Safety Information iiiSafety InformationSafety InformationSafety InformationSafety InformationFor your safety, please read the guidelines below carefully before you use your phone:Exposure to radio frequency signalsYour wireless handheld portable telephone is a low power transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it receives and also sends out radio frequency (RF) signals.European and international agencies have set standards and recommendations 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, engi-neers and physicians from universities, government 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 normally.RF Exposure Information (SAR)This model phone meets the government's requirements for exposure to radio waves.This phone is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission of the U.S. Government. The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg. *Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions accepted by the FCC with the phone transmitting at
iv Safety Information its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the phone while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the phone is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the poser required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output.The highest SAR value for the model phone as reported to the FCC when tested for use at the ear is 0.449 W/kg (GSM850) / 0.282 W/kg (PCS1900) / 0.475 W/kg (WLAN) and when worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is 0.642 W/kg (GSM850) / 0.784 W/kg (PCS1900) / 0.16 W/kg (WLAN). (Body-worn measurements differ among phone models, depending upon available enhancements and FCC requirements.)While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones and at various positions, they all meet the government requirement.The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model phone with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR information on this model phone is on file with the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching on FCC ID: JVP57P50.For body worn operation, this phone has been tested and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines for use with an accessory that contains no metal and the positions the handset a minimum of 1.5 cm from the body. Use of other enhancements may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines. If you do no t use a body-worn accessory and are not holding the phone at the ear, position the handset a minimum of 1.5 cm from your body when the phone is switched on.Antenna careUse only the supplied or approved replacement antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications or attachments may damage the phone and violate FCC regulations.Phone operationNormal Position: Hold the phone as you would any other telephone with the antenna pointed up and over your shoulder. 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 higher power level than otherwise needed.
Safety Information vBatteriesAll 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 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 protec-tive battery cover; please use this cover for storing your batteries when not in use.DrivingCheck 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 responsibility.• Use hands-free operation, if available.• Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving conditions so require.Electronic devicesMost modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF signals. However, certain electronic equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals from your wireless phone.PacemakersThe 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:Persons with pacemakers:Persons with pacemakers: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 potential for interference.
vi Safety Information • If you have any reason to suspect that the interference is taking place, turn your phone OFF immediately.Hearing AidsHearing AidsHearing AidsHearing AidsSome digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of such interfer-ence you may want to consult your hearing aid manufacturer to discuss alternatives.Other medical devicesIf you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of your device to deter-mine 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.VehiclesRF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or its representative regarding your vehicle. You should also consult the manufacturer of any equipment that has been added to your vehicle.Posted facilitiesTurn your phone OFF in any facility where posted notice so requires.AircraftFCC regulations prohibit using your phone while in the air. Switch OFF your phone, or change to the Flight mode before boarding an aircraft.Blasting 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.
Safety Information viiPotentially 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 instructions. Sparks, from your battery, in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death. Areas with a potentially explo-sive atmosphere are often, but not always clearly marked. They include fueling areas such as gaso-line stations; below deck on boats; fuel or chemical 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.For 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 informationThis mobile phone complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules.
