Please read the safety information following before operating the unit.
ESSENTIAL INFORMATION
First introduced in 1984, the handheld portable cellular telephone is one
of the most exciting and innovative electronic products ever developed.
With it, you can stay in contact with your office, your home, emergency
services, and others.
For the safe and efficient operation of the phone, observe these
guidelines.
The cellular telephone is a radio transmitter and receiver. When it is ON,
it receives and also sends out radio frequency (RF) energy. The phone
operates in the frequency range of 824MHz to 894MHz and employs commonly
used frequency modulation (FM) techniques. When you use the phone, the
cellular system handling your call controls the power level at which the
phone transmits. The power level can range from 0.006 of a watt to 0.6 of
a watt.
Exposure to Radio Frequency Energy
In 1991, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), and
in 1992, the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) updated the 1982
ANSI Standard for safety levels with respect to human exposure in RF
energy. Over 120 scientists, engineers, and physicians from universities,
government health agencies, and industry, after reviewing the available
body of research, developed this updated Standard. In March, 1993, the
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) proposed the adoption of this
updated Standard.
The design of the 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
the phone in the most power efficient manner.
Efficient Phone Operation
For the phone to operate at the lowest power level, consistent with
satisfactory call quality:
If the phone has an extendable antenna, extend it fully. Some models allow
you to place a call with the antenna retracted. However, the phone
operates more efficiently with the antenna fully extended.
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. Consult your manual to see if you may change the
antenna yourself. If so, use only a manufacturer approved antenna.
Otherwise, take your phone to a qualified service center for repair.
Use only the supplied or approved antenna. Unauthorized antennas,
modifications, or attachments could damage the phone and may 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
driving, please:
Give full attention to driving.
Use hands-free operation, if available, and
Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if
driving conditions so require.
Electronic Devices
Most modern electronic equipment-for example, equipment in hospitals and
cars-is shielded from RF energy. However, RF energy from cellular
telephones may affect malfunctioning or improperly shielded electronic
equipment.
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.
Turn your phone OFF in health care facilities when any regulations posted
in the areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities
may be using remote RF monitoring equipment.
RF energy may affect malfunctioning or improperly shielded electronic
systems in motor vehicles. Check with your vehicle manufacturer's
representative to determine if they are adequately shielded from external
RF energy.
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, 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 cellular 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.
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, and areas
where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust or
metal powders.
Do not transport or store flammable gas, liquid, or explosives in the
compartment of your vehicle which contains your phone or accessories.
Vehicles powered by 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, Quincy, MA 02269, Attn: Publications Sales Division.
The design of the cellular telephone complies with all applicable RF
Safety Standards.
The unit meets the standards and recommendations for the protection of
public exposure to RF electromagnetic energy established by governmental
bodies and other qualified organizations, such as the following:
National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP).
