Exposure to Radio Frequency Signals Your wireless portable telephone is a low power radio transmitter and receiver. 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. v 9570.book Page vi Monday, March 15, 1999 4:43 PM Phone Operation Do not operate your mobile telephone when a person is within 8 inches (20 centimeters) of the antenna. A person or object within 8 inches (20 centimeters) of the antenna could impair call quality and may cause the phone to operate at a higher power level than necessary and expose that person to RF energy in excess of that established by the FCC RF Exposure Guidelines. Batteries 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. Observe the following guidelines when using your phone while driving. · · Give full attention to driving--driving safely is your first responsibility. 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 equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals from your wireless phone. Pacemakers The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum separation of six inches (6") be maintained between a wireless phone's antenna 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. vi Safety Information 9570.book Page vii Monday, March 15, 1999 4:43 PM Persons with pacemakers: · · should ALWAYS keep the phone more than six inches from their pacemaker when the phone is turned ON should turn the phone OFF immediately if you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place Other Medical Devices If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of your device to determine if it is 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. 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 radio." Obey all signs and instructions. vii 9570.book Page viii Monday, March 15, 1999 4:43 PM 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. viii Safety Information 9570.book Page 9 Monday, March 15, 1999 4:43 PM Introduction In this chapter you will learn about: · · · how to use this guide package contents product overview 9 9570.book Page 10 Monday, March 15, 1999 4:43 PM Guide Overview This guide describes: · · how to set up the 9570 Portable Dock how to use the 9570 Portable Dock To learn how to use the 9500 Portable Phone, refer to the 9500 Portable Phone User's Guide.
