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 action 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 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 1 cm. from the body.
To maintain compliance requirements, use only belt-clips, holsters or similar accessories that maintain a 1 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.
For more information about RF exposure, please visit the FCC website at http://www.fcc.gov
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 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 standards that were developed by independent scientific
organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific 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 Specific 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 certified power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified
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 certified to the FCC that it does not
exceed the limit established by the government adopted requirement for safe exposure. 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 phone when tested for use at the ear is 0.53 W/Kg and when worn on the body is 1.43
W/Kg. (Body-worn measurements differ among phone models, depending upon available accessories and FCC
requirements). 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 15 mm from the body. Use of other accessories may not ensure
compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines.
SAR information on this model phone is on file with the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section of
http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea after searching on JYCBLADE.
Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on the Cellular Telecommunications
Industry Association (CTIA) web-site at http://www.ctia.org.
* In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile phones used by the public is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg)
averaged over one gram of tissue. The standard incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give additional
protection for the public and to account for any variations in measurements.
