3Rules and regulationsThe U.S. Federal CommunicationsCommission and the IndustryCanada regulate cellular/PCStelephone service in theirrespective countries. It is importantfor you, the cellular/PCS telephoneuser, to observe the applicableregulations when operating yourcellular/PCS telephone in eithercountry. In addition to these U.S.and Canadian federal regulations,you may be bound also by certainstate, provincial, territorial, andlocal rules and regulations, as wellas by your cellular/PCS carrier’stariff (the rates, terms, andconditions of its service). If youwish to use your cellular/PCStelephone in both the U.S. andCanada, please consult with yourSystem Operator.Furthermore, you shouldremember that your cellular/PCStelephone is a radiotelephone, — i.e.,it combines both wirelinetechnology, as used in your homeor office telephone system, andradio technology — and that thescope of regulations andprecautions is therefore broaderthan the scope of regulations andprecautions relating to wireline-only telephone usage.Some of the major points ofconsideration are set out below.Please note, however, that these“Rules and Regulations” and“Safety Precautions” sections donot constitute legal advice, and areintended merely for generalinformation purposes. If you havespecific questions, please contactyour cellular/PCS carrier (SystemOperator).License — If your home system isin the U.S., you do not require aseparate license to operate yourcellular/PCS telephone; obtaininga cellular/PCS telephone accessnumber is sufficient to register youas a user. If your home system is inCanada, a separate license isrequired; your carrier will assistyou in the licensing process. If youwish to use your cellular/PCStelephone on both sides of theborder, please contact yourcellular/PCS carrier (SystemOperator).Equipment modifications — TheU.S. Federal CommunicationsCommission has type-approved themodel of cellular/PCS telephonewhich you have purchased, andhas allocated a specific frequencyrange for cellular/PCS service. Nochanges or adjustments are to bemade to your cellular/PCStelephone.The radio equipment shall be madeavailable for inspection uponrequest by representatives of theFCC or licensees.Denial of service — A cellular/PCS carrier may deny servicetemporarily or terminate service forviolation of any governmentregulations or violation of its tariff.B2200 01-09draft3 8/21/98, 12:11 PM3
4Privacy — As a telephone user, youhave come to assume a certainstandard of privacy when youplace or receive a telephone call viathe traditional wireline systems.However, because cellular/PCStelephones utilize radiotransmissions to effect calls, thesame standard cannot always beassured. While it is unlawful forany unauthorized person todivulge or use any informationobtained from intercepting or“listening in on” conversationsintended for others, you should notassume that your conversation iscompletely secure. Commerciallyavailable scanning equipment canpermit a third party to monitor theradio channels used for cellular/PCS telephone calls.Interference — No person shallinterfere with, or cause interferenceto, any radio communication orsignal.B2200 01-09draft3 8/21/98, 12:11 PM4
5Exposure to radiofrequency energyResearch on health effects from RFenergy has focused for many yearson FM radio technology. Thatresearch and studies regardingnewer radio technologies, such asCDMA, have found no crediblescientific evidence that adversehealth effects result from the use ofcellular/PCS telephones.The Institute of Electrical andElectronics Engineers (IEEE) in1991, and The American NationalStandards Institute (ANSI) in 1992,updated the 1982 ANSI Standardfor safety levels with respect tohuman exposure to RF energy.Over 120 scientists, engineers, andphysicians from universities,government health agencies, andindustry, reviewed the availableresearch and developed thisupdated Standard. In March 1993,the U.S. Federal CommunicationsCommission (FCC) proposed theadoption of this updated Standard.The design of your phone complieswith this updated Standard. Ofcourse, if you want to limit RFexposure even further than theupdated ANSI Standard, you maychoose to control the duration ofyour calls and operate your phonein the most power efficient manner.Safety precautionsIMPORTANTFor safe and efficientoperation of your phone,observe these guidelines.Your dual band (analog/digitalCDMA) hand-held portablecellular/PCS telephone uses bothanalog frequency modulation (FM)technology and digital CodeDivision Multiple Access (CDMA)technology. CDMA is a newerradio frequency (RF) technologythan the FM technology that hasbeen used for radiocommunications for decades.Your dual band portable cellular/PCS telephone is a radiotransmitter and receiver. When thephone is ON, it receives and sendsout radio frequency (RF) energy.The phone operates in thefrequency range of 824 MHz to 894MHz in analog mode, and 1851MHz to 1989 MHz in digitalCDMA mode. When you use yourphone, the cellular/PCS systemhandling your call controls themode of operation (analog ordigital CDMA) and the power levelat which your phone transmits. Inthe analog mode, the power iscontinuously transmitted at a levelthat can range from about 6 mW toabout 600 mW. In the digitalCDMA mode, the power istransmitted as a digitally codedwaveform at a rate varying from100 Hz to 800 Hz. The averagepower can range from about 0.01µW to about 300 mW.B2200 01-09draft3 8/21/98, 12:11 PM5
6Efficient phone operationFor your phone to operate at thelowest power level consistent withsatisfactory call quality, pleaseobserve the following guidelines:Your phone has an extendableantenna; extend it fully wheneverpossible for maximum efficiency.Hold the phone as you would anyother telephone. While speakingdirectly into the mouthpiece,position the antenna up and overyour shoulder.Do not hold the antenna when thephone is in use. Holding theantenna affects call quality andmay cause the phone to operate ata higher power level than needed.Heat and sunlightexposureAvoid leaving your cellular/PCSphone exposed to direct sunlight orextreme heat. Extended exposureto heat and sunlight may damagethe components of your cellular/PCS phone.Antenna care andreplacementDo not use the phone with adamaged antenna. If a damagedantenna comes into contact withthe skin, a minor burn may result.Replace a damaged antennaimmediately. Take your phone toan authorized service center forrepair.Use only the supplied or approvedantenna. Unauthorized antennas,modifications, or attachmentscould impair call quality, damagethe phone, and violate FCCregulations.DrivingCheck the laws and regulations onthe use of cellular/PCS telephonesin the areas where you drive.Always obey them. Also, whenusing your phone while driving,please:• pay full attention to driving;• use hands-free operation, ifavailable;• pull off the road and park beforemaking or answering a call, ifdriving conditions so require.Electronic devicesMost modern electronic equipmentis shielded from RF energy.However, RF energy from cellular/PCS telephones may affect someelectronic equipment.RF energy may affect improperlyinstalled or inadequately shieldedelectronic operating andentertainment systems in motorvehicles. Check with themanufacturer or its representativeto determine if these systems areadequately shielded from externalRF energy. You should also checkwith the manufacturer of anyequipment that has been added toyour vehicle.B2200 01-09draft3 8/21/98, 12:11 PM6
7Medical devicesConsult the manufacturer of anypersonal medical devices (such aspacemakers, hearing aids, etc.) todetermine if they are adequatelyshielded from external RF energy.Your physician may be able toassist you in obtaining thisinformation.Turn your phone OFF in healthcare facilities when regulationsposted in the areas instruct you todo so. Hospitals or health carefacilities may be using equipmentthat could be sensitive to externalRF energy.AircraftTurn your phone OFF beforeboarding any aircraft.• Use it on the ground only withcrew permission.• Do not use in the air.To prevent possible interferencewith aircraft systems, U.S. FederalAviation Administration (FAA)regulations require you to havepermission from a crew member touse your phone while the plane ison the ground. To preventinterference with aircraftcommunication systems, FCCregulations prohibit using yourphone while the plane is in the air.ChildrenDo not allow children to play withyour phone. It is not a toy.Children could hurt themselves orothers (by poking themselves orothers in the eye with the antenna,for example). Children also coulddamage the phone or make callsthat increase your telephone bill.Blasting areasTo avoid interfering with blastingoperations, turn your unit OFFwhen in a “blasting area” or inareas posted: “Turn off two-wayradio.” Construction crews oftenuse remote control RF devices toset off explosives.Potentially explosiveatmospheresTurn your phone OFF when in anyarea with a potentially explosiveatmosphere. It is rare, but yourphone or its accessories couldgenerate sparks. Sparks in suchareas could cause an explosion orfire resulting in bodily injury oreven death.Areas with a potentially explosiveatmosphere are often, but notalways, clearly marked. Theyinclude fueling areas such as gasstations; below deck on boats; fuelor chemical transfer or storagefacilities; areas where the aircontains chemicals or particles,such as grain, dust, or metalpowders; and any other area whereyou would normally be advised toturn off your vehicle’s engine.B2200 01-09draft3 8/21/98, 12:11 PM7
