Standard. In March, 1993, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) proposed the adoption of this updated Standard. The design of your Telular Phonecell SX3 FWT complies with this updated Standard. Of course, if you want to limit RF exposure even further than the updat- ed ANSI Standard, you may choose to control the duration of your calls and oper- ate your phone in the most power-efficient manner. - Page 22 Safety Information – Continued Batteries All batteries can cause property damage, injury, or burns if a conductive material, such as jewelry, keys, or beaded chains, touches exposed terminals. The material may complete an electrical circuit (short circuit) and become quite HOT. The Phonecell SX3 may come equipped with two batteries that serve as a backup power supply if the AC or DC power level drops below an operable level.
