IMPORTANT
Read this information before using
your PCS Telephone
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 Commission (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 standard
bodies:
1
• ANSI C95.1 (1992)
1
• NCRP Report 86 (1986)
1
• ICNIRP (1996)
1. American National Standard Institute: National Council on radiation
Protection and Measurements; International Commission on Non-
Ionizing Radiation Protection
These standards are based on comprehensive and periodic
evaluations of 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 updated ANSI Standard (C95.1).
The design of your phone complies with the FCC guidelines (and
these standards).
Antenna Care
Use only the supplied or approved replacement antenna.
Unauthorized antennas, modifications or attachments could
damage the phone and may violate FCC regulations.

Tips on Efficient Operation
efficiently:
• Extend your antenna fully (if applicable).
• 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.
