Section 18
98 Knowing Performance and Safety Guidelines
Acknowledging Special Precautions and the FCC Notice
FCC Notice
The phone may cause TV or radio interference if used in close proximity to receiving
equipment. The FCC can require you to stop using the phone if such interference
cannot be eliminated.
Vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane) must comply
with the National Fire Protection Standard (NFPA-58). For a copy of this standard,
contact the National Fire Protection Association, One Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA
02269, Attn: Publication Sales Division.
Cautions
Any changes or modifications to your phone not expressly approved in this document
could void your warranty for this equipment and void your authority to operate this
equipment. Only use approved batteries, antennas and chargers. The use of any
unauthorized accessories may be dangerous and voids the phone warranty if said
accessories cause damage or a defect to the phone.
Although your phone is quite sturdy, it is a complex piece of equipment and can be
broken. Avoid dropping, hitting, bending or sitting on it.
Body-Worn Operation
To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines, if you wear a handset on
your body, use the Sprint PCS supplied or approved carrying case, holster or other
body-worn accessory. If you do not use a body-worn accessory, ensure the antenna is
at 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 Phones
The SAR is a value that corresponds to the relative amount of RF energy absorbed in
the head of a user of a wireless handset.
The SAR value of a phone is the result of an extensive testing, measuring and
calculation process. It does not represent how much RF the phone emits. All phone
models are tested at their highest value in strict laboratory settings. But when in
operation, the SAR of a phone can be substantially less that the level reported to the
FCC. This is because of a variety of factors including its proximity to a base station
antenna, phone design and other factors. What is important to remember is that each
phone meets strict federal guidelines. Variations in SARs do not represent a variation
in safety.
All phones must meet the federal standard, which incorporates a substantial margin
of safety. As stated above, variations in SAR values between different model phones do
not mean variations in safety. SAR values at or below the federal standard of 1.6 W/kg
are considered safe for use by the public.
FCC Radio Frequency Emission
This phone meets the FCC Radio Frequency Emission Guidelines. FCC ID number:
A3LSPHN240. More information on the phone’s SAR can be found from the
