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 (e.g., at the ear and worn on the body) as required by 
the FCC for each model.
Body-worn measurements differ among phone models, 
depending upon availability of 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 for safe exposure.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model 
phone with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance 
with the FCC RF emission guidelines. 
The highest reported SAR values of this phone are:
PCS mode (Part 24):
Head: 1.52 W/kg;  Body-worn: 1.04 W/kg
SAR information on this model phone is on file with the FCC and 
can be found under the Display Grant section 
www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid after searching on the FCC ID: 
OVF-K5501.
Additional information on SAR can be found on the Cellular 
Telecommunications and Internet Association (CTIA) web-site at 
www.ctia.org.
* In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile 
phones used by the public is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over 
one gram of tissue.

performance and life of your phone and battery.
Air Bags
If you have an air bag, DO NOT place installed or portable 
phone equipment or other objects over the air bag or in the air 
bag deployment area. If equipment is not properly installed, you 
and your passengers risk serious injury.
Medical Devices
Pacemakers—Warning to pacemaker wearers: Wireless 
phones, when in the ‘on’ position, have been shown to interfere 
with pacemakers. The phone should be kept at least six (6) 
inches away from the pacemaker to reduce risk.
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association and the wireless 
technology research community recommend that you follow 
these guidelines to minimize the potential for interference.
Always keep the phone at least six inches (15 centimeters) 
away from your pacemaker when the phone is turned on.
Do not carry your phone near your heart.
Use the ear opposite the pacemaker.
If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking 
place, turn off your phone immediately.
Hearing aids—Some digital wireless phones may interfere with 
hearing aids. In the event of such interference, you may want to 
call the customer service line to discuss alternatives.
Other medical devices—If you use any other personal medical 
device, consult the manufacturer of the device to determine if it 
is adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your physician 
may be able to help you obtain this information.
