DRIVING SAFETY
Talking on the handset while driving is extremely dangerous and is
illegal in some states. Remember, safety comes first. Check the laws
and regulations on the use of handsets in the areas where you
drive. Always obey them.
Also, if using your handset while driving, please:
If you must use the handset while driving, please use one-touch,
speed dialing, and auto answer modes.
An airbag inflates with great force. DO NOT place objects, including
both installed or portable wireless equipment, in the area over the
airbag or in the air bag deployment area. If in-vehicle wireless
equipment is improperly installed and the air bag inflates, serious
injury could result.

SAFETY INFORMATION FOR
WIRELESS HANDHELD HANDSETS
EXPOSURE TO RADIO FREQUENCY SIGNALS
Your wireless handheld portable device is a low power radio trans-
mitter 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 handsets. Those guidelines are consistent with the safety
standards previously set 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 (C951).
The design of your handset complies with the FCC guidelines (and
those standards).
ANTENNA CARE
Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna.
Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could
damage the handset and may violate FCC regulations.
