Technical Details
The Migo 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.
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.
The Cellular and PCS CDMA networks consist of
MSO (Mobile Switching Office), BSC (Base Station
Controller), BTS (Base station Transmission System),
and MS (Mobile Station).
* TSB -74: Protocol between an IS-95A system and
ANSI J-STD-008
1xRTT system receives twice as many subscribers in
the wireless section as IS-95. Its battery life is twice
as long as IS-95. High-speed data transmission is
also possible.

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 0.6 inches (1.5 cm) from the body. To
comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, a minimum
separation distance of 0.6 inches (1.5 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 0.6 inches (1.5 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 and IC 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.

What about children using wireless phones?
The scientific evidence does not show a danger to
users of wireless phones, including children and
teenagers. If you want to take steps to lower
exposure to radiofrequency energy (RF), the
measures described above would apply to children
and teenagers using wireless phones. Reducing the
time or wireless phone use and increasing the
distance between the user and the RF source will
reduce RF exposure.
Some groups sponsored by other national
governments have advised that children be
discouraged from using wireless phones at all. For
example, the government in the United Kingdom
distributed leaflets containing such a
recommendation in December 2000. They note that
no evidence exists that using a wireless phone causes
brain tumors or other ill effects. Their
recommendation to limit wireless phone use by
children was strictly precautionary; it was not based
on scientific evidence that any health hazard exists.

SAFETY
TIA(Telecommunications Industry
Association) Safety Information
The following is the complete TIA Safety Information
for wireless handheld phones.
Exposure to Radio Frequency Signal
Your wireless handheld portable phone 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 handheld 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)

Health Canada, Safety Code 6, 1999.
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, IC Regulations (and those standards).
Antenna Care
Use only the supplied or an approved replacement
antenna. Unauthoriaed antennas, modifications, or
attachments 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.

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
phones in the areas where you drive and always obey
them. Also, if using your phone while driving, please
observe the following:

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 or the law 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 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.
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;

Should turn the phone OFF immediately if there is any
reason to suspect that interference is taking place.
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.)
Optional for each phone manufacturer.
