Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use
Read this information before using your portable phone
General
Since its introduction in the mid 1980s the portable phone is one of the most exciting and innovative prod- ucts ever developed. With it, you can stay in contact with your office, your home, emergency services, and others.
Your telephone is a radio transmitter and receiver. When it is ON it receives and also sends out radio fre- quency (RF) energy. Depending upon the type of mo- bile phone you have purchased, it operates in different frequency ranges and employs commonly used modu- lation techniques. When you use your phone, the sys- tem handling your call controls the power level at which your phone transmits.
For safe and efficient operation of your phone, observe these guidelines.
Exposure to Radio Frequency Energy
The International Commission on
ommendations, and international exposure standards, such as:
•CENELEC European
•ANSI/IEEE
If you want to limit RF exposure even further, you may choose to control the duration of your calls and operate your phone in the most power efficient man- ner.
Efficient Phone Operation
How to use your phone for optimum performance with minimum power consumption:
•Hold the phone as you would any other telephone. While speaking directly into the mouthpiece, angle the antenna in a direction up and over your shoul- der. If the antenna is extendable, it should be ex- tended during a call.
•Do not hold the antenna when the phone is in use. Holding the antenna affects call quality, may cause the phone to operate at a higher power level than needed and shorten talk and standby times.
Antenna Care and Replacement
The antenna is sensitive and should not be bent since this will reduce its performance.
Do not use the phone with a damaged antenna. Re- place a damaged antenna immediately. Consult your
manual to see if you may change the antenna yourself. If so, use only an Ericsson approved antenna. Other- wise, take your phone to a qualified service centre for repair.
Use only the designated Ericsson antenna. Unauthor- ized antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage the phone and may violate the appropriate regulations.
Do not use an antenna designed for any other type of portable telephone than the telephone you have pur- chased.
Driving
Check the laws and regulations on the use of tele- phones in the areas where you drive. Always obey them. Also, when using your phone while driving, please:
•Give full attention to driving.
•Use handsfree operation, if available.
•Pull off the road and park before making or answer- ing a call if driving conditions so require.
RF energy may affect some electronic systems in mo- tor vehicles. In addition, some vehicle manufacturers forbid the use of mobile phones in their vehicles.
Check with your vehicle manufacturer's representative to be sure your phone will not affect the electronic systems of your vehicle.
