SAFETY INFORMATION FOR WIRELESS
HANDHELD PHONE
Read This Information Before Using Your
Handheld Portable Cellular Telephone
Exposure to radio frequency signals
Your wireless handheld portable telephone is a
low power radio transmitter and receiver. When
it is ON, it receives and also sends out radio fre-
quency (RF) signals.
In August 1996, the Federal Communications
Commissions (FCC) adopted RF exposure guidelines
with safety levels for handheld wireless phones.
Those guidelines are consistent with the safety
standards previously set by both U.S. and interna-
tional standards bodies:
ANSI C95.1 (1992) *
NCRP Report 86 (1986) *
ICNIRP (1996) *
Those standards were based on comprehensive
and periodic evaluations of the relevant scientific
literature. For example, over 120 scientists, engi-
neers, and physicians from universities, govern-
ment health agencies, and industry reviewed the
available body of research to develop the ANSI
Standard (C951).
The design of your phone complies with the FCC
guidelines (and those standards).

2* : National Council on Radiation protection and measure-
ments.
3* : International Commission on Nonionizing Radiation
Protection.
Antenna safety
Use only the supplied or an approved replacement
antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or
attachments could impair call quality, damage the
phone, or result in violation of FCC regulations.
Please contact your local dealer for replacement
antenna.
Do not use the phone with a damaged antenna. If
a damaged antenna comes into contact with the
skin, a minor burn may result. Please contact your
local dealer for replacement antenna.
Hold your phone
Your phone is equipped with an intenna. For
optimal call quality, hold the phone by the gripped
edges on the side and avoid touching the top and
bottom of the phone.
Driving safety
Talking on the phone while driving is extremely
dangerous and is illegal in some states. Remember,
safety comes first. Check the laws and regulations
on the use of phones in the areas where you drive.
Always obey them.
Also, if using your phone while driving, please:
• Give full attention to driving. Driving safely is
your first responsibility.
• Use hands-free operation, if available.
• Pull off the road and park before making
or answering a call, if driving conditions so
require.
If you must use the phone while driving, please
use one-touch, speed dialing, and auto answer
modes.
An airbag inflates with great force. DO NOT place
objects, including both installed or portable wire-
less equipment, in the area over the airbag or in
the air bag deployment area. If in-vehicle wireless
equipment is improperly installed and the air bag
inflates, serious injury could result.
WARNING:
Failure to follow these instructions may lead to serious
personal injury and possible property damage.
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 fre-
quency (RF) signals.
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded
from RF energy. However, certain electronic equip-
ment 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 mini-
mize the potential for interference.
• If you have any reason to suspect that inter-
ference is taking place, turn your phone OFF
immediately.
