Getting the Most Out of Your Reception
Keeping Tabs on Signal Strength
health and safety
information
The quality of each call you make or receive depends on the
signal strength in your area. Your phone informs you of the
current signal strength by displaying a number of bars next
to the signal strength icon. The more bars displayed, the
stronger the signal. If you’re inside a building, being near a
window may give you better reception.
Comply with the following precautions to avoid dangerous or
illegal situations and to ensure peak performance of your
mobile phone.
Understanding How Your Phone Operates
Your phone is basically a radio transmitter and receiver.
When it’s turned on, it receives and transmits radio
frequency (RF) signals. When you use your phone, the
system handling your call controls the power level. This
power can range from 0.006 watts to 0.2 watts in digital
mode.
109
Knowing Radio Frequency Safety
Maintaining Your Phone’s Peak Performance
The design of your phone complies with updated NCRP
standards described below. In 1991-92, the Institute of
Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and the
American National Standards Institute (ANSI) joined in
updating ANSI’s 1982 standard for safety levels with respect
to human exposure to RF signals. More than 120 scientists,
engineers and physicians from universities, government
health agencies and industries developed this updated
standard after reviewing the available body of research. In
1993, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
adopted this updated standard in a regulation. In August
1996, the FCC adopted hybrid standard consisting of the
existing ANSI/IEEE standard and the guidelines published
by the National Council of Radiation Protection and
Measurements (NCRP).
There are several simple guidelines for operating your
phone properly and maintaining safe, satisfactory service.
•
•
Speak directly into the mouthpiece.
Avoid exposing your phone and accessories to rain or
liquid spills. If your phone does get wet, immediately turn
the power off and remove the battery. If it’s inoperable,
return it to a dealer store or call Customer Support for
service.
For the best care of your phone, only authorized
personnel should service your phone and
accessories. Faulty service may void the warranty.
110
•
•
•
When available, use a hands-free phone.
Position your phone within easy reach.
Safe Use of and Access to Your Phone
Failure to follow the instructions outlined may lead to serious
personal injury and possible property damage.
Let the person you are speaking to know you are driving;
if necessary, suspend the call in heavy traffic or
hazardous weather conditions.
Excessive exposure to sound at high volumes can
cause hearing damage. Always turn the volume
down before plugging the headphones into an audio
source and use only the minimum volume setting
necessary to hear your conversation or music.
•
•
•
•
Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while
driving.
Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place
calls when stationary or before pulling into traffic.
Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations
that may divert your attention from the road.
Using Your Phone While Driving
Talking on your phone while driving (or operating the phone
without a hands-free phone) is prohibited in some
jurisdictions. Laws vary as to specific restrictions.
Remember that safety always comes first.
Dial 911 to report serious emergencies. It’s free from
your wireless phone.
•
•
Use your phone to help others in emergencies.
Call roadside assistance or a special non-emergency
wireless number when necessary.
When using your phone in the car:
•
Get to know your phone and its features, such as speed
dial and re-dial.
111
with the manufacturer regarding any equipment that has
been added to your vehicle.
Following Safety Guidelines
To operate your phone safely and efficiently, always follow
any special regulations in a given area. Turn your phone off
in areas where use is forbidden or when it may cause
interference or danger.
Consult the manufacturer of any personal medical phones,
such as pacemakers and hearing aids, to determine if they
are adequately shielded from external RF signals.
Always turn off the phone in health care facilities and
request permission before using the phone near
medical equipment.
Using Your Phone Near Other Electronic
Devices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from radio
frequency (RF) signals. However, RF signals from wireless
phones may affect inadequately shielded electronic
equipment.
Turning Off Your Phone Before Flying
Turn off your phone before boarding any aircraft. To prevent
possible interference with aircraft systems, the U.S. Federal
Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations require you to
have permission from a crew member to use your phone
while the plane is on the ground. To prevent any risk of
interference, FCC regulations prohibit using your phone
while the plane is in the air.
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately
shielded electronic operating systems and/or entertainment
systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or
their representative to determine if these systems are
adequately shielded from external RF signals. Also check
112
•
Any other area where you would normally be advised to
turn off your vehicle’s engine.
Turning Off Your Phone in Dangerous Areas
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn off your phone
when in a blasting area or in other areas with signs indicating
that two-way radios should be turned off. Construction crews
often use remote-control RF phones to set off explosives.
Never transport or store flammable gas, liquid or
explosives in the compartment of your vehicle that
contains your phone or accessories.
Turn off your phone when you are in an area with a potentially
explosive atmosphere. Although it is rare, your phone or its
accessories could generate sparks. Sparks could cause an
explosion or a fire resulting in bodily injury or even death. These
areas are often, but not always, clearly marked. These areas
include:
Turning Off Your Phone During Thunderstorms
Do not use your phone during a thunderstorm. Your phone
may malfunction and your risk of electric shock is increased.
•
•
•
•
Fueling areas such as gas stations.
Below deck on boats.
Restricting Children’s Access to your Phone
Your phone is not a toy. Children should not be allowed to
play with it because they could hurt themselves and others,
damage the phone, dial 911 by mistake or make calls that
increase your phone bill.
Fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities.
Areas where the air contains chemicals or particles such
as grain, dust or metal powders.

Information to User
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with
the limits of a Class B digital phone, pursuant to Part 15 of
the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and
can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and
used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation; if this equipment does cause harmful
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for
help.
Specific Absorption Rates (SAR)
The SAR is a value that corresponds to the relative amount
of RF energy absorbed in the head of a user of a wireless
handset.
The SAR value of a phone is the result of an extensive
testing, measuring and calculation process. It does not
116
represent how much RF the phone emits. All phone models
are tested at their highest value in strict laboratory settings.
But when in operation, the SAR of a phone can be
substantially less than the level reported to the FCC. This is
because of a variety of factors including its proximity to a
base station antenna, phone design and other factors. What
is important to remember is that each phone meets strict
federal guidelines. Variations in SARs do not represent a
variation in safety.
UMTS V: Head: 0.38 W/Kg; Body-worn: 0.36 W/Kg
UMTS II: Head: 0.42 W/Kg; Body-worn: 0.44 W/Kg
2.4 GHz WLAN: Head: 0.36 W/Kg; Body-worn: 0.08 W/Kg
Owner’s Record
The model number, regulatory number and serial number
are located on a nameplate inside the battery compartment.
Record the serial number in the space provided below. This
will be helpful if you need to contact us about your phone in
the future.
All phones must meet the federal standard, which
incorporates a substantial margin of safety. As stated above,
variations in SAR values between different model phones do
not mean variations in safety. SAR values at or below the
federal standard of 1.6 W/kg are considered safe for use by
the public.

The highest reported SAR values of the 896 are:
