Subject
The phone has been designed to operate on the latest
digital mobile communication technology, Code Division
Multiple Access (CDMA). This CDMA digital technology
has greatly enhanced voice clarity and can provide a
variety of advanced features. Currently, CDMA mobile
communication technology has been commercially used
in Cellular and Personal Communication Service (PCS).
The difference between Cellular and PCS is operating
frequency. Cellular uses 800Mhz and PCS uses 1.9Ghz.
Also, the VX2000 works on Advanced Mobile Phone
Service (AMPS). We call it a tri-mode phone. Since the
phone operates on Cellular, PCS and AMPS, the call fail
rate is less than on a conventional dual-mode or single-
mode phone.
CDMA technology adopts DSSS (Direct Sequence
Spread Spectrum). DSSS enables the phone to keep
communication from being crossed and to use one
frequency channel by multiple users in the same specific
area, resulting in a 10 fold increase in capacity when
compared with the analog mode currently used.
Soft/Softer Handoff, Hard Handoff, and Dynamic RF
power Control technologies are combined into this
phone 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). The following table lists some major
CDMA Standards.

Important Information
This user guide provides important information on the
use and operation of your phone. Please read all the
information carefully prior to using the phone for best
performance and to prevent any damage to or misuse of
the phone. Any unapproved change or modification will
void your warranty.
Check Accessories
Your mobile phone comes with the following accessories,
an AC adapter and a rechargeable battery.
Please verify
your accessories are included.

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.
Use caution 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 123 before using your phone.
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.

CAUTION
Use only the supplied, 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 the
damaged antenna comes into contact with the skin, a minor
burn may result. Contact your local dealer for a replacement
antenna.
Body-worn Operation
This device was tested for typical body-worn operations with
the back of the phone kept 0.79 inches (2#) from the body. To
comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, a minimum
separation distance of 0.79 inches (2#) 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. Body-worn accessories that
cannot maintain 0.79 inches (2#) 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 7.9 inches (20 #) 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

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
