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.
For the safe and efficient operation of your phone, observe the
following guidelines:
Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) Energy
Your cellular telephone is a radio transmitter and receiver that
receives and sends radio frequency (RF) energy. The phone
operates on a frequency range of 824 MHz to 894 MHz using
commonly employed frequency modulation (FM) techniques.
The power level can range from 0.006 watts to 0.6 watts.
In 1991 the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers
(IEEE) and in 1992 the American National Standards Institute
(ANSI) updated the 1982 ANSI Standard for safety levels with
respect to human exposure to RF energy. In March 1993, the
US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) proposed
adoption of the updated ANSI Standard. The design of your
phone complies with this Standard. If you want to limit RF
Rules, Regulations, and Precautions
exposure even further, you may choose to limit the duration of
calls and operate the phone in the most power efficient manner.
For your phone to operate at the lowest power level, consistent
with good call quality, please observe the following guidelines:
• If your phone has an extendible antenna, extend it fully.
• Hold the phone as you would any other telephone. Speak
directly into the mouthpiece.
• DO NOT hold the antenna while the phone is in use.
40
Page 41
Antenna Care
DO NOT use your phone with a damaged antenna. Use
manufacturer-approved antennas, and have authorized service
centers do the work. Non-manufacturer-approved antennas,
modifications, or attachments could impair call quality, damage
the phone, void your warranty, and violate FCC regulations.
Driving
Check the laws and regulations on the use of cellular telephones in the areas in which you drive. Always obey them.
While driving, follow these guidelines:
• Give full attention to driving.
• Use handsfree operation, if available.
• Pull off the road and park before making or answering a
call if driving conditions require it.
Electronic Devices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF energy;
however, RF energy from cellular telephones may affect
inadequately shielded equipment. Check with the manufacturer to determine if equipment is adequately shielded from
external RF energy. You should also check with the manufacturer of any equipment that has been added to a vehicle.
Consult the manufacturer of any personal medical devices
(such as pacemakers, hearing aids, etc.) to determine if they
are adequately shielded from RF energy.
Turn your phone OFF in health care facilities.
Aircraft
•
Turn your phone OFF before boarding any aircraft.
• Use it on the ground only with the crew’s permission.
• DO NOT use it in the air.
Rules, Regulations, and Precautions
41
Page 42
To prevent interference with aircraft navigation and communications systems, US Federal Aviation Administrations (FAA)
regulations require you to have permission from a crew member
to use your cellular phone while an aircraft is on the ground.
FCC regulations prohibit the operation of cellular phones in
flying aircraft.
Children
Do not allow children to play with your phone. It is not a toy.
Children could hurt themselves or others, damage the phone, or
place expensive accidental calls.
Blasting Areas
Turn your phone OFF whenever you are near a blasting area, or
whenever you see the sign,
tion crews use remote control RF devices to set off explosives.
Turn off two-way radio
. Construc-
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Turn your phone OFF when in any area with a potentially
explosive atmosphere. It is rare, but your phone or its accessories could generate sparks, which could cause an explosion or
fire.
Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres are often, but not
always, clearly marked. They include fueling areas such as gas
stations; below deck on boats; fuel or chemical transfer and
storage facilities; areas where the air contains chemicals or
Rules, Regulations, and Precautions
particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders; and any areas
where you are advised to turn off your vehicle’s engine.
Do not transport or store flammable gas in the compartment of
your vehicle which contains your phone or its accessories.
Vehicles running on liquefied petroleum gas (propane or butane)
must comply with the National Fire Protection Standard (NFPA-
58). For a copy of this Standard contact the National Fire
Protection Association, One Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA
00269, ATTN.: Public Sales Division.
