Rules and Regulations
The U.S. Federal Communications Commission and the Industry Canada
regulate cellular telephone service in their respective countries. It is
important for you, the cellular telephone user, to observe the applicable
regulations when operati ng your cellula r teleph one in eith er countr y. In
addition to these U.S. and Canadian federal regulations, you may be bound
also by cert ain stat e, pr ovincial, terr ito ria l, a nd loca l r u les an d regulations, a s
well as by your cellular carrier's tariff (the rates, terms, and conditions of its
service). If you wish to use your cellular telephone in both the U.S. and
Canada, please consult with your System Operator.
Furthermore, you should remember that your cellular telephone is a
radiotelephone, - i.e., it combines both wireline technology, as used in your
home or office telephone syste m, and radio technology - and that the scope of
regulations and pr ecautions is t herefo re br oader than the scope of regulation s
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
cellular carrier (System Operator).
License - If your home system is in the U.S., you do not require a separate
license to operate your cellular telephone; obtaini ng a cellular telephon e
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 cellular telephone on both sides of
the border, please contact your cellular carrier (System Operator).
Equipment modifications - The U.S. Federal Communications Commission
has type-approved the model of cellular telephone which you have
purchased, and has allocated a specific frequency range for cellular service.
No changes or adjustments are to be made to your cellular telephone.
The radio equipment shall be made available for inspection upon request by
representatives of the FCC or licensees.
Denial of service - A cellular 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 y ou place or receive a telephone call via the trad itional wir elin e
systems. However, because cellular telephones utilize radio transmissions to
effect calls, the same standard cannot always be assured.
Page 59
Additional Information
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.
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 CDMA 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 1988
MHz. When you use your phone, the cellular system handling your call
controls the power level at whcih your phone transmis.
Exposure to Radio Frequency Energy
Research on health effects from RF energy has focused for many y ears on F M
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 cellular 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 saf ety lev e ls with respe c t to hum an ex po sure to R F
energy. Over 120 scientists, engineers, and physicians from universities,
government health agencies, and industry, reviewed the available research
and 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 t han the updated ANSI Standard,
you may choose to control the duration of your calls and opera te your phon e
in the most power efficient manner.
Efficient Phone Operation
Page 60
62 ▼
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.
Additional Information
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.
Driving
Check the laws and regulations on the use of cellular telephones in the areas
where you drive. Always obey them. Also, when using your phone while
driving, please:
Pay full attention to drivin g
❑
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 cellular 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 fr o m ext ern al RF energy. You should also check wit h 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 informat ion .
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 sensitiv e to ext e rn al R F ene rgy.
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 whi le the plane is on th e gr ound. To prevent
interference with aircraft communication systems, FCC regulations prohibit
using your phone while the plane is in the air.
Children
Do not allow chil dren to play with your ph one. It is not a toy. Children could
hurt themselves or others (by poking themselves or othe rs in the eye with the
antenna, for example). Children also could damage the phone or make calls
that increase your telephone bill.
Blasting Areas
To avoid interfering with blasting operati ons, 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.
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, v ehi cle s using liquefied petroleum gas (s uch 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.
Heat and Sunlight Exposure
Avoid leaving your phone exposed to direct sunlight or extreme heat.
Extended exposure to hea t and/or sunligh t may damage your phon e.
