WARNING

When using your cellular telephone, please note that the following offenses are punishable by fine, imprisonment, or both:

Using obscene, indecent or profane language.

Using the phone to give off false distress calls.

Wiretapping or otherwise intercepting a telephone call, unless that person has first obtained the consent of the parties participating in the call.

The following text is the general TIA Safety language document. As this mobile phone is equipped with an internal antenna some paragraphs in the below text may be irrelevant. For more information about the internal antenna see page 15.

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) signals.

In August, 1996, the Federal Com- munications Commission (FCC) adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for hand-held wireless phones. Those guidelines are consistent with the safety stan- dards previously set by both U.S. and international standards bodies:

ANSI C95.1 (1992)*

NCRP Report 86 (1986)

ICNIRP (1996)

Those standards were based on comprehensive and periodic evalua- tions 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 com- plies with the FCC guidelines (and those standards).

Antenna care

Use only the supplied or an ap- proved replacement antenna. Un- authorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage the phone and may violate FCC regula- tions.

Phone operation

Nomal position: Hold the phone as you would any other telephone with the antenna pointed up and over your shoulder.

Tips on efficient operation: For your phone to operate most effi- ciently:

•Extend your antenna fully.

•Do not touch the antenna unnec- essarily 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 responsi- bility;

•Use hands-free operation, if avail- able;

•Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving conditions so require.
