic components may not be used.
Body-worn accessories that cannot maintain 0.39 inches (1cm) separation distance between the user’s body and
the back of the phone, and have not been tested for typical body-worn operations may not comply with FCC RF
exposure limits and should be avoided.
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 at www.fcc.gov.
Caution
Use only the supplied antenna. Use of unauthorized antennas (or modifications to the antenna) could impair call
quality, damage the phone, void your warranty and/or violate FCC regulations.
Don’t use the phone with a damaged antenna. A damaged antenna could cause a minor skin burn. Contact your
local dealer for a replacement antenna.
Consumer Information About Radio Frequency Emissions
Your wireless phone, which contains a radio transmitter and receiver, emits radio frequency energy during use.
The following consumer information addresses commonly asked questions about the health effects of wireless
phones.
Are wireless phones safe?
Scientific research on the subject of wireless phones and radio frequency (“RF”) energy has been conducted
worldwide for many years, and continues. In the United States, the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) and the
Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) set policies and procedures for wireless phones. The FDA issued
a website publication on health issues related to cell phone usage where it states, “The scientific community
at large … believes that the weight of scientific evidence does not show an association between exposure
to radiofrequency (RF) from cell phones and adverse health outcomes. Still the scientific community does
recommend conducting additional research to address gaps in knowledge. That research is being conducted
around the world and FDA continues to monitor developments in this field. You can access the joint FDA/FCC
website at http://www.fda.gov (under “C” in the subject index, select Cell Phones > Research). You can also
contact the FDA toll-free at [phone] or (888) INFO-FDA. In June 2000, the FDA entered into a cooperative
research and development agreement through which additional scientific research is being conducted. The FCC
issued its own website publication stating that “there is no scientific evidence that proves that wireless phone
usage can lead to cancer or a variety of other problems, including headaches, dizziness or memory loss.”

What does “SAR” mean?
In 1996, the FCC, working with the FDA, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and other agencies,
established RF exposure safety guidelines for wireless phones in the United States. Before a wireless phone
model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested by the manufacturer and certified to the FCC that it does
