30Special storage functionsHyphens, pauses and links are special functions that can be stored inyour Phone Book entries.Hyphens in Phone Book entriesYour phone has a default setting of autohyphenation ON. When youenter digits, the phone assumes you are entering a standard U.S. phonenumber (such as 800-555-1234). Every fourth and eight character is ahyphen. To enter hyphens manually (to store a foreign phone number orother type of number), turn autohyphenation OFF (see page 68).Using pauses and links to Send DTMF signalsDual Tone Multiple Frequency (DTMF) is also known as “touch-tone”.Each key on your phone’s keypad generates a distinct tone (numbertone). You use DTMF signals when you call electronic services such asanswering machines, pagers, telephone banking services, etc. (e.g., anumber that asks if you are calling from a touch-tone phone thenprompts you to enter information using the keypad). DTMF signals canbe used to route the call or identify the person calling. Instead ofsending the number tones manually one-by-one using the keypad, youcan store them in your Phone Book and send them at the touch of a key.Notes• You can send DTMF signals only during a call.• To change the length of the DTMF transmission, see “Setting thekeybeep length” on page 44.When you dial a Phone Book entry that has a hard pause or link in it, thephone displays and dials only the numbers up to the hard pause or link.When prompted, press Jog Dial to release the hard pause or link andtransmit the next set of digits. A time pause waits for a specified periodof time before sending the second string automatically.Pauses in Phone Book entriesThe pause function allows you to save a phone number andcorresponding DTMF signals together in the same Phone Book entry.• 555-1212H123 is an example of calling 555-1212, then extension 123using a hard pause.• 555-1212T123 is an example of calling 555-1212, then extension 123using a time pause.SB200 29-36 phonebook 4/9/99, 2:21 PM30

60Rules and RegulationsThe U.S. Federal CommunicationsCommission and the IndustryCanada regulate cellular/PCStelephone service in their respectivecountries. It is important for you,the cellular/PCS telephone user, toobserve the applicable regulationswhen operating your cellular/PCStelephone in either country. Inaddition to these U.S. and Canadianfederal regulations, you may bebound also by certain state,provincial, territorial, and localrules and regulations, as well as byyour cellular/PCS carrier’s tariff(the rates, terms, and conditions ofits service). If you wish to use yourcellular/PCS telephone in both theU.S. and Canada, please consultwith your System Operator.Furthermore, you should rememberthat your cellular/PCS telephone isa radiotelephone, — i.e., it combinesboth wireline technology, as used inyour home or office telephonesystem, and radio technology — andthat the scope 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; obtaining acellular/PCS telephone accessnumber is sufficient to register youas a user. If your home system is inCanada, a separate license isrequired; your carrier will assist youin the licensing process. If you wishto use your cellular/PCS telephoneon both sides of the border, pleasecontact your cellular/PCS carrier(System Operator).Equipment modifications — The U.S.Federal Communications Commissionhas type-approved the model ofcellular/PCS telephone which you havepurchased, and has allocated a specificfrequency range for cellular/PCSservice. No changes or adjustments areto be made 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.Privacy — As a telephone user, youhave come to assume a certainstandard of privacy when you placeor receive a telephone call via thetraditional wireline systems.However, because cellular/PCStelephones utilize radiotransmissions to effect calls, thesame standard cannot always beassured. While it is unlawful for anyunauthorized person to divulge oruse any information obtained fromintercepting or “listening in on”conversations intended for others,you should not assume that yourconversation is completely secure.Commercially available scanningequipment can permit a third partyto monitor the radio channels usedfor cellular/PCS telephone calls.Interference — No person shallinterfere with, or cause interference to,any radio communication or signal.SB200 57-76 index 4/9/99, 2:22 PM60
61AdditionalInformationscientific 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.Efficient 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.Safety PrecautionsIMPORTANTFor safe and efficientoperation of your phone,observe these guidelines.Your dual band (analog/digitalCDMA) hand-held portable cellular/PCS telephone uses both analogfrequency modulation (FM)technology and digital Code DivisionMultiple Access (CDMA) technology.CDMA is a newer radio frequency(RF) technology than the FMtechnology that has been used forradio communications 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 800 MHz inanalog mode and 1.9 GHz 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.Exposure 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 credibleSB200 57-76 index 4/9/99, 2:22 PM61
