Safety Information

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.

European and International agencies have set standards and recommendations
for the protection of public exposure to RF electromagnetic energy.

  International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP)
  1996

  Verband Deutscher Electringenieure (VDE) DIN-0848

  Directives of the European Community, Directorate General V in Matters
  of Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Energy

  National Radiological Protection Board of the United Kingdom.
  GS II, 1988

  American National Standards Institute (ANSI) IEEE. C95.1-1992

  National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP).
  Reports 86

  Department of Health and Welfare Canada Safety Code 6

These standards are based on extensive scientific review.  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.

The design of your phone complies with these standards when used normally.

Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna.  Unauthorized
antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage the phone and may
violate FCC regulations.

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 you 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.

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 batteries are packed
          with a protective battery cover; please use this cover for
          storing your batteries when not in use.

Check the laws and regulations on the use of wireless telephone in the
areas where you drive.  Always obey them.

Also, if using your phone while driving, please:

  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 so require.

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 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:

  If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place,
  turn your phone OFF immediately.

Hearing Aids

Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids.  In the
event of such interference, you may want to consult your hearing aid
manufacturer to discuss alternatives.

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 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

Aircraft

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.

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 Atmospheres

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 always
clearly marked.  They 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 Airbag

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 deployment area.

If in-vehicle wireless equipment is improperly installed and the air bag
inflates, serious injury could result.
