Safety Information
Exposure to Radio Frequency Signals
Your wireless handheld portable telephone 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 hand-held wireless phones. Those guidelines are consistent with the safety standards
previously set by both U.S. and international standards bodies:
ü ANSI C95.1 (1992) *
ü NCRP Report 86 (1986)*
ü ICNIRP (1996)*
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).
Antenna Care
Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna. Unauthorized antennas,
modifications, or attachments could damage the phone and may violate FCC regulations.
Phone
Operation
Normal Position:
Hold the phone as you would any other telephone, with the antenna pointed up and over your
shoulder.
Tips on Efficient Operation:
For your phone to operate most efficiently:
"Extend your antenna fully.
"Do not touch the antenna unnecessarily when the phone is in use. Contact with the antenna
affects call quality and may cause the phone to operate at a higher power level than otherwise
needed.
*American National Standards Institute National Council on Radiation Protection and
Measurements International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection

Batteries
Caution: 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 battery
is packed with a protective cover.; please use this cover for storing your battery 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. Also, if using your phone while driving, please:
ü Give full attention to driving-driving safely is your first responsibility
ü Use hands-free operation, if available
ü 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 electronic
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
(6" inches be maintained between a handheld wireless phone 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. Persons
with pacemakers:
ü Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than six inches from their pacemaker when the
phone is turned ON
ü Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket
ü Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for interference.
ü If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, turn your phone
OFF immediately.
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
8
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 FCC 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. Turn your phone OFF
when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere, and obey all signs and instructions.
Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
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 chemical transfer or
storage facilities areas where fuel odors are present, i.e. 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 would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine.
Vehicles Equipped with Air Bags
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.
Equipment Care
Your Telson cellular radiotelephone is designed for excellent durability under normal use
conditions. Protect your cellular telephone from water damage that could result from spills or
excessive exposure to rain. Never submerge your cellular phone.

High Low
The Battery Indicator
In the upper right corner of your phone's display, there is a battery indicator filled with three
segments. The more segments you see, the greater the charge.
Battery Charging Times
The time it takes for your battery to obtain a full charge is affected by a variety of factors,
including:
ü Temperature Batteries should be at or near room temperature when charging.
ü Inactivity New batteries, or batteries that have been stored for long periods of time,
may not rapid charge properly. In these instances, the battery requires an overnight
charge.
11
ü Extended Usage Over extended periods of time, batteries gradually wear down and
require longer charging times.
ü This is normal. If you've been charging your battery regularly and notice a decrease in
talk-time or an increase in charging time, then it's probably time to purchase a new
battery.
Battery Storage and Disposal
To prolong the life of your batteries, avoid exposing them to temperatures below -10¡ÆC (14¡ÆF) or
above 45¡ÆC (113¡ÆF). As a good rule of thumb, always take your phone with you when you leave
your car.
To dispose of batteries, check with your local recycling center for a battery recycler near you.
Never dispose of batteries in fire.
Caution: To prevent injuries or burns, do not allow metal objects to contact or short circuit the
battery terminals.

and numbers for easy access on the go.
In this chapter you will learn how to:
store names and numbers into the Phone Book.
recall phone numbers from memory.
dial in a flash with the Super Speed Dial and Turbo Dial " functions.
simplify automated calling systems.
Follow these symbols as a guide for using the navigation keys.
Making the Most of Memory
Each phone number is stored in a “ memory location” numbered 01-99. You can arrange your
Phone Book for convenient recall by storing related numbers in groups of ten. For example,
store your ten most frequently called numbers in locations 01-09, then you can use the Turbo
Dial "keys to call them with the push of a key. You could store business phone numbers in
locations 10-19, family numbers in 20-29, friends in 30-39, and so on.
You can also store names to help identify phone numbers. Later you can easily recall numbers
either by memory location or by name. If someone you know has more than one phone
number, you could quickly recall the number you need by storing it with a descriptive label, for
example:
When you feel ready for more, try the advanced storing features at the end of the chapter
