Safety Information and Usage
Guideline
Exposure to Radio Frequency Signals
Your wireless handheld portable telephone is a low power radio
transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it receives and also sends
out radio frequency (RF) signals. In August 1996, the Federal
Communications Commissions (FCC) adopted RF exposure
guidelines with safety levels for hand-held wireless phones. Those
guidelines are consistent with the safety standards previously set
by both U.S. and international standards bodies:
• ANSI C95.1 (1992) *1
• NCRP Report 86 (1986) *2
• ICNIRP (1996) *3
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).
zTo maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure guideline, if you
wear a handset on your body use the Sharp supplied or approved
holster. If you do not use a body-worn accessory, ensure the antenna
is at least one inch (2.54 centimeters ) from your body when
transmitting. Use of non-Sharp accessories may violate FCC RF
exposure guidelines.

Phone Operation
Normal Position:
Hold the phone as you would any other telephone.
Tips on Efficient Operation:
For your phone to operate most efficiently:
• Do not touch the antenna unnecessarily when the phone is in
use. Contact with the antenna affects call quality and may cause
the phone to operate at a higher power level than otherwise
needed.
Batteries
Caution: All batteries can cause property damage, injury or
burns if a conductive material, such as jewelry, keys or beaded
chains, touches exposed terminals. The material may complete an
electrical circuit and become quite hot. To protect against such
unwanted current drain, exercise care in handling any charged
battery, particularly when placing it inside your pocket, purse or
other container with metal objects. When the battery is detached
from the phone, please use any un-conductive material cover such as
small poly bag : for storing your battery when not in use.
Driving
Check the laws and regulations on the use of wireless telephone
in the areas where you drive. Always obey them. Also, if using
your phone while driving, please:
• Give full attention to driving - driving safely is your first
responsibility.
• Use hands-free operation, if available.
• Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if
driving conditions so require.
ⅱ

Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that
a minimum separation of 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 ALWAYSkeep the phone more than six (6") inches from
their pacemaker when the phone is turned ON.
• Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket.
• Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the
potential for interference.
• If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking
place, turn your phone OFF immediately.
Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing
aids. In the event of such interference, you may want to consult
your hearing aid manufacturer to discuss alternatives.
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 phone 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.
Vehicles Equipped with Air Bags
An air bag inflates with great force. DO NOT place objects,
ⅲ

including both installed or portable wireless equipment, in the
area over the air bag or in the air bag deployment area. If in-vehicle
wireless equipment is improperly installed and the air bag
inflates, serious injury could result.
Phone Care
Your phone is designed for excellent durability under normal use
conditions. Protect your phone from water damage that could
result from spills or excessive exposure to rain.
Never submerge your wireless phone.
Cleaning the Phone
Cleaning of this product should only be done with a damp cloth.
The use of chemical cleaners may harm the finish and integrity of
the radio housing and is not recommended.
All about performance and safety
Keeping tabs on signal strength
If you’re inside a building, reception may be better near a window.
The quality of each call you make or receive depends on the signal
strength in your immediate area. When turned on, your phone will
always give you a visual indication of the signal strength in your
immediate area. The visual indicator is always in the upper left
corner of your display and is referred to as the signal strength
indicator: [ ]. More lines indicate more signal strength. Four
lines indicate maximum strength and one line indicates least
strength.
Understanding Power Save mode
If you’re trying to use your Phone in an area where the signal is
too weak, the Power Save feature will be automatically activated to
conserve battery power when you’ve been unable to pick up a
signal for 15 minutes. If your phone is in Power Save Mode, it will
ⅳ

periodically recheck service availability or you can do so yourself
manually by pressing any key. A message will be displayed on the
screen any time Power Save has been activated.
Understanding how your phone operates
Your phone is basically a radio transmitter and receiver.
When it’s turned on, it receives and transmits radio frequency
(RF) signals. When your phone is in use, the system handling your
call controls the power level. This power level can range from
0.006 watts to 0.6 watts.
Maintaining your phone’s peak performance
To operate your phone properly - that is, to maintain safe and
satisfactory service - you should follow these rules:
• Do not hold the phone antenna at any time.
• Do not use the phone with a damaged antenna.
Avoid exposing your phone and accessories to rain or liquid spills.
If your phone gets wet, turn the power off immediately, remove
the battery. If it is inoperable, you should consult with the store
where you purchased it.
Only authorized personnel should service your phone and its accessories.
Faulty service may invalidate the warranty.
Protecting your battery
For best battery performance, you should follow these guidelines:
Only use Sharp-approved battery and chargers. These chargers
are designed to maximize battery life. Using other batteries or
chargers will invalidate your warranty and may cause damage as
well.
To avoid damage, only charge the battery in temperatures that
range from 32° Fto 104° F(0°C to40°C).
Do not use the battery charger in direct sunlight or in high
humidityareas (such as a bathroom).
Never dispose of the battery by incineration (fire ).
ⅴ
Keep the metal contacts at the battery base clean.

Do not attempt to disassemble or short-circuit the battery, as
injuries or burns may result.
You may need to recharge the battery if it has not been used for a
long period of time.
Replace the batterywhen it no longer provides acceptable
performance.
Do not allow metal objects or liquids to contact or short-circuit the
battery terminals, as injuries or burns may result.
To avoid damage, store the battery in temperatures
range from -4° F to 140° F (-20°C to 60°C), and avoid leaving the
battery unused for very long periods. Follow these storage rules:
• Less than one month:
– 4°F to 140°F (-20°C to 60°C)
• More than one month:
– 4°F to 113°F (-20°C to 45°C)
Battery disposal and recycling
Please follow these guidelines when disposing of or recycling the
battery:
Do not dispose of the battery by incineration (fire);the cellmayexplode. Check
the regulations in your area for special disposal instructions.
Do not open or puncture the battery; the released electrolyte is
corrosive and may cause damage to the eyes and skin, and can be
toxic if swallowed.
Charge the battery in accordance with the instructions specified in
this user guide. See “Charging the battery” on page 16.
Contains Lithium-Ion Battery must be disposed of properly. Contact
local agencies for information on recycling and disposal plans in your
area.
ⅵ

Following safety guidelines
To operate your phone safely and efficiently, you should always
follow any special guidelines in a given area and turn your phone
off in areas where use is forbidden or when it may cause
interference or danger.
Turn off your phone before flying
You should turn off your phone before boarding any aircraft.
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 any risk of interference, FCC
regulations prohibit using your phone while the plane is in the air.
Restricting children’s access to your phone
Your phone should not be played with by children. They could
hurt themselves and others, damage the phone or make calls that
increase your bill.
Using your phone near other electronic
devices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from radio
frequency (RF) signals. However, RF signals from PCS
telephones may affect inadequately shielded electronic
equipment.
RF signals 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 signals. You should also check with the manufacturer
regarding any equipment that has been added to your vehicle.
Consult the manufacturer of any personal medical devices (such
as pacemakers and hearing aids) to determine if they are
ⅶ

adequately shielded from external RF signals. Turn off the phone
in healthcare facilities and request permission before using the
phone near medical equipment.
Cautions
Any changes or modifications to your phone not expressly
approved in this document could void your warranty for this
equipment and void your authority to operate this equipment.
Only use approved batteries, antennas and chargers. The use of
any unauthorized accessories may be dangerous and will
invalidate the phone warranty if said accessories cause damage or
a defect to the phone.
Although your phone is quite sturdy, it is a complex piece of
hardware and can be broken. Use common-sense guidelines to
avoid dropping, hitting, bending or sitting on it.
Specifications Subject to change
The information contained in this manual is believed to be correct
at the time of printing. However, Sharp reserves the right to
change or modify any of the specifications without notice or
obligation to update existing units.
Turn off your phone in dangerous areas
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, you should turn off
your phone when in a blasting area or in other areas with signs
indicating that two-way radios should be turned off. Construction
crews use remote-controlled RF devices to set off explosives.
Turn off your phone when you are in any area with a potentially
explosive atmosphere. It is rare, but your phone or its accessories
could generate sparks. Sparks could cause an explosion or a 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 chemicals transfer or storage facilities; areas where
ⅷ

the air contains chemical 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 any
vehicle that contains your phone or accessories.
FCC notice
The phone may cause TV or radio interference if used in close
proximity to receiving equipment. The FCC can require you to
stop using the telephone if such interference cannot be eliminated.
Liquefied petroleum Gas
Lastly, 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.
