Safety Information for Wireless handled phones
Use of your phone is subject to safety rules designed to protect the user
and his or her environment.
Exposure to Radio Frequency Signals
- Your wireless handheld portable phone is a low power radio transmitter
and receiver. When it is ON, it receivesandalso sends out 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)
(*)
NCPR Report 86 (1986)
(*)
ICNIRP (1996)
(*)
- Those standards were based on comprehensive and periodic evaluations
of the relevant scientific literature. For example, over 120 scientists,
engineers, andphysicians from universities, government health agencies,
and industry reviewedthe available body of research todevelop the ANSI
Standard (C95.1).
- The design of your phone complies with the FCC guidelines (and those
standards).
- For body worn operation, this phone has been tested and meets FCC RF
exposure guidelines when used with an accessory that contains no metal
and that positions the handset a minimum of 1.5 cm from the body.
Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF
exposure guidelines.
Phone Operation
- Normal position: hold the phone as you would any other phone with the
upper zone (backof the LCD display) pointed up and over your shoulder.
- Tips on efficient operation: for your phone to operate most efficiently: do
not touch cover unnecessarily the top part of the phone with your hand.
This would cover the integrated antenna and affect call quality and may
cause the phone to operateat ahigher power level than otherwiseneeded.

certain electronic equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals
from your wireless phone.
- Some phone accessories allowto reducethe radiation interferencesof the
phone. Please contact your distributor.
Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a
minimumseparationof six (6”) 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 the breast pocket
- Shoulduse theear opposite to the pacemaker to minimize the potential for
interference
- If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, turn
your phone OFFimmediately.

belowdeck onboats, fuel orchemical transfer or storage facilities; vehicles
using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane); 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.
For Vehicles equipped with Air Bag
An air baginflateswith great force. DONOTplace objects, including both
installed or portable wireless equipment, in the area over the air bag or in

Safety Information for Wireless handled phones
- Only use your phone with original accessories. Failure to comply with
these rules will invalidate your warranty.
- Remember to disconnect the charger before removing the battery.
- The physical and chemical processes used in rechargeable batteries
mean that temperature limits must be followedduring rapid charging. Your
phone automatically protects the batteries from extremetemperatures.
- If the phone is disconnected from the battery for an extended period of
time, it will lose the time and the recorded voice messages.
Emergency Calls
IMPORTANT
- This phone, like any PCS phone, operates using radio signals, PCS and
landline networks, and user-programmed functions. As a consequence a
connection in all conditions cannot be guaranteed. Therefore you should
never rely solely upon any PCSphone for essential communications (e.g.
medical emergencies).
- To make or receive any calls, this phone must be switched on and in
service area with adequate PCS signal strength. Emergency calls may not
be possible on all PCS networks or when certain network services and/or
phone features are in use.Checkwith local Service Providers.
- When making an emergency call, remember to give all the necessary
information as accurately as possible. Remember that your PCS phone
maybe the onlymeans of communication at the scene of an accident - do
not terminate the call until given permission to do so.
- If certain featuresare in use (suchas Keyguard), youmay first need to turn
those features off before you can make an emergency call. Consult this
manual and your local PCS Service Provider.
Emergency Calling
- If the phone is not on, press .
- Key in emergency number for your present location (e.g. 911 or other
official emergency number).
- Press .
