0.6
inches

with FCC RF exposure requirements, a minimum separation distance
of 0.6 inches
(I.5

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
-
heldwire
-
less phones. Those guidelines are consistent with the safety standards
previously set by both
U.S.
and international standardsbodies:
ANSIC95.
I
(
1992)'
NCRP Report 86
(I
986)
ICIMIRP(1996)
Those standards were based on comprehensive and periodic evalua
-
tions ofthe relevant scientific literature. For example, over
I20
scien
-
tists,
engineers, and physicians from universities, government health
agencies, and industry reviewed the available body of research to
develop the ANSI Standard (C95.
I).
Nevertheless, we recommend
that you use a handsfree
kit
with your phone (such as an earpiece
or
headset)
to
avoid potential exposure
to
RF energy.
The design of your phone complies with the FCC guidelines (and
those standards).
Use only the supplied oran approved replacementantenna. Unautho
-
rized antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage the
phone and may violate FCC regulations.
NORMAL POSITION: Hold the phone as you would any other tele
-
phone with the antenna pointed
up and over your shoulder.
TIPS
ON
EFFICIENT OPERATION:
For
your phone to operate most
efficiently:
Extendyour antennafully.
Do
not touch the antenna unnecessarily when the phone
is
in use.
Contact with the antenna affects call quality and may cause the
phone tooperate at a higher power level than otherwise needed.
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

if
available;
Pull off the road and park before makingoranswering a call

require.
Most modern electronic equipment
is
shielded from RF signals. How
-
ever, 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 hand
-
held wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference
with the pacemaker.These recommendations are consistent with the
