O L English 4 Contents Safety IMPORTANT READ THIS INFORMATION BEFORE USING YOUR TRANSPORTABLE CELLULAR TELEPHONE The cellular telephone is one of the most exciting and innovative electronic products ever developed. With it you can stay in contact with your office, your home, emergency services, and others. Over 120 scientists, engineers, and physicians from universities, government health agencies, and industry, after reviewing the available body of research, developed this updated standard. In March, 1993 the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of N. America proposed the adoption of this updated standard. To operate within this updated ANSI standard, use your phone as described under "Efficient Phone Operation". Efficient Phone Operation Do not operate your transportable cellular telephone when holding the antenna, or when any person is within 10 centimetres (4 inches) of the antenna. Of course, if you want to limit RF exposure even further than the updated ANSI standard, you may chose to control the duration of your calls or maintain a distance from the antenna of more than 10 centimetres (4 inches). For best call quality, keep the antenna free from obstructions and point it straight up. General For the safe and efficient operation of your phone, observe these guidelines. Your transportable cellular telephone is a radio transmitter and receiver. When the phone is ON, it sends out and receives radio frequency (RF) energy. The phone operates in the GSM frequency range of 890MHz to 960MHz (or DCS 1800 frequency range of 1710MHz and 1880MHz) and employs commonly used Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) digital modulation techniques. When you use your phone, the cellular system handling your call controls the power level at which your phone transmits. The pulsed power level can range from 0.02 of a watt to 8 watts. Antenna Care and Replacement Do not use the phone with a damaged antenna. If a damaged antenna comes into contact with the skin, a minor burn may result. Replace a damaged antenna immediately. Consult your manual to see if you may change the antenna yourself. If so, use only a manufacturer-approved antenna. Otherwise, have your antenna repaired by a qualified technician. Use only the supplied or approved antenna. Unauthorised antennas, modifications or attachments could damage the phone and may contravene local RF emission regulations or type approval. Exposure to Radio Frequency Energy Research on health effects from RF energy has focused for many years on FM radio technology. That research and studies regarding newer radio technologies, such as TDMA, have found no credible scientific evidence that adverse health effects result from the use of a portable cellular telephone. In 1991 the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE), and in 1992 the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) adopted the 1982 ANSI standard for safety levels with respect to human exposure to RF energy. Safety 5 English Driving Check the laws and regulations on the use of cellular telephones in the areas where you drive. Always obey them. Also, when using your phone while driving, please: · · · give full attention to driving, use hands-free operation, if available, and pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving conditions so require. Aircraft Turn your phone OFF before boarding any aircraft. · · Use it on the ground only with crew permission. Do not use in the air. To prevent possible interference with aircraft systems, Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations require you to have permission from a crew member to use your phone while the plane is on the ground. To prevent interference with cellular systems, local RF regulations prohibit using your phone whilst airborne. Electronic Devices Most electronic equipment, for example in hospitals and motor vehicles is shielded from RF energy. However, RF energy may effect some malfunctioning or improperly shielded electronic equipment. Children Do not allow children to play with your phone. It is not a toy. Children could hurt themselves or others (by poking themselves or others in the eye with the antenna, for example). Children could damage the phone, or make calls that increase your telephone bills. Vehicle Electronic Equipment Check with your vehicle manufacturer's representative to determine if any on board electronic equipment is adequately shielded from RF energy. Blasting Areas To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your unit OFF when in a "blasting area" or in areas posted: "turn off two-way radio". Construction crews often use remote control RF devices to set off explosives. Medical Electronic Equipment Consult the manufacturer of any personal medical devices (such as pacemakers, hearing aids, etc.) to determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF energy. Turn your phone OFF in health care facilities when any regulations posted in the area instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using RF monitoring equipment. English 6 Safety Potentially Explosive Atmospheres Turn your phone OFF when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere. It is rare, but your phone or its accessories could generate sparks. Sparks 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 fuelling areas such as petrol stations; below decks on boats; fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities; and areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders. Do not transport or store flammable gas, liquid, or explosives, in the compartment of your vehicle which contains your phone or accessories. Before using your phone in a vehicle powered by liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane) ensure that the vehicle complies with the relevant fire and safety regulations of the country in which the vehicle is to be used. This Cellular Telephone complies with all applicable RF safety standards. This cellular telephone meets the standards and recommendations for the protection of public exposure to RF electromagnetic energy established by governmental bodies and other qualified organisations, such as the following: · · · · · · Verband Deutscher Elektroingenieure (VDE) DIN-0848 Directives of the European Community, Directorate General V in Matters of Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Energy 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).
