Hand-Held Portable PCS Telephone
Safety
IMPORTANT
Read this information before using
your PCS Telephone.
Exposure To Radio Frequency Signals
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
(RF) signals.
In August, 1996 the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) adopted RF
exposure guidelines with safety levels for hand-held 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).
The design of your phone complies with the FCC guidelines (and those
standards).
*American National Standard Institute; National Council on Radiation
Protection and Measurements; International Commission on Non-Ionizing
Radiation Protection
*
*
*
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:
• Extend your antenna fully.
• 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.
Batteries
Caution: All batteries can cause property damage, injury or burns if a conductive
material, such as jewelry, keys or beaded chains, touches exposed terminals. The
material may complete an electrical circuit and become quite hot. To protect
against such unwanted current drain, exercise care in handling any charged
battery, particularly when placing it inside your pocket, purse or other container
with metal objects. Your batteries are packed with a protective battery cover.
When the battery is detached from the phone, please use this cover for storing
your battery when not in use.
Safety
5
Driving
Check the laws and regulations on the use of PCS and cellular telephones in
the areas where you drive. Always obey them. Also, if using the phone while
driving, please:
•
Give 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 so require.
Electronic Devices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF energy. 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
• 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 your hearing aid
manufacturer to discuss alternatives.
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of your
device to determine if it is adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your
physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this information.

Calling an Embedded Number in a Message
See ‘Return Call’ on page 46 for details on how to call a number
embedded in a message.
International Phone Calls
To make an international phone call, press and hold 0. After
a few seconds, the international dialing prefix
+ will appear in the
display; this allows you to call from any country without knowing
the local international access code.
Now enter the country code, followed by the phone number. The
country code follows the conventional format, 49 for Germany,
44 for the UK, 46 for Sweden, etc.
Just like a conventional international call, remove the leading '0'
of the area code when you dial.
Inserting Pauses Into Phone Numbers
When you call automated systems, a recorded message prompts you
for PIN numbers, account numbers, etc. You can store these numbers
in the same memory location as the automated system’s access
number. Just separate the numbers with “pauses”– special characters
that tell your phone to wait before sending additional numbers – and
store or dial the string in the same way you would other numbers.
To insert a pause, just press and hold * for a couple of
seconds. You will see the pause symbol
Ü.

Pauses tell your phone to wait for three seconds before sending
the next string of numbers. Your phone will not begin the three
second delay for the first pause until the call is answered.
Pause - A Working Example.
If you had a tone-based voicemail system with an access number
of 555-6911, a mailbox number of 1066, and a password of
2001, you could enter the following:
5556911Ü1066Ü2001O.
Your phone would dial
5556911. When the call was answered,
your phone would wait three seconds before sending the tones
for
1066 to select the mailbox.
After another pause of three seconds, your phone would send
the tones for the password
2001.
Phone Mute
You can activate or deactivate the phone mute feature by
pressing the M key during a call. Scroll to the
