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) 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 international 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, engineers, and physicians from universities, government health agencies, and industry reviewed the available body of research to develop the ANSI Standard (C951).

The design of your cellular telephone complies with the FCC guidelines (and those standards).

ANTENNA CARE

Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage the phone and may violate FCC regulations.

DRIVINGSAFETY

Talking on the phone while driving is extremely dangerous and is illegal in some areas. 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 cellular telephone 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 wireless 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.
