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
29
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).

INDEX
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 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 modem 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.
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.
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.
