FCC RF EXPOSURE INFORMATION

WARNING! Read this information before using your phone

In August 1996 the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the United States with its action in Report and Order FCC 96-326 adopted an updated safety standard for human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC regulated transmitters. Those guidelines are consistent with the safety standard previously set by both U.S. and international standards bodies. The design of this phone complies with the FCC guidelines and these international standards.

Use only the supplied or an approved antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could impair call quality, damage the phone, or result in violation of FCC regulations.

Do not use the phone with a damaged antenna. If a damaged antenna comes into contact with the skin, a minor burn may result. Please contact your local dealer for replacement antenna.

Body-worn Operation

This device was tested for typical body-worn operations with the Holster providing a minimal spacing of 2.5 cm. from the body to the back of the terminal/antenna. To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure compliance requirements, use only belt-clips, holsters or similar accessories that maintain a 2.5 cm. separation distance between the user’s body and the back of the terminal, including the antenna. The use of third-party belt-clips, holsters and similar accessories should not contain metallic components in its assembly. The use of accessories that do not satisfy these requirements may not comply with FCC RF exposure compliance requirements, and should be avoided.

For more information about RF exposure, please visit the FCC website at www.fcc.gov

Installing the Battery

1.Open the latches on the battery cover and lift it away from the SPT 1800.

2.Insert the lithium-ion (Liion) battery into the battery compartment, ensuring that it snaps into place.

Latch

3. Replace the battery cover and close the latches.

Note: Keep the battery latches completely open while securing the battery cover.

Charging the Battery

Note: The SPT 1800 battery (p/n 20-36098-01) must be used only with the SPT 1800.

Before using your SPT 1800 for the first time, charge the battery using the cradle, the Synchronization/Charging Cable or the Universal Battery Charger (UBC). For instructions on using the UBC, see the UBC Quick Reference Guide.

Caution: The main battery charges the backup battery in the SPT 1800. Once the battery is fully charged, do not remove it from the SPT 1800 for 24 hours. During this period, the SPT 1800 cannot maintain any user data if the battery is removed from the terminal.

Q u i c k R e f e r e n c e

Using the Cradle to Charge the Battery

1. Ensure the battery is installed in the terminal.

2. Plug the cradle into a wall outlet.

3. Insert the SPT 1800 into the cradle.

The terminal’s battery is fully charged after approximately two hours. You can also charge a spare battery by inserting it into the spare battery charging slot on the back of the single

slot cradle. The spare battery fully charges in approximately two hours. See the CRD 1700

Cradle Quick Reference Guide for more information.

Note: When the battery is fully charged, the cradle’s charging LED lights green. On older CRD 1700 single slot and modem cradles, the charging LED may not illuminate green when the terminal’s battery is fully charged.

Using the Synchronization/Charging Cable to Charge the Battery

1.Ensure the battery is installed in the terminal.

2.Insert the cable into the bottom of the terminal.
