Safety Instruction

Potentially explosive atmospheres
Turn the cordless telephone off when in an area with a potentially explosive atmosphere. It is rare, but the telephone 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 gas
stations), below deck 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 any compartment of a vehicle which also contains the telephone and
accessories.
In the U.S., vehicles powered by liquid petroleum gas (such as propane or butane) must comply with the National Fire Protection
Standard (NFPA-58). For a copy of this standard, contact the National Fire Protection Association, One Battery march Park, Quince,
Massachusetts 02269, Attention: Publication Sales Division.
Operation procedures
In the U.S, cordless telephones are subject to the rules and regulations of the FCC. Following these rules will help to eliminate
confusion, ensure the most efficient use of the existing frequencies, and result in a smoothly functioning radio network.
The following offences are punishable by fine, imprisonment, or both:
•Use of profane, indecent, or obscene language.
•Transmission of a false distress signaller call.
•Wilful or malicious interference with any other radio communications.
•Refusal to yield a channel or radio frequency when informed that it is needed for an emergency call. Emergency calls have
priority over all messages.
•Adjustment of the equipment by anyone other than a qualified licensed technician.
Exposure to radio frequency signals
The i75 VoWiFi telephone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limit for
exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the U.S. Government and
Canada. These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and established permitted levels of RF energy for the general population.
These guidelines are based on the safety standards previously set by both U.S. and international standards bodies.
These standards include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health. The
exposure standards for wireless mobile telephones employs a unit of measure known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR.
Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions specified by the FCC with the telephone transmitting at its highest
certified power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual
SAR level of the telephone while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the telephone is designed to
operate at multiple power levels. The SAR limit set by the FCC and Canada is 1.6W/kg averaged over one gram of tissue.
Before a telephone model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the limit
established by government-adopted requirement for safe exposure. The tests are performed in positions and locations (for example,
at the ear and worn on the body) as required by the FCC for each model.
The highest SAR value for this telephone when tested for normal operation is 0.036 W/kg. While there may be differences
between the SAR levels of various telephones and at various positions, they all meet the government requirement for safe
exposure.
For body worn operation, to maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines, use only Ascom approved accessories. When
carrying the telephone while it is on, use only the specific Ascom belt clip that has been tested for compliance.
The highest SAR value for this telephone when tested for body worn operation is 0.117 W/kg. While there may be
differences between the SAR levels of various telephones and at various positions, they all meet the government
requirement for safe exposure.
Use of non-Ascom approved accessories may violate the FCC RF exposure guidelines and should be avoided.
Most modern electronic equipment (for example, equipment in hospitals and cars) is shielded from RF energy. However, RF energy
from cordless telephones may affect some electronic equipment. RF Exposure:
This device and its antenna must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
This device has been shown to be capable of compliance for localized specific absorption rate (SAR) for uncontrolled
environment/general population exposure limits specified in ANSI/IEEE Std. C95.1-1992 and had been tested in accordance with the
measurement procedures specified in FCC/OET Bulletin 65 Supplement C (2001) and IEEE Std. 1528-2003 December 2003).
