GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
!
This equipment has to be imperatively installed, tested and serviced by
qualified personnel. Before opening the equipment, always unplug all connectors and
read carefully all safety instructions. Af ter installation or service, the cover must imperatively
be closed and fastened to base with the tie or the screw provided by the manufacturer,
in order to ensure end user safety against electric shocks.
No operator serviceable parts. Refer servicing to qualified personnel. To prevent electric
shocks, do not remove cover.
Safety instructions
Do not allow a child to play with your terminal. He could be injured if he tries to take it
apart (aerial, etc.).
Electronic medical equipment
As with any device which uses radio frequencies, a cellular terminal may adversely affect
the operation of some types of electronic medical equipment if they are not adequately
shielded against interference. This may also apply to medical devices which are carried
in or on the human body (including some types of cardiac stimulator and hearing aids)
and appliances used in the home (dialysis machines in particular).
Contact your doctor or the manufacturer of the device in order to find out whether any
special precautions should be taken.
Potentially explosive areas
Although it can only happen under exceptional circumstances, your terminal or its
accessories are capable of generating sparks which could, in turn, cause an explosion or
start a fire in some potentially hazardous locations (filling stations, etc.). It may also interfere
with remotely-controlled explosive triggering devices, in quarries for example. We therefore
strongly recommend that you do not install your terminal in any of these locations.
The use of your equipment is subject to safety regulations, which are designed to protect
the user and his environment.

GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
Electrical safety
Do not install the terminal in a damp room, bathroom, laundry room or in a kitchen
within 1.5 metres of the sink.
This terminal should be used at temperatures between 5°C and 40°C.
In districts which are subject to frequent storms, use a suitable surge arrester to protect
the terminal against electrical overloads.
Electrical connection: 230 V mains power supply, single-phase alternating current, with
the exception of IT installations as defined in Standard EN 60-950.
Note: As an option, you may have a 110V power supply instead of 230V version.
Before powering on your unit, make sure the mains outlet it is connected to, meets the
requirement printed on the warning label on the separate power supply (voltage, current,
frequency of power network).
Note: the mains power supply voltage is classified as excessive according to the criteria
of Standard EN 41-003. As a precaution, in the event of danger, mains adapters should
act as circuit breakers to isolate the 230 V or 110 V or power supply. They must be
located near the terminal and must be easily accessible.
The equipment must only be used with the mains adapter supplied.
In Europe, this unit includes the
93/68/EEC directives.
Telephone line connection:The telephone line is classified as TNV-2 according to EN
60950. Therefore, the line must not be installed outside the building.
Compatibility with your phone
Before connecting your phone to your digital terminal, check the documentation
supplied with the terminal for any information relating to safety.
Make sure that you only connect the terminal to approved phones and in accordance
with current regulations.
Problems with interference
The terminal is a transmitter which uses radio frequencies. For this reason it may
sometimes receive and generate interference which may adversely affect its own
performance as well as the performance of other electrical equipment in the immediate
vicinity (terminals, television sets, microcomputers, etc.).
Make sure that you carefully follow the instructions for connecting your terminal to the
mains power supply.
Recommendations for emergency numbers
stamp, following the 73/23/EEC, 89/336/EEC and
The terminal operates with the aid of radio signals on cellular and terrestrial networks.
For this reason, it is not possible to guarantee that every call will be put through. In
addition, you cannot rely solely on a wireless device for urgent communications
(medical emergencies for example).

FCC Recommandations Safety information for
Wireless local loop Terminal
Use of your Terminal is subject to safety rules designed to protect the user and his or
her environment.
Exposure to Radio Frequency Signals
Your Wireless local loop Terminal 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 Commissions (FCC) adopted RF
exposure guidelines with safety levels for Wireless Terminal. Those guidelines are
consistent with the safety standards previously set by both U.S. and international
standards bodies:
ANSI C95.1 (1992)*
NCPR Report 86 (1986)*
ICNIRP (1996)*
(*) American National Standards Institute; National Council on Radiation Protection and
Measurements; International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection.
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).
Safety Operation Requirement
Do not operate your Phonecell when any person is within 20 cm of the antenna.
Antenna Care
Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna. Unauthorized antennas,
modifications, or attachments could damage the Terminal and may violate FCC
regulations.
Phone Operation
Tips on efficient operation: for your Terminalto operate most efficiently: do not touch the
antenna unnecessarily when the Terminal is in use. Contact with the antenna affects
call quality and may cause the Terminal to operate at a higher power level than otherwise
needed.
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
Terminal
Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum
separation of six (6) inches be maintained between a Wireless Terminal 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.
ZAMBUUUJO.p65 18/04/02, 16:175
Persons with pacemakers:
•Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than six inches from their pacemaker when the
phone is turned ON;
•If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, turn your Terminal
OFF immediately.
Hearing Aids
Some digital Wireless Terminal may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of
such interference, you may want to consult your service provider.
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 Terminal 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.
Posted Facilities
Don’t install your Wireless Terminal in any facility where posted notices so require.
Blasting Areas
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, Don’t install your Wireless Terminal when
in a ”blasting area” or in areas posted: ”Turn off two-way radio”. Obey all signs and
instructions.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Don’t install your Wireless Terminal when in any area with a potentially explosive
atmosphere and obey all signs ans instructions. 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 gasoline stations; below deck on boats; fuel or
chemincal transfer or storage facilities; vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such
as propane or butane); 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 turn off your vehicle engine.
Electrical Safety
Only use the appropriate chargers recommended in the manufacturer’s catalog. Using
another charger may prove dangerous and could invalidate the warranty of your Wireless
Terminal.
The main power socket should be easily accessible.
Make sure that the main voltage corresponds to the level marked on the charger
identification plate.
General Precautions

temperature limits must be followed during rapid charging. Your Terminal automatically
protects the batteries from extreme temperatures.
If the Wireless Terminal is disconnected from the battery for an extended period of time,
it will lose the time and the recorded messages.
W ARNING
The manufacturer cannot be held liable for any failure to comply with the above
recommendations or for any misuse.
Emergency Calls
IMPORT ANT
This Wireless Terminal, like any PCS phone, operates using radio signals, PCS and
landline networks, and user-programmed functions. As a consequence a connection in
all conditions cannot be guaranted.Therefore you should never rely solely upon any
PCS phone for essential communications (e.g. medical emergencies).
To make or receive any calls, this phone must be switched on and in service area with
adequate PCS signal strength. Emergency calls may not be possible on all PCS
networks or when certain network services and/or phone features are in use. Check
with local Service Providers.
When making an emergency call, remember to give all the necessary information as
accurately as possible. Remember that your PCS Wireless Terminal may be the only
means of communication at the scene of an accident - do not terminate the call until
given permission to do so.
If certain features are in use (such as Keyguard), you may first need to turn those
features off before you can make an emergency call. Consult this manual and your local
PCS Service Provider.
