This can cause heat-damage to the plastic parts, the electronic components and the battery. Never drop this phone or subject it to violent impact or shock. This can cause mechanical damage.
Page 217: Caring For The Battery
Caring for the Battery Protecting Your Battery The guidelines listed below help you get the most out of your battery’s performance. Use only Sprint-approved batteries and desktop chargers. These chargers are designed to maximize battery life. Using other batteries or chargers voids your warranty and may cause damage.
Page 218: Maintaining Safe Use Of The Travel Charger
Disposal of Lithium Ion (LiIon) Batteries For safe disposal options of your LiIon batteries, contact your nearest Sprint-authorized service center. Special Note: Be sure to dispose of your battery properly. In some areas, the disposal of batteries in household or business trash may be prohibited.
Page 219 Never attempt to use an unauthorized travel charger or desktop charger with your phone in order to avoid any risk of bodily injury or property damage. Since unauthorized accessories have different specifications, they may be incompatible with your phone. Always confirm that the power cord for any accessory is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise subjected to damage or stress.
Page 220: Acknowledging Special Precautions And The Fcc Notice
Acknowledging Special Precautions and the FCC Notice FCC Notice The phone may cause TV or radio interference if used in close proximity to receiving equipment. The FCC can require you to stop using the phone if such interference cannot be eliminated. Vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane) must comply with the National Fire Protection Standard (NFPA-58).
Page 221 SAR values at or below the federal standard of 1.6 W/kg are considered safe for use by the public. The highest reported SAR values of the VM4050 are: AMPS mode (Part 22) - Head: 0.855 W/kg; Body-worn: 0.922 W/kg PCS mode (Part 24) - Head: 0.726 W/kg; Body-worn: 0.585 W/kg FCC Radiofrequency Emission This phone meets the FCC Radiofrequency Exposure Guidelines.
Page 222: Emergency Calls
Emergency Calls Never rely solely upon your wireless phone for essential communications (e.g. medical emergencies), if it can be avoided, since a wireless phone requires a complex combination of radio signals, relay stations, and landline networks for its operation. Consequently, emergency calls may not always be possible under all conditions on all wireless phone systems.
Page 223: Consumer Information On Wireless Phones
Consumer Information on Wireless Phones (The following information comes from a consumer information Web site jointly sponsored by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), entitled “Cell Phone Facts: Consumer Information on Wireless Phones.” The information reproduced herein is dated April 3, 2002.
Page 224 2. How is radiofrequency energy used? Probably the most important use of RF energy is for telecommunications. Radio and TV broadcasting, wireless phones, pagers, cordless phones, police and fire department radios, point-to- point links and satellite communications all rely on RF energy. Other uses of RF energy include microwave ovens, radar, industrial heaters and sealers, and medical treatments.
Page 225 very high levels of electromagnetic energy such as X-rays and gamma rays. Often the term radiation is used when discussing ionizing radiation (such as that associated with nuclear power plants). The energy levels associated with radiofrequency energy, including both radio waves and microwaves, are not great enough to cause the ionization of atoms and molecules.
Page 226 Many countries in Europe and elsewhere use exposure guidelines developed by the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP). The ICNIRP safety limits are generally similar to those of the NCRP and IEEE, with a few exceptions. For example, ICNIRP recommends different exposure levels in the lower and upper frequency ranges and for localized exposure from certain products such as hand-held wireless telephones.
Page 227 significantly affect the quality of the human environment. Therefore, FCC approval and licensing of transmitters and facilities must be evaluated for significant impact on the environment. Human exposure to RF radiation emitted by FCC-regulated transmitters is one of several factors that must be considered in such environmental evaluations.
Page 228 Information on SAR for a specific phone model can be obtained for many recently manufactured phones using the FCC identification (ID) number for that model. The FCC ID number is usually printed somewhere on the case of the phone. Sometimes it may be necessary to remove the battery pack to find the number.
Page 229 RF emissions, will not be placed against the head. On the other hand, if the phone is mounted against the waist or other part of the body during use, then that part of the body will absorb more RF energy. Wireless phones marketed in the U.S.
Page 230 in each group is used to transmit signals to wireless phones, and the other two antennas in each group are used to receive signals from wireless phones. At any base station site, the amount of RF energy produced depends on the number of radio channels (transmitters) per antenna and the power of each transmitter.
Page 231 radio signal (at the height of the antenna) and within a few feet from the antenna. This is, of course, very unlikely to occur. When cellular and PCS antennas are mounted on rooftops, RF levels on that roof or on others near by would probably be greater than those typically encountered on the ground.
Page 232 14. Does the FCC maintain a database that includes information on the location and technical parameters of all the transmitting towers it regulates? Each of the FCC Bureaus maintains its own licensing database system for the service(s) it regulates (e.g., television, cellular service, satellite earth stations).
Page 233 authority and FCC policy is available in a fact sheet from the FCC's Wireless Telecommunications Bureau at 16. Do wireless phones pose a health hazard? The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are associated with using wireless phones. There is no proof, however, that wireless phones are absolutely safe.
Page 234 coordinated efforts at the federal level. The following agencies belong to this working group: National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health Environmental Protection Agency Federal Communications Commission Occupational Safety and Health Administration National Telecommunications and Information Administration The National Institutes of Health participates in some interagency working group activities, as well.
Page 235 Animal experiments investigating the effects of radiofrequency energy (RF) exposures characteristic of wireless phones have yielded conflicting results that often cannot be repeated in other laboratories. A few animal studies, however, have suggested that low levels of RF could accelerate the development of cancer in laboratory animals.
Page 236 21. What is FDA doing to find out more about the possible health effects of wireless phone RF? FDA is working with the U.S. National Toxicology Program and with groups of investigators around the world to ensure that high priority animal studies are conducted to address important questions about the effects of exposure to radiofrequency energy (RF).
Page 237 products, you can use measures like those described above to reduce your RF exposure from wireless phone use. 23. What about children using wireless phones? The scientific evidence does not show a danger to users of wireless phones, including children and teenagers. If you want to take steps to lower exposure to radiofrequency energy (RF), the measures described above would apply to children and teenagers using wireless phones.
Page 238 25. Which other federal agencies have responsibilities related to potential RF health effects? Certain agencies in the Federal Government have been involved in monitoring, researching or regulating issues related to human exposure to RF radiation. These agencies include the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), the...

Moreover, it was based on an earlier RF exposure standard that has now been revised. At the present time, OSHA uses the IEEE and/or FCC exposure guidelines for enforcement purposes under OSHA's “general duty clause”...
Page 240 In 1996, the World Health Organization (WHO) established the International EMF Project to review the scientific literature and work towards resolution of health concerns over the use of RF technology.
