Radio Frequency (RF) Signals
THIS MODEL PHONE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT’S REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.
Your wireless phone contains a radio transmitter and receiver. Your NEC phone is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio
frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission of the U.S. Government. These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted
levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines are based on standards that were developed by independent scientific organizations through periodic and
thorough evaluation of scientific st udies.
The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR). The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg.*
Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions accepted by the FCC with the phone transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency
bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the phone while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is
because the phone is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the power required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base
station antenna, the lower the output .
Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the limit established by the government-adopted
requirement for safe exposure. The tests are performed on position and locations (for example, at the ear and worn on the body) as required by FCC for each model. The
highest SAR value for this model phone as reported to the FCC when tested for use at the ear is 0.33W/kg in PCS and 0.23W/kg in GSM850 band, and when worn on the
body, is 0.22W/kg in PCS and 0.28W/kg in GSM850 band. (Body-worn measurements differ among phone models, depending upon available accessories and FCC
requirements). While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones and at various positions, they all meet the government requirement.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model phone with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR
information on this model phone is on fil e with the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section at http://ww w.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after search on FCC ID
A98-KMP6J1N1.
For body worn operation, this phone has been tested and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines when used with a NEC accessory designated for this product or when used
with an accessory that contains no meta l and that positions the handset a minimum of 1.5 cm from the body.
* In the United States, the SAR limit for wireless mobile phones used by the public is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue. SAR values may vary depending
upon national reporting requirements and the network band.
*In the United States, the SAR limit for wireless mobile
phones used by the public is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg)
averaged over one gram of tissue. SAR values may vary
depending upon national reporting requirements and
the network band.
12
Electromagnetic Interference
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from radio frequency (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 a minimum separation of six inches (or 15 cm) be maintained between a handheld wireless phone and a
pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with the independent research and recommendations by Wireless Technology Research. Persons with cardiac
pacemakers:
l
Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than s ix inches from their pacemaker when the phone is turned On.
l
Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket.
l
Should place the phone to the ear opposit e the pacemaker to minimize the potential for interferenc e.
l
If you have any reason to suspect RF interference, turn Off your phone immediately and remove the battery.
Whether the phone vibrates, plays a ring tune, or the volume buttons increase/decrease the ring sound, a received call to a wireless phone may interfere with a cardiac
pacemaker.
Hearing Aids
Digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of such interference, consult your wireless service provider.
Other Medical Devices and Medical Facilities
Operation of wireless phones could interfere with medical devices or implanted equipment which are inadequately shielded from external RF energy. Consult a physician or
the manufacturer of the medical device to determine if such devices are adequately shielded.
Turn Off your phone in health care facilities, if 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
Electronic vehicle systems, such as anti-lock brakes, speed control and fuel injection systems are not normally affec ted by radio transmissions. RF signals may affect
improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic systems in motor vehicles. The manufacturer of such equipment can advise if it is adequatel y shielded from radio
transmissions. If you suspect vehicle problems caused by radio transmissions, consult vehicle manufacturer or its representative regarding your vehicle and do not turn On
your phone until it has been checked by qualified approved installers. You should consult the manufact urer of any equipment that has been added to your vehicle.
13
Blasting Areas and Explosive Atmospheres
Turn Off your phone when in a blasting area or areas posted: “Turn Off Two-Way Radio or Wireless Devices.” Obey all signs and instructions. (See Flag.)
Turn Off your phone prior to entering any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere, and obey all signs and instructions. Do not remove, install, or change batteries in
such areas. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death. (See Flag.)
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always, clearly marked. These include fuelling areas such as gasoline stations; below deck on boats; fuel or
chemical transfer or storage facilities; vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such a propane or butane); areas where oxygen is used; 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 turned Off your vehicle engine.
Vehicles Equipped with an Air Bag
An air bag inflates with great force. Do not place objects, including either installed or portable wireless equipment, in the area over the air bag or in the air bag deployment
area. If wireless equipment is improperly installed in the vehicle and the air bag inflates, serious injury could result.
Battery Care and Disposal
Do not leave the phone or the battery in places where the temperature could exceed 140 °F, i.e., on a car dashboard, on a window sill, in direct sunlight, etc.
Do not allow metal objects, such as coins or key rings, to contact or short-circuit the batte ry terminals.
Do not put your phone’s battery in your mouth as battery electrolytes may be toxic, if swallowed.
Do not leave the battery pack empty or disconnected for a long period of time.
Do not dispose of battery packs in a fire.
Keep the battery away from children. It is not a toy and it could be a choking hazard.
Your phone battery is a sealed unit with no serviceable parts inside; do not attempt to open the battery covering.
Use only a battery approved by NEC for the NEC a232 wireless phone.
Using any battery pack or AC adapter not specified by NEC for use with the NEC a232 may be dangerous and may invalidate any approval given to the wireless phone. Do
not connect more than one charger at a ny time.
To ensure the maximum life from your battery, allow the battery to fully discharge at least once a week. To fully disc harge the battery, leave the phone turned on until the
message “RECHARGE BATTERY” is displayed and the phone shuts itself Off. If left unused, a fully charged battery discharges in approximately one month. Store batteries
uncharged in a cool, dark, and dry place.
Batteries must be recycled or disposed of properly. Contact your cellular carrier or check local laws and regulations.
WARNING: Do not swallow the battery. If you do accidentally swallow the battery, call 911 immediately.
O Turn Off the phone and remove the battery
before you enter a hazardous area. The
wireless phone can be a hazard in these areas
even when set in vibrate mode, and the
scheduler or alarm can cause the phone to
power On.
