March, 1993, the S. Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) proposed the adoption of this
updated Standard.
The design of your 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.
For your phone to operate at the lowest power
level, consistent with satisfactory call quality,
please observe the following guidelines:
If your phone has an extendible 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.
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: take your phone
to a qualified service center for repair.
Use only the supplied or approved antenna.
Non-approved antennas, modifications, or
32
attachments could impair call quality, damage the
phone, and violate FCC regulations.
CAUTION
batteries can cause property
damage, injury or burns if 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. Exercise
care
in handling any charged battery,
particularly when placing
it
inside
your
pocket,
purse,
or
other container with metal objects.
Check the laws and regulations on the use of
cellular telephones in the areas where you drive.
Always obey them. Some jurisdictions prohibit
your using a cellular telephone while driving a
vehicle. Even if your jurisdiction does not have
such a law, we strongly suggest that, for safety
reasons, the driver use extreme caution when
operating the cellular telephone while the vehicle
is in motion. Also, when using the
driving, please:
l
give full attention to driving,
l
use hands-free operation, if available, and
l
pull off the road and park before making
or answering a call if driving conditions
so require.
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded
from RF energy. However, RF energy from cellular
telephones may affect inadequately shielded
electronic equipment.
RF energy may affect improperly installed or
inadequately shielded electronic operating and
