This portable handset is one of the most innovative products ever developed. With it, you can maintain connectivity to traditional phone services while remaining mobile around the work environment. For the safe and efficient operation of your handset, observe the guidelines in this manual. Your portable handset is a radio transmitter and receiver. When it is on, it receives and sends out radio frequency (RF) energy. The handset operates in the frequency range of 1920 to 1930 MHz and employs commonly used modulation techniques.
* Acetone can be damaging to the plastic casing of the 9p23 portable handset and should not be used (or used with extreme caution).
The plastic casing of the 9p23 portable handset is more sensitive to chemicals than the display.

Exposure to radio frequency signals
This portable handset is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limit for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the U.S. Government and Canada. These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and established permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. These guidelines are based on the safety standards previously set by both U.S. and international standards bodies. These standards include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health. The exposure standards for wireless mobile telephones employs a unit of measure known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC and Canada is 1.6W/kg averaged over one gram of tissue.
Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions specified by the FCC with the handset transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the handset while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the handset is designed to operate at multiple power levels.
Before a telephone model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the limit established by government­adopted requirement for safe exposure. The tests are performed in positions and locations (for example, at the ear and worn on the body) as required by the FCC for each model. The highest SAR value for this handset when tested for use at the ear is 0.076 W/kg, and when worn on the body is 0.018 W/kg. (Body worn measurements differ among handsets depending upon available accessories and the FCC requirements.) While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various handsets and at various positions, they all meet the government requirement for safe exposure.
For body worn operation, to maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines, use only Ascom approved accessories. When carrying the handset while it is on, use only the specific Ascom belt clip that has been tested for compliance.
The FCC has granted an equipment authorization for this Ascom 9p23 portable handset with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF emissions guidelines. SAR information on this 9p23 portable handset is on file with the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section of www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching on FCC ID O4M9p23.
Most modern electronic equipment (for example, equipment in hospitals and cars) is shielded from RF energy. However, RF energy from telephones may affect some electronic equipment.
Children
Do not allow children to play with your handset. It is not a toy. Children could hurt themselves or others. Children could also damage the handset. Product packaging material is often small and may present a choking hazard.
Potentially explosive atmospheres
Turn the portable handset off when in an area with a potentially explosive atmosphere. It is rare, but the handset or its accessories could generate sparks. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or death.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always, clearly marked. They include fueling areas, (such as gas stations), below deck on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities, and areas where the air contains chemicals or particles (such as grain, dust, or metal powders).
Do not transport or store flammable gas, liquid, or explosives in any compartment of a vehicle which also contains the handset and accessories.
In the U.S., vehicles powered by liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane) must comply with the National Fire Protection Standard (NFPA-58). For a copy of this standard, contact the National Fire Protection Association, One Batterymarch Park, Quincy, Massachusetts 02269, Attention: Publication Sales Division.
Use of non-Ascom approved accessories may violate the FCC RF exposure guidelines and should be avoided.
