If your phone has an extendable 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 mouthpiece, 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.
Antenna Care and Replacement
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 can 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.
Driving
Check the laws and regulations on the use of cellular
telephones in the areas where you drive. Always obey them.
Also, when using your phone while driving, please:
* give full attention to driving,
* use hands-free operation, if available, and
* pull off the road and park before making or answering
a call if driving conditions so require.
Electronic Devices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF
energy. However, RF energy from cellular telephones may
affect inadequately shielded electronic equipment.
