Safety Information
For your phone to operate at the lowest power level,
consistent with satisfactory call quality, please observe the
following guidelines:
If your phone has an extendible antenna, extend it fully.
Some models allow you to place a call with the antenna
retracted. However, your phone operates more efficiently with
the antenna fully extended. Hold the phone as you would
any other telephone. While speaking directly into the mouth-
piece, position the antenna up and over your shoulder.
Do not hold the antenna when the phone is "IN USE."
Holding the antenna affects call quality and may cause the
phone to operate at a higher power level than needed.
Do not use the phone with a damaged antenna. If a damaged
antenna comes into contact with the skin, a minor burn
may result. Replace a damaged antenna immediately. Consult
your manual to see if you may change the antenna yourself.
If so, use only a manufacturer approved antenna. Otherwise,
take your phone to a qualified service center for repair.
Use only the supplied or approved antenna. Non-approved
antennas, modifications, or attachments could impair call
quality, damage the phone, and violate FCC regulations.
