Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use
Important: Read This Information Before Using Your Handheld Portable Telephone
Your handheld portable telephone lets you stay in touch with your office, your home, emergency services, and many other places while you travel. For safe and efficient operation of your phone, observe the guidelines in this manual.
Your telephone is a radio transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it receives and sends out radio frequency (RF) energy. The phone operates in the frequency ranges of 824 MHz to 894 MHz and 1850 MHz to 1990 MHz, employing commonly used frequency modulation (FM) techniques. When you use your phone, the wireless system handling your call controls the power level at which your phone transmits.
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 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 scientific 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 (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 Measurements; International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection
Antenna Care
Use only the supplied antenna 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, 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 telephones in the areas where you drive. Always obey them. Also, if using your phone while driving, please:
Get to know your wireless phone and its features such as speed dial and redial.
When available, use a handsfree device.
Position your wireless phone within easy
reach.
Suspend conversations during hazardous driving conditions or situations.
Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while driving.
Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place calls when you are not moving or before pulling into traffic.
Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that may be distracting.
Use your wireless phone to call for help.
Use your wireless phone to help others in
emergencies.
Call roadside assistance or a special wireless non-emergency assistance number when necessary.

Not for commercial use
Important Safety Information
Give full attention to driving.
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 equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals from your wireless phone.
Pacemak ers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum separation of six inches (6") 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.
Should turn the phone OFF immediately if they have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place.
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 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.
Posted Facilities
Turn your phone OFF in any facility where posted notices so require.
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.
Potentiall y 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 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.
Aircraft
FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while in the air. Turn your phone OFF before boarding an aircraft.
V ehic les
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.
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.

Battery Information
New Batteries
The battery packaged with your phone is not fully charged. To get maximum battery
capacity, you can use a multicharger to condition the battery. To condition the battery, you first charge it, and then you fully discharge it, three times in succession. See Conditioning a Battery on page 3.
Recycling Your Battery
Your phone manufacturer is a member of the Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation (RBRC), a non-profit public service organization designed to assist in the recycling of rechargeable NiCd batteries. Many areas require the recycling of these types of batteries. In the U.S., call 1-800-822-8837 to find out how to recycle your battery. Outside the U.S., contact your local retailer for recycling instructions.
Battery Use and Care
A rechargeable battery has a long service life if treated properly. A new battery, or one that has not been used for a long period of time, should be conditioned, as described above, before using your phone. If a multicharger was packaged with your phone, the multicharger has a battery conditioning function.
Avoid recharging a fully-charged or almost fully-charged battery. This can result in the memory effect, which causes the battery to charge to less than its full capacity. If your phone shuts off due to low battery power, charge the battery within 24 hours for the battery to reach full capacity.
Do not leave your battery where it could be subjected to extremely hot or cold temperatures. This could reduce the battery's capacity.
Never let the metal contacts on the battery touch another metal object. This could short­circuit and damage the battery.
Do not attempt to take a battery apart.
Do not expose a battery to open flame. This
could cause the battery to explode.
Turn your phone OFF before removing the battery.
Use only the AC/DC adapter supplied with your battery charger. Using a different adapter could be dangerous and will void your phone warranty.
Never charge a battery when the ambient room temperature is below 50° F (10° C) or above 105° F (40° C).
Do not allow the battery to be placed into the mouth. Battery electrolytes may be toxic if swallowed.
Battery Life/Scanning
When your phone cannot locate your home calling area or anther acceptable coverage provider, it will display Scanning. This means the phone is continuously searching for a channel to provide service. You need to be aware that scanning uses more battery life than normal operation of your phone. Your phone’s battery life will be depleted more quickly than normal if your phone frequently performs the scanning function.
