IMPORTANT:  Read this information before using your hand-held portable
            cellular telephone.

Thank you for your purchase. Your Fujitsu phone is the result of extensive
research and development by a world leader in telecommunications.  An
informed customer can more fully enjoy the benefits of our advanced
technology, features, and performance.  So we ask that you take a few
minutes to familiarize yourself with the information presented in this
section before proceeding.

General Information

First introduced in 1984, the hand-held 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 your phone, observe these 
guidelines.

Your 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 824 MHz to 894 MHz and employs commonly 
used frequency modulation (FM) techniques.  When you use your phone, the 
cellular system handling your call controls the power level at which your 
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 to RF 
energy.  Over 120 scientists, engineers, and physicians from universities, 
government health agencies, and industry, after reviewing he 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 your 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 
your phone in the most power efficient manner.

Efficient Phone Operation

For your phone to operate at the lowest power level, consistent with 
satisfactory call quality, please observe the following guidelines:

If your phone has an extendable antenna, extend it fully.  Some models 
allow you to place a call with the antenna retracted.  However, your 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.  Non-approved antennas, 
modifications, or attachments could impair call quality, damage the phone, 
and 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 
while 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.

Do not place the phone on the passenger seat or where it can break loose 
in a collision or sudden stop.  You must firmly secure the phone in place.  
An unsecured phone may cause severe damage to property or injury to 
occupants.

Give careful consideration to the fixed-mount placement of your cellular 
telephone within your vehicle.  Never mount any cellular telephone where 
it can distract the driver or obstruct full view of the road.

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 no always, 
clearly marked.  They include fueling areas such as gas stations; below 
deck on boats; fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities; areas 
where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or 
metal powers; and any other area where you would normally be advised to 
turn off your vehicle engine.

Do not transport or store flammable gas, liquid, or explosives in the 
compartment of your vehicle which contains your phone or accessories.

Vehicles using 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 Park, Quincy, MA 02269, Attn: Publication Sales Division.

Electronic Devices

Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF energy.  However, RF 
energy from cellular telephones may affect malfunctioning or improperly 
shielded electronic equipment.

RF energy may affect malfunctioning, improperly installed, or improperly 
shielded electronic operating and entertainment systems in motor vehicles.  
Check with the manufacturer or its representative to determine if these 
systems are adequately shielded from external RF energy.  You should also 
check with the manufacturer of any equipment that has been added to your 
vehicle.

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 equipment that could be sensitive to external RF energy.

Aircraft

Turn your phone OFF before boarding any aircraft.

Use it on the ground only with crew permission.

Do not use it 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.

Confidential Communications

Your cellular transmissions are susceptible to monitoring by third 
parties.  Avoid transmitting sensitive or confidential information over 
your cellular phone.

License

Your cellular telephone is licensed by the FCC.  You, as the radio 
operator, do not require a license.

Language

Remember that your communications are broadcast over public airways.  
Federal law requires that no person shall utter any obscene, indecent, or 
profane language by means of radio transmission.

Equipment Modification

The FCC specifies the type and frequency of the equipment and no changes 
or adjustments are to be made in the equipment.

Battery Charger Precautions

Before using any Battery Charger or Charging Accessories, read all 
instructions and markings on the Charger and this User Guide.

Do not expose the Battery Charger or Charging Accessories to moisture or 
extreme temperature.

Use only an original Fujitsu brand charger.  The use of any other model 
will void the warranty applying to the battery and telephone and may be 
dangerous.

To reduce the risk of damage to the AC outlet, electric plug and cord, 
pull by the plug straight away from the AC outlet rather than the cord 
when disconnecting the Battery Charger or Charging Accessories. Disconnect
the Charger from the AC outlet when not in use.

The Battery Charger or Charging Accessories each have a circuit to prevent 
overcharging, but avoid charging the battery for more than 24 hours.  
Overcharging can damage the battery, reduce battery efficiency, and 
shorten battery life.

Battery Precautions

The product that you have purchased contains a rechargeable battery pack.  
Because of various state laws and local ordinances, it may be illegal to 
dispose of this battery pack into the municipal waste stream.  Please 
check with local solid waste officials for details of proper disposal or 
recycling in your area.  If you are unable to obtain proper information, 
call Fujitsu at (214) 690-6000, extension 805.

Nickel Cadmium (NiCd) and Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) batteries should be 
recycled or disposed of properly.

NEVER dispose of a battery in an open flame or incinerator.

Do not attempt to open the battery case.  If the battery case should break 
open, avoid contact with the contents.  If there is skin contact, wash 
affected skin areas and consult a physician immediately.

Maintenance & Repair

To properly clean the phone, use a slightly damp cloth and a mild solution 
of dishwashing detergent.  Some household cleaners may contain chemicals 
which will damage the plastic housing.  Avoid the use of any petroleum
based solvent cleaners.  Do not spray any cleaner directly onto the phone 
or any accessories.

Do not disassemble any Fujitsu cellular product.  Return it to your 
Authorized Fujitsu Dealer or Service Center when service or repair is 
required.
