ELECTRONIC DEVICES

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. Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF energy. However, certain electronic equipment may
not be shielded against the RF signals from your wireless phone. Therefore, use of your phone must be restricted in certain situations.
PACEMAKERS
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum separation of six (6") inches be maintained between a
handheld wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent
with the independent research by and recommendations of Wireless Technology Research. Persons with pacemakers:
• ALWAYS keep the phone more than six inches from your pacemaker when the phone is turned on.
• Do not carry the phone in a breast pocket.
• Use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for interference.
• If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, turn your phone OFF immediately.

HEARING AIDS

Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of such interference, you may want to consult your
service provider (or call the customer service line to discuss alternatives).

OTHER MEDICAL DEVICES

If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of your device to determine if they are adequately shielded from
external RF energy.
Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this information. Turn your phone OFF in healthcare facilities when any regulations
posted in these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or healthcare facilities may be using equipment that could be sensitive to external
RF energy.
VEHICLES
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer
or its representative regarding your vehicle. You should also consult the manufacturer of any equipment that has been added to your
vehicle.

POSTED FACILITIES

Turn your phone OFF where posted notices so require.

OTHER SAFETY GUIDELINES

AIRCRAFT
FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while in the air. Turn your phone OFF before boarding an aircraft. Always request and obtain
prior consent and approval of an authorized airline representative before using your phone aboard an aircraft.
Always follow the instructions of the airline representative whenever using your phone aboard an aircraft, to prevent any possible
interference with airborne electronic equipment.

BLASTING AREAS

To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your phone OFF when in a "blasting area" or in areas posted: "Turn off two-way
radio." Obey all signs and instructions.

POTENTIALLY EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES

Turn your phone OFF when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere and obey all signs and instructions. Sparks in such areas
could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always, clearly marked. They include fueling areas such as gas stations;
below deck on boats; fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities; vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane);
areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders; and any other area where you would normally
be advised to turn off your vehicle's engine.
PRECAUTIONS
Your Handheld Portable Telephone is a high quality piece of equipment. Before operating, read all instructions and cautionary markings
on (1) USB AC Adapter (2) Battery and (3) Product Using Battery.
Failure to follow the directions below could result in serious bodily injury and/or property damage due to battery liquid leakage, fire
or rupture.
• DO NOT use this equipment in an extreme environment where high temperature or high humidity exists.
• DO NOT abuse the equipment. Avoid striking, shaking or shocking. When not using, lay down the unit to avoid possible damage due
to instability.
• DO NOT expose this equipment to rain or spilled beverages.
• DO NOT use unauthorized accessories.
• DO NOT disassemble the phone or its accessories. If service or repair is required, return unit to an authorized PCD cellular service
center. If unit is disassembled, the risk of electric shock or fire may result.
• DO NOT short-circuit the battery terminals with metal items etc.

SAFETY INFORMATION FOR FCC RF EXPOSURE

WARNING! READ THIS INFORMATION BEFORE USING
CAUTIONS
In August 1996 the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the United States with its action in Report and Order FCC
96-326 adopted an updated safety standard for human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC regulated
transmitters. Those guidelines are consistent with the safety standard previously set by both U.S. and international standards bodies.
The design of this phone complies with the FCC guidelines and these international standards.
BODY-WORN OPERATION
This device was tested for typical body-worn operations with the back of the phone kept 2 cm. from the body. To maintain compliance
requirements, use only belt-clips, holsters or similar accessories that maintain a 2 cm separation distance between the user's Body and
the back of the phone, including the antenna.
The use of belt-clips, holsters and similar accessories should not contain metallic components in its assembly. The use of accessories that
do not satisfy these requirements may not comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, and should be avoided.
