For Your Safety
Important Information
This user guide contains important information on the
use and operation of this phone. Please read all the
information carefully for optimal performance and to
prevent any damage to, or misuse of, the phone. Any
changes or modifications not expressly approved
in this user guide could void your warranty for this
equipment.
Before You Start
Safety Instructions
WARNING! To reduce the possibility of electric shock,
do not expose your phone to high humidity areas, such
as the bathroom, swimming pool, etc.
Always store your phone away from heat.
Never store your phone in settings that may expose it
to temperatures less than 32°F or greater than 104°F,
such as outside during a snowstorm or in your car on a
hot day.
Exposure to excessive cold or heat will result in
malfunction, damage and/or catastrophic failure.
Be careful when using your phone near other
electronic devices. RF emissions from your mobile
phone may affect nearby inadequately shielded
electronic equipment. You should consult with
manufacturers of any personal medical devices such
as pacemakers and hearing aides to determine if
they are susceptible to interference from your mobile
phone. Turn off your phone in a medical facility or at a
gas station. Never place your phone in a microwave
oven as this will cause the battery to explode.
IMPORTANT! Please read the TIA SAFETY
INFORMATION on page 104 before using your phone.
Safety Information
Please read and observe the following information
for the safe and proper use of your phone and to
prevent any unanticipated damage. Also, keep the

]Hold the power cord plug firmly to plug and unplug
the power cord. Ensure the plug is firmly connected.
If it is not firmly connected, it may cause excessive
heat or fire.
]Do not place a heavy item on the power cord. Do not

such as a credit card, phone card, bank book or a
subway ticket, near your phone. The magnetic strip
can be damaged by the phone.
]Do not hold or let the antenna come in contact with
your body during a call.
]Talking on your phone for a long period of time may
reduce the call quality due to heat generated during
the use of the phone.
]Do not allow excessive vibration or impact to the
phone.

FCC RF Exposure Information
WARNING! Read this information before operating the
phone.
In August 1996, the Federal Communications (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 (RF)
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.
CAUTION
Use only the supplied and approved antenna. Use of
unauthorized antennas or modifications could impair
call quality, damage the phone, void your warranty
and/or result in violation of FCC regulations.
Do not use the phone with a damaged antenna. If a
damaged antenna comes into contact with skin, a
minor burn may result. Contact your local dealer for a
replacement antenna.

with the back of the phone kept 0.79 inches (2.0 cm)
between the user’s body and the back of the phone.
To comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, a
minimum separation distance of 0.79 inches (2.0 cm)
must be maintained between the user’s body and the
back of the phone. Third-party belt-clips, holsters, and
similar accessories containing metallic components
should not be used. Body-worn accessories that
cannot maintain 0.79 inches (2.0 cm)separation
distance between the user’s body and the back of the
phone, and have not been tested for typical body-worn
operations may not comply with FCC RF exposure limits
and should be avoided.
Vehicle Mounted External Antenna (optional, if
available)
A minimum separation distance of 8 inches (20 cm)
must be maintained between the user/bystander and
the vehicle mounted external antenna to satisfy FCC RF
exposure requirements.
For more information about RF exposure, visit the FCC
website at www.fcc.gov
