IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Read before using your PCD2000 cellular telephone.

The PCD2000 is a radio transmitter and receiver.  When the phone is on,
the antenna is the part of the phone that sends out and receives radio
frequency (RF) energy in the 824 to 894 MHz range using common frequency
modulation (FM) techniques.  When you use your phone, the cellular system
handling your call controls the power level (usually 0.006 watts to 3
watts) at which your phone transmits.

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 to 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 Communication Commission (FCC) proposed the adoption of this
updated Standard.  For the safe and efficient operation of your phone,
observe these guidelines.

1.  Warning:  Uniden America Corporation does not represent this unit to
              have been waterproof.  To reduce the risk of electrical shock,
              fire hazard, or damage to the unit, do not expose to rain
              or moisture.

2.  Do not operate this cellular phone when holding the antenna, or when
    any person is within 4 inches of the antenna.  To limit RF exposure,
    control the duration of your calls.

3.  Do not use the phone with a damaged antenna.  If a damaged antenna 
    comes into contact with the skin, a minor burn may result.  If the
    antenna is damaged, replace it with a Uniden-approved antenna before
    operating the phone.  Contact your Uniden dealer for more information.

4.  When using your phone while driving, Uniden recommends that you only
    use the phone when the vehicle is stationary.  This ensures that you
    maintain full attention to driving while the vehicle is in motion.
    You are responsible for driving safely and using reasonable judgment
    while using your cellular phone.

5.  RF energy from cellular telephones may affect some personal medical
    devices (pacemakers, hearing aids, etc.)  Consult your physician or the
    device manufacturer for information regarding the effect of RF energy
    on personal medical devices.

6.  Do not use this cellular phone in an airplane.

7.  Do not allow children to play with the 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 could also
    damage the phone or make calls that increase your telephone bills.

8.  Obey the warning signs that require mobile radios to be turned off.  
    This is typically required near construction sites where blasting
    occurs, and in health care facilities.

9.  Turn your phone off when in any area with a potentially explosive
    atmosphere.  These areas include fueling areas such as gas stations,
    below deck on boats, chemical transfer and storage facilities, and
    areas where the air contains particles (grain, dust, or metal powders.)
