Tests for each model phone are performed in positions and locations (e.g. atthe ear and worn on the body) as required by the FCC. For body worn operation, thisphone has been tested and meets FCC RF exposure guidelines when used with anaccessory that contains no metal and that positions the handset a minimum of 1.5cm from the body.
