Section 20136 Knowing Performance and Safety GuidelinesAcknowledging Special Precautions and the FCC NoticeFCC NoticeThe phone may cause TV or radio interference if used in close proximity to receivingequipment. The FCC can require you to stop using the phone if such interferencecannot be eliminated.Vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane) must complywith the National Fire Protection Standard (NFPA-58). For a copy of this standard,contact the National Fire Protection Association, One Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA02269, Attn: Publication Sales Division.CautionsAny changes or modifications to your phone not expressly approved in this documentcould void your warranty for this equipment and void your authority to operate thisequipment. Only use approved batteries, antennas and chargers. The use of anyunauthorized accessories may be dangerous and voids the phone warranty if saidaccessories cause damage or a defect to the phone.Although your phone is quite sturdy, it is a complex piece of equipment and can bebroken. Avoid dropping, hitting, bending or sitting on it.Body-Worn OperationTo maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines, if you wear a handset onyour body, use the Sprint PCS supplied or approved carrying case, holster or otherbody-worn accessory. If you do not use a body-worn accessory, ensure the antenna isat least one inch (2.5 centimeters) from your body when transmitting. Use of non-Sprint PCS approved accessories may violate FCC RF exposure guidelines.For more information about RF exposure, please visit the FCC website at www.fcc.gov.Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) for Wireless PhonesThe SAR is a value that corresponds to the relative amount of RF energy absorbed inthe head of a user of a wireless handset.The SAR value of a phone is the result of an extensive testing, measuring andcalculation process. It does not represent how much RF the phone emits. All phonemodels are tested at their highest value in strict laboratory settings. But when inoperation, the SAR of a phone can be substantially less that the level reported to theFCC. This is because of a variety of factors including its proximity to a base stationantenna, phone design and other factors. What is important to remember is that eachphone meets strict federal guidelines. Variations in SARs do not represent a variationin safety.All phones must meet the federal standard, which incorporates a substantial marginof safety. As stated above, variations in SAR values between different model phones donot mean variations in safety. SAR values at or below the federal standard of 1.6 W/kgare considered safe for use by the public.FCC Radio Frequency EmissionThis phone meets the FCC Radio Frequency Emission Guidelines. FCC ID number:A3LSPHA400. More information on the phone’s SAR can be found from thefollowing FCC website: http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid
