HTC 8500 - Manual (Page 197)

Appendix 197
Modifications
The FCC requires the user to be notified that any changes or
modifications made to the device that are not expressly approved by
High Tech Computer Corp. may void the user’s authority to operate the
equipment.
Safety Precautions for RF Exposure
Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions
specified by the FCC 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 operation 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
(for example, at the ear and worn on the body) as required by the
FCC for each model. (Body-worn measurements may differ among
phone models, depending upon available accessories and FCC
requirements). For body-worn operation, to maintain compliance with
FCC RF exposure guidelines, use only High Tech Computer Corp.
approved accessories. When carrying the phone while it is on, use the
specific High Tech Computer Corp. supplied or approved carrying case,
holster, or other body-worn accessory.
Use of non High Tech Computer Corp. approved accessories may
violate FCC RF exposure guidelines and should be avoided.
