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.

To comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, a minimum separation distance of 0.78 inches (2.0cm) must be maintained between the user's body and the phone, including the antenna. The use of third-party belt-clips/ holsters with no metallic components that provide the minimum separation distance of 0.78 inches (2.0cm) can be used to satisfy FCC RF exposure requirements. The use of non-tested accessories or other bodyworn operations may not comply with FCC RF exposure requirements and should be avoided. Contact your local dealer for optional accessory items.
