3. Do not use a handheld phone while driving.
4. Do not use the phone in areas where its use is
prohibited (i.e.: aircraft, hospital).
5. Do not expose the battery charger or adapter to
direct sunlight or use it in places with high
humidity, such as a bathroom.
6. Never store your phone in temperatures less
than 5°F (-15°C) or greater than 122°F (50°C).
7. Do not use harsh chemicals (i.e.: alcohol,
benzene, thinners, etc.) or detergents to clean
your phone. This may cause a fire.

digital mobile communication technology, Code Division
Multiple Access (CDMA). Along with the many advanced
features of the CDMA system, such as greatly enhanced
voice clarity, this phone offers:
1. Large, easy-to-read, 9-line backlight LCD with status
icons.
2. Paging, messaging, voicemail and caller ID.
3. 21-key keypad.
4. Menu-driven interface with prompts for easy operation
and configuration.
5. Any key answer, auto answer, auto retry, one-touch dial
and speed dialing with 99 memory locations.
Important Information
This user’s guide provides important information on the use
and operation of your phone. Please read all the information
carefully prior to using the phone for the best performance
and to prevent any damage to or misuse of the phone. Any
unapproved changes or modifications will void your
warranty.
FCC Part 15 Class B Compliance
This device and its accessories comply with part 15 of FCC
rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device and its accessories may not cause harmful
interference, and (2) this device and its accessories must
accept any interference received, including interference that
causes undesired operation.

Technical Details
The DM-L200 is an all-digital phone that operates on both Code
Division Multiple Access (CDMA) frequencies: cellular services at
800 MHz and Personal Communication Services (PCS) at 1.9 GHz.
Also, the DM-L200 works on Advanced Mobile Phone Service
(AMPS). We call it a tri-mode phone.
CDMA technology uses a feature called DSSS (Direct Sequence
Spread Spectrum) that enables the phone to keep communication
from being crossed and to use one frequency channel by multiple
users in the same specific area. This results in a 10-fold capacity
increase when compared with analog mode. In addition, features
such as soft/softer handoff, hard handoff, and dynamic RF power
control technologies combine to reduce call interruptions.

FCC RF Exposure Information
WARNING! Read this information before operating
the phone.
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 (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.
Bodily Contact During Operation
This device was tested for typical use with the back of the phone kept 3/4 inches (2 cm)
from the body. To comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, a minimum separation
distance of 3/4 inches (2 cm) must be maintained between the user’s body and the back
of the phone, including the antenna, whether extended or retracted. Third-party belt-clips,
holsters and similar accessories containing metallic components should not be used.
Avoid the use of accessories that cannot maintain 3/4 inches (2 cm) distance between
the user’s body and the back of the phone and have not been tested for compliance with
FCC RF exposure limits.
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.
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 the skin a minor burn may
result. Contact your local dealer for a replacement antenna.

To use the charger provided with your phone, plug the end of the
adapter into the phone's charger port and the other end into an
electrical outlet. The charge time varies depending upon the
battery level. The maximum charge time for a fully discharged
battery is 3 hours.
WARNING! Use only the charger provided with the phone.
Using any charger other than the one included with the
DM-L200 may damage your phone or battery.

Call quality depends on the signal strength in your area. The
signal strength is indicated on the screen as the number of
bars next to the signal strength icon: The more bars, the
better the signal strength. If the signal quality is poor, move
to an open area. If you are in a building, the reception may
be better near a window.
NOTE: Like any other radio device, avoid any
unnecessary contact with the antenna while your
phone is on.
