Safety instructions
Exposure to Radio Frequency Signal
Your wireless handheld portable telephone is a lowpower 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 handheld wireless phones. Those guidelines
are consistent with the safety standards previously set by both U.S. and international
standards bodies:
ANSI C95.1 (1992) *
NCRP Report 86 (1986)
ICNIRP (1996)
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).
* American National Standards Institute; National Council on Radiation Protection and
Measurements; International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection.
The design of your phone complies with the FCC guidelines (and those standards).
100
Antenna Care
Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna. Unauthorized antennas,
modifications, or attachments could damage the phone and may violate FCC
regulations.
Phone Operation
NORMAL POSITION: Hold the phone as you would any other telephone with the
antenna pointed up and over your shoulder.
Suggestions for a more efficient operation
For your phone to operate most efficiently:
• Do not touch the antenna unnecessarily, when the phone is in use. The contact with
the antenna affects call quality, and may cause the phone to operate at a higher
power level than otherwise would be need.
• Use your phone in temperatures between 0ºC and 40ºC, if possible. Exposing your
phone to extremely low or high temperatures may result in damage, malfunction, or
even explosion.
Driving
Check the laws and regulations related to the use of wireless phones in the areas
where you drive. Always obey these regulations. Also, if using your phone while driving,
make sure to:
• Pay 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
demand so.
101
Safety instructions
Electronic Devices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF signals.
However, certain electronic equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals from
your wireless phone.
Pacemaker
The Medical Industry Manufacturers Association recommends a minimum distance of
fifteen (15) centimeters, or six (6) inches, between a handheld wireless phone and a
pacemaker, in order to avoid potential interference between them.
These advices are consistent with independent researches, and with recommendations
based on wireless technology research.
People with pacemakers should:
• ALWAYS keep the phone at least fifteen centimeters (six inches) from their pacemaker,
whenever the phone is turned on;
• Not carry the phone in a shirt pocket;
• Use the ear opposite to the pacemaker, to minimize the potential interference;
• If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, switch off your
phone immediately.
Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of such
interference, we recommend that you contact your service provider.
102
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical devices, consult your device manufacturer to
determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your doctor can help
you obtain this information.
Health Care Facilities
Turn off your phone in health care facilities, whenever there are signs asking you to
do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may use equipment that could be sensitive to
external RF energy.
Facilities with signs
Turn off the phone in any facility where warning signs request you to do so.
Airplanes
FCC regulations prohibit the use of phones while in the air. Turn off your phone before
boarding an airplane.
103
Safety instructions
Blasting Areas
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your phone off when in a 'blasting
area' or in areas with signs that read: 'Turn off two-way radios' . Obey all signs and
instructions.
Potentially Explosive Atmosphere
Turn off the phone when in an area with a potentially explosive atmosphere, and obey
all signs and instructions.
Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire that could result in personal
injury or death.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often clearly marked, but not always.
Among the potentially dangerous areas are:
Fueling areas (such as gas stations), areas below deck on boats, facilities where
chemical products are transferred or stored, vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (as
propane or butane), 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.
For vehicles equipped with air bags
Air bags inflate with strong force. Do not place objects in the area over the air bag or in
its deployment area, including wireless equipment, either installed or portable.
Serious injuries could occur if wireless equipment is improperly installed into the car
when the air bag inflates.
