Safety Information
For your safety, please read the guidelines below carefully before you
use your phone:
Exposure to Radio Frequency Signals
Exposure to Radio Frequency Signals
Exposure to Radio Frequency SignalsExposure to Radio Frequency Signals
Your wireless handheld portable telephone is a low power transmitter
and receiver. When it is ON, it receives and also sends out radio frequency (RF) signals.
European and international agencies have set standards and recommendations for the protection of public exposure to RF electromagnetic
energy.
• International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection
(ICNIRP) 1996
• Verband Deutscher Elektringenieure (VDE) DIN- 0848
• Directives of the European Community, Directorate General V in
Matters of Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Energy
• National Radiological Protection Board of the United Kingdom, GS
11, 1988
• American National Standards Institute (ANSI) IEEE. C95.1- 1992
• National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements
(NCRP). Report 86
• Department of Health and Welfare Canada. Safety Code 6
These standards are based on extensive scientific review. For example,
over 120 scientists, engineers and physicians from universities, government health agencies and industry reviewed the available body of
research to develop the updated ANSI Standard.
The design of your phone complies with these standards when used normally.

Antenna Care
Antenna Care
Antenna CareAntenna Care
Use only the supplied or approved replacement antenna. Unauthorized
antennas, modifications or attachments may damage the phone and violate FCC regulations.
Phone Operation
Phone Operation
Phone OperationPhone Operation
Normal Position: Hold the phone as you would any other telephone with
the antenna pointed up and over your shoulder. For your phone to oper-
ate most efficiently, 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 higher power level than otherwise needed.
Batteries
Batteries
BatteriesBatteries
All batteries can cause property damage, injury or burns if a conductive
material such as jewelry, keys or beaded chains touches exposed terminals. The material may complete electrical circuit and become quite hot.
To protect against such unwanted current drain, exercise care in handling
any charged battery, particularly when placing it inside your pocket,
purse or other container with metal objects. When battery is detached
from the phone, your batteries are packed with a protective battery cover;
please use this cover for storing your batteries when not in use.
Driving
Driving
DrivingDriving
Check the laws and regulations on the use of wireless telephones in the
areas where you drive. Always obey them. Also, if using your phone
while driving, please:
• Give full attention to driving--driving safety 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
Electronic Devices
Electronic DevicesElectronic Devices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF signals. However, certain electronic equipment may not be shielded against the RF
signals from your wireless phone.
Pacemakers
Pacemakers
PacemakersPacemakers
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:
• 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 the 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 hearing aid
manufacturer to discuss alternatives.
Other Medical Devices
Other Medical Devices
Other Medical DevicesOther 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 health care facilities when any regulations
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
Posted Facilities
Posted FacilitiesPosted Facilities
Turn your phone OFF in any facility where posted notice so requires.
Aircraft
Aircraft
AircraftAircraft
FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while in the air. Switch OFF
your phone, or change to the Flight mode before boarding an aircraft.
Blasting Areas
Blasting Areas
Blasting AreasBlasting Areas
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your phone OFF when
in a “blasting area” or in area posted “TURN OFF TWO-WAY RADIO.”
Obey all signs and instructions.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Potentially Explosive AtmospheresPotentially Explosive Atmospheres
Turn your phone OFF and do not remove the battery when in any area
with a potentially explosive atmosphere and obey all signs and instructions. Sparks, from your battery, 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 facilities; 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
For Vehicles Equipped with an Air Bag
For Vehicles Equipped with an Air BagFor 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.
