When it is ON, it receives and also sends out radio fre-quency (RF) signals.European and international agencies have set standards and recommen-dations for the protection of public exposure to RF electromagnetic energy.• International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) 1996• Verband Deutscher Elektringenieure (VDE) DIN- 0848• Directives of the European Community, Directorate General V in Matters of Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Energy• National Radiological Protection Board of the United Kingdom, GS 11, 1988• American National Standards Institute (ANSI) IEEE. C95.1- 1992• National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP). Report 86• Department of Health and Welfare Canada. Safety Code 6These standards are based on extensive scientific review. For example, over 120 scientists, engineers and physicians from universities, govern-ment health agencies and industry reviewed the available body of research to develop the updated ANSI Standard.The design of your phone complies with these standards when used nor-mally.Max. SAR measurement: Max. SAR measurement: Max. SAR measurement: Max. SAR measurement: GSM900: 0.538 W/kg(10g) 0.762W/kg(1g) DCS1800: 0.34 W/kg(10g) 0.576W/kg(1g) PCS1900: 1.27 W/kg(Body) 0.455W/kg(Head)Antenna CareAntenna CareAntenna CareAntenna CareUse only the supplied or approved replacement antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications or attachments may damage the phone and vio-late FCC regulations.Phone OperationPhone OperationPhone OperationPhone OperationNormal Position: Hold the phone as you would any other telephone with the antenna pointed up and over your shoulder. For your phone to oper-

ate 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 higher power level than otherwise needed.BatteriesBatteriesBatteriesBatteriesAll batteries can cause property damage, injury or burns if a conductive material such as jewelry, keys or beaded chains touches exposed termi-nals. The material may complete 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 battery is detached from the phone, your batteries are packed with a protective battery cover; please use this cover for storing your batteries when not in use.DrivingDrivingDrivingDrivingCheck the laws and regulations on the use of wireless telephones in the areas where you drive. Always obey them. Also, if using your phone while driving, please:• Give full attention to driving--driving safety is your first responsi-bility.• Use hands-free operation, if available.• Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driv-ing conditions so require.Electronic DevicesElectronic DevicesElectronic DevicesElectronic DevicesMost modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF signals. How-ever, certain electronic equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals from your wireless phone.PacemakersPacemakersPacemakersPacemakersThe Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a min-imum 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 ALWAYS keep the phone more than six 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 poten-tial for interference.• If you have any reason to suspect that the interference is taking place, turn your phone OFF immediately.Hearing AidsSome 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 DevicesOther Medical DevicesOther Medical DevicesOther Medical DevicesIf 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 facil-ities may be using equipment that could be sensitive to external RF energy.VehiclesRF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded elec-tronic systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or its rep-resentative regarding your vehicle. You should also consult the manufacturer of any equipment that has been added to your vehicle.Posted FacilitiesPosted FacilitiesPosted FacilitiesPosted FacilitiesTurn your phone OFF in any facility where posted notice so requires.

AircraftAircraftAircraftAircraftFCC regulations prohibit using your phone while in the air. Switch OFF your phone, or change to the Flight mode before boarding an aircraft.Blasting AreasBlasting AreasBlasting AreasBlasting AreasTo avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your phone OFF when in a “blasting area” or in area posted “TURN OFF TWO-WAY RADIO.” Obey all signs and instructions.Potentially Explosive AtmospheresPotentially Explosive AtmospheresPotentially Explosive AtmospheresPotentially Explosive AtmospheresTurn your phone OFF and do not remove the battery when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere and obey all signs and instruc-tions. Sparks, from your battery, 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 chemical transfer or storage facilities; vehicles using liquefied petro-leum gas (such as propane or butane); areas where the air contains chem-icals 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 an Air BagFor Vehicles Equipped with an Air BagFor Vehicles Equipped with an Air BagFor Vehicles Equipped with an Air BagAn air bag inflates with great force. DO NOT place objects, 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.FCC InformationFCC InformationFCC InformationFCC InformationThis device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rule. Operation is sub-ject to the condition that this device does not cause harmful interfer-ence. Specific operating restrictions: no metallic component allowed in body-worn.
