Before You Start

Safety Instructions

WARNING! To reduce the possibility of electric shock,

do not expose your phone to high humidity areas, such
as the bathroom, swimming pool, etc.

Always store your phone away from heat. Never
store your phone in settings that may expose it to
temperatures less than 32°F (0°C) or greater than
113°F (45°C), such as outside during extreme weather
conditions or in your car on a hot day. Exposure to
excessive cold or heat will result in malfunction, damage
and/or catastrophic failure.

Be careful when using your phone near other
electronic devices. RF emissions from your mobile

phone may affect nearby in adequately shielded
electronic equipment. You should consult with
manufacturers of any personal medical devices such as
pacemakers and hearing aides to determine if they are
susceptible to interference from your mobile phone. Turn
off your phone in a medical facility or at a gas station.
Never place your phone in a microwave oven as this will
cause the battery to explode.

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.

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 skin, a minor burn may result.
Contact your local dealer for a replacement antenna.

Body-worn Operation

This device was tested for typical body-worn operations
with the back of the phone kept 1.5cm (0.59 inches)
between the user’s body and the back of the phone. To
comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, a minimum
separation distance of 1.5cm (0.59 inches) must be
maintained between the user’s body and the back of
the phone. Third-party belt-clips, holsters, and similar
accessories containing metallic components may not
be used. Body-worn accessories that cannot maintain

1.5cm (0.59 inches) 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.

Part 15.19 statement

This device complies with part15 of FCC rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

(1) This device may not cause harmful interference.
(2) This device must accept any interference received,

including interference that may cause undesired
operation.

Part 15.21 statement

Changes or modifications that are not expressly
approved by the manufacturer could void the user’s
authority to operate the equipment.

Part 15.105 statement

This equipment has been tested and found to comply
with the limits for a class B digital device, pursuant to
Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a residential
installation.
This equipment generates uses and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. However, there
is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation.

59

If this equipment does cause harmful interference or
television reception, which can be determined by turning
the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to
try to correct the interference by one or more of the
following measures:

d

Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

d

Increase the separation between the equipment and
receiver.

d

Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit
different from that to which the receiver is connected.

d

Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV
technician for help.

Cautions for Battery

d

Do not disassemble or open crush, bend or deform,
puncture or shred.

d

Do not modify or remanufacture, attempt to insert
foreign objects into the battery, immerse or expose
to water or other liquids, expose to fire, explosion or
other hazard.

d

Only use the battery for the system for which it is
specified.

60

d

Only use the battery with a charging system that has
been qualified with the system per this standard. Use
of an unqualified battery or charger may present a
risk of fire, explosion, leakage, or other hazard.

d

Do not short circuit a battery or allow metallic
conductive objects to contact battery terminals.

d

Promptly dispose of used batteries in accordance
with local regulations.

d

Battery usage by children should be supervised.

d

Avoid dropping the phone or battery. If the phone or
battery is dropped, especially on a hard surface, and
the user suspects damage, take it to a service center
for inspection.

d

Improper battery use may result in a fire, explosion
or other hazard.

d

For those host devices that utilize a USB port as a
charging source, the host device’s user manual shall
include a statement that the phone shall only be
connected to products that bear the USB-IF logo or
have completed the USB-IF compliance program.

Adapter (Charger) Cautions

d

Using the wrong battery charger could damage your
phone and void your warranty.

d

The adapter or battery charger is intended for indoor
use only.

Do not expose the adapter or battery charger to direct
sunlight or use it in places with high humidity, such as
the bathroom.

Avoid damage to your hearing

d

Damage to your hearing can occur if you are exposed
to loud sound for long periods of time. We therefore
recommend that you do not turn on or off the
handset close to your ear. We also recommend that
music and call volumes are set to a reasonable level.

d

If you are listening to music while out and about,
please ensure that the volume is at a reasonable
level so that you are aware of your surroundings. This
is particularly imperative when attempting to cross
the street.

Safety Guidelines

TIA Safety Information

Provided herein is the complete TIA Safety Information
for Wireless Handheld phones. Inclusion of the text
covering Pacemakers, Hearing Aids, and Other Medical
Devices is required in the owner’s manual for CTIA
Certification. Use of the remaining TIA language is
encouraged when appropriate.

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,

62

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).

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 phone held upright.
