Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use

.

c

Since its introduction in the mid 1980s the mobile
phone is one of the most exciting and innovative
products ever developed. Your phone can help you to
stay in touch with your office, your home, emergency
services and others.

Safety

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 guide-

ot

lines are consistent with the safety standards previously
set by both US and international standards bodies:

• ANSI C95.1 (1992)*

• NCRP Report 86 (1986)*

com

• ICNIRP (1996)*

Those standards were based on comprehensive and peri-

or

f

odic 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.

E

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

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:

c

ri

• Extend your antenna fully (where applicable).

• 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.

Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use 3

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:

• Give full attention to driving - driving safely is your
first responsibility.

• Use handsfree operation, if available.

• Pull off the road and park before making or answer-

ing a call if driving conditions so require.

In addition, Ericsson suggests the following safe driving
tips if you are using your phone while driving:

• Get to know your wireless phone and its features
such as speed dial and redial.

• Position your wireless phone
within easy reach.

• Suspend conversations during
hazardous driving conditions or
situations.

• Do not take notes or look up

ot

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.

or

f

• Use your wireless phone to call for help.

• Use you wireless phone to help others in emergen-

cies.

• Call roadside assistance or a special wireless non­emergency assistance number when necessary.

Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF
signals. However, certain electronic equipment may not
be shielded against 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 recommendations are consistent with the
independent research by and recommendations of Wire­less Technology Research.

Persons with pacemakers:

Hearing Aids

Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some
hearing aids. In the event of such interference, you may

ri

E

• 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 mini-

mize the potential for interference.

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

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 it is 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

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

FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while in the

or

air. Switch OFF your phone before boarding an aircraft.

f

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.

E

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.

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
bodily injury could result.

Product Care and Operation

Ericsson suggests you read an observe the following for
safe care and operation of your phone:

• Do not allow children to play with your phone.
They could hurt themselves or others, or could acci­dentally damage the phone. Your phone may con­tain small parts that could be detached and create a
choking hazard.

• Do not expose your mobile phone to moisture or
extreme temperatures.

• Only Ericsson original accessories are recom­mended. Failure to use them may result in loss of
performance or product damage, and will void the
warranty.

• Do not attempt to disassemble the product. Doing
so will void warranty. This product does not con­tain consumer serviceable components. Service
should only be performed by Authorized Service
Centers.

• Do not allow objects to fall on, or liquids to spill on
products.

• Connect AC (power supply) only to designated
power sources as marked on the product.

• To reduce risk of damage, remove the electrical cord
from the outlet by pulling the AC adapter rather

or

than the cord.

Battery Information

• Make sure the electric cord is located so that it will
not be stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise sub­jected to damage or stress.

• To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug the unit
from the power source before attempting any clean­ing. Once unplugged, use a soft cloth lightly damp­ened with water for cleaning.

• DANGER - Never alter the AC cord or plug. If the
plug will not fit into the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician. Improper con­nection can result in risk of electric shock.

E

• Don’t continue to twist the antenna after it has
been inserted. Excess twisting will damage the
antenna.

• Be cautious if removing your antenna. A detached
antenna may be a choking hazard for children.

New Batteries

The battery packaged with your phone is not fully
charged. For maximum battery capacity, use your
charger to condition the battery.
