Body-worn Operation This device was tested for typical body-worn operations with the BC- 9900 belt-clip and LB-9900 holster models, offered by Audiovox as an accessory to this phone, and found to comply with FCC RF exposure requirements. Third-party belt-clips, holsters and similar accessories should be avoided, as they have not been tested and may not comply with FCC RF exposure limits.

Tips on Efficient Operation: For your phone to operate most efficiently: • Extend your antenna fully. • 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.

Hearing Aids Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of such interference, you may want to consult your service provider [or call the customer service line to discuss alternatives]. Other Medical Devices If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufac- turer of your device to determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF energy.

POTENTIALLY EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES Turn your phone OFF when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere and obey all signs and instructions. 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 al- ways marked clearly.
SAR Information THIS MODEL PHONE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT’S REQUIRE- MENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES. Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is de- signed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for ex- posure to radiofrequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Commu- nications Commission of the U.S.

The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model phone with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR information on this model phone is on file with the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching on FCC ID CJ6DCFC009001.
Ten Driver Safety Tips Your wireless telephone gives you the powerful ability to communi- cate by voice – almost anywhere, anytime. But an important re- sponsibility accompanies the benefits of wireless phones, one that every user must uphold. When driving a car, driving is your first responsibility. When using your wireless phone behind the wheel of a car, practice good com- mon sense and remember the following tips: 1.

7. Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that may be distracting. Make people you are talking with aware you are driving and suspend conversations that have the poten- tial to divert your attention from the road. 8. Use your wireless phone to call for help.

U.S. Food and Drug Administration Cell Phone Facts Consumer Information on Wireless Phones What kinds of phones are the subject of this update? The term “wireless phone” refers here to hand-held wireless phones with built- in antennas, often called “cell,” “mobile,” or “PCS” phones. These types of wire- less phones can expose the user to measurable radiofrequency energy (RF) because of the short distance between the phone and the user’s head.

FDA belongs to an interagency working group of the federal agencies that have responsibility for different aspects of RF safety to ensure coordinated efforts at the federal level. The following agencies belong to this working group: • National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health •...

What steps can I take to reduce my exposure to radiofrequency energy from my wireless phone? If there is a risk from these products—and at this point we do not know that there is—it is probably very small. But if you are concerned about avoiding even potential risks, you can take a few simple steps to minimize your exposure to radiofrequency energy (RF).

Do wireless phone accessories that claim to shield the head from RF radiation work? Since there are no known risks from exposure to RF emissions from wireless phones, there is no reason to believe that accessories that claim to shield the head from those emissions reduce risks.

These conditions are not similar to the conditions under which people use wire- less phones, so we don’t know with certainty what the results of such studies mean for human health. Three large epidemiology studies have been published since December 2000. Between them, the studies investigated any possible association between the use of wireless phones and primary brain cancer, glioma, meningioma, or acous- tic neuroma, tumors of the brain or salivary gland, leukemia, or other cancers.
