Rules and regulations
The U.S. Federal Communications Commission
and the Industry Canada regulate PCS telephone
service in their respective countries. It is
important for you, the PCS telephone user, to
observe the applicable regulations when
operating your PCS telephone in either country.
In addition to these U.S. and Canadian federal
regulations, you may be bound also by certain
state, provincial, territorial, and local rules and
regulations, as well as by your PCS carrier’s tariff
(the rates, terms, and conditions of its service). If
you wish to use your PCS telephone in both the
U.S. and Canada, please consult with your
System Operator.
Furthermore, you should remember that your
PCS telephone is a radiotelephone, — i.e., it
combines both wireline technology, as used in
your home or office telephone system, and radio
technology — and that the scope of regulations
and precautions is therefore broader than the
scope of regulations and precautions relating to
wireline-only telephone usage.
Some of the major points of consideration are set
out below. Please note, however, that these “Rules
and Regulations" and "Safety Precautions” sections
do not constitute legal advice, and are intended
merely for general information purposes. If you
have specific questions, please contact your PCS
carrier (System Operator).
License — If your home system is in the U.S., you
do not require a separate license to operate your
PCS telephone; obtaining a PCS telephone access
number is sufficient to register you as a user. If
your home system is in Canada, a separate license
is required; your carrier will assist you in the
licensing process. If you wish to use your PCS
telephone on both sides of the border, please
contact your PCS carrier (System Operator).
4
Page 5
Equipment modifications — The U.S. Federal
Communications Commission has type-approved
the model of PCS telephone which you have
purchased, and has allocated a specific frequency
range for PCS service. No changes or adjustments
are to be made to your PCS telephone.
The radio equipment shall be made available for
inspection upon request by representatives of the
FCC or licensees.
Denial of service — A PCS carrier may deny
service temporarily or terminate service for
violation of any government regulations or
violation of its tariff.
Privacy — As a telephone user, you have come to
assume a certain standard of privacy when you
place or receive a telephone call via the
traditional wireline systems. However, because
PCS telephones utilize radio transmissions to
effect calls, the same standard cannot always be
assured. While it is unlawful for any
unauthorized person to divulge or use any
information obtained from intercepting or
“listening in on” conversations intended for
others, you should not assume that your
conversation is completely secure. Commercially
available scanning equipment can permit a third
party to monitor the radio channels used for PCS
telephone calls.
Interference — No person shall interfere with, or
cause interference to, any radio communication
or signal.

Safety precautions
IMPORTANT
For safe and efficient operation of your phone,
observe these guidelines.
Your hand-held portable PCS telephone uses
digital Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA)
technology. CDMA is a newer radio frequency
(RF) technology than the FM technology that has
been used for radio communications for decades.
Your portable PCS telephone is a radio transmitter
and receiver. When the phone is ON, it receives
and sends out radio frequency (RF) energy. The
phone operates in the frequency range of 1851
MHz to 1989 MHz. When you use your phone, the
PCS system handling your call controls the mode
of operation and the power level at which your
phone transmits. The power is transmitted as a
digitally coded waveform at a rate varying from
100 Hz to 800 Hz. The average power can range
from about 0.01 µW to about 300 mW.
Exposure to radio frequency energy
Research on health effects from RF energy has
focused for many years on FM radio technology.
That research and studies regarding newer radio
technologies, such as CDMA, have found no
credible scientific evidence that adverse health
effects result from the use of PCS telephones.
The Institute of Electrical and Electronics
Engineers (IEEE) in 1991, and The American
National Standards Institute (ANSI) in 1992,
updated the 1982 ANSI Standard for safety levels
with respect to human exposure to RF energy.
Over 120 scientists, engineers, and physicians
from universities, government health agencies,
and industry, reviewed the available research and
6
Page 7
developed this updated Standard. In March 1993,
the U.S. Federal Communications Commission
(FCC) proposed the adoption of this updated
Standard.
The design of your phone complies with this
updated Standard. Of course, if you want to limit
RF exposure even further than the updated ANSI
Standard, you may choose to control the duration
of your calls and operate your phone in the most
power efficient manner.
Efficient phone operation
For your phone to operate at the lowest power
level consistent with satisfactory call quality,
please observe the following guidelines:
Your phone has an extendable antenna; extend it
fully whenever possible for maximum efficiency.
Hold the phone as you would any other
telephone. While speaking directly into the
mouthpiece, position the antenna up and over
your shoulder. Do not hold the antenna when the
phone is in use. Holding the antenna affects call
quality and may cause the phone to operate at a
higher power level than needed.
Antenna care and replacement
Do not use the phone with a damaged antenna. If
a damaged antenna comes into contact with the
skin, a minor burn may result. Replace a
damaged antenna immediately. Take your phone
to an authorized service center for repair.
Use only the supplied or approved antenna.
Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or
attachments could impair call quality, damage
the phone, and violate FCC regulations.
7
Page 8
Driving
Check the laws and regulations on the use of
PCS telephones in the areas where you drive.
Always obey them. Also, when using your
phone while driving, please:
• pay full attention to driving;
• 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, RF energy from PCS
telephones may affect some electronic equipment.
RF energy may affect improperly installed or
inadequately shielded electronic operating and
entertainment systems in motor vehicles. Check
with the manufacturer or its representative to
determine if these systems are adequately
shielded from external RF energy. You should
also check with the manufacturer of any
equipment that has been added to your vehicle.
Medical devices
Consult the manufacturer of any personal
medical devices (such as pacemakers, hearing
aids, etc.) 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 regulations posted in the areas instruct you
to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be
using equipment that could be sensitive to
external RF energy.
8
Page 9
Aircraft
Turn your phone OFF before boarding any
aircraft.
• Use it on the ground only with crew
permission.
• Do not use in the air.
To prevent possible interference with aircraft
systems, U.S. Federal Aviation Administration
(FAA) regulations require you to have permission
from a crew member to use your phone while the
plane is on the ground. To prevent interference
with PCS systems, FCC regulations prohibit
using your phone while the plane is in the air.
Children
Do not allow children to play with your phone. It
is not a toy. Children could hurt themselves or
others (by poking themselves or others in the eye
with the antenna, for example). Children also
could damage the phone or make calls that
increase your telephone bills.
Blasting areas
To avoid interfering with blasting operations,
turn your unit OFF when in a “blasting area” or
in areas posted: “Turn off two-way radio.”
Construction crews often use remote control RF
devices to set off explosives.
Potentially explosive atmospheres
Turn your phone OFF when in any area with a
potentially explosive atmosphere. It is rare, but
your phone or its accessories could generate
sparks. Sparks in such areas could cause an
explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even
death.
9
Page 10
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere
are often, but not always, clearly marked. They
include fueling areas such as gas stations; below
deck on boats; fuel or chemical transfer or storage
facilities; 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’s
engine.
Do not transport or store flammable gas, liquid,
or explosives in the compartment of your vehicle
which contains your phone or accessories.
In the United States, vehicles using liquefied
petroleum gas (such as propane or butane) must
comply with the National Fire Protection
Standard (NFPA-58). For a copy of this standard,
contact the National Fire Protection Association,
One Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269, Attn:
Publication Sales Division.
In Canada, vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas
(such as propane or butane) must comply with
the Canadian Gas Association (CAN/CGSB149.2). For a copy of this standard, contact the
Canadian Standards Association, 178 Rexdale
Blvd., Etobicoke, ON M9W 1R3, Attn: Standard
Sales Department.
