Technical Details
The VX8360 is an all digital phone
that operates on both Code Division
Multiple Access (CDMA)
frequencies: Cellular services at 800
MHz and Personal Communication
Services (PCS) at 1.9 GHz.
CDMA technology uses a feature
called DSSS (Direct Sequence
Spread Spectrum) that enables the
phone to keep communication from
VX8360 9
Technical Details
being crossed and to use one
frequency channel by multiple
users in the same specific area.
This results in a 10-fold capacity
increase when compared with
analog mode. In addition, features
such as soft / softer handoff, hard
handoff, and dynamic RF power
control technologies combine to
reduce call interruptions.
The Cellular and PCS CDMA
networks consist of MSO (Mobile
Switching Office), BSC (Base
Station Controller), BTS (Base
Station Transmission System), and
MS (Mobile Station).
* TSB -74: Protocol between an IS-
95A system and ANSI J-STD-008
1xRTT system receives twice as
many subscribers in the wireless
section as IS-95. Its battery life is
twice as long as IS-95. High-speed
data transmission is also possible.

FCC RF Exposure Information
WARNING! Read this information
before operating the 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 (RF) 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.
Bodily Contact During Operation
This device was tested for typical
use with the back of the phone kept
0.78 inches (2 cm) from the body. To
comply with FCC RF exposure
requirements, a minimum
separation distance of 0.78 inches
(2 cm) must be maintained between
the user’s body and the back of the
phone, including the antenna,
whether extended or retracted.
Third-party belt-clips, holsters, and
similar accessories containing
metallic components should not be
used. Avoid the use of accessories
that cannot maintain 0.78 inches (2
cm) distance between the user’s
body and the back of the phone and
have not been tested for
compliance with FCC RF exposure
limits.
Vehicle-Mounted External Antenna
(Optional, if available.)
To satisfy FCC RF exposure
requirements, keep 8 inches (20 cm)
between the user / bystander and
vehicle-mounted external antenna.
For more information about RF
exposure, visit the FCC website at
www.fcc.gov.
Caution
Use only the supplied antenna. Use
of unauthorized antennas (or
modifications to the antenna) could
impair call quality, damage the
phone, void your warranty and/or
violate FCC regulations.
Don't use the phone with a
damaged antenna. A damaged
antenna could cause a minor skin
burn.
Contact your local dealer for a
replacement antenna.

Safety
TTIIAA SSaaffeetty
IInnffoorrmmaattiioon
The following is the complete TIA
Safety Information for wireless
handheld phones.
Exposure to Radio Frequency
Signal
Your wireless handheld portable
phone is a low power radio
transmitter and receiver. When ON,
it receives and sends out Radio
Frequency (RF) signals.
In August, 1996, the Federal
Communications Commissions
(FCC) adopted RF exposure
guidelines with safety levels for
handheld wireless phones. Those
guidelines are consistent with the
safety standards previously set by
both U.S. and international
standards bodies:
* American National Standards
Institute; National Council on
Radiation Protection and
Measurements; International
Commission on Non-Ionizing
Radiation Protection
y
n
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.
90 VX8360
Tips on Efficient Operation
For your phone to operate most
efficiently:
Don’t 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.
Driving
Check the laws and regulations on
the use of wireless phones in the
areas where you drive and always
obey them. Also, if using your
phone while driving, please observe
the following:
●
Give full attention to driving -driving safely is your first
responsibility;
●
Use hands-free operation, if
available;
●
Pull off the road and park before
making or answering a call if
driving conditions or the law
require it.
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:
●
Should ALWAYS keep the phone
more than six (6) inches from
their pacemaker when the phone
is turned ON;
●
Should not carry the phone in a
breast pocket;
●
Should use the ear opposite the
pacemaker to minimize the
potential for interference;
●
Should turn the phone OFF
immediately if there is any
reason to suspect that
interference is taking place.
VX8360 91
Safety
Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless phones may
interfere with some hearing aids. In
the event of such interference, you
may want to consult your service
provider (or call the customer
service line to discuss alternatives).
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal
medical device, consult the
manufacturer of your device to
determine if it is adequately
shielded from external RF energy.
Your physician may be able to
assist you in obtaining this
information.
Health Care Facilities
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 use 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.
Potentially Explosive Atmosphere
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.
Areas with a potentially explosive
atmosphere are often, but not
92 VX8360
always marked clearly. Potential
areas may include: fueling areas
(such as gasoline stations); below
deck on boats; fuel or chemical
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.
For Vehicles Equipped with an Air
Bag
An air bag inflates with great force.
DO NOT place objects, including
either 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.

Prolonged exposure to loud sounds
(including music) is the most
common cause of preventable
hearing loss. Some scientific
research suggests that using
portable audio devices, such as
portable music players and cellular
telephones, at high volume settings
for long durations may lead to
permanent noise induced hearing
loss. This includes the use of
headphones (including headsets,
earbuds and Bluetooth®or other
wireless devices). Exposure to very
loud sound has also been
associated in some studies with
tinnitus (a ringing in the ear),
hypersensitivity to sound and
distorted hearing. Individual
susceptibility to noise-induced
hearing loss and other potential
hearing problems varies.
The amount of sound produced by
a portable audio device varies
depending on the nature of the
sound, the device, the device
settings and the headphones. You
should follow some commonsense
recommendations when using any
portable audio device:
l
.
●
Set the volume in a quiet
environment and select the
lowest volume at which you can
hear adequately.
●
When using headphones, turn
the volume down if you cannot
hear the people speaking near
you or if the person sitting next
to you can hear what you are
listening to.
●
Do not turn the volume up to
block out noisy surroundings. If
you choose to listen to your
portable device in a noisy
environment, use noisecancelling headphones to block
out background environmental
noise.
●
Limit the amount of time you
listen. As the volume increases,
less time is required before your
hearing could be affected.
●
Avoid using headphones after
exposure to extremely loud
noises, such as rock concerts,
that might cause temporary
