• Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or
strong detergents to clean it. Wipe it with a soft
cloth slightly dampened in a mild soap-and-water
solution.
• Do not paint it. Paint can clog the device's moving
parts and prevent proper operation.
• Use only the supplied or an approved replacement
antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications of
attachments could damage the phone and may
violate regulations governing radio devices.
• If the phone, battery, charger, or any accessory is
not working properly, take it to your nearest
qualified service facility. The personnel there will
assist you, and if necessary, arrange for service.

Glossary
Airtime - Actual time spent talking on the wireless
phone. Most carriers bill customers based
on how many minutes of airtime they use
each month.
Antenna - A device for transmitting or receiving
signals. The size and shape of antennas
is determined, in part, by the frequency of
the signal they receive. Wireless phones
and the base station must have antennas.
Base Station - The fixed radio transmitter/receiver
that maintains communications with
mobile radio telephones within a
given area. (Typically called a cell or
cell site)
CDMA - (Code Division Multiple Access) A spread-
spectrum approach to digital transmission.
With CDMA, each conversion is digitized
and then tagged with a code. The mobile
phone deciphers only a particular code to
pick the right conversation off the air. The
transmitted signal is just above noise level
across the available bandwidth.
Channel - Communications signals transmit along
paths called channels.
Codec - Compression & Decompression.
Deactivation - The process of rendering a wireless
phone inactive.
