your wireless phone as the modem. If the utility is unable to automatically
recognize your existing area code and number, the existing number will be
displayed, and you will be prompted to enter the area code and number. The
utility configures the new wireless connections to always dial 11 digits, so that
they will work locally and also in other digital data coverage areas.
If it is determined that the connection might benefit by further optimization, an
additional connection with a “(Wireless Optimized)” suffix, will also be created.
This connection may connect faster. If you have trouble with the “(Wireless
Optimized)” connection, you can delete it from your dial-up networking folder
and use the “(Wireless)” connection.
To delete connections:
Windows XP users can access Dial-Up Networking from QuickLink Mobile by
selecting “Options”, “Control Panels”, “Network and Dial-up Connections”, right click

SPECIFIC ABSORPTION RATES (SAR)
Maximum: SAR 0.344 W/kg CDMA835 Body
SAR 0.328 W/kg PCS1900 Body
THIS MODEL PHONE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT’S REQUIREMENTS
FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.
Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and
manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radiofrequency (RF)
energy set by the Federal Communications Commission of the U.S. Government.
These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels
of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines are based on standards
that were developed by independent scientific organizations through periodic and
thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The standards include a substantial safety
margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health. 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 1.6 W/kg. *
Tests for SAR are conducted with the phone transmitting at 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 power required to reach the network. In
general, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power
output. Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and
certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the limit established by the government
adopted requirement for safe exposure. The tests are performed in positions and
locations (e.g., at the ear and worn on the body) as required by the FCC for each
model. The highest SAR value for this model phone when tested for use at the
when worn on the body , as described in this user guide, is 0.93 W/Kg. (Body-worn
measurements differ among phone models, depending upon available accessories
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
for safe exposure. 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: PP4PX-600.
Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on the
Cellular Telecommunications Industry Asso-ciation (CTIA) web-site at
http://www.wow-com.com.
* In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile phones used by the public is
1.6 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue. The standard incorporates a sub-
stantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and to account for
any variations in measurements.
