PORTABLE RADIO PRODUCT OPERATION AND EME EXPOSURE
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 1.6W/kg.
* Tests for SAR are
conducted using standard operating positions reviewed 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 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 is 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 and worn on the body)
as required by the FCC for each model. The highest SAR value for this model when tested for use
at the ear is 1.15 W/kg and when tested on the body, as described in this user guide, is 0.71 W/kg
during packet data transmission. (Body-worn measurements differ among phone models,
depending upon available accessories and FCC requirements.) While there may be differences
between the SAR levels of various phones and at various positions, they all meet the government
requirement for safe exposure.
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: AZ489FT5808.
Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on the Cellular
Telecommunications Industry Association (CTIA) web-site at http://www.wow-com.com.
______________________________________
*  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.

To avoid electromagnetic interference and/or compatibility conflicts, turn off 
your radio product in any facility where posted notices instruct you to do so. 
Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment that is sensitive to 
external RF energy.
Aircraft
When instructed to do so, turn off your radio product when on board an aircraft. 
Any use of a radio product must be in accordance with applicable regulations 
per airline crew instructions.
Medical Devices
Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum 
separation of 6 inches (15 cm) be maintained between a handheld wireless radio 
product and a pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with those of 
the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
Persons with pacemakers should:
 ALWAYS keep the radio product more than 6 inches (15 cm) from their 
pacemaker when the radio product is turned ON. 
 Not carry the radio product in a breast pocket. 
 Use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for 
interference. 
 Turn the radio product OFF immediately if you have any reason to suspect 
that interference is taking place. 
Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless radio products may interfere with some hearing aids. In 
the event of such interference, you may want to consult your hearing aid 
manufacturer to discuss alternatives.
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of your 
device to determine if it is adequately shielded from RF energy. Your physician 
may be able to assist you in obtaining this information.

as “Intrinsically Safe” (for example, Factory Mutual, CSA, or UL approved). Do not 
remove, install, or charge batteries in such areas. Sparks in a potentially explosive 
atmosphere can cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.
NOTE: The areas with potentially explosive atmospheres referred to above 
include fueling areas such as below decks on boats, fuel or chemical 
transfer or storage facilities, areas where the air contains chemicals or 
particles, such as grain, dust or metal powders, and any other area where 
you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine. Areas with 
potentially explosive atmospheres are often but not always posted.
Blasting Caps and Areas
To avoid possible interference with blasting operations, turn off your radio product 
when you are near electrical blasting caps, in a blasting area, or in areas posted: 
“Turn off two-way radio”. Obey all signs and instructions.

Cleaning and Drying Considerations
Using a leather carry case may help protect the surfaces and help prevent liquids 
(e.g., rain) from entering into the interior of the radio product. This product is 
not water proof, and exposing the unit to liquids may result in permanent 
damage to the unit.
If your radio product interior gets wet, then do not try to accelerate drying with 
the use of an oven or a dryer as this will damage the radio product and void the 
warranty. Instead, do the following:
1. Immediately power off the radio product.
2. Remove Battery and SIM card (if so equipped) from radio product.
3. Shake excess liquid from radio product.
4. Place the radio product and battery in an area that is at room temperature 
and has good air flow.
5. Let the radio product, battery dry, and SIM card for 72 hours before 
reconnecting the battery and/or powering on the radio product.
If the radio product does not work after following the steps listed above, contact 
your dealer for servicing information.
