When it is ON, it receives and also sends out radio frequency (RF) signals. International agencies have set standards and recommendations for the protection of public exposure to RF electromagnetic energy. · · · · · · · International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) 1996 Verband Deutscher Elektrotechniker (VDE) DIN-0848 United States Federal Commission, Radio Frequency Exposure Guidelines (1996) National Radiological Protection Board of the United Kingdom, GS 11, 1988 American National Standards Institute (ANSI) IEEE. C95.1-1992 National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP). Report 86 Department of Health and Welfare Canada. Safety Code 6 These standards are based on extensive scientific review. For example, over 120 scientists, engineers, and physicians from universities, government health agencies, and industry reviewed the available body of research to develop the updated ANSI Standard. The design of your phone complies with these standards when used normally. Antenna Care Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage the phone and may violate local agency regulations. Safety Information 7 Phone Operation NORMAL POSITION: Hold the phone as you would any other telephone. Make sure the antenna is extended fully and rotated to either the left or right detente. The antenna should be vertical to the ground and have a clear view of the sky. TIPS ON EFFICIENT OPERATION: For your phone to operate most efficiently: · · · Extend and rotate your antenna fully. Make sure the antenna has a clear view of the sky. 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. Batteries Caution: All batteries can cause property damage, injury or burns if a conductive material, such as jewelry, keys or beaded chains, touches exposed terminals. The material may complete an electrical circuit and become quite hot. To protect against such unwanted current drain, exercise care in handling any charged battery, particularly when placing it inside your pocket, purse or other container with metal objects. When the battery is detached from the phone, your batteries are packed with a protective battery cover; please use this cover for storing your batteries when not in use. 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 responsibility; Use hands-free operation, if available; Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving conditions so require. Electronic Devices Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF signals. However, certain electronic equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals from your wireless phone. 8 Safety Information Pacemakers The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum separation of six (6) inches be maintained between a handheld wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with the independent research by and recommendations of Wireless Technology Research. Persons with pacemakers: · · · · Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than six inches from their pacemaker when the phone is turned ON; Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket; Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for interference; If you have any reason to suspect interference is taking place, turn your phone OFF immediately. Hearing Aids Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of such interference, you may want to consult your hearing aid manufacturer to discuss alternatives. Other Medical Devices If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of your device to determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this information. Turn your phone OFF in health care facilities when any regulations posted in these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment that could be sensitive to external RF energy. Vehicles RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or its representative regarding your vehicle. You should also consult the manufacturer of any equipment that has been added to your vehicle. Posted Facilities Turn your phone OFF in any facility where posted notices so require. Safety Information 9 Aircraft Airline regulations prohibit using your phone while in the air. Switch OFF your phone before boarding an aircraft. Blasting Areas To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your phone OFF when in a blasting area or in areas posted: · · Turn off two-way radios. Obey all signs and instructions. Potentially Explosive Atmospheres Turn your phone OFF and do not remove your battery when you are in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere. Obey all signs and instructions. Sparks from your battery in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death. Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often but not always clearly marked. They include, but are not limited to: fueling areas such as gasoline stations; below deck on boats; fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities; areas where fuel odors are present (for example, if a gas/propane leak occurs in a car or home); areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders; and any other area where you normally would be advised to turn off your vehicle engine. For Vehicles Equipped with an Air Bag 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. 10 Safety Information Overview This chapter provides an overview of your new satellite phone.
