13.2 SAFETY INFORMATION FOR FCC RF
EXPOSURE
WARNING: Read this information before using.
13.2.1 CAUTIONS
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
electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC regulated transmitters. Those
guidelines are consistent with the safety standard previously set by both
U.S. and international standards bodies. The design of this phone
complies with the FCC guidelines and these international standards. Use
only the supplied or an approved antenna. Unauthorized antennas,
modifications, or attachments could impair call quality, damage the phone,
or result in violation of FCC regulations. Do not use the phone with a
damaged antenna. If a damaged antenna comes into contact with the skin,
a minor burn may result. Please contact your local dealer for replacement
antenna.
13.2.2 BODY-WORN OPERATION
This device was tested for typical body-worn operations with the back of
the phone kept 2.0 cm. from the body. To maintain compliance with FCC
RF exposure requirements, use only belt-clips, holsters or similar
accessories that maintain a 2.0 cm. separation distance between the
user’s body and the back of the phone, including the antenna. The use of
belt-clips, holsters and similar accessories should not contain metallic
components in its assembly. The use of accessories that do not satisfy
these requirements may not comply with FCC RF exposure requirements,
and should be avoided.
