Equipment modifications — The U.S. Federal Communications Commission has type-approved the model of PCS telephone which you have purchased, and has allocated a specific frequency range for PCS service. No changes or adjustments are to be made to your PCS telephone. The radio equipment shall be made available for inspection upon request by representatives of the FCC or licensees.
Safety precautions IMPORTANT For safe and efficient operation of your phone, observe these guidelines. Your hand-held portable PCS telephone uses digital Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) technology. CDMA is a newer radio frequency (RF) technology than the FM technology that has been used for radio communications for decades. Your portable PCS telephone is a radio transmitter and receiver. When the phone is ON, it receives and sends out radio frequency (RF) energy.
developed this updated Standard. In March 1993, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) proposed the adoption of this updated Standard. The design of your phone complies with this updated Standard. Of course, if you want to limit RF exposure even further than the updated ANSI Standard, you may choose to control the duration of your calls and operate your phone in the most power efficient manner.
Driving Check the laws and regulations on the use of PCS telephones in the areas where you drive. Always obey them. Also, when using your phone while driving, please: • pay full attention to driving; • use hands-free operation, if available; • 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 energy. However, RF energy from PCS telephones may affect some electronic equipment.
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, U.S. 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 PCS systems, FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while the plane is in the air.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always, clearly marked. They include fueling areas such as gas stations; below deck on boats; fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities; 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’s engine.
