Safety Information

IMPORTANT!

!

To ensure safe and efficient operation, please read the following information

and observe these guidelines whenever using your Phonecell SX3 FWT.

 

Your Phonecell SX3 FWT (Fixed Wireless Terminal) functions as both a radio transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, the FWT receives and sends out radio frequency (RF) energy. The unit may operate in frequency ranges between 824 MHz and 894 MHz. The FWT employs commonly used frequency modulation (FM) tech- niques. When you use your Phonecell SX3, the cellular system handling your call controls the power level at which your unit trans- mits. The power level can range from 0.006-wattto 3 watts.

Exposure to RF (Radio Frequency) Energy

In 1991, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), and in 1992, the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), updated the 1982 ANSI Standard for safety levels with respect to human exposure to RF energy. After reviewing the available body of research, more than 120 scientists, engineers and physicians from universities, government health agencies and industry developed this updated Standard. In March, 1993, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) proposed the adoption of this updated Standard.

The design of your Telular Phonecell SX3 FWT complies with this updated Standard. Of course, if you want to limit RF exposure even further than the updat- ed ANSI Standard, you may choose to control the duration of your calls and oper- ate your phone in the most power-efficient manner.

Safe Operation Requirement

Do not operate your Phonecell SX when any person is within 16 inches (40 cm) of the antenna.

Antenna Care and Replacement

Do not use the FWT with a damaged antenna. If a damaged antenna comes into contact with the skin, a minor burn may result. Have your antenna replaced by a qualified technician immediately. Use only a manufacturer-approved antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifica- tions, or attachments could damage the FWT and will void the Grant of Type Acceptance.

WARNING!

!allow proper ventilation. Do not block the air vents or the space beneath your Phonecell as this could cause the unit to overheat and fail.Your Phonecell SX3 must be placed or mounted on a flat, level surface to
