General Precautions; Nonionizing Radiation - Alcatel POP3 User Manual

If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer
of your device 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 any regulations posted in
these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be
using equipment that could be sensitive to external RF energy.

Nonionizing radiation

Your device has an internal antenna. This product should be operated in its
normal-use position to ensure the radiative performance and safety of the
interference. As with other mobile radio transmitting equipment, users are
advised that for satisfactory operation of the equipment and for the safety of
personnel, it is recommended that no part of the human body be allowed to
come too close to the antenna during operation of the equipment.
Use only the supplied integral antenna. Use of unauthorized or modified
antennas may impair call quality and damage the phone, causing loss of
performance and SAR levels exceeding the recommended limits as well as
result in non-compliance with local regulatory requirements in your country.
To assure optimal phone performance and ensure human exposure to RF
energy is within the guidelines set forth in the relevant standards, always
use your device only in its normal-use position. Contact with the antenna
area may impair call quality and cause your device to operate at a higher
power level than needed. Avoiding contact with the antenna area when the
phone is IN USE optimizes the antenna performance and the battery life.
