Safety Information

Important: Read this information before using your wireless mobile

phone.

Exposure to Radio Frequency Signals

Your wireless mobile telephone is a low power radio transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it receives and also sends out radio frequency (RF) signals.

International agencies have set standards and recommendations for the protection of public exposure to RF electromagnetic energy.

• International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP)1996

• Verband Deutscher Elektrotechniker (VDE) DIN-0848

• United States Federal Commission, Radio Frequency Exposure

Guidelines (1996)

• National Radiological Protection Board of the United Kingdom, GS 11,1988

• American National Standards Institute (ANSI) IEEE. C95. 1-1992

• National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements

(NCRP). Report 86

• Department of Health and Welfare Canada. Safety Code 6

These standards are based on extensive scientific review. For example, over 120 scientists, engineers, and physicians from universities, government health agencies, and industry reviewed the available body of research to develop the updated ANSI standard.

The design of your phone complies with these standards when used as described under “Phone Operation” on page 8.

Antenna Care

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

Phone Operation

Normal Operation: Hold the phone as you would any other telephone.

Rotate the antenna to either the left or right detent, and make sure the antenna is fully extended. The antenna should be vertical to the ground and have a clear unobstructed view of the sky.

Tips on Efficient Operation: For your phone to operate most efficiently:

• Rotate and extend your antenna fully.

• Make sure the antenna has a clear unobstructed view of the sky.

• 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.

• Do not wear the phone on your body while making calls with the headset accessory. Wearing the phone on the body can interfere with proper phone operation, since the antenna requires a clear unobstructed view of the sky to access the Iridium network.

satellite

Batteries

Caution: All batteries can cause property damage, injury or burns if a

conductive material, such as jewelry, keys or beaded chains, touches exposed terminals. The material may complete an electrical circuit and become quite hot. To protect against such unwanted current drain, exercise care in handling any charged battery, particularly when placing it inside your pocket, purse or other container with metal objects. When the battery is detached from the phone, your batteries are packed with a protective battery cover; please use this cover for storing your batteries when not in use.

Driving

Check the laws and regulations on the use of wireless telephones in the areas where you drive. Always obey them. Observe the following guidelines when using your phone while driving.

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

• Use hands-free phone operation, if available.

• Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if

driving conditions so require.

8 Safety Information

Electronic Devices

Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF signals. However, certain equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals from your wireless phone.

Pacemakers

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 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 minimize the

potential for interference

• should turn the phone OFF immediately if you 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 hearing aid manufacturer 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.

Safety Information 9

Posted Facilities

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

Aircraft

Airline regulations prohibit using your phone while in the air. Check and comply with the policy of your airline regarding the use of your phone while the aircraft is on the ground.

Switch OFF your phone 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.

Potentially Explosive Atmospheres

Turn your phone OFF and do not remove your battery when you are in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere. Obey all signs and instructions. Sparks from your battery 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, but are not limited to: fueling areas such as gasoline stations; below deck on boats; fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities; areas where fuel odors are present (for example, if a gas/propane leak occurs in a car or home); areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders; and any other area where you normally would be advised to turn off your vehicle engine.

For Vehicles 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.

Personal Numbers

Fixed Dial Numbers

Phone Number Digits

Name Characters

Location Numbers

16 16

1-100 101-255

Your phone’s memory can seem overwhelming if you do not have a strategy for organizing your Phone Book. Begin setting up your Phone Book by asking yourself three questions:

Which numbers do I call most?

Make a list of the numbers you call most frequently. You will probably want to store these numbers in the first nine memory locations of your Phone Book. You can then dial them with a single keystroke by using one-touch dialing.

Managing the Phone Book 61

Tip:

If you have many entries, group them in blocks of ten to make them easier to find.

When do I use these numbers?

Group the numbers on the list according to when you use them. Most people call a different set of numbers during the day than they do in the evening and on weekends. You can switch one-touch dialing to your phone’s memory (locations 1–9), your SIM card’s memory (locations 101–109), or to your fixed dial list (locations 1–9). Store your evening and weekend numbers on one type of memory and your daytime numbers on another.

Which numbers do I need to keep secure?

Use your SIM card to store the numbers you need to keep secure, like the numbers of friends and family members. You can remove your SIM card and keep it securely in your wallet or purse when you are not using your phone. If you wish, you can even require a PIN code every time your SIM card is inserted into

any

phone. (To deactivate your PIN code, see “Activate and Deactivate the SIM Card PIN Code” on page 135.) Store more public numbers, like business associates and travel agents in your phone’s memory.

Using Pauses in Numbers

When you call automated systems, a recorded message prompts you for numbers such as PIN numbers and account numbers. You can store these numbers in the same memory location as the automated system’s access number. Separate the numbers with “pauses”—special characters that tell your phone to wait a few seconds before sending additional numbers—and store the string in the same way you would other numbers.

the automated system.

Using Phone Number Prefixes

You can save time when you dial by storing the prefixes that you often use. This is sometimes called “postscripting.” Your satellite phone allows you to change or add to Phone Book entries without overwriting them.
