GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION
IMPORTANT
Read This Information Before Using Your
Hand-held Portable Cellular Telephone
First introduced in 1984, the hand-held 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, your home, emergency services, and others.
For the safe and efficient operation of your phone, observe these guidelines.
Your cellular telephone is a radio transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it receives and also sends out radio frequency (RF) energy. The phone operates in the frequency range of 824 MHz to 894 MHz and employs commonly used frequency modulation (FM) techniques. When you use your phone, the cellular system handling your call controls the power level at which your phone transmits. The power level can range from 0.006 of a watt to 0.6 of a watt.
Exposure to Radio Frequency Energy
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 in RF energy. Over 120 scientists, engineers, and physicians from universities, government health agencies, and industry, after reviewing the available body of research, developed this updated Standard. In March 1993, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) proposed the adoption of this updated Standard.
The design of your phone complies with this updated Standard. If you want to limit RF exposure even further, you may choose to con­trol the duration of your calls and operate your phone in the most power efficient manner.
Efficient Phone Operation
For your phone to operate at the lowest power level consistent with satisfactory call quality. Please observe the following guidelines.
If your phone has an extendable antenna, extend it fully. Some models allow you to place a call with the antenna retracted. However, your phone operates more efficiently with the antenna fully extended.
Hold the phone as you would any other telephone. While speak­ing directly into the mouthpiece, position the antenna up and over your shoulder.
6
GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION
GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION
Do not hold the antenna when the phone is in use. Holding the antenna affects call quality and may cause the phone to operate at a higher power level than needed.
Antenna Care and Replacement
Use only the supplied or approved antenna. Non-approved anten­nas, modifications, or attachments could impair call quality, dam­age the phone and violate FCC regulations.
Driving
Check the laws and regulations on the use of cellular telephones in the areas where you drive. Always obey them. Also, when using your phone while driving, please:
• Give full attention to driving,
• Use hands-free operation, if available, and
• Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving conditions so require.
Electronic Devices
Most modern electric equipment—for example equipment in hos­pitals and cars—is shielded from RF energy. However, RF energy from cellular telephones may affect malfunctioning or improperly shielded electronic equipment.
RF energy may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic operating and entertainment systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or its representative to determine if these systems are adequately shielded from external RF energy. You should also check with the manufacturer of any equipment that has been added to your vehicle.
Consult the manufacturer of any personal medical devices (such as pacemakers, hearing aids, etc.) to determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF energy.
Turn your phone OFF in health care facilities when any regulations posted in the areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using remote RF monitoring equipment.
Aircraft
Turn your phone OFF before boarding any aircraft.
• Use it on the ground only with crew permission.
• Do not use in the air.
7
GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION
To prevent possible interference with aircraft systems, Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations require you to have per­mission from a crew member to use your phone while the plane is on the ground. To prevent interference with cellular systems, FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while the plane is in the air.
Children
Do not allow children to play with your phone. It is not a toy. Children could hurt themselves or others (by poking themselves or others in the eye with the antenna, for example). Children also could damage the phone, or make calls that increase your tele­phone bills.
Blasting Areas
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your unit OFF when in a blasting area or in areas posted:
“Turn off two-way
radio”. Construction crews often use remote control RF devices to set off explosives.
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. 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 gas sta­tions, below deck on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facil­ities, and 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.
Do not transport or store flammable gas, liquid, or explosives in the com­partment of your vehicle which contains your phone or accessories.
Vehicles powered by liquefied petroleum gas (such as 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 02269, Attn: Publications Sales Division.
Magnetic Storage Media
Your phone contains a magnet. Do not place your phone in close proximity to magnetic storage media such as diskettes or credit cards for extended periods of time.
Batteries CAUTION: To prevent injuries or burns, do not allow metal objects
to contact or short circuit the battery terminals.
