Read this information before using your portable phone General Since its introduction in the mid 1980s the portable phone is one of the most exciting and innovative products ever developed. With it, you can stay in contact with your office, your home, emergency services, and others. Your telephone is a radio transmitter and receiver. When it is ON it receives and also sends out radio frequency (RF) energy. Depending upon the type of mobile phone you have purchased, it operates in different frequency ranges and employs commonly used modulation techniques. When you use your phone, the system handling your call controls the power level at which your phone transmits. For safe and efficient operation of your phone, observe these guidelines. ommendations, and international exposure standards, such as: manual to see if you may change the antenna yourself. If so, use only an Ericsson approved antenna. Otherwise, take your phone to a qualified service centre for repair. Use only the designated Ericsson antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage the phone and may violate the appropriate regulations. Do not use an antenna designed for any other type of portable telephone than the telephone you have purchased. · CENELEC European Pre-standard ENV50166-2 · ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1992 (USA, Asia-Pacific) If you want to limit RF exposure even further, you may choose to control the duration of your calls and operate your phone in the most power efficient manner. Efficient Phone Operation How to use your phone for optimum performance with minimum power consumption: Driving Check the laws and regulations on the use of telephones in the areas where you drive. Always obey them. Also, when using your phone while driving, please: · Hold the phone as you would any other telephone. While speaking directly into the mouthpiece, angle the antenna in a direction up and over your shoulder. If the antenna is extendable, it should be extended during a call. Exposure to Radio Frequency Energy The International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP), sponsored by the World Health Organization (WHO), published a statement in 1996 which sets limits for exposure to RF fields from handheld mobile phone. According to this statement, which is based on the available body of research, there is no evidence that mobile terminals meeting the recommended limits can cause any adverse health effects. All Ericsson telephones conform to the ICNIRP rec- · Do not hold the antenna when the phone is in use. Holding the antenna affects call quality, may cause the phone to operate at a higher power level than needed and shorten talk and standby times. · Give full attention to driving. · Use handsfree operation, if available. · Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving conditions so require. RF energy may affect some electronic systems in motor vehicles. In addition, some vehicle manufacturers forbid the use of mobile phones in their vehicles. Check with your vehicle manufacturer's representative to be sure your phone will not affect the electronic systems of your vehicle. Antenna Care and Replacement The antenna is sensitive and should not be bent since this will reduce its performance. Do not use the phone with a damaged antenna. Replace a damaged antenna immediately. Consult your LZT 126 1352/x R2A v EN Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use Electronic devices Most modern electronic equipment, for example, equipment in hospitals and cars, is shielded from RF energy. However, RF energy from telephones may affect some electronic equipment. Turn your phone OFF in health care facilities when regulations posted in the areas instruct you to do so. Always request permission before using your phone near medical equipment. Mobile telephones may affect the operation of some implanted cardiac pacemakers, equipment for people with hearing impairments and other medically implanted equipment. Pacemaker patients should be aware that the use of a mobile phone very close to a pacemaker may cause the device to malfunction. Avoid placing the phone over the pacemaker, i.e. in your breast pocket. When using the phone, place it at your ear opposite the pacemaker. If a distance of 15 cm is kept between the phone and the pacemaker, the risk of interference is limited. Contact your cardiologist for more information. nication systems, you must not use your phone while the plane is in the air. areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.
