Battery Information
Please read this section in order to understand how to
prolong the life of your battery and prevent damage to
your phone.
Installing and Removing the Battery
Insert the top of the battery into the recess on the back of the

outline
flashes, it is time to recharge.
Charging the Battery
Make sure your battery is fully charged before using it for
the first time. Battery will operate at peak capacity after 3
full charge cycles. Discharge the battery completely
between cycles.
To charge your phone's battery, connect the AC rapid charger
to the socket at the base of the phone and to a standard 120
volt AC outlet. The Battery Level Indicator flashes.
To prolong the life of your battery, allow it to discharge fully
once a week. A charged battery discharges on its own in about
a month of no use. If you do not plan to use your phone for an
extended period (more than a month), remove the battery and
store it in a cool, dry place.
Important: Use of non-Mitsubishi batteries, chargers,
antennas, or vehicle power adapters may damage
your Mitsubishi cellular phone.

Rules, Regulations, and Precautions
First introduced in 1984, the handheld portable cellular telephone is one of the most exciting and innovative electronic
products ever developed. With it you can stay in contact with
your office, home, emergency services, and others.
WARNING!! Please do not use your Mitsubishi wireless telephone if you may be distracted from another activity (such as
driving a motor vehicle or walking across the street) and create
a safety hazard to yourself and others. Use your wireless
telephone responsibly. Be alert to your surroundings whenever
you operate your wireless telephone.
For the safe and efficient operation of your phone, observe the
following guidelines:
Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) Energy
Your wireless handheld portable telephone is a low power radio
transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it receives and also
sends out radio frequency signals.
In August, 1996, the Federal Communications Commission
(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 standard bodies:
ANSI C95.1 (1992)*
NCRP Report 86 (1986)*
ICNIRP (1996)*
* American National Standards Institute; National Council on
Radiation Protection and Measurements; International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection.
Rules, Regulations and Precautions
27
Page 28
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).
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 antenna pointed up and over your shoulder.
TIPS ON EFFICIENT OPERATION: For your phone to operate
most efficiently:
• Do not touch the antenna unnecessarily when the phone is
in use. Contact with the antenna affects call quality and may
cause the phone to operate at a higher power level than
otherwise needed.
Driving
Check the laws and regulations on the use of wireless tele-
Rules, Regulations and Precautions
phones in the areas in which you drive. Always obey them.
Also, if using your phone while driving, please:
• Give full attention to driving--driving safely is your first
responsibility;
• Use handsfree operation, if available;
• Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call
if driving conditions so require.

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.
Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends
that a minimum separation of six (6") inches be maintained
between a handheld wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid
potential interference with the pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with the independent research by and
recommendations of Wireless Technology Research.
Persons with pacemakers:
• Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than six inches from
their pacemaker when the phone is turned on;
• Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket;
• Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the
potential for interference;
• If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking
place, turn your phone OFF immediately.
Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing
aids. In the event of such interference, you may want to consult
with the service provider (or call the customer service line to
discuss alternatives.)

Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of your device to determine if they are adequately
shielded from external RF energy. Your physician may be able
to assist you in obtaining this information.
Turn your phone OFF in health care facilities when any regulations posted in these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or
health care facilities may be using equipment that could be
sensitive to RF energy.
Vehicles
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadeqately
shielded electronic systems in motor vehicles. Check with the
manufacturer or its representative regarding your vehicle. You
should also consult the manufacturer of any equipment that has
been added to you vehicle.
Posted Facilities
Turn your phone OFF in any facility where posted notices so
require.
Aircraft
FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while in the air.
Switch your phone OFF before boarding an aircraft.
Blasting Areas
Rules, Regulations and Precautions
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your phone
OFF when in a blasting area, or in areas posted
radio
. Obey all signals and instructions.

Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Turn your phone OFF when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere and obey all signs and instructions. Sparks in
such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily
injury or even death.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not
always clearly marked. They include fueling areas such as
gasoline stations; below deck on boats; fuel or chemical transfer
or storage facilities; vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such
as propane or butane); areas where the air contains chemicals
or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders; and any
other area where you would normally be advised to turn off
your vehicle engine.
For Vehicles Equipped With an Air Bag
An air bag inflates with great force. DO NOT place objects,
including both installed or portable wireless equipment, in the
area over the air bag or in the air bag deployment area. If invehicle wireless equipment is improperly installed and the air
bag inflates, serious injury could result.
