GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION

IMPORTANT

Read This Information Before 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.

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 1982 ANSI Standard for safety levels with respect to

human exposure in RF energy. Over 120 scientists, engineers, and

physicians from universities, government health agencies, and

industry, after reviewing the available body of research, developed

this updated Standard. 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. If

you want to limit RF exposure even further, you may choose to con-

trol the duration of your calls and operate your phone in the 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 speak-

ing directly into the mouthpiece, position the antenna up and over

your shoulder.

6

GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION

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.

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. Take your phone to a

qualiﬁed service center for repair.

Use only the supplied or approved antenna. Non-approved anten-

nas, modiﬁcations, or attachments could impair call quality, dam-

age the phone and violate FCC regulations.

Driving

Check the laws and regulations on the use of cellular telephones in

the areas 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 electric equipment—for example equipment in hos-

pitals and cars—is shielded from RF energy. However, RF energy

from cellular telephones may affect malfunctioning or improperly

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 remote RF monitoring equipment.

Aircraft

Turn your phone OFF before boarding any aircraft.

• Use it on the ground only with crew permission.

• Do not use in the air.

7

GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION

To prevent possible interference with aircraft systems, Federal

Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations require you to have per-

mission 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 tele-

phone 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.

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 gener-

ate 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 sta-

tions, below deck on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facil-

ities, and areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as

grain, dust, or metal powders, and any other areas where you would

normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine.

Do not transport or store ﬂammable gas, liquid, or explosives in the com-

partment of your vehicle which contains your phone or accessories.

Vehicles powered by 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: Publications Sales Division.

Magnetic Storage Media

Your phone contains a magnet. Do not place your phone in close

proximity to magnetic storage media such as diskettes or credit cards

for extended periods of time.

Batteries

CAUTION: To prevent injuries or burns, do not allow metal objects

to contact or short circuit the battery terminals.
