Safety
General Precautions
There are several simple guidelines to operating your phone properly and maintaining safe,
satisfactory service.
To maximize performance, do not touch the upper back portion of your phone where the
internal antenna is located while using the phone.
Speak directly into the mouthpiece.
Avoid exposing your phone and accessories to rain or liquid spills. If your phone does get wet,
immediately turn the power off and remove the battery.
Although your phone is quite sturdy, it is a complex piece of equipment and can be broken.
Avoid dropping, hitting, bending, or sitting on it.
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.
Note: For the best care of your phone, only PCS-authorized personnel should service your phone and
accessories. Failure to do so may be dangerous and void your warranty.
Maintaining Safe Use of and Access to Your Phone
Do Not Rely on Your Phone for Emergency Calls
Mobile phones operate using radio signals, which cannot guarantee connection in all conditions.
Therefore you should never rely solely upon any mobile phone for essential communication (e.g.,
medical emergencies). Emergency calls may not be possible on all cellular networks or when certain
network services and/or mobile phone features are in use. Check with your local service provider for
details.
Using Your Phone While Driving
Talking on your phone while driving (or operating the phone without a hands-free device) is
prohibited in some jurisdictions. Laws vary as to specific restrictions. Remember that safety always
comes first.
Following Safety Guidelines
To operate your phone safely and efficiently, always follow any special regulations in a given area.
Turn your phone off in areas where use is forbidden or when it may cause interference or danger.
Using Your Phone Near Other Electronic Devices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from radiofrequency (RF) signals. However, RF
signals from wireless phones may affect inadequately shielded electronic equipment. RF signals may
affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic operating systems and/or
entertainment systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or their representative to
determine if these systems are adequately shielded from external RF signals. 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
![](/img.php?id=726774&img=bg41.png)
64
they are adequately shielded from external RF signals.
Note: Always turn off the phone in health-care facilities and request permission before using the
phone near medical equipment.
Turning Off Your Phone Before Flying
Turn off your phone before boarding any aircraft. To prevent possible interference with aircraft
systems, the 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.
Turning Off Your Phone in Dangerous Areas
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your phone off when in a blasting area or in other
areas with signs indicating two-way radios should be turned off. Construction crews often use
remote-control RF devices to set off explosives. Turn your phone off when you’re in any area that has
a potentially explosive atmosphere.
Although it’s rare, your phone and accessories could generate sparks. Sparks can cause an explosion
or fire, resulting in bodily injury or even death. These areas 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.
Any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle’s engine.
Note: Never transport or store flammable gas, flammable liquids, or explosives in the compartment
of your vehicle that contains your phone or accessories.
Restricting Children’s Access to Your Phone
Your phone is not a toy. Do not allow children to play with It as they could hurt themselves and
others, damage the phone or make calls that increase your phone bill.
![](/img.php?id=726774&img=bg42.png)
65
Using Your Phone With a Hearing Aid Device
Your phone has been tested for hearing aid device compatibility. When some wireless phones are
used near some hearing devices (hearing aids and cochlear implants), users may detect a buzzing,
humming, or whining noise. Some hearing devices are more immune than others to this interference
noise, and phones also vary in the amount of interference they generate.
The wireless telephone industry has developed ratings for some of their mobile phones, to assist
hearing device users in finding phones that may be compatible with their hearing devices. Not
all phones have been rated. Phones that are rated will have the rating on the box. Your SCP-M1 by
Sanyo has an [xx] rating.
Note: Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements and may generate less interference to hearing
devices than phones that are not labeled. M4 is the better/higher of the two ratings.
The M3/M4 ratings do not guarantee successful interoperation between your phone and hearing aid
device. Results will vary depending on the level of immunity of your hearing device and degree of
your hearing loss.
The more immune your hearing aid device is, the less likely you are to experience interference noise
from your wireless phone. Hearing aid devices should have ratings similar to phones. Ask your
hearing healthcare professional for the rating of your aids. Most new hearing aids have at least an
M2 immunity level. Add the “M” ratings of your hearing aid and your phone to determine probable
usability:
Any combined rating equal to or greater than six offers best use.
Any combined rating equal to five is considered normal use.
Any combined rating equal to four is considered usable.
Thus, if you pair an M3 hearing aid with an M3 phone, you will have a combined rating of six for
“best use.”
We further suggests you experiment with multiple phones (even those not labeled M3 or M4) while
in the store to find the one that works best with your hearing aid device. Should you experience
interference after purchasing your phone, promptly return it to the store. With our 14-day Risk-Free
Guarantee you may return the phone within 14 days of purchase for a full refund.
Getting the Best Hearing Device Experience With Your SCP-M1 by Sanyo
One way to minimize interference is to set the phone’s Display and Keypad backlight settings to
ensure the minimum time interval.

Caring for the Battery
Protecting Your Battery
The guidelines listed below help you get the most out of your battery’s performance.
In order to avoid damage, charge the battery only in temperatures that range from 32º F to 113º
F (0º C to 45º C).
Don’t use the battery charger in direct sunlight or in high humidity areas, such as the
bathroom.
Never dispose of the battery by incineration.
Keep the metal contacts on top of the battery clean.
Don’t attempt to disassemble or short-circuit the battery.
The battery may need recharging if it has not been used for a long period of time.
It’s best to replace the battery when it no longer provides acceptable performance. It can be
recharged hundreds of times before it needs replacing.
Don’t store the battery in high temperature areas for long periods of time. It’s best to follow
these storage rules:
Less than one month: -4º F to 140º F (-20º C to 60º C)
More than one month: -4º F to 113º F (-20º C to 45º C)
Disposal of Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) Batteries
Do not handle a damaged or leaking Li-Ion battery as you can be burned. For safe disposal options of
your Li-Ion batteries, contact your nearest PCS-authorized service center.
Special Note: Be sure to dispose of your battery properly. In some are as, the disposal of batteries in
household or business trash may be prohibited.

Radiofrequency (RF) Energy
Understanding How Your Phone Operates
Your phone is basically a radio transmitter and receiver. When it’s turned on, it receives and
transmits radiofrequency (RF) signals. When you use your phone, the system handling your call
controls the power level. This power can range from 0.006 watts to 0.2 watts in digital mode.
Knowing Radiofrequency Safety
The design of your Phone complies with updated NCRP standards described below.
In 1991–92, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and the American National
Standards Institute (ANSI) joined in updating ANSI’s 1982 standard for safety levels with respect to
human exposure to RF signals. More than 120 scientists, engineers and physicians from universities,
government health agencies and industries developed this updated standard after reviewing the
available body of research. In 1993,the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) adopted this
updated standard in a regulation. In August 1996, the FCC adopted hybrid standard consisting of
the existing ANSI/IEEE standard and the guidelines published by the National Council of Radiation
Protection and Measurements (NCRP).
Body-Worn Operation
To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines, if you wear a handset on your body, use
the PCS supplied or approved carrying case, holster or other body-worn accessory. If you do not use a
body-worn accessory, ensure the antenna is at least 1.9 centimeters from your body when
transmitting. Use of non-PSC approved accessories may violate FCC RF exposure guidelines.
For more information about RF exposure, visit the FCC Web site at www.fcc.gov.
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) for Wireless Phones
The SAR is a value that corresponds to the relative amount of RF energy absorbed in the head of a
user of a wireless handset. The SAR value of a phone is the result of an extensive testing, measuring
and calculation process. It does not represent how much RF the phone emits. All phone models are
tested at their highest value in strict laboratory settings. But when in operation, the SAR of a phone
can be substantially less than the level reported to the FCC. This is because of a variety of factors
including its proximity to a base station antenna, phone design and other factors. What is important
to remember is that each phone meets strict federal guidelines. Variations in SARs do not represent
a variation in safety.
All phones must meet the federal standard, which incorporates a substantial margin of safety. As
stated above, variations in SAR values between different model phones do not mean variations in
safety. SAR values at or below the federal standard of 1.6 W/kg are considered safe for use by the
public.
The highest reported SAR values of the SCP-M1 are:
Cellular CDMA modes (Part 22) - Head: 0.711 W/kg; Body-worn: 0.472 W/kg
PCS CDMA mode (Part 24) - Head: 1.22 W/kg; Body-worn: 0.583 W/kg
FCC Radiofrequency Emission
This phone meets the FCC Radiofrequency Emission Guidelines. FCC ID number:
AEZSCP-M1. More information on the phone’s SAR can be found from the following FCC Web site:
