Radio Frequency (RF) Signals

THIS MODEL PHONE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT’S
REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.

Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is
designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits
for exposure to radiofrequency (RF) energy set by the Federal
Communications Commission of the U.S. Government.
These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish
permitted levels of RF energy for the general population.
The guidelines are based on standards that were developed
by independent scientific organizations through periodic and
thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The standards include
a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all
persons, regardless of age and health.

The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a
unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or
SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg.* Tests for SAR
are conducted using standard operating positions accepted by
the FCC with the phone transmitting at its highest certified power
level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is deter-
mined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of
the phone while operating 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
(e.g., at the ear) as required by the FCC for each model. The
highest SAR value for this model phone when tested for use at
the ear is 1.49 W/kg. While there may be differences between
the SAR levels of various phones and at various positions, they
all meet the government requirement.

The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model
phone with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance
with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR information on this
model phone is on file with the FCC and can be found under the
Display Grant section of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after
searching on FCC ID LJONSW-3AF.
_____________________________________________________

*In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile phones
used by the public is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over one
gram of tissue. The standard incorporates a substantial margin
of safety to give additional protection for the public and to
account for any variations in measurements.

Care and Maintenance

Your phone is a product of superior design and craftsmanship
and should be treated with care. The suggestions below will
help you to fulfill any warranty obligations and allow you to enjoy
this product for many years. When using your phone, battery,
charger, OR any accessory:

Keep it and all its parts and accessories out of small
children’s reach.

Keep it dry. Precipitation, humidity and liquids contain
minerals that will corrode electronic circuits.

Do not use or store it in dusty, dirty areas as its moving
parts can be damaged.

Do not store it in hot areas. High temperatures can shorten
the life of electronic devices, damage batteries, and warp
or melt certain plastics.

Do not store it in cold areas. When the phone warms up
(to its normal operating temperature), moisture can form
inside the phone, which may damage the phone's
electronic circuit boards.

Do not attempt to open it. Non-expert handling of the
device may damage it.

Do not drop, knock or shake it. Rough handling can break
internal circuit boards.

Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong
detergents to clean it. Wipe it with a soft cloth slightly
dampened in a mild soap-and-water solution.

Do not paint it. Paint can clog the device’s moving parts
and prevent proper operation.

Use only the supplied or an approved replacement
antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications or
attachments could damage the phone and may violate
regulations governing radio devices.

If the phone, battery, charger, or any accessory is not
working properly, take it to your nearest qualified service
facility. The personnel there will assist you, and if
necessary, arrange for service.
