HONE AFETY Background The hand-held portable personal communication service telephone is one of the most exciting and innovative electronic products ever developed. With it you can stay in contact with your office, your home, emergency services etc. Your personal communication service telephone is a radio transmitter and receiver.
In March 1993, The U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) proposed the adoption of this updated standard. The design of the QCP 800/QCP 1900 phone complies with this updated standard. Of course, if you want to limit RF exposure even further than the updated ANSI Standard, you may choose to control the duration of your calls and operate your phone in the most power efficient manner.
Caring for the Battery For best battery performance, follow these guidelines: • Only use QUALCOMM battery packs, model number TABAT0001, and QUALCOMM chargers, model numbers TATVL0001 or TADTC0002. Do not use any other battery pack or charger. QUALCOMM’s chargers are designed to maximize the battery life performance.
