Safety - Motorola 6700 User Manual

IMPORTANT
For the efficient and safe operation of
your GSM Cellular Telephone,
Read this information before use.
Your GSM cellular telephone is one of the most exciting and innovative
electronic products ever developed. With it you can stay in contact with your
office, your home, emergency services, and others, wherever service is
provided.
General
Your cellular telephone utilizes the GSM standard for cellular technology. GSM
is a newer radio frequency ("RF") technology than the current FM technology
that has been used for radio communications for decades. The GSM standard
has been established for use in the European Community and elsewhere.
Your cellular telephone is actually a low power radio transmitter and receiver.
It sends out and receives radio frequency energy. When you use your cellular
telephone, the cellular system handling your call controls both the radio
frequency and the power level of your cellular telephone.
Exposure To RF Energy
There has been some public concern about possible health effects of using
cellular telephones. Although research on health effects from RF energy has
focused for many years on the current RF technology, scientists have begun
research regarding newer radio technologies such as GSM. After existing
research had been reviewed, and after compliance to all applicable safety
standards had been tested, it has been concluded that the product is fit for
use.
If you are concerned about exposure to RF energy there are things you can do
to minimize exposure. Obviously, limiting the duration of your calls will reduce
your exposure to RF energy. In addition, you can reduce RF exposure by
operating your cellular telephone efficiently by following the below guidelines.
Efficient Phone Operation
For your phone to operate at the lowest power level, consistent with
satisfactory call quality:
If your phone has an extendable antenna, extend it fully. Some models allow
you to place a call with the antenna retracted. However, your phone operates
more efficiently with the antenna fully extended.
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.
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. Consult your manual to see if you may change the
antenna yourself. If so, use only a manufacturer-approved antenna.
Otherwise, have your antenna repaired by a qualified technician.
Use only the supplied or approved antenna. Unauthorised antennas,
modifications or attachments could damage the phone and may contravene
local RF emission regulations or invalidate type approval.
Driving
Check the laws and regulations on the use of cellular telephones in the areas
where you drive. Always obey them. Also, when using your phone while
driving, please:
• give full attention to driving,
• use hands-free operation, if available, and
• pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving
conditions so require.
