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) 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 inter- national standards bodies:

ANSI C95.1 (1992) *

NCRP Report 88 (1986) *

ICNIRP (1996) *

Those standards were based on comprehensive and peri- odic 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 phone 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.

PHONE OPERATION

Normal Position: Hold the phone as you would any other telephone with the antenna pointed up and over your shoul- der.

Tips on efficient operation:

-Fully extend your antenna.

-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 SAFETY

Talking on the phone while driving is extremely dangerous and is illegal in some states. 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 phone 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 require.
