FCC/Industry Canada Notice
Your phone may cause TV or radio interference (e.g. when using a telephone
in close proximity to receiving equipment). The FCC/Industry Canada can
require you to stop using your telephone if such interference cannot be
eliminated. If you require assistance, contact your local service facility
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject
to the condition that this device does not cause harmful interference.
Using This Guide
The wireless phone described in this guide is approved for use in AMPS and
NAMPS networks.
A number of features included in this guide are called Network Services.
They are special services provided by wireless service providers. Before
you can take advantage of any of these Network Services, you must
subscribe to the service(s) from your home service provider and obtain
instructions for their use.

11. Reference Information
Important Safety Information
Traffic Safety
Do not use a hand-held telephone while driving a vehicle. If using a
hand-held phone, park the vehicle before conversing.
Always secure the phone in its holder; do not place the phone on the
passenger seat or where it can break loose in a collision or sudden stop.
The use of an alert device to operate a vehicle's lights or horn on public
roads is not permitted.
Remember, road safety always comes first!
Operating Environment
Remember to follow any special regulations in force in any area and always
switch off your phone whenever it is forbidden to use it, or when it may
cause interference or danger.
When connecting the phone or any accessories to another device, read its
user's guide for detailed safety instructions. Do not connect
incompatible products.
As with other mobile radio transmitting equipment, users are advised that
for the satisfactory operation of the equipment and for the safety of
personnel, it is recommended that the equipment should only be used in the
normal operating position (held to your ear with the antenna pointing over
your shoulder).
Electronic Devices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded form radio frequency (RF)
signals. However, certain electronic equipment may not be shielded
against the RF signals from your wireless phone.
Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum separation of 6 inches
(20 cm.) 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 6 inches (20 cm.) from their
pacemaker when the phone is switched 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,
switch off your phone 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 service provider.
Other Medical Devices
Operation of any radio transmitting equipment, including wireless phones,
may interfere with the functionality of inadequately protected medical
devices. Consult a physician or the manufacturer of the medical device to
determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF energy or if
you have any questions. Switch off your phone 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
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded
electronic systems in motor vehicles (e.g. electronic fuel injection
systems, electronic anti-skid (anti-lock) braking systems, electronic
speed control systems, air bag systems). 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
Switch your phone off in any facility where posted notices so require.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Switch off your phone when in any area with a potentially explosive
atmosphere and obey all sign and instructions. Sparks in such areas could
cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.
Users are advised to switch off the phone while at a refueling point
(service stations). Users are reminded of the need to observe
restrictions on the use of radio equipment in fuel depots (fuel storage
and distribution areas), chemical plants or where blasting operations are
in progress.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often but no always
clearly marked. They include below deck on boats; 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.
Vehicles
Only qualified personnel should service the phone, or install the phone in
a vehicle. Faulty installation or service may be dangerous and may
invalidate any warranty which may apply to the unit.
Check regularly that all wireless phone equipment in your vehicle is
mounted and operating properly.
Do not store or carry flammable liquids, gases or explosive materials in
the same compartment as the phone, its parts or accessories.
For vehicles equipped with an air bag, remember that 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
bag deployment area. If in-vehicle wireless equipment is improperly
installed and the air bag inflates, serious injury could result.
Switch off your phone before boarding an aircraft. The use of wireless
telephones in an aircraft may be dangerous to the operation of the
aircraft, may disrupt the wireless telephone network and may be illegal.
Failure to observe these instructions may lead to the suspension or denial
of telephone services to the offender or legal action, or both.
Emergency Calls
IMPORTANT!: This phone, like any wireless phone, operates using radio
signals, wireless and landline networks as well as user
programmed functions which cannot guarantee connection in
all conditions. therefore, you should never rely solely
upon any wireless phone for essential communications (e.g.
medical emergencies).
Remember, to make or receive any calls, the phone must be
switched on and in a service area with adequate signal
strength. Emergency calls may not be possible on all wire
less phone networks or when certain network services and/or
phone features are in use. Check with local service providers
Making an Emergency Call
1. If the phone is not on, switch it on by giving the [PWR] key a long
press.
2. Give [CLR] a long press or press [END] to clear the display.
3. Enter the emergency number for your present location (e.g. 911 or
other official emergency number). Emergency numbers vary by location.
4. Press [SEND].
If certain features are in use (Keyguard, restricted calls, etc.), you may
first need to turn those features off before you can make an emergency
call. Consult this document and your local cellular service provider.
When making an emergency call, remember to give all the necessary
information as accurately as possible. Remember that your wireless phone
may be the only means of communication at he scene of an accident. Do not
cut off the call until given permission to do so.
Radio Frequency (RF) Signals
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.
In August, 1996, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) adopted RF
exposure guidelines with safety levels for handheld wireless phones.
Those guidelines are consistent with safety standards previously set by
both U.S. and international standards bodies:
ANSI C95.1 (1992)*, NCRP Report 86 (1986)*, ICNIRP (1996)*.
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).
