SAFETY INFORMATION FOR
WIRELESS HANDHELD PHONES
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 frequency (RF) sig-
nals.
In August, 1996, the Federal Communications Commis-
sion (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 international standards bodies:
*ANSI C95.1 (1992)
*NCRP Report 88 (1986)
*ICNIRP (1996)
Those standards were based on comprehensive and
periodic evaluations of the relevant scientific literature.
For example, over 120 scientists, engineers, and physi-
cians from universities, government health agencies,
and industry reviewed the available body of research to
develop the ANSI Standard (C95.1). The design of your
phone complies with the FCC guidelines (and those
standards).
ANTENNA CARE
Use only the supplied or an approved replacement an-
tenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attach-
ments could damage the phone and may violate FCC
regulations.
PHONE OPERATION
Normal Position: Hold the phone as you would any
other telephone with the antenna pointed up and over
your shoulder.
*The meanings of the acronyms are:
ANSI
: American National Standards Institute
NCRP : National Council on Radiation Protection
and Measurements
ICNIRP: International Commission on Nonionizing
Radiation Protection

Tips on Efficient Operation:
For your phone to operate most efficiently:
• Extend your antenna fully.
• Do not touch the antenna unnecessarily when the
phone is in use. Contact with the antenna affects call
quality and may cause the phone to operate at a
higher power level than otherwise needed.
DRIVING
Check the laws and regulations on the use of wireless
telephones 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 handsfree operation, if available.
• Pull off the road and park before making or answer-
ing a call if driving conditions so require.
ELECTRONIC DEVICES
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF sig-
nals. However, certain electronic equipment may not be
shielded against the RF signals from your wireless phone.
Pacemakers
The health Industry Manufacturers Association recom-
mends that a minimum separation of six (6”) inches be
maintained between a handheld wireless phone and a
pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pace-
maker. These recommendations are consistent with the
independent research by and recommendations of Wire-
less Technology Research.
Persons with pacemakers:
Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than six
(6”) inches from their pacemaker when the
phone is turned ON.
Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket.
Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to
minimize the potential for interference.
If you have any reason to suspect that interfer-
ence is taking place, turn your phone OFF im-
mediately.
Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some
hearing aids. In the event of such interference, you may
want to consult your service provider [or call the cus-
tomer service line to discuss alternatives.]

Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the
manufacturer of your device to determine if they are ad-
equately shielded from external RF energy. Your physician
may be able to assist you in obtaining this information.
Vehicles
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately
shielded electronic systems in motor vehicles. Check with
the manufacturer or its representative regarding your
vehicle. You should also consult the manufacturer of any
equipment that has been added to your vehicle.
Posted Facilities
Turn your phone OFF in any facility where posted no-
tices so require.
AIRCRAFT
FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while in the
air. Switch OFF your phone before boarding an aircraft.
BLASTING AREAS
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your
phone OFF when in a “Blasting area” or in areas posted
“Turn off two-way radio”. Obey all signs and instructions.
POTENTIALLY EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES
Turn your phone OFF when in any area with a poten-
tially explosive atmosphere and obey all signs and in-
structions. Sparks in such areas could cause an explo-
sion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are of-
ten but not always clearly marked. They include fueling
areas such as gasoline stations, below deck on boats,
fuel or chemical transfer or storage vehicles using liq-
uefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane), ar-
eas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such
as: grain, dust, or metal powders, and any other area
where you would normally be advised to turn off your
vehicle engine.
For Vehicles Equipped with an Air Bag
An air bag inflates with great force. DO NOT place ob-
jects, including both installed or portable wireless
equipment, in the area over the air bag or in the air
bag deployment area. If in-vehicle wireless equipment
is improperly installed and the air bag inflates, serious
injury could result.
