Please observe the following guide-
lines. Breaking these rules may be
dangerous or illegal:
Mobile phones must be
switched off at all times on
board an aircraft.
Do not activate near gas sta-
tions, fuel depots, chemical
plants or blasting opera-
tions.
Avoid use in hospitals; med-

Minor interference may
affect TVs, radios, PCs, etc.
Avoid pointing active
infrared port at eyes.
Do not hold the phone in
your hand while driving.
Do not dismantle phone or

ance with relevant legisla-
tion.
Do not use phone in high
humidity environments, and
do not use alcohol or other
fluids to clean the phone.
Keep the phone in a safe

WARNING
When using your cellular tele-
phone, please note that the follow-
ing offenses are punishable by fine,
imprisonment, or both:
Using obscene, indecent or profane
language.
Using the phone to give off false

Wiretapping or otherwise inter-

The following text is the general
TIA Safety language document. As
this mobile phone is equipped with
an internal antenna some para-
graphs in the below text may be
irrelevant. For more information
about the internal antenna see
page 15.
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 Com-
munications Commission (FCC)
adopted RF exposure guidelines
with safety levels for hand-held
wireless phones. Those guidelines
are consistent with the safety stan-
dards 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 evalua-
tions of the relevant scientific
literature. For example, over 120
scientists, engineers, and physi-
cians 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 com-
plies with the FCC guidelines (and
those standards).
Antenna care
Use only the supplied or an ap-
proved replacement antenna. Un-
authorized antennas, modifications,
or attachments could damage the
phone and may violate FCC regula-
tions.
Phone operation
Nomal 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 effi-
ciently:
• Extend your antenna fully.
• Do not touch the antenna unnec-
essarily 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
Check the laws and regulations on
the use of wireless telephones 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 responsi-
bility;
• Use hands-free operation, if avail-
able;
• Pull off the road and park before
making or answering a call if driving
conditions so require.
