Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use
Important: Read This Information
Before Using Your 9p23 Portable
Telephone
The handheld portable wireless telephone
is one of the most innovative products
ever developed. With it, you can
maintain connectivity to traditional
telephone services while remaining mobile
around hospital, campus or office. For
the safe and efficient operation of your
phone, observe the guidelines in this
manual. Your wireless telephone is a radio
transmitter and receiver. When it is ON
it receives and sends out radio frequency
(RF) energy. The phone operates in the
frequency range of 1920 to 1930 MHz
and employs commonly used modulation
techniques.
Exposure to Radio Frequency Signals
(SAR)
Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter
and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limit for
exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy
set by the Federal Communications
Commission of the U.S. Government and
Canada. These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and established
permitted levels of RF energy for the
general population. These guidelines are
based on the safety standards previously
set by both U.S. and international
standards bodies.
These standards include a substantial
safety margin designed to assure the safety
of all persons, regardless of age and
health.
The exposure standards for wireless
mobile phones employs a unit of measure
known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or
SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC and
Canada is 1.6W/kg averaged over one
gram of tissue.
Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use
Tests for SAR are conducted using
standard operating positions specified by
the FCC with the phone transmitting at
its highest certified power level in all
tested frequency bands. Although the SAR
is determined at the highest certified
power level, the actual SAR level of the
phone while operating can be well below
the maximum value. This is because the
phone is designed to operate at multiple
power levels.
Before a phone model is available for sale
to the public, it must be tested and
certified to the FCC that it does not
exceed the limit established by government-adopted requirement for safe
exposure. The tests are performed in
positions and locations(for example, at
the ear and worn on the body) as required
by the FCC for each model. The highest
SAR value for this phone when tested for
use at the ear is 0.076 W/kg, and when
worn on the body is 0.018 W/kg. (Body
worn measurements differ among phones
depending upon available accessories and
the FCC requirements.) While there may
be differences between the SAR levels of
various phones and at various positions,
they all meet the government requirement for safe exposure.
For body worn operation, to maintain
compliance with FCC RF exposure
guidelines, use only Ascom approved
accessories. When carrying the phone
while it is on, use only the specific Ascom
belt clip that has been tested for
compliance.
Use of non-Ascom-approved accessories
may violate the FCC RF exposure
guidelines and should be avoided.
The FCC has granted an equipment
authorization for this Ascom 9P23 phone
with all reported SAR levels evaluated as
in compliance with the FCC RF emissions
6
Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use
guidelines. SAR information is on this
9P23 phone is on file with the FCC and
can be found under the Display Grant
section of <http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid>
after searching on FCC ID O4M9P23."
Efficient Phone Operation
For your phone to operate at the lowest
power level, and maintain satisfactory call
quality:
♦ Hold the phone as you would any
other telephone. Speak directly into
the microphone.
Electronic Devices
Most modern electronic equipment (for
example, equipment in hospitals and cars)
is shielded from RF energy. However, RF
energy from wireless telephones may
affect some electronic equipment.
Children
Do not allow children to play with your
phone. It is not a toy. Children could
hurt themselves or others. Children could
also damage the phone. Product
packaging material is often small and may
present a choking hazard.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Turn your phone OFF when in any area
with potentially explosive atmosphere. It
is rare, but your phone or its accessories
could generate sparks. Sparks in such
areas could cause an explosion or fire
resulting in bodily injury or even death.
Areas with a potentially explosive
atmosphere are often, but not always,
clearly marked. They include fueling
areas, (such as gas stations), below deck on
boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage
facilities, and areas where the air contains
chemicals or particles (such as grain, dust,
or metal powders).
Do not transport or store flammable gas,
liquid, or explosives in any compartment
of your vehicle which contains your
phone and accessories.
In the U.S., vehicles powered by 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, Massachusetts 02269, Attention: Publication Sales
Division.
Operation Procedures
In the U.S., portable wireless telephones
are subject to the rules and regulations of
the FCC. Following these rules will help
to eliminate confusion, ensure the most
efficient use of the existing frequencies,
and result in a smoothly functioning radio
network. The following offenses are
punishable by fine, imprisonment, or both:
♦ Use of profane, indecent, or obscene
language.
♦ Transmission of a false distress signal
or call.
♦ Willful or malicious interference
with any other radio communica
tions.
♦ Refusal to yield a channel or radio
frequency when informed that it is
needed for an emergency call.
Emergency calls have priority over
all messages.
♦ Adjustment of the equipment by
anyone other than a qualified
licensed technician.
UTAM Requirements
Installation of this equipment is subject to
notification and coordination with
UTAM, Inc. Any relocation of this
equipment must be coordinated through,
and approved by UTAM. If there are any
interference problems, UTAM may be
contacted at 1-800-429-UTAM (1-800429-8826).

FCC Requirements
This device complies with Part 15 of the
FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions: (1) this device
may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that
may cause undesired operation.
This equipment has been tested and found
to comply with the limits for a Class A
digital service, pursuant to Part 15 of the
FCC Rules. These limits are designed to
provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference when the equipment
is operated in a commercial environment.
This equipment generates, uses, and can
radiate radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the
instruction manual, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications.
Operation of this equipment in a
residential area is likely to cause harmful
interference in which case the user will be
required to correct the interference at his
own expense.
IC Requirements
The term “IC:” before the radio
certification number only signifies that
Industry of Canada technical specifications were met.
WARRANTY
NOTIFICATION
Do not tamper with the Warranty
Seal on the back of your phone.
Tampering with this seal can void
your warranty. Do not attempt to
take your phone apart. Doing so will
void your warranty and your authority to operate the phone. Your phone
does not contain consumer serviceable components. Service should
only be performed by Authorized
Service Centers.

Battery Information
New Batteries
The battery packaged with your phone is
not fully charged. However, there may be
enough power to turn the phone on. To
get maximum battery capacity, you should
charge the battery before using it.
Battery Use and Care
A rechargeable battery has a long service
life, if treated properly.
♦ Do not leave a battery where it
could be subjected to extremely high
temperatures, such as inside a car on
a hot day. This could reduce the
battery’s capacity.
♦ Never let the metal contacts on the
battery touch another metal object.
This could short-circuit and damage
the battery.
♦ Do not attempt to take a battery
apart.
♦ Do not expose a battery to open
flame. This could cause the battery
to explode.
♦ Turn your phone OFF before
removing the battery.
♦ Use only Ascom provided adapters
supplied with your battery charger.
Using a different adapter could be
dangerous and voids the warranty.
Never charge a battery when the
ambient room temperature is above
104°F/40°C or below 41°F/5°C.
Battery Charging Times
The desktop and rack chargers charging
time are approximately 1-2 hours (900
mAh battery).
