In August 1996, the Federal
Communications Commission
(FCC) of the United States, with
its action in Report and Order
FCC 96-326, adopted an
updated safety standard for
human exposure to Radio
Frequency (RF) electromagnetic
energy emitted by FCC regulated
transmitters. Those guidelines are
consistent with the safety
standard previously set by both
U.S. and international standards
bodies.
The design of this phone
complies with the FCC guidelines
and these international standards.
Bodily Contact During Operation
This device was tested for typical
Page 15
use with the back of the phone
kept 0.6 inches (1.5 cm) from
the body. To comply with FCC
RF exposure requirements, a
minimum separation distance of
0.6 inches (1.5 cm) must be
maintained between the user’s
body and the back of the phone,
including the antenna, whether
extended or retracted. Thirdparty belt-clips, holsters and
similar accessories containing
metallic components should not
be used. Avoid the use of
accessories that cannot maintain
0.6 inches (1.5 cm) distance
between the user’s body and the
back of the phone and have not
been tested for compliance with
FCC RF exposure limits.
Vehicle-Mounted External
Antenna
(Optional, if available.)
A minimum separation distance of
8 inches (20 cm) must be
maintained between the user/
bystander and the vehicle-mounted
external antenna to satisfy FCC RF
exposure requirements. For more
information about RF exposure,
visit the FCC website at
www.fcc.gov.
Caution
Use only the supplied and
approved antenna. Use of
unauthorized antennas or
modifications could impair call
quality, damage the phone, void
your warranty and/or result in
violation of FCC and IC
regulations.
Do not use the phone with a
damaged antenna. If a damaged
antenna comes into contact with
the skin a minor burn may result.
Contact your local dealer for a
replacement antenna.

TIA (Telecommunications
Industry Association)
Safety Information
The following is the complete
TIA Safety Information for
wireless handheld phones.
Exposure to Radio Frequency
Signal
Your wireless handheld portable
phone 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 Commissions
(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:
Safety
●
ANSI C95.1 (1992) *
●
NCRP Report 86 (1986)
●
ICNIRP (1996)
●
Health Canada, Safety Code
6, 1999.
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, IC Regulations (and
those standards).
Antenna Care
Use only the supplied or an
approved replacement antenna.
Unauthorized antennas,
Safety
89
Page 92
Safety
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:
Do not press the antenna
Safety
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 phones in
90
the areas where you drive and
always obey them. Also, if using
your phone while driving, please
observe the following:
●
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 or the
law 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.
Page 93
Pacemakers
The Health Industry
Manufacturers Association
recommends that a minimum
separation of six inches 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 there is 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.) Optional for each
phone manufacturer.
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.
Safety
91
Page 94
Safety
Health Care Facilities
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 use
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
Safety
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.
92
Aircraft
FCC and Transport Canada
regulations prohibit using your
phone while in the air. 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
Atmosphere
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.
Page 95
Areas with a potentially explosive
atmosphere are often, but not
always marked clearly. Potential
areas may 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.
For Vehicles Equipped with an
Air Bag
An air bag inflates with great
force. DO NOT place objects,
including either 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.
Charger and Adapter
Safety
●
The charger and adapter are
intended for indoor use only.
●
Do not expose the battery
charger or adapter to direct
sunlight or use it in places
with high humidity, such as a
bathroom.
Battery Information and
Care
●
Please dispose of your battery
properly or take it to your
local wireless carrier for
recycling.
●
Do not dispose of your
battery by fire or with
hazardous or flammable
materials.
Safety
93
Page 96
Safety
Safety
94
●
Never use an unapproved
battery since this could
damage the phone and/or
battery and could cause the
battery to explode.
●

long periods of non-use to
maximize battery life.
●
Battery life will vary due to
usage patterns and
environmental conditions.
●
Use of extended backlighting,
MiniBrowser, and data
connectivity kits affect battery
life and talk/standby times.
