FCC RF EXPOSURE INFORMATION
In August 1996 the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the United States
with its action in Report and Order FCC 96-326 adopted an updated safety standard
for human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC
regulated transmitters. Those guidelines are consistent with the safety standard
previously set by both U.S. and international standards bodies. The design of this
phone complies with the FCC guidelines and these international standards.
Use only the supplied or an approved antenna. Unauthorized antennas,
modifications, or attachments could impair call quality, damage the phone, or result in
violation of FCC regulations.
Do not use the phone with a damaged antenna. If a damaged antenna comes into
contact with the skin, a minor burn may result. Please contact your local dealer for
replacement antenna.
Body-worn Operation
This device was tested for typical body-worn operations with the back of the phone
kept 1.5 cm. from the body. To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure
requirements, use only belt-clips, holsters or similar accessories that maintain a 1.5
cm. separation distance between the user’s body and the back of the phone, including
the antenna, whether extended or retracted. The use of third-party belt-clips, holsters
and similar accessories should not contain metallic components in its assembly. The
use of accessories that do not satisfy these requirements may not comply with FCC
RF exposure requirements, and should be avoided.
WARNING! Read this information before using your phone

SAFETY INFORMATION FOR
WIRELESS HANDHELD PHONES
Read this information before using your handheld portable cellular Telephone.
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 Commission (FCC) adopted RF exposure
guidelines that are consistent with the safety standards previously set by both U.S and
international standards bodies:
•ANSI C95.1 (1992)
•NCRP Report 88(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).
ANTENNA CARE
Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna. Unauthorized antennas,
modifications, or attachment could damage the phone and may violate FCC regulations.
PHONE OPERATION
Normal Position: Hold the phone as you would any other telephone with the antenna pointed
up and over your shoulder.
The meanings of the acronyms are:
ANSI: American National Standards Institute
NCRP: National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements
ICNIRP: International Commission on Non-ionizing Radiation Protection
Tips on Efficient Operation:

7
For an efficient operation of your phone:
•Extend your antenna fully
•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 safety 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 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.
.
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 [or call the customer service line
to discuss alternatives.
Persons with pacemakers:
Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than six (6”
) 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 an
y reason to suspect that interference is taking place, turn your phone OFF
immediately.

8
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 the necessary information.
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.
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 marked but not always clearly
marked. They include fueling areas such as gasoline stations, below deck on boats, fuel or
chemical transfer or storage 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.
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.

9

Battery Type Talk Time Standby Time
Standard Battery 1000mAH(Li-Ion) Up to 220min Up to 1Week
(*The test result above is from Giga Telecom’s Lab.)
Use only batteries and charges approved by the phone manufacturer.
When a charger is not in use, disconnected it from the power source. Do not leave the
battery connected to a charger for longer than a week; overcharging may shorten its life. If
left unused, a fully charged battery may completely drain (discharge) in 1-4 weeks.
Never use any charger or battery that is damaged or worn out.
Use the battery only for its intended purpose.
Do not short circuit the battery. Accidental short-circuiting can occur when a metallic object
(e.g. coin, dip or pen) causes direct connection of the two terminals of the battery (metal
strips on the back of the battery)
For example, when you carry a spare battery in your pocket or purse. Short-circuiting the
terminals may damage the battery or the connecting object.
Leaving the battery in hot or cold places, such as in a closed car in summer or winter
conditions, reduces the capacity and lifetime of the battery. Always try to keep the battery
between 41°F and 95°F( 5°C and 35°C).
