Safety Information and
Usage Guidelines
Exposure to Radio Frequency 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 Commissions
(FCC) adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for
hand-held 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)
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).
* American National Standards Institute; National Council on Radiation
Protection and Measurements; International Commission on Non-
Ionizing Radiation Protection
•To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure guideline, if
you wear a handset on your body use the Sharp-supplied or
approved holster. If you do not use a body-worn accessory,
ensure the antenna is at least one inch (2.54 centimeters) away
from your body when transmitting. Use of non-Sharp
accessories may violate FCC RF exposure guidelines.
Antenna Care
Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could
damage the phone and may violate FCC regulations.
01 INTRO-TQ-CX1.fm Page I Thursday, May 23, 2002 2:01 PM

II
Phone Operation
NORMAL POSITION: Hold the phone as you would any other
telephone.
TIPS ON EFFICIENT OPERATION: For your phone to
operate most efficiently:
•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.
Driving
Check the laws and regulations on the use of wireless telephones
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.
Electronic Devices
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 (15.24 centimeters) 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.
01 INTRO-TQ-CX1.fm Page II Thursday, May 23, 2002 2:01 PM

III
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.
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
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.
01 INTRO-TQ-CX1.fm Page III Thursday, May 23, 2002 2:01 PM

IV
Aircraft
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 otherarea
where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle
engine.
For Vehicles Equipped with an Air Bag
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.
FCC Notice
The phone may cause TV or radio interference if used in close
proximity to receiving equipment. The FCC can require you to
stop using the phone if such interference cannot be eliminated.
01 INTRO-TQ-CX1.fm Page IV Thursday, May 23, 2002 2:01 PM

V

VI
Batteries
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, use a cover made of non-conductive poly bag, for
storing your battery, when it is not in use.
Flying
You should turn off your phone before boarding any aircraft.
To prevent possible interference with aircraft systems, U.S.
FederalAviationAdministration(FAA)regulationsrequireyouto
have permission from a crew member to useyour phone while the
plane is on the ground. To prevent any risk of interference, FCC
regulations prohibit using your phone while the plane is in the air.
Limiting Children’s Access to Your Phone
Your phone should not be played with by children. They could
hurt themselves and others, damage the phone or make calls that
increase your bill.
Changes or Modifications
