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.
iv
Not for commercial use
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).
