following two conditions: (1) This device and its accessories may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device

and its accessories must accept any interference received, including interference that causes undesired operation.

Industry Canada Compliance

This phone complies with Industry Canada RSS 133. This phone complies with the Class B limits for radio noise

emissions as set out in the interference causing standard entitled "Digital Apparatus" (ICES-003) of Industry

Canada.

FCC RF Exposure Information

WARNING! Read this information before operating the phone.

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 (RF) electromag-

netic energy emitted by FCC regulated transmitters. Those guidelines are consistent with the safety standard previ-

ously set by U.S, Canada and international standards bodies. The design of this phone complies with the FCC

guidelines and these international standards.

Bodily Contact During Operation

This device was tested for typical use with the back of the phone kept 0.6 inches (1.5 cm) from the body. To com-

ply with FCC RF exposure requirements, a minimum separation distance of 0.6 inches (1.5 cm) must be maintained

between the user's body and the back of the phone, including the antenna, whether extended or retracted. Third-

party belt-clips, holsters and similar accessories containing metallic components should not be used. Avoid the use

of accessories that cannot maintain 0.6 inches (1.5 cm) distance between the user's body and the back of the

phone and have not been tested for compliance with FCC RF exposure limits.

Vehicle-Mounted External Antenna

(Optional, if available.)

A minimum separation distance of 8 inches (20 cm) must be maintained between the user / bystander and the vehi-

cle-mounted external antenna to satisfy FCC RF exposure requirements. For more information about RF exposure,

visit the FCC website at www.fcc.gov.

Caution

Use only the supplied and approved antenna. Use of unauthorized antennas or modifications could impair call quali-

ty, damage the phone, void your warranty and/or result in violation of FCC regulations.

Do not use the phone with a damaged antenna. If a damaged antenna comes in contact with the skin a minor burn

may result. Contact your local dealer for a replacement antenna.
