•Do not remove the antenna yourself. If your phone’s antenna is damaged please take it to a Certified Service Partner.
•Unauthorised antenna modifications, or attachments could damage the phone and may violate the appropriate regulations causing loss of performance and radio frequency (RF) energy above the recommended limits.
Efficient Phone Operation
To enjoy optimum performance with minimum power consumption please:
•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 shoulder. If the Globalstar antenna is deployed, it should be vertical 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.
Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use
General
Your mobile phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. When the phone is turned on, it receives and transmits radio frequency (RF) energy. Depending on the type of mobile phone you possess, it operates on different frequency ranges and employs commonly used modulation techniques. The system that handles your call when you are using your phone controls the power level at which your phone transmits.
