Safety Information

Introduction

Correct usage

To properly utilize your Aiwa PCT, please observe the following guidelines:

• Your phone cannot be used in tunnels, mountain valleys, and inside buildings where radio signals don’t reach.

• Telephone calls cannot be placed or received outside a PCT cell station’s service area.

• Your PCT telephone uses digital transmission, which makes it difficult for eavesdroppers to listen in on your conversation. However, it is not impossible to decode and eavesdrop on PCT transmissions using receivers that are on the market, so use appropriate caution.

• Take care not to annoy other people when using the phone in crowded or quiet surroundings.

• Heed usage restriction posted in theaters, restaurant, libraries, hotel lobbies, etc.

• Using the phone near television sets or radios may interfere with reception.

• Using the phone near metallic objects may interfere with operation. If you need to place the phone on a metal surface, such as a steel desk, stand the phone in its charger if possible.

PT-H99’s features

Easy Shuttle - Simple, one-handed operation

Digital - Clear, crisp, sound, secure transmissions

Your Aiwa PCT uses digital transmissions that are perfectly suited to multimedia. The digital transmission method provides high sound quality, and at the same time makes it difficult for eavesdroppers to listen in on your private conversation.

You can use the vibration mode in situations where a ringing phone would disturb others.

Accessories

Make sure you have all your phone’s accessories.

Electronic Phonebook - store up to 300 entries

You don’t have your address book handy, and you don’t remember the number. What do you do? With your Aiwa PCT’s Electronic Phonebook feature, this problem is a thing of the past. Just enter the person’s name to search for the number and display it on the screen.

Accessory Keyboard - handy, cordless keyboard for text entry

A compact accessory keyboard is available. It uses infrared rays for transmission of data so you can use it whenever and wherever you enter bulk text.
