Privacy — As a telephone user, you have come to assume a certain standard of privacy when you place or receive a telephone call via the traditional wireline systems. However, because cellular/PCS telephones utilize radio transmissions to effect calls, the same standard cannot always be assured.
Safety precautions IMPORTANT For safe and efficient operation of your phone, observe these guidelines. Your dual band (analog/digital CDMA) hand-held portable cellular/PCS telephone uses both analog frequency modulation (FM) technology and 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 dual band portable cellular/ PCS telephone is a radio transmitter and receiver.
For your phone to operate at the lowest power level consistent with satisfactory call quality, please observe the following guidelines: Use only the supplied or approved antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could impair call quality, damage the phone, and violate FCC regulations. Your phone has an extendable antenna; extend it fully whenever possible for maximum efficiency. Driving Efficient phone operation Hold the phone as you would any other telephone.

Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this information. Do not allow children to play with your phone. It is not a toy. Children could hurt themselves or others (by poking themselves or others in the eye with the antenna, for example).
Do not transport or store flammable gas, liquid, or explosives in the compartment of your vehicle which contains your phone or accessories. In the United States, vehicles using liquefied 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 Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269, Attn: Publication Sales Division.
