USING YOUR HAND-HELD PORTABLE
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.
i

Exposure to Radio Frequency Energy
In 1991 the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), and in 1992 the
American National Standards Institute (ANSI) updated the 1982ANSI Standard for
safety levels with respect to human exposure to RF energy. Over 120 scientists,
engineers, and physicians from universities, government health agencies, and in-
dustry, afterreviewingthe available bodyofresearch, developed thisupdatedStan-
dard. In March, 1993, the 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
maychoose to controlthe duration ofyour calls andoperate your phoneinthe most
power efficient manner.
Efficient Phone Operation
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 extendable 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 mouthpiece, position the antenna up and over your shoulder. Do not hold the
antenna when the phone is “IN USE”. Holding theantenna affects call quality and
may cause the phone to operate at a higher power level than needed.
Antenna Care and Replacement
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.
Driving
Checkthe laws andregulationson the useofcellular telephones intheareas where
you drive. Always obey them. Also, when using your 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.
Electronic Devices
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.
ii

Aircraft
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, FederalAviationAdministra-
tion (FAA) regulations require you to have permission from a crew member to use
your phone while the plane is on the ground. To prevent interference with cellular
systems, FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while the plane is in the air.
Children
Do not allow children to play with your phone. It is not a toy. Children could hurt
themselves or others (by poking themselves or others in the eye with the antenna
for example). Children also could damage the phone, or make calls that increase
your telephone bills.
Blasting Areas
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your unit OFF when in a “blasting
area” or in areas posted: “Turn off two-way radio”.
Construction crews often use remote control RF devices to set off explosives.
Air Bags
An air bag inflates with great force. DO NOT place objects, including both installed
or portable wireless equipment, in the area over the air bag or in the bag deploy-
ment area. If in-vehicle wireless equipment is improperly installed and the
air bag inflates, serious injury could result.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Turn your phone OFF when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere.
It is rare, but your phone or its accessories could generate sparks. Sparks in such
areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always, clearly
marked. They include fueling areas such as gas stations; below deck on boats; fuel
or chemical transfer or storage facilities; areas where the air contains chemicals or
particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders; and any other area where you
would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine.
Do not transport or store flammable gas, liquid, or explosives in the compartment of
your vehicle which contains your phone or accessories.
Vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane) must comply
with the National Fire Protection Standard (NFPA-58). For a copy of this standard,
contact the National Fire Protection Association, One Batterymarch Park, Quincy,
MA 02269, Attn: Publication Sales Division.
PACEMAKER/ICD’s
Research sponsored by the Wireless Technology Research, LLC (“WTR”),
indicates that some wireless telephones cause interference with pacemakers.
Accordingly, NEC America endorses the following recommendations issued by
the WTR:
Wireless phones should be kept at a safe distance from a pacemaker. Existing data
indicate that the greater the distance between a pacemaker and a wireless phone,
theless risk ofinterference. These data further indicatethat six inchesisthe proper
separation distance for minimal risk.
iii

Practical steps to achieve this separation distance include:
•The wireless telephone should not be placed over the pacemaker, such as in
a breast pocket, when it is in the “ON” position. (A phone is “ON” when power
is being supplied to the telephone by the battery).
•The phone should be used at the ear opposite the pacemaker.
Note: There is nothing in the comprehensive data to suggest that bystanders
with pacemakers would be at risk of interference from others who are using
wireless phones.
