SUBJECT

The VX1000 phone has been designed to operate on the latest digital mobile communication
technology, Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA). This CDMA digital technology has greatly
enhanced voice clarity and can provide a variety of advanced features. Currently, CDMA mobile
communication technology has been commercially used in Cellular and Personal
Communication Service (PCS). The difference between them is the operating frequency
spectrum. Cellular uses 800MHz and PCS uses 1.9GHz. The VX1000 can operate on 1.9GHz
or 800 MHz frequency, we usually call it dual-band phone This phone is the one of Digital Dual
mode - 800Mhz CDMA, 1900Mhz PCS, 1500Mhz GPS.

The CDMA technology adopts DSSS (Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum). This feature of
DSSS enables the phone to keep communication from being crossed and to use one frequency
channel by multiple users in the same specific area, resulting that it increases the capacity 10
times more compared with that in the analog mode currently used. Soft/Softer Handoff, Hard
Handoff, and Dynamic RF power Control technologies are combined into this phone to reduce
the call being interrupted in a middle of talking over the phone.

Cellular and PCS CDMA network consists of MSO (Mobile Switching Office), BSC (Base Station
Controller), BTS (Base station Transmission System), and MS (Mobile Station). The following
table lists some major CDMA Standards.

Before You Start

Safety Instructions

WARNING! To reduce the electric shock, do not expose your phone in high humidity areas,

such as the bathroom, swimming pool.
IMPORTANT! Please read the SAFETY AND GENERAL INFORMATION on page 68 prior to
using your phone.

FCC 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 or and approved antenna. Use of unauthorized antennas, modifications
could impair call quality, damage the phone or result in violation of FCC regulations. Do not use
the phone with the damaged antenna. If the damaged antenna comes into contact with the skin,
a minor burn may result. Please contact your local dealer for replacement of the antenna.

Body-worn Operation

This device was tested for typical body -worn operations with the back of the phone kept 0.59
inches (1.5 cm ) from the body. To comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, a minimum
separation distance of 0.59 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. Body -worn
accessories that cannot maintain 0.59 inch (1.5 cm ) separation distance between the user’s body
and the back of the phone, and have not been tested for typical body -worn operations may not
comply with FCC RF exposure limits and should be avoided.

Vehicle Mounted External Antenna (optional, if available.)

A minimum separation distance of 7.9 inches (20 ) must be maintained between the
user/bystander and the vehicle mounted external antenna to satisfy FCC RF exposure
