Safety Information and
Usage Guidelines
Exposure to Radio Frequency Signals
Your wireless handheld portable telephone is a low power 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
hand-held 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.l).
The design of your phone complies with the FCC guidelines (and
those standards).

Protection and Measurements; international Commission on Non-
Ionizing Radiation Protection
123 Safety Information and Usage Guidelines
Antenna Care
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.
TIPS ON EFFICIENT OPERATION: 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 a higher power level than otherwise
needed.
Driving
Check 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 7 driving safely is your first
responsibility;
0 Use hands-free operation, if available;
' Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if
driving conditions so require.
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.
Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that
a minimum separation of six (6”) inches (15.24 centimeters) 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
potential for interference.
' If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking
place, turn your phone OFF immediately.
Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing
aids. In the event of such interference, you may want to consult
your hearing aid manufacturer.
other Medical Devices
If 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 facilities may be using equipment that could be
sensitive to external RF energy.
Vehicles
RF 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.
124 Safety Information and Usage Guidelines
Posted Facilities
Turn your phone OFF in any facility where posted notices so
require.
Aircraft
FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while in the air.
Switch OFF your phone before boarding an aircraft.
Blasting Areas
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your phone
OFF when in a “blasting area" or in areas posted: “Turn off two-
way radio“. Obey all signs and instructions.
Potentially explosive atmospheres
Turn your phone OFF when in any area with a potentially
explosive atmosphere and obey all signs and instructions. Sparks
in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily
injury or even death.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are oflen but not
always clearly marked. They include fueling areas such as
gasoline smtions; 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 Bag
An 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.

Exposure to Radio Waves
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 radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal
Communications Commission of the US. 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.
Thc SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg.t Tests for SAR are
conducted using standard operating positions specified by the
FCC with the phone translnittillg 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 wircless base
station antenna, the lower the power output,
Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, it must be
testcd and certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the limit
established by the govclmnent-adoptcd requirement for safe
exposure. The tests are performed in pos ions and locations (cg,
at the ear and worn on the body) as rcquircd by the FCC for each
model. The highest SAR value for this model phone when tested
for use at the car is 0.931 W/kg and when worn on the body, as
described in this user guide, is 0.251 W/kg.
Body-worn Operation ; This device was tcstcd for typical body-
worn operations with the back of the phone kept 1.5 cm from the
body. To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure
requirements, use accessories that maintain a 1.5cm separation
distance between the user's body and the back of the phone.
The use of belt-clips, holsters and similar accessories should
not contain metallic components in its assembly.
The use of accessories that do not satisfy these requirements
may not comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, and
should be avoided.
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 emission guidelines. SAR information on this
model phone is on file with the FCC and can be found under the
Display Grant section of http:l/www.fco.gov/oet/fccid after
searching on FCC ID APYHR000027.
Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can
be found on the Cellular Telecommunications Industry
Association (CTIA) web-site at httpzllwww.wow-com.com,
* In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile
phones used by the public is L6 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over
one gram of tissue. The standard incorporates a substantial
margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and
to account for any variations in measurements.
