device to a low power state to save battery power, but you will still be able
to receive calls and messages. To turn the display back on, simply press the
POWER button again.

To turn off the power, press and hold the POWER button. A message will

antifraud technology to make fraudulent calling very difficult, particularly

26

on digital calls.

• Report a lost or stolen wireless device to the police and Verizon Wireless

immediately.

• Never leave your wireless device unattended, especially in your office or

car.

• When not in use, lock the wireless device using your lock code.

• Review your bill and report any suspicious calling activity. If we conclude

that the calls are fraudulent, you will not be held responsible for the
charges.

• Record your wireless device’s electronic serial number in the back of this

guide and keep it safe.

• Have your wireless device serviced only at a Verizon Wireless

Communications Store or by an Authorized Agent, retailer, manufacturer’s
service center or other repair center.

Assistive communication devices

TTY (Text Telephony) and TDD (Telecommunications Device for the Deaf )
allow individuals who are deaf, hard of hearing, or have speech or language
disabilities to communicate by telephone.

When a user types his or her conversation on a TTY keyboard, it is
transmitted as tones through the telephone. Tones are received by the
other person’s TTY, translated into text and displayed on the screen. In
order to use the TTY network, you must have a TTY-compatible phone and
be in the TTY mode to place or receive calls. Note that most digital wireless
devices are TTY-compatible.

How wireless works

Your wireless service is different from your home or business phone service.
On a wireless device, you must press the TALK button to alert the network
to connect your call. Unlike the calls you make on a home or business
phone, wireless communications travel over the air and can react to the
environment. Rain, snow, fog, falling leaves, water, mountains, canyons
and even buildings may affect service. All wireless service is subject to
“dead zones,” or no-coverage areas.

Verizon Wireless network technology

Verizon Wireless offers CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) digital
network technology to most of its customers. CDMA digital technology
offers many benefits compared to analog, such as less static, enhanced
voice clarity, increased privacy and longer battery life. A CDMA digital
phone is necessary to subscribe to our digital service. Verizon Wireless only
sells digital wireless devices that are E911 compatible and either all-digital
or tri-mode, which means you may use analog or CDMA digital services on
different frequencies.

Worry Free Guarantee®

Subject to the Customer Agreement and Calling Plan. Please read and
understand them before activating. Verizon Wireless calling areas, rates,
coverage, agreements, provisions, business practices, procedures and
policies are subject to change as specified in the Customer Agreement. Our
liability is significantly limited.

were automatically enrolled in the program. Customers who began their
2-year agreements on or after 4/01/00 on a digital Calling Plan of $35.00
or higher were also automatically enrolled in the program. If you enrolled
in the program prior to 2/05/06 and continued to meet the requirements
of the program, you will be eligible for a free wireless device up to $100, or
a credit of up to $100 toward a more expensive wireless device, when you
become eligible for your next New Every Two upgrade (after which time
you will be enrolled in the $50/$100 New Every Two program described
in the brochure). New Every Two discount amounts and Calling Plan tiers
subject to change at Verizon Wireless’ sole discretion.

Security Deposit

You may have been asked to leave a security deposit at the time you
activated your wireless service. You are eligible to receive your security
deposit back at the end of 1 year of uninterrupted service, or upon
termination of your contract. You will automatically be refunded your
deposit after 1 year, including interest, provided that you have kept your
account in “good standing” (this means that you paid your bill continuously

40

for 1 year in a timely manner). This refund may take up to 3 billing cycles
to be processed. Should you be disconnected at any time during the first

year for lack of payment, you forfeit any interest accrued during that time
frame. If you terminate your service, but have not paid your final bill, the
deposit will be applied to your account, and you will receive any remaining
funds. If your service is terminated after the initial 15-dayWorry Free
Guarantee period but before the end of your minimum term, your deposit
will be applied against the $175 early termination fee in addition to any
outstanding balance before a check is processed.

Federal Communications Commission (FCC) rules and regulations

The FCC requires that wireless devices be operated in accordance with
FCC rules and regulations and under supervision of the licensee. Severe
punishment can result from failure to comply with the following
regulations:

• No person shall knowingly utter or transmit any false or fraudulent signal

or distress communication.

• No person shall willfully or maliciously interfere with, or cause

interference to, any radio communication or signal.

• It is unlawful to “listen in” on conversations intended for others or to

divulge any information thereby obtained.

• No person shall utter any obscene, indecent or profane language by

means of radio communication.

National Do Not Call Registry

Protect yourself from unwanted calls with the National Do Not Call Registry
Program.

• FCC regulations prohibit telemarketers from using automated dialers to

call wireless numbers.

• Personal wireless device users can add their wireless numbers to the

National Do Not Call Registry.

Radio Frequency Emissions

Your wireless device, which contains a radio transmitter and receiver, emits
radio frequency energy during use. The following consumer information
addresses commonly asked questions about the health effects of wireless
devices.

Are wireless devices safe?

Scientific research on the subject of wireless devices and radio frequency
(RF) energy has been conducted worldwide for many years, and continues.
In the United States, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) set policies and procedures for
wireless devices. The FDA and the FCC have created a joint website, “Cell
Phone Facts — Consumer Information on Wireless Phones,” which states
that “[t]he available scientific evidence does not show that any health
problems are associated with using wireless phones,” while noting that
“[t]here is no proof, however, that wireless phones are absolutely safe.” You
can access the joint FDA/FCC website at http://ww w.fda.gov/cellphones.
You can also contact the FDA toll-free at 1-888-463-6332 or 1-888-INFO-

pg

FDA.

42

In June 2000, the FDA entered into a cooperative research and development
agreement through which additional scientific research will be conducted.
The FCC issued its own website publication stating that “[t]here is no
scientific evidence to date that proves that wireless phone usage can lead
to cancer or a variety of other problems, including headaches, dizziness or
memory loss.” This publication is available at http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/

consumerfacts/mobilephone.html or through the FCC at 1-888-225­5322 or at 1-888-CALL-FCC.

What does Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) mean?

In 1996, the FCC, working with the FDA, the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) and other agencies, established RF exposure safety guidelines
for wireless devices in the United States. Before a wireless device model is
available for sale to the public, it must be tested by the manufacturer and
certified to the FCC that it does not exceed limits established by the FCC.

One of these limits is expressed as a Specific Absorption Rate, or “SAR.” SAR
is a measure of the rate of absorption of RF energy in the body. Tests for SAR
are conducted with the wireless device transmitting at its highest power
level in all tested frequency bands. Since 1996, the FCC has required that
the SAR of handheld wireless devices not exceed 1.6 watts per kilogram,
averaged over one gram of tissue. Although the SAR is determined at
the highest power level, the actual SAR value of a wireless device while
operating can be less than the reported SAR value. This is because the SAR
value may vary from call to call, depending on factors such as proximity to
a cell site, the proximity of the wireless device to the body while in use and
the use of hands-free devices.

MORE INFORMATION

pg

43

For more information about SARs, see the FCC’s OET Bulletins 56 and
65 at http://www.fcc.gov/Bureaus/Engineering_Technology/
Documents/bulletins, http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid, or visit the Cellular
Telecommunications Industry Association (CTIA) website at
http://www.ctia.org/wireless_consumers/health_and_safety.
You may also wish to contact the manufacturer of your wireless device.

MORE INFORMATION

Can I minimize my RF exposure?

If you are concerned about RF, there are several simple steps you can take
to minimize your RF exposure. You can, of course, reduce your talk time.
You can place more distance between your body and the source of the RF,
as the exposure level drops off dramatically with distance. The FDA/FCC
website states that “[h]ands-free kits can be used with wireless devices for
convenience and comfort. These systems reduce absorption of RF energy
in the head because the phone, which is a source of the RF emissions, will
not be placed against the head. On the other hand, if the phone is mounted
against the waist or other part of the body during use, then that part of the
body will absorb more RF energy. Wireless phones marketed in the U.S. are
required to meet safety requirements regardless of whether they are used
against the head or against the body. Either configuration should result in
compliance with the safety limit.”

Also, if you use your wireless device while in a car, you can use a wireless
device with an antenna on the outside of the vehicle. You should also read
and follow your wireless device manufacturer’s instructions for the safe
operation of your wireless device.

pg

44

Do wireless devices pose any special risks to children?

The FDA and FCC joint website states that “[t]he scientific evidence does not
show a danger to users of wireless phones, including children.” The FDA/FCC
website further states that “[s]ome groups sponsored by other national
governments have advised that children be discouraged from using
wireless phones at all. For example, the government in the United Kingdom
[“UK”] distributed leaflets containing such a recommendation in December

2000. [The UK] noted that no evidence exists that using a wireless phone

causes brain tumors or other ill effects. [The UK’s] recommendation to limit
wireless phone use by children was strictly precautionary; it was not based
on scientific evidence that any health hazard exists.”

A copy of the UK’s leaflet is available at http://www.dh.gov.uk (search
“Mobile”), or you can write to NRPB, Chilton, Didcot, Oxon OX11 0RQ,
United Kingdom. Parents who wish to reduce their children’s RF exposure
may choose to restrict their children’s wireless device use.

PREVENTION OF HEARING LOSS
Caution: Avoid potential hearing loss

Prolonged exposure to loud sounds (including music) is the most common
cause of preventable hearing loss. Some scientific research suggests
that using portable audio devices, such as portable music players and

MORE INFORMATION

pg

cellular telephones, at high volume settings for long durations may
lead to permanent noise-induced hearing loss. This includes the use of
headphones (including headsets, earbuds and Bluetooth® or other wireless
devices). Exposure to very loud sound has also been associated in some
studies with tinnitus (a ringing in the ear), hypersensitivity to sound and
distorted hearing. Individual susceptibility to noise-induced hearing loss
and other potential hearing problems varies.

The amount of sound produced by a portable audio device varies
depending on the nature of the sound, the device, the device settings and
the headphones. You should follow some commonsense recommendations
when using any portable audio device:

• Set the volume in a quiet environment and select the lowest volume

at which you can hear adequately.

• When using headphones, turn the volume down if you cannot hear

the people speaking near you or if the person sitting next to you can
hear what you are listening to.

• Do not turn the volume up to block out noisy surroundings. If you

choose to listen to your portable device in a noisy environment, use
noise-cancelling headphones to block out background environmental
noise.

• Limit the amount of time you listen. As the volume increases, less

46

time is required before your hearing could be affected.

• Avoid using headphones after exposure to extremely loud noises, such

as rock concerts, that might cause temporary hearing loss. Temporary
hearing loss might cause unsafe volumes to sound normal.

• Do not listen at any volume that causes you discomfort. If you

experience ringing in your ears, hear muffled speech or experience
any temporary hearing difficulty after listening to your portable audio
device, discontinue use and consult your doctor.

Implantable Medical Devices

A minimum separation of six (6) inches should be maintained between a
wireless phone and an implantable medical device, such as a pacemaker or
implantable cardioverter defibrillator, to avoid potential interference with
the device. Persons who have such devices:

MORE INFORMATION

pg

• Should ALWAYS keep the wireless phone more than six (6) inches from
their implantable medical device when the wireless phone is turned ON;

• Should not carry the wireless phone in a breast pocket;

• Should use the ear opposite the implantable medical device to minimize
the potential for interference;

• Should turn the wireless phone OFF immediately if there is any reason to
suspect that interference is taking place; and

• Should read and follow the directions from the manufacturer of your
implantable medical device.

If you have any questions about using your wireless phone with such a
device, consult your health care provider.

For additional information, see www.fcc.gov/cellphones/.

Drive responsibly

• If you choose to talk while driving, always use a hands-free device. Make
sure your hands-free device is on and working before driving.

• Do not dial or look up phone numbers when driving. Use the voice-
activated feature on your wireless device.

• Using a wireless device while driving may increase your risk of
distraction, whether or not you use a hands-free device. To eliminate this

48

risk, consider turning your wireless device off and allowing calls to go to
Voice Mail.
