your vehicle. You should also consult the manufacturer of any equipment that has
been added to your vehicle.
POSTED FACILITIES
Turn your phone OFF where posted notices so require.
OTHER SAFETY GUIDELINES
AIRCRAFT
FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while in the air. Turn your phone OFF
before boarding an aircraft. Always request and obtain prior consent and approval
of an authorized airline representative before using your phone aboard an aircraft.
Always follow the instructions of the airline representative whenever using your
phone aboard an aircraft, to prevent any possible interference with airborne
electronic equipment.
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.” Obey all signs and
instructions.
POTENTIALLY EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES
Turn your phone OFF when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere and
obey all signs and instructions. 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 fueling areas such as gas stations; below deck on boats; fuel or
chemical transfer or storage facilities; vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such
as propane or butane); 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.
PRECAUTIONS
Your Handheld Portable Telephone is a high quality piece of equipment. Before
operating, read all instructions and cautionary markings on (1) AC/DC Travel Adaptor
(2) Battery and (3) Product Using Battery.
Failure to follow the directions below could result in serious bodily injury and/or
property damage due to battery liquid leakage, fire or rupture.
• DO NOT use this equipment in an extreme environment where high temperature
or high humidity exists.
• DO NOT abuse the equipment. Avoid striking, shaking or shocking. When not
using, lay down the unit to avoid possible damage due to instability.
• DO NOT expose this equipment to rain or spilled beverages.
• DO NOT use unauthorized accessories.
• DO NOT disassemble the phone or its accessories. If service or repair is required,

return unit to an authorized UTStarcom cellular service center. If unit is disas-
sembled, the risk of electric shock or fire may result.
• DO NOT short-circuit the battery terminals with metal items etc.
SAFETY INFORMATION FOR FCC RF EXPOSURE
WARNING! READ THIS INFORMATION BEFORE USING
CAUTIONS
In August 1996 the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the United States
with its action in Report and Order FCC 96-326 adopted an updated safety standard
for human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC
regulated transmitters. Those guidelines are consistent with the safety standard pre-
viously set by both U.S. and international standards bodies. The design of this phone
complies with the FCC guidelines and these international standards.
BODYWORN OPERATION
This device was tested for typical body-worn operations with the back of the
phone kept 1.5 cm. from the body. To maintain compliance requirements, use only
belt-clips, holsters or similar accessories that maintain a 1.5 cm separation distance
between the user’s Body and the back of the phone, including the antenna.
The use of belt-clips, holsters and similar accessories should not contain metallic
components in its assembly. The use of accessories that do not satisfy these
requirements may not comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, and should be
avoided.
For more information about RF exposure, please visit the FCC website at www.fcc.gov.
SAR INFORMATION
THIS MODEL PHONE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT’S
REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.
Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufac-
tured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radiofrequency (RF) energy
set by the Federal Communications Commission of the U.S. Government. These limits
are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for
the general population. The guidelines are based on standards that were developed
by independent scientific organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation
of scientific studies. The standards include a substantial safety margin designed to
assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a unit of measurement
known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6
W/kg. * Tests for SAR are conducted with the phone transmitting at its highest certi-
fied power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at
the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the phone while operating
can be well below the maximum value. This is because the phone is designed to
operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the power required to reach the
