FCC Part 15 Class B Compliance
This device and its accessories comply with part 15 of FCC rules. Operation is subject to the
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.
J
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)
electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC regulated transmitters. Those guidelines are consistent with the safety
standard previously set by U.S, Canada and international standards bodies. The design of this phone complies with
the FCC guidelines and these international standards.
J
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
comply 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.
J
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
vehicle-mounted external antenna to satisfy FCC RF exposure requirements. For more information about RF
exposure, visit the FCC website at www.fcc.gov.
J
Caution
Use only the supplied and approved antenna. Use of unauthorized antennas or modifications could impair call
quality, 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.
