    reasonable	protection 	against 	harmful 	interference 	in 	a 	residential 	installation. 	This	
    equipment 	generates 	uses 	and 	can 	radiate 	radio 	frequency 	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	
    encouraged 	to 	try 	to 	correct 	the 	interference 	by 	one 	or 	more 	of 	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 	experienced 	radio/TV 	technician 	for 	help.
    FCC RF Exposure Information
    WARNING! Read this information before operating the device.
    In 	August 	1996, 	the 	Federal 	Communications 	Commission 	(FCC) 	of 	the 	United 	States, 	
    with 	its 	action 	in 	Report 	and 	Order 	FCC 	96-326, 	adopted 	an 	updated 	safety 	standard	
    for 	human 	exposure 	to 	Radio 	Frequency 	(RF) 	electromagnetic 	energy 	emitted 	by	
    FCC 	regulated 	transmitters. 	Those 	guidelines 	are 	consistent 	with 	the 	safety 	standard	
    previously 	set 	by 	both 	U.S. 	and 	international 	standards 	bodies. 	The 	design 	of 	this 	device	
    complies 	with 	the 	FCC 	guidelines 	and 	these 	international 	standards.
    Body-worn Operation
    This 	device 	was 	tested 	for 	typical 	use 	with 	the 	back 	of 	the 	device 	kept 	0 	inch 	(0 	cm)	
    from 	the 	body. 	
    Caution
    Use	only 	the 	supplied 	antenna. 	Use 	of 	unauthorized 	antennas 	(or 	modifications 	to 	the	
    antenna) 	could 	impair 	call 	quality, 	damage 	the 	device, 	void 	your 	warranty 	and/or 	violate	
    FCC 	regulations.  
    						
    							89For Your Safety
    Don’t	use 	the 	device 	with 	a 	damaged 	antenna. 	A 	damaged 	antenna 	could 	cause 	a	
    minor 	skin 	burn. 	Contact 	your 	local 	dealer 	for 	a 	replacement 	antenna.
    Consumer Information About Radio Frequency 
    Emissions
    Your 	wireless 	device, 	which 	contains 	a 	radio 	transmitter 	and 	receiver, 	emits 	radio	
    frequency 	energy 	during 	use. 	The 	following 	consumer 	information 	addresses 	commonly	
    asked 	questions 	about 	the 	health 	effects 	of 	wireless 	devices.
    Are wireless devices safe?
    Scientific 	research 	on 	the 	subject 	of 	wireless 	devices 	and 	radio 	frequency 	(“RF”) 	energy	
    has 	been 	conducted 	worldwide 	for 	many 	years, 	and 	continues. 	In 	the 	United 	States, 	the	
    Food 	and 	Drug 	Administration 	(“FDA”) 	and 	the 	Federal 	Communications 	Commission	
    (“FCC”) 	set 	policies 	and 	procedures 	for 	wireless 	devices. 	The 	FDA 	issued 	a 	website	
    publication 	on 	health 	issues 	related 	to 	device 	usage 	where 	it 	states, 	The 	scientific	
    community 	at 	large 	… 	believes 	that 	the 	weight 	of 	scientific 	evidence 	does 	not 	show	
    an 	association 	between 	exposure 	to 	radiofrequency 	(RF) 	from 	the 	devices 	and 	adverse	
    health 	outcomes. 	Still 	the 	scientific 	community 	does 	recommend 	conducting 	additional	
    research 	to 	address 	gaps 	in 	knowledge. 	That 	research 	is 	being 	conducted 	around 	the	
    world 	and 	FDA 	continues 	to 	monitor 	developments 	in 	this 	field. 	You 	can 	access 	the	
    joint 	FDA/FCC 	website 	at 	http://www.fda.gov 	(under 	“C” 	in 	the 	subject 	index, 	select 	Cell	
    Phones 	> 	Research). 	You 	can 	also 	contact 	the 	FDA 	toll-free 	at 	(888) 	463-6332 	or 	(888)	
    INFO-FDA. 	In 	June 	2000, 	the 	FDA 	entered 	into 	a 	cooperative 	research 	and 	development	
    agreement 	through 	which 	additional 	scientific 	research 	is 	being 	conducted. 	The 	FCC	
    issued 	its 	own 	website 	publication 	stating 	that 	“there 	is 	no 	scientific 	evidence 	that	
    proves 	that 	wireless 	device 	usage 	can 	lead 	to 	cancer 	or 	a 	variety 	of 	other 	problems, 	
    including 	headaches, 	dizziness 	or 	memory 	loss”.
    This 	publication 	is 	available 	at 	http://www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety 	or 	through 	the 	FCC 	at
