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 shoul-
der.
Tips on efficient operation:
- 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.
DRIVING SAFETY
Talking on the phone while driving is extremely dangerous
and is illegal in some states. Remember, safety comes first.
Check the laws and regulations on the use of phones in the
areas where you drive. Always obey them.
Also, if using your phone while driving please:
- Give full attention to driving. Driving safely is your first
responsibility.
- Use hands-free operation, if available.
- Pull off the road and park before making or answering a
call, if driving conditions require.

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 Commissions
(FCC) adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for
handheld wireless phones. Those guidelines are consistent
with the safety standards
previously
set by both U.S. and inter-
national
standards bodies:
ANSI C95.1 (1992) *
NCRP Report 88 (1986) *
ICNIRP (1996) *
Those standards were based on comprehensive and peri-
odic 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 (C951).
The design of your phone complies with the FCC guidelines
(and those standards).
