OTHER SAFETY GUIDELINES
AIRCRAFT
FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while in the air. Turn your phone OFF before boarding
an aircraft. Always request and obtain prior consent and approval of an authorized airline repre-
sentative before using your phone aboard an aircraft.
Always follow the instructions of the airline representative whenever using your phone aboard an
aircraft, to prevent any possible interference with airborne electronic equipment.
BLASTING AREAS
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your phone OFF when in a “blasting area” or in
areas posted: “Turn off two-way radio.” Obey all signs and instructions.
POTENTIALLY EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES
Turn your phone OFF when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere and obey all signs
and instructions. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or re resulting in bodily injury or
even death.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always, clearly marked. They
include fueling areas such as gas stations; below deck on boats; fuel or chemical transfer or storage
facilities; vehicles using liqueed petroleum gas (such as propane or butane); areas where the air
contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders; and any other area where
you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle’s engine.
PRECAUTIONS
Your Handheld Portable Telephone is a high quality piece of equipment. Before operating, read all
instructions and cautionary markings on (1) USB AC Adapter (2) Battery and (3) Product Using
Battery.
Failure to follow the directions below could result in serious bodily injury and/or property damage

SAFETY INFORMATION FOR FCC RF EXPOSURE
WARNING! READ THIS INFORMATION BEFORE USING
CAUTIONS
In August 1996 the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the United States with its ac-
tion in Report and Order FCC 96-326 adopted an updated safety standard for human exposure to
radio frequency electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC regulated transmitters. Those guidelines
are consistent with the safety standard previously set by both U.S. and international standards bod-
ies. 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 2 cm.
from the body. To maintain compliance requirements, use only belt-clips, holsters or similar ac-
cessories that maintain a 2 cm separation distance between the user’s Body and the back of the
phone, including the antenna.
The use of belt-clips, holsters and similar accessories should not contain metallic components in its
assembly. The use of accessories that do not satisfy these requirements may not comply with FCC
RF exposure requirements, and should be avoided.

SAR INFORMATION
THIS MODEL PHONE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT’S
REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.
Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to
exceed the emission limits for exposure to radiofrequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Commu-
nications 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 standards that were developed by independent scientic organizations through periodic and
thorough evaluation of scientic studies. 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 phones employs a unit of measurement known as the
Specic Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg. * Tests for SAR are
conducted with the phone transmitting at its highest certied power level in all tested frequency
bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certied 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.
Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and certied to the FCC
that it does not exceed the limit established by the government adopted requirement for safe ex-
posure. The tests are performed in positions and locations (e.g., at the ear and worn on the body)
as required by the FCC for each model. The highest SAR value for this model cellphone when
tested is 0.787 W/Kg for use at the ear and 0.871 W/Kg for use close to the body. While there
may be differences between the SAR levels of various cellphones and at various positions, they
all meet the government requirement for RF exposure. For body-worn operation, the cellphone
meets FCC RF exposure guidelines provided that it is used with a non-metallic accessory with the
handset at least 1.5 cm from the body. Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with
FCC RF exposure guidelines. While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various
phones and at various positions, they all meet the government requirement for safe exposure.
FCC ID: RAD 155
The SAR testing for Body-worn operation was performed with a belt clip that provided a 2 cm
separation. The User’s Manual indicates that any holsters/clips used with this device should contain
no metallic components.
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.
