Radio Frequency (RF) Energy
Understanding How Your Phone Operates
Your phone is basically a radio transmitter and
receiver. When it’s turned on, it receives and
transmits radio frequency (RF) signals. When you
use your phone, the system handling your call
controls the power level.This power can range
from 0.006 watt to 0.2 watt indigital mode.
Knowing Radio Frequency Safety
The design of your phone complies with updated
NCRP standards described below.
In 1991–92, the Institute of Electrical and
Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and the American
National Standards Institute (ANSI) joined
in updating ANSI’s 1982 standard for safety
levels with respect to human exposure to RF
signals. More than 120 scientists, engineers and
physicians from universities, government health
agencies and industries developed this updated
standard after reviewing the available body of
research. In 1993, the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) adopted this updated
standard in a regulation. In August 1996, the
FCC adopted hybrid standard consisting of the
existing ANSI/IEEE standard and the guidelines
published by the National Council of Radiation
Protection and Measurements (NCRP).
Body-Worn Operation
To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure
guidelines, if you wear a handset on your body,
use a Boost-supplied or Boost-approved carrying
case, holster or other body-worn accessory. If
you do not use a body-worn accessory, ensure
the antenna is at least 7/16 inch (1.5 centimeters)
from your body when transmitting. Use of non-
approved accessories may violate FCC RF
exposure guidelines.

FCC website at fcc.gov.
+ Never dispose of the battery by incineration.
+ Don’t attempt to disassemble or short-circuit
the battery.
+ The battery may need recharging if it has not
been used for a long period of time.
Disposal of Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) Batteries
Do not handle a damaged or leaking Li-Ion
battery as you can be burned.
For safe disposal options of your Li-Ion batteries,
contact your nearest authorized service center.
Special Note: Be sure to dispose of your battery
properly. In some areas, the disposal of batteries
in household or business trash may be prohibited.
+ a) Do not disassemble or open crush, bend or
deform, puncture or shred
+ b) Do not modify or remanufacture, attempt to
insert foreign objects into the battery, immerse
or expose to water or other liquids, expose to
fire, explosion or other hazard.
+ c) Only use the battery with a charging system
that has been qualified with the system per CTIA
Certification Requirements for Battery System
Compliance to IEEE 1725. Use of an unqualified
battery or charger may present a risk of fire,
explosion, leakage, or other hazard.
+ d) Promptly dispose of used batteries in
accordance with local regulations
+ e) Avoid dropping the phone or battery. If the
phone or battery is dropped, especially on a
hard surface, and the user suspects damage,
take it to a service center for inspection.
+ f) Improper battery use may result in a fire,
explosion or other hazard.
The phone shall only be connected to CTIA
certified adapters, products that bear the USB-IF
logo or products that have completed the USB-IF
compliance program.
