FCC RF Exposure Information  
WARNING! Read this information before operating the phone.  
In August 1996, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the  
United States, with its action in Report and Order FCC 96-326, adopted  
an updated safety standard for human exposure to Radio Frequency (RF)  
electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC regulated transmitters. Those  
guidelines are consistent with the safety standard previously set by both U.S.  
and international standards bodies. The design of this phone complies with  
the FCC guidelines and those international standards.  
Bodily Contact During Operation  
This device was tested for typical use with the back of the phone kept  
0.79 inches (2.0 cm) from the body. To comply with FCC RF exposure  
requirements, a minimum separation distance of 0.79 inches (2.0 cm)  
must be maintained between the user’s body and the back of the  
phone, including the antenna. Third-party belt-clips, holsters, and similar  
accessories containing metallic components should not be used. Avoid  
the use of accessories that cannot maintain 0.79 inches (2.0 cm) distance  
between the user’s body and the back of the phone and have not been  
tested for compliance with FCC RF exposure limits.  
Vehicle-Mounted External Antenna  
(Optional, if available.)  
To satisfy FCC RF exposure requirements, keep 8 inches (20 cm) between  
the user / bystander and vehicle-mounted external antenna. For more  
information about RF exposure, visit the FCC website at www.fcc.gov.

Editing Contact Details  
You can change or add details saved in your contact entries. You can also  
set specific ringtones to specific contacts or determine whether calls from  
specific contacts are diverted to your voicemail.

information that you added manually, information that Contacts joined from  
multiple accounts to consolidate duplicates, etc.  
If you find duplicate entries in Contacts, you can join them into a single entry.  
Changes made to information from one source do not automatically change  
the information on the other sources. For example, if you have information  
about a contact from a Google Account and an Exchange account and both  
are configured to sync contacts, changes to the contact from the Google  
Account are synced to that account on the web, but the information from  
the Exchange account will remain unchanged.
