SAFETY INFORMATION
SAFETY INFORMATION FOR FIXED PHONES
For the safe and efficient operation of your phone, observe the following guidelines:
EXPOSURE TO RADIO FREQUENCY (RF) ENERGY
Your wireless telephone is a high power radio transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it
receives and also sends out radio frequency (RF) signals. When you communicate with
your phone, the system handling your call controls the power level at which your phone
transmits.
In August 1996, the Federal Communications Commissions (FCC) adopted RF exposure
guidelines with safety levels for handheld wireless phones. Those guidelines are consistent
with the safety standards previously set by both U.S. and international standards bodies:
ANSI C95.1 (1992)*
NCRP Report 86 (1986)*
ICNIRP (1996)*
★American National Standards Institute; National Council on Radiation Protection and
Measurements; International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection
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).
ANTENNA CARE
Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna. Unauthorized antennas,
modifications, or attachments could damage the phone and may violate FCC regulations.
PHONE OPERATION

7
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following
two conditions:
1) This device may not cause harmful interference.
2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation.
RF ENERGY INTERFERENCE / COMPATIBILITIES
Note : Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to RF energy interference from external
sources if in adequately shielded, designed, or otherwise configured for RF energy
compatibility. In some circumstances your phone may cause interference.
MEDICAL DEVICE
Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum separation of 6 inches
(15centimeters) be maintained between a handheld wireless phone and a pacemaker.
Persons with pacemakers should :
zALWAYS keep the phone more than 6 inches (15 centimeters) from your
pacemaker when the phone is turned ON.
zNot carry the phone in the breast pocket
zUse the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for interference.
zTurn OFF the phone immediately if you have any reason to suspect that
interference is taking place.
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 it is adequately shielded from RF energy. Your physician may be able to assist
you in obtaining this information.
OPERATIONAL WARNING
For Vehicles With an Air Bag

8
Do not place a phone in the area over an air bag or in the air bog deployment area. Air bags
inflate with great force. If a phone is placed in the air bag deployment area and the air bag
inflates, the phone may be propelled with great force and cause serious injury to occupants
of the vehicle.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Turn off your phone prior to entering any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere. Do
not remove, install, or charge batteries in such areas. Sparks in a potentially explosive
atmosphere can cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.
Note : The areas with potentially explosive atmospheres referred to above include fueling
areas such as below decks on boats, fuel, or chemical transfer or storage facilities, areas
where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust or, or metal powders.
Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres are often but not always posted.
BATTERIES
Batteries can cause property damage and / or bodily injury such as burns if a conductive
material such as jewelry, keys, or beaded chains touch exposed terminals. The conductive
material may complete an electrical circuit (short circuit) and become quite hot. Exercise
care in handling any charged battery, particularly when placing it inside a pocket, purse or
other container with metal objects. Use only FGD-8900 & AVVIO9000 original batteries
and chargers.
Your battery or phone may contain symbols, defined as follows.
Symbol Definition
Important safety information will follow
Your battery or phone should not be disposed of in a fire
Your battery or phone may require recycling in accordance
with local laws. Contact your local regulatory authorities for
more information.
Your battery or phone should not be thrown in the trash

9
Seizures / Blackouts
Some people may be susceptible to epileptic seizures or blackouts when exposed to
flashing lights, such as when watching television or playing video games. These seizures or
blackouts may occur even if a person never had a previous seizure or blackout.
If you experienced seizures or blackouts, or if you have a family history of such
occurrences, please consult with your doctor.
