Acknowledging Special Precautions and the
FCC Notice
FCC Notice
The 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 (such as propane or
butane) must comply with the National Fire Protection
Standard (NFPA-58). For a copy of this standard, contact the
National Fire Protection 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, antennas 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
that 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,
please visit the FCC Web site at

Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) for Wireless Phones
The SAR is a value that corresponds to the relative amount of RF
energy absorbed in the head of a 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.
At a distance of 7/8 inch (2.2 centimeters), the reported SAR
values of the Nokia 3588i phone are:
AMPS mode (Part 22)—Head: 1.08 W/kg; Body-worn: 0.96 W/kg
CELL mode (Part 22)—Head: 0.95 W/kg; Body-worn: 0.83 W/kg
PCS mode (Part 24)—Head: 1.18 W/kg; Body-worn: 0.54 W/kg

This phone meets the FCC Radiofrequency Emission
Guidelines. FCC ID number: QMNRH-44. More information on
