FCC Regulations:

This mobile phone complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

This mobile phone has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.  These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on,  the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user‘s authority to operate the equipment.

The antenna(s) used for this transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

RF Exposure Information (SAR)

This mobile phone meets the government’s requirements for exposure to radio waves.
This phone 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.

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 accepted 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.

The highest SAR value for the model phone as reported to the FCC when tested for use at the ear is 0.97 W/kg and when worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is 0.93 W/kg (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

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 www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid after searching on FCC ID: YHLBLUX12

For body-worn operation, this phone has been tested and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines for use with an accessory that contains no metal and positions the handset a minimum of 1.0 cm from the body. Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF
exposure guidelines. If you do not use a body-worn accessory and are not holding the phone at the ear, position the handset a minimum of  1.0 cm from your body when the phone is switched on.
