Technical Details
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
0.39 inches (1.0 cm) from the body. To comply with FCC RF exposure
requirements, a minimum separation distance of 0.39 inches (1.0 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 0.39 inches (1.0 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.

Technical Details
FCC Notice and Cautions
This device and its accessories comply with part 15 of FCC rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device and its
accessories may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device and its
accessories must accept any interference received, including interference
that causes undesired operation.
Any changes or modifications not expressly approved in this user guide
could void your warranty for this equipment. Use only the supplied antenna.
Use of unauthorized antennas (or modifications to the antenna) could
impair call quality, damage the phone, void your warranty and/or violate FCC
regulations.
Don’t use the phone with a damaged antenna. A damaged antenna could
cause a minor skin burn. Contact your local dealer for a replacement
antenna.
Part 15.19 statement
This device complies with part15 of FCC rules. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference.
(2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference
that may cause undesired operation.
Part 15.21 statement
Changes or modifications that are not expressly approved by the
manufacturer could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
Part 15.105 statement
This equipment 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 you experience interference with reception
7
Technical Details
(e.g., television), determine if this equipment is causing the harmful
interference by turning the equipment off and then back on to see if the
interference is affected. If necessary, try correcting 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.
The phone operates on Verizon’s 4G network, based on Long Term
Evolution (LTE) technology and Mobile Broadband 4G networks in the
United States*.
Now you can connect easily at high speeds to the Internet, your corporate
Intranet, and your email while you’re away from the office.

Cautions
㻌
The user interface of Google applications (Google Search, Google
Maps, Navigation, etc.) can vary depending on its software version.
㻌
Locations are inaccurate when GPS and Wi-Fi are not set.
㻌

applications only operate correctly with phones that have a specific
screen resolution.
Please be advised that some of the applications on the Play Store may
not be available for your phone due to LCD resolution requirement
that does not match your phone. In addition, please be aware that 3rd
party applications with programming defects may cause issues with
your phone, including lock ups and resets.

together to charge your phone. To charge your phone:
NOTICE
Please use only an approved charging accessory to charge your phone.

on the USB Cable should face toward you.
USB Cable
Adapter
2. The USB/Charger Port, located at the top of the device, has a slide cover
to protect it. Slide the cover open, then correctly orient the cable with the
port and plug it into the port.
USB Cable
3. Plug it into an electrical outlet to begin charging.
Charging with the USB Cable and your computer
You can use your computer to charge your phone. To be able to charge with
the USB Cable, you need to have the necessary USB drivers installed on
your PC first. Connect one end of the USB Cable to the USB/Charger Port on
your phone (as shown above) and connect the other end to a USB port on
your PC. It is best to use the rear USB port when connecting to a desktop
PC. The USB hub should be powered by an external power source.
NOTE
If there is not enough charge in the battery to turn on the phone, the LED lights at the
bottom of the keypad flash to indicate that the battery is charging. Once the battery has
enough charge to turn the phone on, the flashing stops and the battery charge animation
appears on the touchscreen.
13
The Basics
Non-Removable Battery
