Important
Exposure
to Radio
Frequency
Energy
Read this information before using your wearable
cellular telephone.
First introduced in 1984, the hand-held portable cellular
telephone is one of the most exciting and innovative electronic
products ever developed. With it you can stay in contact with
your office, your home, emergency services, and others.
For the safe and efficient operation of your phone,
observe these guidelines.
Your cellular telephone is a radio transmitter and receiver.
When it is ON, it receives and also sends out radio frequency
(RF) energy. The phone operates in the frequency range of
824 MHz to 894 MHz and employs commonly used frequency
modulation (FM) techniques. When you use your phone, the
cellular system handling your call controls the power level at
which your phone transmits. The power level can range from
0.006 of a watt to 0.6 of a watt.
In 1991, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers
(IEEE), and in 1992, the American National Standards
Institute (ANSI), updated the 1982 ANSI Standard for safety
levels with respect to human exposure to RF energy. Over 120
scientists, engineers and physicians from universities, gov-
ernment health agencies and industry, after reviewing the
available body of research, developed this updated Standard.
In March, 1993, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission
(FCC) proposed the adoption of this updated Standard.
The design of your phone complies with this updated Standard.
Of course, if you want to limit RF exposure even further than
the updated ANSI Standard, you may choose to control the
duration of your calls and operate your phone in the most
power efficient manner.

For your phone to operate at the lowest power level,
consistent with satisfactory call quality, please observe the
following guidelines:
If your phone has an extendible antenna, extend it fully.
Some models allow you to place a call with the antenna
retracted. However, your phone operates more efficiently with
the antenna fully extended. Hold the phone as you would
any other telephone. While speaking directly into the mouth-
piece, position the antenna up and over your shoulder.
Do not hold the antenna when the phone is “IN USE.”
Holding the antenna affects call quality and may cause the
phone to operate at a higher power level than needed.
Do not use the phone with a damaged antenna. If a damaged
antenna comes into contact with the skin, a minor burn
may result. Replace a damaged antenna immediately. Consult
your manual to see if you may change the antenna yourself.
If so, use only a manufacturer approved antenna. Otherwise,
take your phone to a qualified service center for repair.
Use only the supplied or approved antenna. Non-approved
antennas, modifications, or attachments could impair call
quality, damage the phone, and violate FCC regulations.

Batteries

Electronic
Devices
Caution: All batteries can cause property damage, injury or
burns if a conductive material, such as jewelry, keys or bead-
ed chains, touches exposed terminals. The material may
complete an electrical circuit (short circuit) and become
quite hot. Exercise care in handling any charged battery,
particularly when placing it inside your pocket, purse, or other
container with metal objects. To protect against a short cir-
cuit when the battery is detached from the phone, your batteries
are packed with a protective battery cover; please use this cover
for storing your batteries when not in use (see pages 16-17).
Check the laws and regulations on the use of cellular telephones
in the areas where you drive. Some jurisdictions prohibit
your using a cellular telephone while driving a vehicle. Even
if your jurisdiction does not have such a law, we strongly
suggest that, for safety reasons, the driver use extreme caution
when operating the cellular telephone while the vehicle is in
motion. Always obey them. Also, when using the phone while
driving, please:
give full attention to driving,
use hands-free operation, if available, and
pull off the road and park before making or answering a
call if driving conditions so require.
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF energy.
However, RF energy from cellular telephones may affect
inadequately shielded electronic equipment.
RF energy may affect improperly installed or inadequately
shielded electronic operating and entertainment systems

in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or its
representative to determine if these systems are adequately
shielded from external RF energy. You should also check
with the manufacturer of any equipment that has been
added to your vehicle.
Consult the manufacturer of any personal medical devices
(such as pacemakers, hearing aids, etc.) to determine if they
are adequately shielded from external RF energy.
Turn your phone OFF in health care facilities when any
regulations posted in the areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals
or health care facilities may be using equipment that could
be sensitive to external RF energy.
Turn your phone OFF before boarding any aircraft.
Use it on the ground only with crew permission.
Do not use it in the air.
To prevent possible interference with aircraft systems, U.S.
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations require
you to have permission from a crew member to use your
phone while the plane is on the ground. To prevent interfer-
ence with cellular systems, FCC regulations prohibit using
your phone while the plane is in the air.
Do not allow children to play with your phone. It is not a toy.
Children could hurt themselves or others (by poking them-
selves or others in the eye with the antenna for example).
Children also could damage the phone, or make calls that
increase your telephone bills.
