Rules and regulations

The U.S. Federal Communications

Commission and the Industry

Canada regulate cellular/PCS

telephone service in their

respective countries. It is important

for you, the cellular/PCS telephone

user, to observe the applicable

regulations when operating your

cellular/PCS telephone in either

country. In addition to these U.S.

and Canadian federal regulations,

you may be bound also by certain

state, provincial, territorial, and

local rules and regulations, as well

as by your cellular/PCS carrier’s

tariff (the rates, terms, and

conditions of its service). If you

wish to use your cellular/PCS

telephone in both the U.S. and

Canada, please consult with your

System Operator.

Furthermore, you should

remember that your cellular/PCS

telephone is a radiotelephone, — i.e.,

it combines both wireline

technology, as used in your home

or office telephone system, and

radio technology — and that the

scope of regulations and

precautions is therefore broader

than the scope of regulations and

precautions relating to wireline-

only telephone usage.

Some of the major points of

consideration are set out below.

Please note, however, that these

“Rules and Regulations” and

“Safety Precautions” sections do

not constitute legal advice, and are

intended merely for general

information purposes. If you have

specific questions, please contact

your cellular/PCS carrier (System

Operator).

License — If your home system is

in the U.S., you do not require a

separate license to operate your

cellular/PCS telephone; obtaining

a cellular/PCS telephone access

number is sufficient to register you

as a user. If your home system is in

Canada, a separate license is

required; your carrier will assist

you in the licensing process. If you

wish to use your cellular/PCS

telephone on both sides of the

border, please contact your

cellular/PCS carrier (System

Operator).

Equipment modifications — The

U.S. Federal Communications

Commission has type-approved the

model of cellular/PCS telephone

which you have purchased, and

has allocated a specific frequency

range for cellular/PCS service. No

changes or adjustments are to be

made to your cellular/PCS

telephone.

The radio equipment shall be made

available for inspection upon

request by representatives of the

FCC or licensees.

Denial of service — A cellular/

PCS carrier may deny service

temporarily or terminate service for

violation of any government

regulations or violation of its tariff.

B2200 01-09draft3 8/21/98, 12:11 PM3

Privacy — As a telephone user, you

have come to assume a certain

standard of privacy when you

place or receive a telephone call via

the traditional wireline systems.

However, because cellular/PCS

telephones utilize radio

transmissions to effect calls, the

same standard cannot always be

assured. While it is unlawful for

any unauthorized person to

divulge or use any information

obtained from intercepting or

“listening in on” conversations

intended for others, you should not

assume that your conversation is

completely secure. Commercially

available scanning equipment can

permit a third party to monitor the

radio channels used for cellular/

PCS telephone calls.

Interference — No person shall

interfere with, or cause interference

to, any radio communication or

signal.

B2200 01-09draft3 8/21/98, 12:11 PM4

Exposure to radio

frequency energy

Research on health effects from RF

energy has focused for many years

on FM radio technology. That

research and studies regarding

newer radio technologies, such as

CDMA, have found no credible

scientific evidence that adverse

health effects result from the use of

cellular/PCS telephones.

The Institute of Electrical and

Electronics Engineers (IEEE) in

1991, and The American National

Standards Institute (ANSI) in 1992,

updated the 1982 ANSI Standard

for safety levels with respect to

human exposure to RF energy.

Over 120 scientists, engineers, and

physicians from universities,

government health agencies, and

industry, reviewed the available

research and developed this

updated Standard. In March 1993,

the U.S. Federal Communications

Commission (FCC) proposed the

adoption of this updated Standard.

The design of your phone complies

with this updated Standard. Of

course, if you want to limit RF

exposure even further than the

updated ANSI Standard, you may

choose to control the duration of

your calls and operate your phone

in the most power efficient manner.

Safety precautions

IMPORTANT

For safe and efficient

operation of your phone,

observe these guidelines.

Your dual band (analog/digital

CDMA) hand-held portable

cellular/PCS telephone uses both

analog frequency modulation (FM)

technology and digital Code

Division Multiple Access (CDMA)

technology. CDMA is a newer

radio frequency (RF) technology

than the FM technology that has

been used for radio

communications for decades.

Your dual band portable cellular/

PCS telephone is a radio

transmitter and receiver. When the

phone is ON, it receives and sends

out radio frequency (RF) energy.

The phone operates in the

frequency range of 824 MHz to 894

MHz in analog mode, and 1851

MHz to 1989 MHz in digital

CDMA mode. When you use your

phone, the cellular/PCS system

handling your call controls the

mode of operation (analog or

digital CDMA) and the power level

at which your phone transmits. In

the analog mode, the power is

continuously transmitted at a level

that can range from about 6 mW to

about 600 mW. In the digital

CDMA mode, the power is

transmitted as a digitally coded

waveform at a rate varying from

100 Hz to 800 Hz. The average

power can range from about 0.01

µW to about 300 mW.

B2200 01-09draft3 8/21/98, 12:11 PM5

Efficient phone operation

For your phone to operate at the

lowest power level consistent with

satisfactory call quality, please

observe the following guidelines:

Your phone has an extendable

antenna; extend it fully whenever

possible for maximum efficiency.

Hold the phone as you would any

other telephone. While speaking

directly into the mouthpiece,

position the antenna up and over

your shoulder.

Do not hold the antenna when the

phone is in use. Holding the

antenna affects call quality and

may cause the phone to operate at

a higher power level than needed.

Heat and sunlight

exposure

Avoid leaving your cellular/PCS

phone exposed to direct sunlight or

extreme heat. Extended exposure

to heat and sunlight may damage

the components of your cellular/

PCS phone.

Antenna care and

replacement

Do not use the phone with a

damaged antenna. If a damaged

antenna comes into contact with

the skin, a minor burn may result.

Replace a damaged antenna

immediately. Take your phone to

an authorized service center for

repair.

Use only the supplied or approved

antenna. Unauthorized antennas,

modifications, or attachments

could impair call quality, damage

the phone, and violate FCC

regulations.

Driving

Check the laws and regulations on

the use of cellular/PCS telephones

in the areas where you drive.

Always obey them. Also, when

using your phone while driving,

please:

• pay full attention to driving;

• 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 energy.

However, RF energy from cellular/

PCS telephones may affect some

electronic equipment.

RF energy may affect improperly

installed or inadequately shielded

electronic operating and

entertainment systems in motor

vehicles. Check with the

manufacturer or its representative

to determine if these systems are

adequately shielded from external

RF energy. You should also check

with the manufacturer of any

equipment that has been added to

your vehicle.

B2200 01-09draft3 8/21/98, 12:11 PM6

Medical devices

Consult the manufacturer of any

personal medical devices (such as

pacemakers, hearing aids, etc.) 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 regulations

posted in the areas instruct you to

do so. Hospitals or health care

facilities may be using equipment

that could be sensitive to external

RF energy.

Aircraft

Turn your phone OFF before

boarding any aircraft.

• Use it on the ground only with

crew permission.

• Do not use in the air.

To prevent possible interference

with aircraft systems, U.S. Federal

Aviation Administration (FAA)

regulations require you to have

permission from a crew member to

use your phone while the plane is

on the ground. To prevent

interference with aircraft

communication systems, FCC

regulations prohibit using your

phone while the plane is in the air.

Children

Do not allow children to play with

your phone. It is not a toy.

Children could hurt themselves or

others (by poking themselves or

others in the eye with the antenna,

for example). Children also could

damage the phone or make calls

that increase your telephone bill.

Blasting areas

To avoid interfering with blasting

operations, turn your unit OFF

when in a “blasting area” or in

areas posted: “Turn off two-way

radio.” Construction crews often

use remote control RF devices to

set off explosives.

Potentially explosive

atmospheres

Turn your phone OFF when in any

area with a potentially explosive

atmosphere. It is rare, but your

phone or its accessories could

generate sparks. Sparks in such

areas could cause an explosion or

fire resulting in bodily injury or

even death.

Areas with a potentially explosive

atmosphere are often, but not

always, clearly marked. They

include fueling areas such as gas

stations; below deck on boats; fuel

or chemical transfer or storage

facilities; 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’s engine.

B2200 01-09draft3 8/21/98, 12:11 PM7

Do not transport or store

flammable gas, liquid, or

explosives in the compartment of

your vehicle which contains your

phone or accessories.

In the United States, vehicles using

liquefied petroleum gas (such as

propane or butane) must comply

with the National Fire Protection

Standard (NFPA-58). For a copy of

this standard, contact the National

Fire Protection Association, One

Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA

02269, Attn: Publication Sales

Division.

In Canada, vehicles using liquefied

petroleum gas (such as propane or

butane) must comply with the

Canadian Gas Association (CAN/

CGS-B149.2). For a copy of this

standard, contact the Canadian

Standards Association, 178 Rexdale

Blvd., Etobicoke, ON M9W 1R3,

Attn.: Standard Sales Department.

To enter a hyphen, pause or link

In addition to digits, you can insert hyphens, pauses and links into the

phone number of a Phone Book entry.

Hyphens: Turn off the phone’s autohyphenation feature (see page 68)

when you want to enter a hyphen manually, e.g., when you store a

foreign number.

Pauses: When you want to send DTMF signals (see page 38) for

electronic banking, etc., inserting a pause after the first string of digits

causes the phone to pause before dialing the second string. This ensures

your counterpart is ready to accept the second string. A Time Pause

waits for a specified period of time before sending the second string. A

Hard Pause requires the pause to be manually released before sending

the second string.

Links: You can join two or more Phone Book entries (e.g., a doctor’s

phone number and your medical record number). Once you have

specified the first entry, you insert a link. Then specify the second

number by entering its memory location number.

This section contains information on the Short Messaging Service (SMS).

This feature may allow you receive “text” messages as long as there are

enough memory locations available.

Contact your service provider to see if this service is available in your area.

Receiving messages

To receive messages, the phone must be turned on. The phone supports

three types of messages: “MESSAGE” indicates a text message; “PAGE”

typically contains only digits; “VOICE MAIL” is a voice mail notification

and indicates the number of new voice mail messages stored in your
