Exposure to Radio Frequency Signals
Your wireless 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
Do not operate your mobile telephone when a person is within 8 inches
(20 centimeters) of the antenna.
A person or object within 8 inches (20 centimeters) of the antenna could
impair call quality and may cause the phone to operate at a higher
power level than necessary and expose that person to RF energy in
excess of that established by the FCC RF Exposure Guidelines.
Batteries
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. 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.
Driving
Check the laws and regulations on the use of wireless telephones in the
areas where you drive. Always obey them. Observe the following
guidelines when using your phone while driving.
•
Give full attention to driving—driving safely is your first
responsibility.
•
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 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 inches (6") be maintained between a wireless
phone's antenna 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.
Safety Information
•
•
9570.book Page vii Monday, March 15, 1999 4:43 PM
Persons with pacemakers:
should ALWAYS keep the phone more than six inches from their
pacemaker when the phone is turned ON
should turn the phone OFF immediately if you have any reason to
suspect that interference is taking place
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.
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 radio.” Obey all
signs and instructions.
vii
9570.book Page viii Monday, March 15, 1999 4:43 PM
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.

Using a SIM Card
You can use shared SIM (Subscriber Identity
Module) cards with the 9570 Portable Dock. A SIM
card contains your telephone number, system
authentication, service details, and memory for
storing Phone Book entries and messages.
You can insert a SIM card in the
9570 Portable Dock, in the 9500 Portable Phone, or
both.
Whenever the 9570 Portable Dock needs to access
a SIM card, it initially looks for the card in the
auxiliary SIM card slot. If it doesn’t locate a SIM
card in the auxiliary SIM card slot, the
9570 Portable Dock then looks for a card in the
9500 Portable Phone.
If there are SIM cards in both the auxiliary SIM card
slot and the phone, the 9570 Portable Dock uses
the card in the auxiliary SIM card slot.
Note: If you have activated your phone’s SIM card
PIN code, the card is secure while the phone is
docked. No one else can use the phone’s SIM card
without the card’s required PIN security code.
Note: You cannot remove a SIM card from the
9500 Portable Phone when the phone is docked
and locked.
If neither the phone nor the 9570 Portable Dock
contains a SIM card, only emergency calls are
allowed. (See the
Guide
for more information.)
