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 phy- sicians 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.]

Users could easily navigate its intuitive menu system to access these features. The phone also supported basic text messaging, allowing users to communicate quickly and efficiently.

In terms of connectivity, the Audiovox CDM 4500 operated on CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) technology. This technology allowed for clear voice calls and improved network capacity, enabling multiple users to communicate simultaneously without significant loss in call quality. The device was compatible with various CDMA networks, making it a versatile choice for many users.

Another noteworthy aspect of the CDM 4500 was its battery life. The phone was designed to provide extended usage, with standby times of more than a week, depending on usage patterns. This was particularly appreciated by users who relied heavily on their mobile devices for communication and organization.

Additionally, the CDM 4500 featured customizable ringtones and a variety of visual alerts, allowing users to personalize their experience. Though it lacked the advanced multimedia capabilities of contemporary smartphones, it fulfilled the primary purpose of a phone: reliable communication.

In summary, the Audiovox CDM 4500 remains a representative example of early mobile phone technology, encapsulating the essential features and functions that users valued during its time. Its design, functionality, and reliable connectivity made it a sought-after device for individuals prioritizing practicality and ease of use. As technology has rapidly progressed, phones like the CDM 4500 paved the way for the smartphones that dominate the market today.
