Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often but not
always clearly marked. They include below deck on boats;
chemical transfer or storage facilities; vehicles using liquefied
petroleum gas (such as propane or butane); areas where the air
contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust or metal
powders; and any other area where you would normally be
advised to turn off your vehicle engine.
Vehicles
Only qualified personnel should service the phone, or install the
phone in a vehicle. Faulty installation or service may be dangerous
and may invalidate any warranty which may apply to the unit.
Check regularly that all wireless phone equipment in your vehicle
is mounted and operating properly.
Do not store or carry flammable liquids, gases or explosive
materials in the same compartment as the phone, its parts or
accessories.
For vehicles equipped with an air bag, remember that an air bag
inflates with great force. Do not place objects, including both
installed or portable wireless equipment, in the area over the air
bag or in the air bag deployment area. If in-vehicle wireless
equipment is improperly installed and the air bag inflates, serious
injury could result.
Switch off your phone before boarding an aircraft. The use of
wireless telephones in an aircraft may be dangerous to the
operation of the aircraft, disrupt the wireless telephone network
and may be illegal.
Failure to observe these instructions may lead to the suspension
or denial of telephone services to the offender, or legal action, or
both.
Emergency Calls

IMPORTANT!

This phone, like any wireless phone, operates using radio signals,
wireless and landline networks as well as user-programmed
functions which can not guarantee connection in all conditions.
Therefore, you should never rely solely upon any wireless phone
for essential communications (e.g. medical emergencies).
Remember, to make or receive any calls the phone must be
switched on and in a service area with adequate signal strength.
Emergency calls may not be possible on all wireless phone
networks or when certain network services and/or phone features
are in use. Check with local service providers.

Making an Emergency Call

1. If the phone is not on, switch it on

2. Key in the emergency number for your present loca-

tion (e.g. 911 or other official emergency number).

Emergency numbers vary by location.

3. Press

If certain features are in use (keyguard, restrict calls, etc.), you may
first need to turn those features off before you can make an
emergency call. Consult this document and your local cellular
service provider.
When making an emergency call, remember to give all the
necessary information as accurately as possible. Remember that
your wireless phone may be the only means of communication at
the scene of an accident - do not cut off the call until given
permission to do so.
Radio Frequency (RF) 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 handheld
wireless phones. Those guidelines are consistent with safety
standards previously set by both U.S. and international standards
bodies:
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).
