PHONE SAFETY AND CARE Background The hand-held portable personal communication service telephone is one of the most exciting and innovative electronic products ever developed. With it you can stay in contact with your office, your home, emergency services etc. Your personal communication service telephone is a radio transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it receives and also sends out radio frequency (RF) energy.
In March 1993, The U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) proposed the adoption of this updated standard. The design of the QCP 800/QCP 1900 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.
Caring for the Battery For best battery performance, follow these guidelines: • Only use QUALCOMM battery packs, model number TABAT0001, and QUALCOMM chargers, model numbers TATVL0001 or TADTC0002. Do not use any other battery pack or charger. QUALCOMM’s chargers are designed to maximize the battery life performance. • Do not charge the battery pack in temperatures outside of 32°F to 122°F (0°C to 50°C) because damage could occur.
Driving Safety Talking on the phone while driving is extremely dangerous and is illegal in some states. Remember, safety comes first. Check the laws and regulations on the use of PCS phones in the areas where you drive. Always obey them. When using the phone in the car: • Give full attention to driving. • Use hands-free operation. • Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call. If you must use the phone while driving, please use one-touch, speed dialing, and auto answer modes.
RF energy may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic operating and entertainment systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or its representative to determine if these systems are adequately shielded from external RF energy. You should also check with the manufacturer of any equipment that has been added to your vehicle. Consult the manufacturer of any personal medical devices (such as pacemakers, hearing aids, etc.
Blasting Areas To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your phone OFF when in a “blasting area” or in areas posted: “Turn off two-way radio.” Construction crews often use remote control RF devices to set off explosives. Potentially Explosive Atmospheres Turn your phone OFF when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere. It is rare but your phone or its accessories could generate sparks. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.
