WIRELESS HANDHELD PHONES

Read this information before using your Hand held 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 Com

missions (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 interna tional standards bodies:

ANSI C95.1 (1992)* NCRP Report 88(1986)* ICNIRP (1996)*

Those standards were based on comprehensive and periodic evaluations of the relevant scientific lit erature. For example, over120 scientists, engineers, and physicians from univarsities, gov ernment health agencies, and industry reviewed the available body of research to develop the ANSI Standard (C95.1).

The design of your phone complies with the FCC guidelines (and those standards).

American National Standards Institute; National Council on Radiation Protection and Meas urements; International Commission on Non ionizing Radiation Protection.

ANTENNA CARE

Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage the phone and may violate FCC regulations.

PHONE OPERATION Normal Position: Hold the phone as you would

any other telephone with the antenna pointed up and over your shoulder.

Tips on Efficient Operation: For your phone to operate most efficiently:

• Extend your antenna fully.

• Do not touch the antenna unnecessarily when the phone is in use. Contact with the antenna affects call quality and may cause the phone to operate at a higher power level than otherwise needed.

DRIVING

Check the laws and regulations on the use of wire

less telephones 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 first responsibility.

• Use hands-free operation, if available.

• Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving conditions so require.

ELECTRONIC DEVICES

Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF signals. However, certain electronic equip ment may not be shielded against the RF signals from your wireless phone.

Pacemakers.

The health Industry Manufacturers Association rec ommends that a minimum separation of six (6") Inch es be maintained between a handheld wireless

phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interferance with the pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with the independent research by and recommendations of Wireless Technology Research.

Persons with pacemakers:

• Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than six inches from their pacemaker when the phone is turned ON.

• Should not carry the phone in a breast pock et.

• Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for interference.

• If you have any reason to suspect that inter ference 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 interfer ence, you may want to consult your service provid

er [or call the customer service line to discuss alter

natives.]

Other Medical Devices

If you use any other personal medical device, con sult the manufacturer of your device to determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF ener gy. Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this information.

Vehicles

RF signals may affect improperly installed or inade quately shielded electronic systems in motor vehi cles. Check with the manufacturer or its representa tive regarding your vehicle. You should also con sult the manufacturer of any equipment that has been added to your vehicle.

Posted Facilities

Turn your phone OFF in any facility where posted notices so require.

AIRCRAFT

FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while in the air.

Switch OFF your phone before boarding an air

craft.

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 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 gasoline stations: below deck on boats: fuel or chemical transfer or storage vehicles using liquefied 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

engine.

For vehicles Equipped with an Air Bag

An air bag inflates with great force. DO NOT place

objects, including both installed or portable wire

less equipment, in the area over the air bag or in

the air bag deployment area. If in-vehicle wireless

equipment is improperly installed and the air bag

inflates, serious injury could result.
