Part 15.105 statement
This equipment has been tested
and found to comply with the
limits for a class B digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCCRules. These limits are designed
to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This
equipment generates uses and

energy and, if not installed and
used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio
communications. However, there
is no guarantee that interference
will not occur in a particular
installation.
If this equipment does cause
harmful interference or television
reception, which can be
determined by turning the
equipment off and on, the user is

the following measures:
Reorient or relocate the
receiving antenna.
Increase the separation
between the equipment and
receiver.
Connect the equipment into
an outlet on a circuit different
from that to which the
receiver is connected.
Consult the dealer or an

technician for help.
Cautions for Battery
Do not disassemble or open
crush, bend or deform,
puncture or shred.
Do not modify or
remanufacture, attempt to
insert foreign objects into the
battery, immerse or expose towater or other liquids, expose
to fire, explosion or other
hazard.
Only use the battery for the
system for which it is
specified. Only use the battery
with a charging system that
has been qualified with the
system per this standard. Use
of an unqualified battery or
charger may present a risk of
fire, explosion, leakage, or
other hazard.
Do not short circuit a battery
or allow metallic conductive
objects to contact battery
terminals.
Replace the battery only with
another battery that has been
qualified with the system per
this standard, IEEEStd1725 
200x.

For Your Safety
Use of an unqualified battery
may present a risk of fire,
explosion, leakage or other
hazard.
Promptly dispose of used
batteries in accordance with
local regulations.
Battery usage by children
should be supervised.
Avoid dropping the phone or
battery. If the phone or
battery is dropped, especially
on a hard surface, and the
user suspects damage, take it
to a service center for
inspection.
Improper battery use may
result in a fire, explosion or
other hazard.
For those host devices that
utilize a USB port as a
charging source, the host
device’s user manual shall
include a statement that the
phone shall only be
connected to products that
bear the USBIF logo or have
completed the USBIF
compliance program.
Adapter (Charger)
Cautions
Using the wrong battery
charger could damage your
phone and void your warranty.
The adapter or battery
charger is intended for indoor
use only.
Do not expose the adapter or
battery charger to direct sunlight
or use it in places with high
humidity, such as the bathroom.

For Your Safety
Avoid damage to your
hearing
Damage to your hearing can
occur if you are exposed to
loud sound for long periods of
time. We therefore
recommend that you do not
turn on or off the handset
close to your ear. We also
recommend that music and
call volumes are set to a
reasonable level.
If you are listening to music
while out and about, please
ensure that the volume is at a
reasonable level so that you
are aware of your
surroundings. This is
particularly imperative when
attempting to cross the street.

TIA Safety Information
Provided herein is the complete
TIA Safety Information for
Wireless Handheld phones.
Inclusion of the text coveringPacemakers, Hearing Aids, and
Other Medical Devices is
required in the owner’s manual
for CTIA Certification. Use of the
remaining TIA language is
encouraged when appropriate.
Exposure  to Radio
Frequency Signal
Your wireless handheld portable
telephone is a lowpower radio
transmitter and receiver. When it
is ON, it receives and also sends
out radio frequency (RF) signals.
In August, 1996 , the Federal
Communications Commissions
(FCC) adopted RF exposure
guidelines with safety levels for
handheld wireless phones. Those
guidelines are consistent with
the safety standards previouslyset 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
evaluations of the relevant
scientific literature. For example,
over 120 scientists, engineers,
and physicians from universities,
government health agencies, and
industry reviewed the available
body of research to develop the
ANSI Standard (C95 .1).
* American National Standards
Institute; National Council on
Radiation Protection and
Measurements; International
Commission on NonIonizing
Radiation Protection The design
of your phone complies with the
FCC guidelines (and those
standards).

Safety Guidelines
Antenna Care
Use only the supplied or an
approved replacement antenna.
Unauthorized antennas,
modifications, or attachments
could damage the phone and
may violate FCC regulations.
Phone Operation
NORMAL POSITION:Hold the
phone as you would any othertelephone with the antenna
pointed up and over your
shoulder.
Tips on Efficient Operation
For your phone to operate most
efficiently:
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.
Driving
Check the laws and regulations
on the use of wireless phones 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 handsfree operation, if
available;
Pull off the road and park
before making or answering a
call if driving conditions so
require.

Safety Guidelines
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.
Pacemakers
The Health Industry
Manufacturers Associationrecommends 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 researchby 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 that 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 AT&T.

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.
Health Care Facilities
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 use 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 addedto your vehicle.
Posted Facilities
Turn your phone OFF in any
facility where posted notices so
require.
Aircraft
FCC regulations prohibit using
your phone while in the air. Turn
your phone OFF before boarding
an aircraft.

Safety Guidelines
Blasting Are as
To avoid interfering with blasting
operations, turn your phone OFF
when in a ‘blasting areas or in
areas posted: ‘Turn off twowayradio’. Obey all signs and
instructions.
Potentially Explosive
Atmosphere Turn your phone
OFF when in any area with a
potentially explosive atmosphere
and obey all signs and
instructions. 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, marked clearly. Potential
areas may include: fueling areas
(such as gasoline stations);
below deck on boats; fuel or
chemical transfer or storage
facilities; vehicles using liquefiedpetroleum gas (such as propane
or butane); areas where the air
contains chemicals or particles
(such as grain, dust, or metal
powders); and any other area
where you would normally 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
either installed or portable
wireless equipment, in the area
over the air bag or in the air bag
deployment area. If invehicle
wireless equipment is improperly
installed and the air bag inflates,
serious injury could result.
