2. Enter letters.

“Prepending” a Stored Number

“Prepend” is used if you are out of your home
system and need to add the area code to an existing
phone book number. When a phone book entry, call
history entry, or messages callback number shows
up on the display, you can make additions to the
beginning of the original number. However, you
can’t edit the original number during “prepend.”

To “prepend” a number:

means that the backlight is on
whether the earpiece is up or
down. Choosing “always on”

significantly increases
battery drain. “Always off”

means that the backlight is
never on.

39

PAGING, MESSAGING,

AND VOICE MAIL

This feature allows your phone to receive messages
when it is turned on. A single key, , allows you
to access your messages while a four line display
provides for easy viewing. While reading a message,
you can return a call to the callback number
provided in the message simply by pressing

twice.

Messages are stored in the phone’s memory and are
not erased when the phone is turned off. The phone
has the capability of storing up to 23, 40 character
messages. However, the number of messages that
can be stored will be reduced if messages are
greater than 40 characters.

Note

Check with your service provider regarding the
availability of this feature. The information
contained in a message, such as time stamp and
callback number, depends on the mode the phone is
operating in and the service provider’s network
capabilities.

This phone supports three types of messages:

PHONE SAFETY

AND CARE

Background

The hand-held portable personal communication
service telephone is one of the most exciting and
innovative electronic products ever developed. With
it you can stay in contact with your office, your
home, emergency services etc.

Your personal communication service telephone is a
radio transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it
receives and also sends out radio frequency (RF)
energy. The phone operates in the frequency range
of 800MHz to 840MHz (QCP 800) or 1850 MHz to
1990 MHz (QCP 1900). When you use your phone,
the system handling your call controls the power
level at which your phone transmits. The power
level can range from 0.006 of a watt to 0.3 of a watt.

Exposure to Radio Frequency Energy

In 1991, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics
Engineers (IEEE) and in 1992, the American
National Standards Institute (ANSI) updated the
1982 ANSI Standard for safety levels with respect
to human exposure to RF energy. Over 120
scientists, engineers, and physicians from
universities, government health agencies, and
industry, after reviewing the available body of
research, developed this updated standard.

47

In March 1993, The U.S. Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) proposed the adoption of this
updated standard.

The design of the QCP 800/QCP 1900 phone
complies with this updated standard. Of course, if
you want to limit RF exposure even further than the
updated ANSI Standard, you may choose to control
the duration of your calls and operate your phone in
the most power efficient manner.

For Best Performance

To properly operate the phone and maintain safe
and satisfactory service, follow these rules:

• Extend the antenna fully.

• Hold the phone with the antenna up and over
your shoulder.

• Do not hold the phone antenna at any time.

• Do not use the phone with a damaged antenna.

• Speak directly into the mouth piece.

• Use the phone when the car is stopped.

Avoid exposing the phone and accessories to rain or
liquid spills. If the phone gets wet, turn the power
off immediately and remove the battery pack. If the
phone is inoperable, then return it to the dealer for
service.

Only authorized personnel should install or service
the phone and its accessories. Faulty installation or
service may be dangerous and may invalidate the
warranty.

48

Caring for the Battery

For best battery performance, follow these
guidelines:

• Only use QUALCOMM battery packs, model
number TABAT0001, and QUALCOMM
chargers, model numbers TATVL0001 or
TADTC0002. Do not use any other battery pack
or charger.

QUALCOMM’s chargers are designed to
maximize the battery life performance.

• Do not charge the battery pack in temperatures
outside of 32°F to 122°F (0°C to 50°C) because
damage could occur.

• Do not use the battery charger in direct sunlight
or in places with high humidity such as the
bathroom.

• Never dispose of the battery pack by a fire.

• Keep the metal contacts at the top end of the
battery pack clean.

• Do not attempt to disassemble or short circuit
the battery pack.

• You may need to recharge the battery if it has
not been used for a long time.

• Replace the battery when it no longer provides
acceptable performance. The battery pack may be
recharged hundreds of times before it will need to
be replaced.

• Do not store the battery pack for long periods in
places where high temperatures frequently occur.
Follow these storage rules:

less than 1 month: -4°F to 140°F (-20°C to 60°C )
more than 1 month: -4°F to 113°F (-20°C to 45°C)

49

Driving Safety

Talking on the phone while driving is extremely
dangerous and is illegal in some states. Remember,
safety comes first.

Check the laws and regulations on the use of PCS
phones in the areas where you drive. Always obey
them.

When using the phone in the car:

• Give full attention to driving.

• Use hands-free operation.

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

If you must use the phone while driving, please use
one-touch, speed dialing, and auto answer modes.

FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS
MAY LEAD TO SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY
AND POSSIBLE PROPERTY DAMAGE.

Other Safety Guidelines

For the safe and efficient operation of your phone,
observe the following guidelines.

Remember to follow any special regulations in force
in any given area. Always turn off the phone
wherever its use is forbidden or when it may cause
interference or danger.

Electronic Devices

Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from
RF energy. However, RF energy from PCS
telephones may affect inadequately shielded
electronic equipment.

50

RF energy may affect improperly installed or
inadequately shielded electronic operating and
entertainment systems in motor vehicles. Check
with the manufacturer or its representative to
determine if these systems are adequately shielded
from external RF energy.

You should also check with the manufacturer of any
equipment that has been added to your vehicle.

Consult the manufacturer of any personal medical
devices (such as pacemakers, hearing aids, etc.) to
determine if they are adequately shielded from
external RF energy.

Turn off the phone in health care facilities and
request permission before using the phone near
medical equipment.

Aircraft

Turn the phone off before boarding any aircraft. Use
it on the ground only with crew permission. Do not
use it in the air. To prevent possible interference
with aircraft systems, U.S. Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) regulations require you to
have permission from a crew member to use your
phone while the plane is on the ground. To prevent
interference with personal communication service
systems, FCC regulations prohibit using your phone
while the plane is in the air.

Children

Do not allow children to play with your phone. It is
not a toy. Children could hurt themselves or others
(by poking themselves or others in the eye with the
antenna for example). Also, children could damage
the phone or make calls that increase your
telephone bills.

51

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.” Construction
crews often use remote control RF devices to set off
explosives.

Potentially Explosive Atmospheres

Turn your phone OFF when in any area with a
potentially explosive atmosphere. It is rare but your
phone or its accessories could generate sparks.
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 gas stations; below deck on
boats; fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities;
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.

Do not transport or store flammable gas, liquid, or
explosives in the compartment of your vehicle which
contains your phone or accessories.

Vehicles using 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, MA
02269, Attn: Publication Sales Division.
