CC RF Exposure Information
WARNING! Read this information before
operating the phone.
In August 1996, the Federal Communications (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.
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 antenna.

NP3100_Eng 04/11/20 9:29 AM Page 8
Bodily Contact During Operation
This device was tested for typical usage with the back of
the phone kept 3/4 in (2 cm) from the body. To comply
with FCC RF exposure requirements, a minimum separation distance of 3/4 inches (2 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 in
(2 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 distance of 8 in (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.

Chapter 1 Getting Started
NP3100_Eng 04/11/20 9:29 AM Page 12
Do not short-circuit the battery contacts. A short circuit can
occur when a metallic object such as a coin, clip or pen contacts the metal terminals of the battery. A short circuit of the
terminals may damage the battery, the phone, the object
causing the short circuit and may result in heat, fire, or catastrophic failure such as an explosion.
Always replace the rubber cap on the receptacle located at
the base of your phone when the receptacle does not need
to be accessed. Short-circuit may be caused by the contact
with the metallic articles such as a coin and clip or pen and
may result in heat, fire, or catastrophic failure such as an
explosion.
Do not disassemble the battery as it may cause electric
shock, short-circuit, or fire.
Do not expose the phone to excessive vibration or a sharp
impact.
Never place your phone in a microwave oven as it will
cause the battery to explode.
General Warnings and Cautions
Store the battery in a place out of reach of children.
Using a damaged battery or placing a battery in your mouth
may cause serious injury.
Do not place items containing magnetic components such
as a credit card, phone card, bank book or a subway ticket
near your phone. The magnetism of the phone may damage the data stored in the magnetic strip.
Do not hold or let the antenna come in contact with your
body during a call.
