Acknowledging Special Precautions and the
FCC Notice
FCC Notice
This phone may cause TV or radio interference if used in close proximity to receiving
equipment. The FCC can require you to stop using the phone if such interference
cannot be eliminated.
Vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (propane or butane) must comply with the
National Fire Protection Standard (NFPA-58). For a copy of this standard, contact the
National Fire Protections Association, One Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269,
Attn.: Publication Sales Division.
Cautions
Any changes or modifications to your phone not expressly approved in this document
could void your warranty for this equipment and void your authority to operate this
equipment. Only use approved batteries and chargers. The use of any unauthorized
accessories may be dangerous and void the phone warranty if said accessories cause
damage or a defect to the phone.
Although your phone is quite sturdy, it is a complex piece of equipment and can be
broken. Avoid dropping, hitting, bending or sitting on it.
Body-Worn Operation
To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines, if you wear a handset on
your body, use the Sprint approved carrying case, holster, or belt clip that contains no
metal and positions the handset a minimum of 7/8 inch (2.2 centimeters) from the
body. If you do not use a body-worn accessory, ensure the antenna is at least 7/8 inch
(2.2 centimeters) from your body when transmitting.
Use of non-Sprint approved accessories may violate FCC RF exposure guidelines.
For more information about RF exposure, visit the FCC Website at www.fcc.gov.

Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) for Wireless Phones
The SAR is a value that corresponds to the relative amount of RF energy absorbed by
the user of a wireless handset.
The SAR value of a phone is the result of an extensive testing, measuring and
calculation process. It does not represent how much RF the phone emits. All phone
models are tested at their highest value in strict laboratory settings. But when in
operation, the SAR of a phone can be substantially less than the level reported to the
FCC. This is because of a variety of factors including its proximity to a base station
antenna, phone design and other factors. What is important to remember is that each
phone meets strict federal guidelines. Variations in SARs do not represent a variation
in safety.
All phones must meet the federal standard, which incorporates a substantial margin of
safety. As stated above, variations in SAR values between different model phones do
not mean variations in safety. SAR values at or below the federal standard of 1.6 W/kg
are considered safe for use by the public.
The highest reported SAR values of the V-6016i by Nokia are:
Amps mode (Part 22):
Head: 1.28 W/kg; Body-worn: 1.00
W/kg
Cell mode (Part 22):
Head: 1.14 W/kg; Body-worn: 0.91 W/kg
PCS mode (Part 24):
Head: 1.28 W/kg; Body-worn: 0.46 W/kg
For body-worn operation, position the phone at least 7/8 inch (2.2 centimeters) away
from your body.
