RF Energy Interference/Compatibility
Nearly every electronic device is subject to RF energy interference from external sources if inadequately shielded, designed, or otherwise configured for RF
energy compatibility. In some circumstances, your mobile device may cause interference with other devices.

Follow Instructions to Avoid Interference Problems

Turn off your mobile device in any location where posted notices instruct you to do so.
In an aircraft, turn off your mobile device whenever instructed to do so by airline staff. If your mobile device offers an airplane mode or similar feature, consult
airline staff about using it in flight.

Implantable Medical Devices

If you have an implantable medical device, such as a pacemaker or defibrillator, consult your physician before using this mobile device.
Persons with implantable medical devices should observe the following precautions:
• ALWAYS keep the mobile device more than 20 centimeters (8 inches) from the implantable medical device when the mobile device is turned ON.
• DO NOT carry the mobile device in the breast pocket.
• Use the ear opposite the implantable medical device to minimize the potential for interference.
• Turn OFF the mobile device immediately if you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place.
Read and follow the directions from the manufacturer of your implantable medical device. If you have any questions about using your mobile device with your
implantable medical device, consult your healthcare provider.
Specific Absorption Rate (IEEE)
SAR (IEEE)
Your model wireless phone meets the governmental requirements for exposure to radio waves.
Your mobile device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured to not exceed limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by
the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the U.S. Government and by the Canadian regulatory authorities. 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 for the safety
of all persons, regardless of age or health, and to account for any variations in measurements.
The exposure standard for mobile devices employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR). The IEEE SAR limit set by the FCC and
by the Canadian regulatory authorities is 1.6 watts per kilogram (W/kg), averaged over one gram of tissue. Tests for SAR are conducted using procedures
accepted by the FCC and by Industry Canada with the mobile device transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequencies. Although the SAR
is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the mobile device while operating can be below the maximum value. This is because
the mobile device 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, the lower the power output.
Before a mobile device is available for sale to the public in the U.S. and Canada, it must be tested and certified to the FCC and Industry Canada that it does not
exceed the limit established by each government for safe exposure. The tests are performed in positions and locations (e.g., at the ear and worn on the body)
submitted to the FCC and available for review by Industry Canada. The highest SAR value for this mobile device when tested for use at the ear is 1.09 W/kg, and
when worn on the body, as described in this guide, is 1.19 W/kg. Body-worn measurements can differ, depending upon available accessories and regulatory
requirements. The SAR information includes the Motorola testing protocol, assessment procedure, and measurement uncertainty range for this product.
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various mobile devices and at various positions, they meet the governmental requirements for safe
exposure. Please note that improvements to this product model could cause differences in the SAR value for later products; in all cases, products are designed
to be within the guidelines.
