Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use

Important: Read This Information Before Using Your Handheld Portable Cellular Telephone

Your handheld portable cellular 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 cellular 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 range of 824 MHz to 894 MHz and employs commonly used frequency modulation (FM) techniques. When you use your phone, the cellular 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 NonIonizing 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:

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 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 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 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 ALW AYS 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.

Aircraft

FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while in the air. Turn your phone OFF 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.

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.

V ehic les 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.

Warranty Notification

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.

Do not tamper with the Warranty Seal on the back of your phone. Tampering with this seal can void your warranty. Do not attempt to take your phone apart. Doing so will void your warranty.Your phone does not contain consumer serviceable components. Service should only be performed by Authorized Service Centers.

Battery Information

New Batteries

The battery packaged with your phone is not fully charged. However, there may be enough power to turn the phone on. To get maximum battery capacity, you should condition the battery by first charging it, and then fully discharging it, three times in succession.

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 an old one that has not been used for a long period of time, needs to be fully discharged and recharged three times to reach full capacity. This is called conditioning. The easiest way to condition a battery is to leave your phone ON until the Low Battery alarm sounds and the phone shuts off, then charge the battery. If a multicharger was packaged with your phone, the multicharger has a battery conditioning function.

Avoid recharging a fully-charged or almost fullycharged 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, you should 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 high temperatures, such as inside a car on a hot day. This could reduce the battery's capacity.

Never let the metal contacts on the battery

touch another metal object. This could short-circuit 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 voids the warranty. Never charge a battery when the ambient room temperature is below 50° F (10° C) or above 105° F (40° C).

Battery Charging Times

The following table lists the charging times for various battery/charger combinations. The label on the box in which your phone was packaged describes the type of charger and battery included with your phone.

The cellular system is busy with other calls. Wait a while and try your call again.

You called a number for which you have set call restrictions. See the Locks menu for changing call restrictions.

You entered an incorrect security code. Enter the correct security code.

Battery power is low. When the phone shuts itself off, replace the battery with a fully charged one, or use an alternate power source, such as a travel charger.

sure that the battery eliminator is fully inserted into the vehicle cigarette lighter. Make sure the vehicle is supplying power to the cigarette lighter.

Phone is not ringing when a call is received

Check the Sounds menu to make sure the

phone is not set for Silent Mode.

Phone becomes warm during long calls

This is not a problem. Because of its size, the phone may feel slightly warm during extended calls.

Battery does not seem to charge to full capacity

Condition the battery by fully discharging and charging it three times. Or , if your phone came with a multicharger, use the conditioning function on the multicharger to condition the battery.
