Safety instructions
TIA's Safety Information
This includes complete security information on wireless phones from TIA
(Telecommunications Industry Association).
It's required, for CTIA Certification, the inclusion in the user manual of
text covering pacemakers, hearing aids and other medical devices. It's
encouraged the use of the remaining TIA language when relevant.
Exposure to Radio Frequency Signal
Your wireless handheld portable telephone is a lowpower 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:
ANSI C95.1 (1992) *
NCRP Report 86 (1986)
ICNIRP (1996)
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).
* American National Standards Institute; National Council on Radiation
Protection and Measurements; International Commission on Non-
Ionizing Radiation Protection.
The design of your phone complies with the FCC guidelines (and those
standards).
12
Antenna Care
Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna. Unauthorized
antennas, 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.
Suggestions for a more efficient operation
For your phone to operate most efficiently:
•
Do not touch the antenna unnecessarily, when the phone is in use.
The contact with the antenna affects call quality, and may cause the
phone to operate at a higher power level than otherwise would be
need.
Driving
Check the laws and regulations related to the use of wireless phones in
the areas where you drive. Always obey these regulations. Also, if using
your phone while driving, make sure to:
•
Pay 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 demand so.
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.
13
Pacemaker
The Medical Industry Manufacturers Association recommends a minimum
distance of fifteen (15) centimeters, or six (6) inches, between a handheld
wireless phone and a pacemaker, in order to avoid potential interference
between them.
These advices are consistent with independent researches, and with
recommendations based on wireless technology research.
People with pacemakers should:
•
ALWAYS keep the phone at least fifteen centimeters (six inches) from
their pacemaker, whenever the phone is turned on;
•
Not carry the phone in a shirt pocket;
•
Use the ear opposite to the pacemaker, to minimize the potential
interference;
•
If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place,
switch off your phone immediately.
Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In the
event of such interference, we recommend that you contact your service
provider.
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical devices, consult your device
manufacturer to determine if they are adequately shielded from external
RF energy. Your doctor can help you obtain this information.
Health Care Facilities
Turn off your phone in health care facilities, whenever there are signs
asking you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may use equipment
that could be sensitive to external RF energy.
14
Vehicles
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded devices
in motor vehicles.
Check with the manufacturer, or its representative, regarding your vehicle.
You should also consult the manufacturer about any equipment that has
been added to your vehicle.
Facilities with signs
Turn off the phone in any facility where warning signs request you to do
so.
Airplanes
FCC regulations prohibit the use of phones while in the air. Turn off your
phone before boarding an airplane.
Blasting Areas
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your phone off when in
a 'blasting area' or in areas with signs that read: 'Turn off two-way radios'.
Obey all signs and instructions.
Potentially Explosive Atmosphere
Turn off the phone when in an area with a potentially explosive
atmosphere, and obey all signs and instructions.
Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire that could result in
personal injury or death.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often clearly marked,
but not always. Among the potentially dangerous areas are:
Fueling areas (such as gas stations), areas below deck on boats, facilities
where chemical products are transferred or stored, vehicles using liquefied
petroleum gas (as propane or butane), areas where the air contains
chemicals or particles (such as grain, dust or metal powders), and any
other areas where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle
engine.
15
For vehicles equipped with air bags
Air bags inflate with strong force. Do not place objects in the area over
the air bag or in its deployment area, including wireless equipment, either
installed or portable.
Serious injuries could occur if wireless equipment is improperly installed
into the car when the air bag inflates.
Safety Information
