SAFETY INFORMATION FOR WIRE­LESS HANDHELD PHONES
READ THIS INFORMATION BEFORE
USING YOUR HANDHELD PORTABLE
CELLULAR TELEPHONE

Exposure to radio frequency signals
Your wireless handheld portable telephone is
a low power radio transmitter and receiver.
When it is ON, it receives and also sends
out radio frequency (RF) signals. In August
1996, the Federal Communications Com­missions (FCC) adopted RF exposure guide­lines with safety levels for handheld wireless
phones. Those guidelines are consistent with
the safety standards previously set by both
U.S. and international standards bodies:

* ANSI C95.1 (1992)
** NCRP Report 86 (1986)
*** ICNIRP (1996)

Those standards were based on comprehen­sive and periodic evaluations of the relevant

scientic literature. For example, over 120

scientists, engineers, and physicians from
universities, government health agencies,
and industry reviewed the available body
of research to develop the ANSI Standard
(C951). The design of your phone complies
with the FCC guidelines (and those stan­dards).

* American National Standards
Institute.
** National Council on Radiation
Protection and Measurements.
*** International Commission on
Nonionizing Radiation Protection.

Antenna safety
Use only the supplied or an approved re­placement antenna. Unauthorized antennas,

modications, or attachments could impair

call quality, damage the phone, or result in
violation of FCC regulations. Please contact
your local dealer for a replacement antenna.

Do not use the phone with a damaged
antenna. If a damaged antenna comes into
contact with the skin, a minor burn may
result. Please contact your local dealer for a
replacement antenna.

Driving safety
Talking on the phone while driving is
extremely dangerous and is illegal in some
states.

Remember, safety comes rst. Check the

laws and regulations on the use of phones
in the areas where you drive. Always obey
them. Also, if using your phone while driv­ing, please:

· Give full attention to driving.

Driving safely is your rst respon­sibility.

· Use hands-free operation, if avail-

able.

· Pull off the road and park before

making or answering a call, if driv­ing conditions so require.

· When turned on, your mobile

phone emits electromagnetic waves
that can interfere with the vehicle’s
electronic systems such as ABS an­ti-lock brakes or airbags. To ensure
that there is no problem:

o Do not place your mobile

phone on top of the dash­board or within an airbag
deployment area,

o Check with your car

dealer or the car manufac­turer to make sure that the
car’s electronic devices
are shielded from mobile
phone RF energy.

If you must use the phone while driving,
please use one-touch, speed dialing, and
auto answer modes.

An airbag inates with great force. DO NOT

place objects, including both installed or
portable wireless equipment, in the area over
the airbag or in the air bag deployment area.
If in-vehicle wireless equipment is improp-

erly installed and the air bag inates, serious

injury could result.

WARNING! Failure to follow these instruc-

tions may lead to serious personal injury and
possible property damage.

Protect Your Hearing
Listening to a headset at high volumes can
damage your hearing. Use only the mini­mum volume setting necessary to hear your
conversation or music.

Electronic devices
Your wireless handheld portable telephone is
a low power radio transmitter and receiver.
When it is ON, it receives and also sends out
radio frequency (RF) signals. Most modern
electronic equipment is shielded from RF
energy. However, certain electronic equip­ment may not be shielded against the RF
signals from your wireless phone. Therefore,
use of your phone must be restricted in
certain situations.

Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Associa­tion recommends that a minimum separation
of six (6”) inches be maintained between a
handheld wireless phone and a pacemak­er to avoid potential interference with the
pacemaker. These recommendations are con­sistent with the independent research by and
recommendations of Wireless Technology
Research. Persons with pacemakers:

· ALWAYS keep the phone more

than six inches from your pacemak­er when the phone is turned on.

· Do not carry the phone in a breast

pocket.

· Use the ear opposite the pacemak-

er to minimize the potential for
interference.

· If you have any reason to suspect

that interference is taking place,
turn your phone OFF immediately.

Hearing aids
Some digital wireless phones may interfere
with some hearing aids. In the event of
such interference, you may want to consult
your service provider (or call the customer
service line to discuss alternatives).

Other medical devices
If you use any other personal medical
device, consult the manufacturer of your
device to determine if they are adequately
shielded from external RF energy. Your phy­sician may be able to assist you in obtaining
this information. Turn your phone OFF in
healthcare facilities when any regulations
posted in these areas instruct you to do so.
Hospitals or healthcare facilities may be
using equipment that could be sensitive to
external RF energy.

Vehicles
RF signals may affect improperly installed
or inadequately shielded electronic systems
in motor vehicles. Check with the manu-

facturer or its representative regarding your
vehicle. You should also consult the man­ufacturer of any equipment that has been
added to your vehicle.

Posted facilities
Turn your phone OFF where posted notices
so require.

Other Safety Guidelines

Aircraft
FCC regulations prohibit using your phone
while in the air. Turn your phone OFF
before boarding an aircraft. Always request
and obtain prior consent and approval of
an authorized airline representative before
using your phone aboard an aircraft.

Always follow the instructions of the airline
representative whenever using your phone
aboard an aircraft, to prevent any possible
interference with airborne electronic equip­ment.

Blasting areas
To avoid interfering with blasting oper­ations, turn your phone OFF when in a
“blasting area” or in areas posted: “Turn off
two-way radio.” Obey all signs and instruc­tions.

Potentially explosive atmospheres

Turn your phone OFF when in any area with
a potentially explosive atmosphere and obey
all signs and instructions. Sparks in such ar-

eas could cause an explosion or re 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;
vehicles using liqueed petroleum gas (such
as propane or butane); areas where the air

contains chemicals or particles, such as

grain, dust, or metal powders; and any other

area where you would normally be advised
to turn off your vehicle’s engine.

Commercial Mobile Alerting System
(CMAS)
This phone is designed to receive Wireless
Emergency Alerts from CMAS. If your
wireless provider has chosen to participate
in CMAS, alerts are available while in the
provider’s coverage area. If you travel out­side your provider’s coverage area, wireless
emergency alerts may not be available. For
more information, please contact your wire­less provider.

GPS & AGPS
This phone uses a Global Positioning Signal
(GPS) for location-based applications. A
GPS uses satellites controlled by the U.S.

Government that are subject to changes
implemented in accordance with the Depart­ment of Defense policy and the 2008 Federal
Radio navigation Plan (FRP). Changes may
affect the performance of location-based
technology on your mobile phone.

This phone can also use an Assisted Global
Positioning System (AGPS), which obtains
information from the cellular network to
improve GPS performance. AGPS uses your
wireless service provider’s network and
therefore airtime, data charges, and/or addi­tional charges may apply in accordance with
your service plan. Contact your wireless
provider for details.

Your Location
Location-based information includes infor­mation that can be used to determine the
approximate location of a mobile device.
Mobile devices, which are connected to a
wireless network, transmit location-based in­formation. Additionally, if you use applica­tions that require location-based information
(e.g. driving directions), such applications
transmit location-based information. The
location-based information may be shared
with third parties, including your wireless
service provider, applications providers, and
other third parties providing services.

Use of AGPS in Emergency Calls
When you make an emergency call, the cel-

lular network may activate AGPS technolo­gy in your mobile phone to tell the emergen­cy responders your approximate location.

AGPS has limitations and might not work in
your area. Therefore:

· Always tell the emergency respond-

er your location to the best of your

ability; and

· Remain on the phone for as long as

the emergency responder instructs
you.

Navigation
Maps, directions, and other navigation-data,
including data relating to your current loca­tion, may contain inaccurate or incomplete
data, and circumstances can and do change
over time. In some areas, complete informa­tion may not be available. THEREFORE,
YOU SHOULD ALWAYS VISUALLY
CONFIRM THAT THE NAVIGATIONAL
INSTRUCTIONS ARE CONSISTENT
WITH WHAT YOU SEE BEFORE FOL­LOWING THEM. ALL USERS SHOULD
PLAY ATTENTION TO ROAD CONDI­TIONS, CLOSURES, TRAFFIC, AND ALL
OTHER FACTORS THAT MAY IMPACT
SAFE DRIVING OR WALKING. ALWAYS
OBEY POSTED ROAD SIGNS.

Emergency Calls
This mobile device, like any wireless mobile
device, operates using radio signals, wireless

and landline networks, as well as user-pro­grammed functions, which cannot guaran­tee connection in all conditions, areas, or
circumstances.

Therefore, you should never rely solely on
any wireless mobile device for essential
communications (medical emergencies,
for example). Before traveling in remote
or underdeveloped areas, plan an alternate
method of contacting emergency services
personnel. Remember, to make or receive
any calls, the mobile device must be turned
on and in a service area with adequate signal
strength.

Emergency calls may not be possible on all
wireless mobile device networks or when
certain network services and/or mobile de­vice features are in use. Check with location
service providers. If certain features are in
use (call blocking, for example), you may

rst need to deactivate those features before

you can make an emergency call. Consult
your User Manual and your local cellular
service provider. When making an emergen­cy call, remember to give all the necessary
information as accurately as possible. Re­member that your mobile device may be the
only means of communication at the scene

of an accident; do not cut off the call until

given permission to do so.
