Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines. The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this mobile phone with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. The maximum SAR values for this model phone as reported to the FCC are: • Head: 0.872 W/Kg W/Kg. • Body-worn: 0.683 W/Kg. SAR information on this and other model phones can be viewed online at http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea.
