Nextel comm I465 manual Driving Precautions, Operational Warnings, Knowing Radio Frequency Safety

In an aircraft, turn off your mobile device whenever instructed to do so by airline staff.

If your mobile device offers an airplane mode or similar feature, consult airline staff about using it in flight.

ImplantableMedicalDevices

If you have an implantable medical device, such as a pacemaker or defibrillator, consult your physician before using this mobile device.

Persons with implantable medical devices should observe the following precautions:

ALWAYS keep the mobile device more than 20 centimeters (8 inches) from the implantable medical device when the mobile device is turned ON.

DO NOT carry the mobile device in the breast pocket.

Use the ear opposite the implantable medical device to minimize the potential for interference.

Turn OFF the mobile device immediately if you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place.

Read and follow the directions from the manufacturer of your implantable medical device. If you have any questions about using your mobile device with your implantable medical device, consult your healthcare provider.

Driving Precautions

The use of wireless phones while driving may cause distraction. Discontinue a call if you can’t concentrate on driving.

Additionally, the use of wireless devices and their accessories may be prohibited or restricted in certain areas. Always obey the laws and regulations on the use of these products.

Responsible driving practices can be found in the “Smart Practices While Driving” section in this guide (or separate guide).

Operational Warnings

Obey all posted signs when using mobile devices in public areas.

PotentiallyExplosiveAtmospheres

Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres are often, but not always, posted and can include fueling areas, such as below decks on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities, or areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain dust, or metal powders.

When you are in such an area, turn off your mobile device, and do not remove, install, or charge batteries. In such areas, sparks can occur and cause an explosion or fire.

Knowing Radio Frequency Safety

The design of your phone complies with updated NCRP standards described below.

In 1991–92, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) joined in updating ANSI’s 1982 standard for safety levels with respect to human exposure to RF signals. More than 120 scientists, engineers and physicians from universities, government health agencies and industries developed this updated standard after reviewing the available body of research. In 1993, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) adopted this updated standard in a regulation. In August 1996, the FCC adopted hybrid standard consisting of the existing ANSI/IEEE standard and the guidelines published by the National Council of Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP).
