HTC AM171 - Manual (Page 6)


To assure optimal phone performance and ensure human exposure to RF energy is within the guidelines
set forth in the relevant standards, always use your device only in its normal-use position. Contact with the
antenna area may impair call quality and cause your device to operate at a higher power level than needed.
Avoiding contact with the antenna area when the phone is IN USE optimizes the antenna performance and
the battery life.
