GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
Electrical safety
Do not install the terminal in a damp room, bathroom, laundry room or in a kitchen
within 1.5 metres of the sink.
This terminal should be used at temperatures between 5°C and 40°C.
In districts which are subject to frequent storms, use a suitable surge arrester to protect
the terminal against electrical overloads.
Electrical connection: 230 V mains power supply, single-phase alternating current, with
the exception of IT installations as defined in Standard EN 60-950.
Note: As an option, you may have a 110V power supply instead of 230V version.
Before powering on your unit, make sure the mains outlet it is connected to, meets the
requirement printed on the warning label on the separate power supply (voltage, current,
frequency of power network).
Note: the mains power supply voltage is classified as excessive according to the criteria
of Standard EN 41-003. As a precaution, in the event of danger, mains adapters should
act as circuit breakers to isolate the 230 V or 110 V or power supply. They must be
located near the terminal and must be easily accessible.
The equipment must only be used with the mains adapter supplied.
In Europe, this unit includes the stamp, following the 73/23/EEC, 89/336/EEC and
93/68/EEC directives.
Telephone line connection:The telephone line is classified as TNV-2 according to EN
60950. Therefore, the line must not be installed outside the building.
Compatibility with your phone
Before connecting your phone to your digital terminal, check the documentation
supplied with the terminal for any information relating to safety.
Make sure that you only connect the terminal to approved phones and in accordance
with current regulations.
Problems with interference
The terminal is a transmitter which uses radio frequencies. For this reason it may
sometimes receive and generate interference which may adversely affect its own
performanceaswellas the performance of other electrical equipmentintheimmediate
vicinity (terminals, television sets, microcomputers, etc.).
Make sure that you carefully follow the instructions for connecting your terminal to the
mains power supply.
Recommendations for emergency numbers
The terminal operates with the aid of radio signals on cellular and terrestrial networks.
For this reason, it is not possible to guarantee that every call will be put through. In
addition, you cannot rely solely on a wireless device for urgent communications
(medical emergencies for example).

FCC Recommandations Safety information for
Wireless local loop Terminal
Use of your Terminal is subject to safety rules designed to protect the user and his or
her environment.
Exposure to Radio Frequency Signals
Your Wireless local loop Terminal is a low power radio transmitter and receiver. When
it is ON, it receives and also sends out radio fre uency (RF) signals.
In August, 1996, the Federal Communications Commissions (FCC) adopted RF
exposure guidelines with safety levels for Wireless Terminal. 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)*
(*) American National Standards Institute; National Council on Radiation Protection and
Measurements; International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection.
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 (and those standards).
Safety Operation Re uirement
Do not operate your Phonecell when any person is within 20 cm of the antenna.
Antenna Care
Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna. Unauthorized antennas,
modifications, or attachments could damage the Terminal and may violate FCC
regulations.
Phone Operation
Tips on efficient operation: for your Terminalto operate most efficiently: do not touch the
antenna unnecessarily when the Terminal is in use. Contact with the antenna affects
call uality and may cause the Terminal to operate at a higher power level than otherwise
needed.
Electronic Devices
Most modern electronic e uipment is shielded from RF signals. However, certain
electronic e uipment may not be shielded against the RF signals from your Wireless
Terminal
Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum
separation of six (6) inches be maintained between a Wireless Terminal 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.
ZAMBUUUJO.p65 18/04/02, 16:175

6
Persons with pacemakers:
•Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than six inches from their pacemaker when the
phone is turned ON;
•If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, turn your Terminal
OFF immediately.
Hearing Aids
Some digital Wireless Terminal may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of
such interference, you may want to consult your service provider.
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of your device to
determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your physician may
be able to assist you in obtaining this information.
Turn your Terminal OFF in health care facilities when any regulations posted in these
areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment
that could be sensitive to external RF energy.
Posted Facilities
Don’t install your Wireless Terminal in any facility where posted notices so require.
Blasting Areas
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, Don’t install your Wireless Terminal when
in a ”blasting area” or in areas posted: ”Turn off two-way radio”. Obey all signs and
instructions.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Don’t install your Wireless Terminal when in any area with a potentially explosive
atmosphere and obey all signs ans instructions. 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 gasoline stations; below deck on boats; fuel or
chemincal 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.
Electrical Safety
Only use the appropriate chargers recommended in the manufacturer’s catalog. Using
another charger may prove dangerous and could invalidate the warranty of your Wireless
Terminal.
The main power socket should be easily accessible.
Make sure that the main voltage corresponds to the level marked on the charger
identification plate.
General Precautions
Do not try to open your Wireless Termianl and repair it yourself. The manufacturer
cannot be held liable for any resulting damage.
Any work done by an unqualified and unauthorized person will invalidate your warranty.
Do not install your Wireless Terminal in humid places (bathroom, swimming pool, etc.).

all conditions cannot be guaranted.Therefore you should never rely solely upon any
PCS phone 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. Check
with local Service Providers.
When making an emergency call, remember to give all the necessary information as
accurately as possible. Remember that your PCS Wireless Terminal may be the only
means of communication at the scene of an accident - do not terminate the call until
given permission to do so.
If certain features are in use (such as Keyguard), you may first need to turn those
features off before you can make an emergency call. Consult this manual and your local
PCS Service Provider.
