HANDHELD PHONES
AND WARRANTY
Read This Information Before Using Your Handheld
Portable Cellular 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 Commissions (FCC)
adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for handheld
wireless phones. Those guidelines are consistent with the safety
standards previously set by both U.S. and international standards
bodies:
ANSI C95.1 (1992) *
NCRP Report 86 (1986) *
ICNIRP (1996) *
Those standards were based on comprehensive and periodic
evaluations
of the 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 ANSI Standard (C951).
The design of your cellular telephone complies with the FCC
guidelines (and those standards).
ANTENNA CARE
Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna.
Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage
the phone and may violate FCC regulations.

■ DRIVING SAFETY
Talking on the phone while driving is extremely dangerous and is
illegal in some states.
Remember, safety comes first. Check the laws and regulations on the
use of phones in the areas where you drive. Always obey them.
Also, if using your phone while driving, please:
•
Give full attention to driving. Driving safely is your first
responsibility.
•
Use hands-free operation, if available.
•
Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call,
if driving conditions so require.
If you must use the phone while driving, please use one- touch,
speed dialing, and auto answer modes.
An airbag inflates with great force. DO NOT place objects, including
both installed or portable wireless equipment, in the area over the
airbag or in the air bag deployment area. If in-vehicle wireless
equipment is improperly installed and the air bag inflates, serious
injury could result.
WARNING : Failure to follow these instructions may lead
to serious personal injury and possible
property damage.
