INTRODUCTION

First introduced in 1984, the handheld portable cellular tele phone is one of the most exciting and innovative electronic products ever developed. With it you can stay in contact with your office, your home, emergency services, and others.

SAFETY INFORMATION FOR WIRELESS HANDHELD PHONES

READ THIS INFORMATION BEFORE US ING YOUR HANDHELD PORTABLE CEL LULAR 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 Commission (FCC) adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety levels

for hand-held wireless phones. Those guidelines are consis

tent with the safety standards previously set by both U.S.

and international standards bodies: ANSIC95.1 (1992)* NCRP Report 86 (1986)* ICNIRP(1996)*

• American National Standards Institute; National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements; International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection

Those standards were based on comprehensive and periodic evaluations of the relevant scientific literature. For example,

over 120 scientists, engineers, and physicians from univer

sities, government health agencies, and industry reviewed the available body of research to develop the ANSI Stan dard (C95.1). The design of your phone complies with the FCC guidelines

(and those standards).

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 op erate 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 wireless tele 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 first responsibility.

• Use hand.s-free operation, if available.

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

HEARING AIDS

Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hear

ing aids. In the events 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 ad equately shielded from external RF energy. Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this information. Turn your phone OFF in health care facilities when any regu lations posted in these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care 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 manufacturer or its representative regarding your vehicle. You should also consult the manufacturer of any equipment that has been added to your vehicle.

ELECTRONIC DEVICES

Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF sig nals. However, certain electronic equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals from your wireless phone.

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 recommen dations 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 pocket.

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

• If you have any reason to suspect that interference is tak ing place, turn your phone OFF immediately.

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 aircraft.

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 result ing 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 facilities; vehicles using liquefied petro leum 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 wireless 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.
