Safety Information
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.
International agencies have set standards and recommendations for
the protection of public exposure to RF electromagnetic energy.
•
International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection
(ICNIRP) 1996
Verband Deutscher Elektrotechniker (VDE) DIN-0848
United States Federal Commission, Radio Frequency Exposure
Guidelines (1996)
National Radiological Protection Board of the United Kingdom,
GS 11, 1988
American National Standards Institute (ANSI) IEEE. C95.1-1992
National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements
(NCRP). Report 86
Department of Health and Welfare Canada. Safety Code 6
•
These standards are based on extensive scientific review. For
example, over 120 scientists, engineers, and physicians from
universities, government health agencies, and industry reviewed the
available body of research to develop the updated ANSI Standard.
The design of your phone complies with these standards when used
normally.
Antenna Care
Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna.
Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage
the phone and may violate local agency regulations.

Phone Operation
NORMAL POSITION: Hold the phone as you would any other
telephone. Make sure the antenna is extended fully and rotated to
either the left or right detente. The antenna should be vertical to the
ground and have a clear view of the sky.
TIPS ON EFFICIENT OPERATION: For your phone to operate most
efficiently:
•
Extend and rotate your antenna fully.
Make sure the antenna has a clear view of the sky.
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:
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. When the battery is detached from the phone, your batteries
are packed with a protective battery cover; please use this cover for
storing your batteries when not in use.
All batteries can cause property damage, injury or burns if a
Driving
Check the laws and regulations on the use of wireless telephones in the
areas where 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 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 signals.
However, certain electronic equipment may not be shielded against the
RF signals from your wireless phone.
Safety Information

Mobile.book Page 9 Wednesday, September 9, 1998 3:05 PM
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 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 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 external RF
energy.
Vehicles
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately 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 your vehicle.
Posted Facilities
Turn your phone OFF in any facility where posted notices so require.

Aircraft
Airline regulations prohibit using your phone while in the air.
Switch OFF your phone before boarding an aircraft.
Blasting Areas
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your phone OFF when
in a blasting area or in areas posted:
Turn off two-way radios.
Obey all signs and instructions.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Turn your phone OFF and do not remove your battery when you are in
any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere. Obey all signs and
instructions. Sparks from your battery 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, but are not limited to: fueling areas such
as gasoline stations; below deck on boats; fuel or chemical transfer or
storage facilities; areas where fuel odors are present (for example, if a
gas/propane leak occurs in a car or home); areas where the air
contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders;
and any other area where you normally would 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 in-vehicle wireless equipment
is improperly installed and the air bag inflates, serious injury could
result.

go on your account.
