SAFETY INFORMATION Read The Information In This Chapter Before Using Your PPC4100 Pocket PC Phone RADIOFREQUENCY (RF) ENERGY EMISSION All portable computers produce low levels of RF energy due to the generation of digital timing pulses by its clock oscillator circuits. Your wireless handheld portable PPC4100 Pocket PC phone is a low power radio transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it receives and sends out RF signals.
Posted facilities Turn your device OFF in any facility where posted notices require so. Blasting areas To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your device OFF when in a “blasting area” or in areas posted “Turn off two-way radio”. Obey all signs and instructions. Within certain radius from some electronic equipment Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF signals.
Driving Safety When driving: - Always secure your device in its leather pouch. - Never place your device on the passenger seat or any place else in the car where it can become a projectile during a collision or stop. - An air bag inflates with great force. DO NOT place objects, including both installed or portable wireless equipment, in the area over the air bag or in the air bag deployment area. If in-vehicle wireless equipment is improperly installed and the air bag inflates, serious injury could result.
Never touch any fluid that might leak from the built-in battery. Such liquid when in contact with the eyes or skin, could cause injury to the skin or eyes. Should the liquid come into contact with the eyes, irrigate the eyes thoroughly with clean water and immediately seek medical attention. In the event the liquid comes into contact with the skin or clothing, wash it away immediately with clean water. Never allow metallic objects, such as staples and paper clips, to get into the inside of your device.
Under certain conditions, data may be lost, including: Failure to follow all instructions for use and warnings in this User’s Guide Misuse of your device Subjecting the device to static electricity and/or noise Total loss of electric charge in the backup battery Servicing of your device Use of your device in locations where the following ambient environmental conditions are exceeded: - Under normal operational use ambient temperatures not less than 32°F and not in excess of 104°F (0°C and 40°C); - With humi
- Do not carry your device with the card connected to it. This can result in the damage or loss of the card. - When the device is operating, do not insert or remove the storage card into or out of the SD/MMC slot or connect or disconnect the device from the cradle as this may cause loss of stored data, or product failure/malfunction. - Never connect cradle terminals with metallic objects, such as wires.
AC ADAPTER PRECAUTIONS Never attempt to disassemble or repair an AC adapter, and never alter the power cables or plugs as exposure to electric shock hazards may result. Always contact an authorized Audiovox service center, if repair or replacement is required. If the plug will not fit into the available outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. Improper connection can result in the risk of electric shock.
Always locate the power supply cable in an area where it will not be stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise subjected to damage or stress. Never place heavy objects on the power supply cable, as this could result in damage to the cable. Never bend or twist a power supply cable, and never pull it in an attempt to remove the AC adapter or accessory plug from a socket. Always grasp the AC adapter or the accessory plug directly when unplugging the power supply cable in order to avoid damaging the cable.
PHONE USAGE REGULATIONS Never violate any of the following FCC Rules and Regulations when using your PPC4100 Pocket PC phone. The following offenses are punishable by fine, imprisonment, or both: Using obscene, indecent, or profane language. Using the unit to give off false distress calls. Wiretapping or otherwise intercepting a telephone call, unless that person has first obtained the consent of the parties participating in the call. Making anonymous calls to annoy, harass, or molest other people.
NOTE: In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile phones used by the public is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue. The standard incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and to account for any variations in measurements. Before a phone model is made available for sale to the public, it must be tested and certified by the FCC that it does not exceed the limit established by the government-adopted requirement for safe exposure.
In such a case, FDA could require the manufacturers of wireless phones to notify users of the health hazard and to repair, replace or recall the phones so that the hazard no longer exists.
What are the results of the research done already? The research done thus far has produced conflicting results, and many studies have suffered from flaws in their research methods. Animal experiments investigating the effects of RF energy exposures characteristic of wireless phones have yielded conflicting results that often cannot be repeated in other laboratories. A few animal studies, however, have suggested that low levels of RF could accelerate the development of cancer in laboratory animals.
FDA and the Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA) have a formal Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) to do research on wireless phone safety. FDA provides the scientific oversight, obtaining input from experts in government, industry, and academic organizations. CTIA-funded research is conducted through contracts to independent investigators. The initial research will include both laboratory studies and studies of wireless phone users.
If you must conduct extended conversations using your Pocket PC phone every day, you could place more distance between your body and the device, since the exposure level drops off dramatically with distance. It is also advisable to carry your Pocket PC phone away from your body. Again, the scientific data do not demonstrate that wireless phones are harmful.
Where can I find additional information? For additional information, please refer to the following online resources: FDA web page on wireless phones: http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/phones/index.html FCC RF Safety Program: http://www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection: http://www.icnirp.de WHO International EMF Project: http://www.who.int/emf National Radiological Protection Board (UK): http://www.nrpb.org.
