Radiofrequency (Rf) Energy - Sanyo SCP-3100 Operating Manual

In order to avoid damage, charge the battery only in temperatures that range from 32º F to 113º
F (0º C to 45º C).
Don't use the battery charger in direct sunlight or in high humidity areas, such as the
bathroom.
Never dispose of the battery by incineration.
Keep the metal contacts on top of the battery clean.
Don't attempt to disassemble or short-circuit the battery.
The battery may need recharging if it has not been used for a long period of time.
It's best to replace the battery when it no longer provides acceptable performance. It can be
recharged hundreds of times before it needs replacing.
Don't store the battery in high temperature areas for long periods of time. It's best to follow
these storage rules:
Less than one month: -4º F to 140º F (-20º C to 60º C)
More than one month: -4º F to 113º F (-20º C to 45º C)
Disposal of Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) Batteries
Do not handle a damaged or leaking Li-Ion battery as you can be burned. For safe disposal options of
your Li-Ion batteries, contact your nearest PCS-authorized service center.
Special Note: Be sure to dispose of your battery properly. In some are as, the disposal of batteries in
household or business trash may be prohibited.

Radiofrequency (RF) Energy

Understanding How Your Phone Operates
Your phone is basically a radio transmitter and receiver. When it's turned on, it receives and
transmits radiofrequency (RF) signals. When you use your phone, the system handling your call
controls the power level. This power can range from 0.006 watts to 0.2 watts in digital mode.
Knowing Radiofrequency Safety
The design of your Phone complies with updated NCRP standards described below.
In 1991–92, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and the American National
Standards Institute (ANSI) joined in updating ANSI's 1982 standard for safety levels with respect to
human exposure to RF signals. More than 120 scientists, engineers and physicians from universities,
government health agencies and industries developed this updated standard after reviewing the
available body of research. In 1993,the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) adopted this
updated standard in a regulation. In August 1996, the FCC adopted hybrid standard consisting of
the existing ANSI/IEEE standard and the guidelines published by the National Council of Radiation
Protection and Measurements (NCRP).
Body-Worn Operation
To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines, if you wear a handset on your body, use
the PCS supplied or approved carrying case, holster or other body-worn accessory. If you do not use a
body-worn accessory, ensure the antenna is at least 1.9 centimeters from your body when
transmitting. Use of non-PCS approved accessories may violate FCC RF exposure guidelines.
