Section 5A: Regulatory and Safety Information 303
Specifications
In order to comply with FCC and IC RF exposure safety guidelines, users MUST use one of
the following types of body worn accessories:
1. Palm
®
brand body-worn accessory that has been tested for (specific absorption rate)
SAR compliance and is intended for use with this product.
2. An accessory that contains NO metal (snaps, clips, etc.) and provides AT LEAST 1.5 cm
(0.6 in.) of separation between the user's body and the unit.
Do NOT use the device in a manner such that it is in direct contact with the body (i.e. on the
lap or in a breast pocket). Such use will likely exceed the FCC RF safety exposure limits. See
www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety
for more information on RF exposure safety.

Body worn operation: Important safety information regarding radio frequency (RF) radiation
exposure: To ensure compliance with RF exposure guidelines the phone must be used with a
minimum of 1.5 cm (0.6 in.) separation from the body. Failure to observe these instructions
could result in your RF exposure exceeding the relevant guideline limits.
Limiting exposure to radio frequency (RF) fields: For individuals concerned about limiting their
exposure to RF fields, the World Health Organization (WHO) provides the following advice:
Precautionary measures: Present scientific information does not indicate the need for any
special precautions for the use of mobile phones. If individuals are concerned, they might
choose to limit their own or their children's RF exposure by limiting the length of calls, or
using 'hands-free' devices to keep mobile phones away from the head and body.
