Appendix 197

Modifications

The FCC requires the user to be notified that any changes or modifications made to the device that are not expressly approved by High Tech Computer Corp. may void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

Safety Precautions for RF Exposure

Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions specified 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 operation 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. Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the limit established by the government-adopted requirement for safe exposure. The tests are performed in positions and locations (for example, at the ear and worn on the body) as required by the FCC for each model. (Body-worn measurements may differ among phone models, depending upon available accessories and FCC requirements). For body-worn operation, to maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines, use only High Tech Computer Corp. approved accessories. When carrying the phone while it is on, use the specific High Tech Computer Corp. supplied or approved carrying case, holster, or other body-worn accessory.

Use of non High Tech Computer Corp. approved accessories may violate FCC RF exposure guidelines and should be avoided.
