Important Information

This user’s guide provides important information on the use
and operation of your phone. Please read all the information
carefully prior to using the phone for the best performance and
to prevent any damage to or misuse of the phone. Any
unapproved changes or modifications will void your warranty.

FCC Part 15 Class B Compliance

This device and its accessories comply with part 15 of FCC
rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1)
This device and its accessories may not cause harmful
interference, and (2) this device and its accessories must accept
any interference received, including interference that causes
undesired operation.

Technical Details

The BX4170 is an all digital phone that operates on both Code
Division Multiple Access (CDMA) frequencies: cellular services at
800 MHz and Personal Communication Services (PCS) at 1.9 Ghz.
Also, the BX4170 works on Advanced Mobile Phone Service
(AMPS). We call it a tri-mode phone. Since the phone operates
on Cellular, PCS and AMPS, the call fail rate is less than on a
conventional dual-mode or singlemode phone.

CDMA technology uses a feature called DSSS (Direct Sequence
Spread Spectrum) that enables the phone to keep
communication from being crossed and to use one frequency
channel by multiple users in the same specific area. This results
in a 10-fold capacity increase when compared with analog
mode. In addition, features such as soft / softer handoff, hard
Handoff, and dynamic RF power control technologies combine
to reduce call interruptions.

FCC RF Exposure Information

WARNING! Read this information before operating the phone.

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 use with the back of the
phone kept 3/4 inches (

1.5

cm) from the body. To comply with
FCC RF exposure requirements, a minimum separation distance
of 3/4 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. Third-party belt-clips, holsters, and
similar accessories containing metallic components should not
be used. Avoid the use of accessories that cannot maintain 3/4
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.

*BX4170-(Eng).QXD 04/4/30 7:28 PM Page 10

11

BX4170

Vehicle-Mounted External Antenna

(Optional, if available.)

A minimum 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 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 of antenna.

The Battery

The phone comes with a rechargeable battery. Keep the battery
charged while not in use in order to maximize talk and standby
time. The battery charge level is shown at the top of the LCD
screen.

Installing the Battery

To install the battery, insert the battery into the opening on the
back of the phone. Put the battery cover on the battery and
push it slightly upwards.

Removing the Battery

Turn the power off. While pressing the PUSH button on the back
of the phone, pull the battery cover downwards and remove it.
Then remove the battery by pressing the upper area of it.

Charging the Battery

The desktop charger has a charging slot that accommodates the
phone with the battery attached or the battery by itself.

Warning! Use only the desktop charger provided with the
phone. Using any (desktop) charger other than the one
included with the BX4170 may damage your phone or battery.

1. Plug the charger into a wall outlet. The phone must be
charged from a 120V AC power source.

2. Insert the phone with an installed battery, or the battery by
itself, into the charging slot. The red light indicates the
battery is charging and the green light indicates the battery
is fully charged. The charge time varies depending upon
the battery level. The maximum charge time for a fully
discharged battery is 3 hours.

NOTE: It is important to fully charge the battery before initial use of

the phone.

building, the reception may be better near a window.

NOTE: Like any other radio device, avoid any unnecessary

contact with the antenna while your phone is on.
