Hand-Held Portable PCS Telephone
IMPORTANT
Read this information before using
your PCS 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 Commission (FCC) adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for
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 (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 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 shoulder.
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.
Batteries
Caution: All batteries can cause property damage, injury or burns if a conductive material, such as jewelry, keys or beaded chains, touches exposed terminals. The material may complete an electrical circuit and become quite hot. To protect against such unwanted current drain, exercise care in handling any charged battery, particularly when placing it inside your pocket, purse or other container with metal objects. Your batteries are packed with a protective battery cover. When the battery is detached from the phone, please use this cover for storing your battery when not in use.
