particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interferen\
ce or television 
reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, \
the user is 
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the foll\
owing measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
•  Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. 
						

							119
For Your Safety
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to\
 which the 
receiver is connected.
•  Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
FCC RF Exposure Information
WARNING! Read this information before operating the device.
In August 1996, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the Uni\
ted States, 
with its action in Report and Order FCC 96-326, adopted an updated safet\
y standard 
for human exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) electromagnetic energy emit\
ted by FCC 
regulated transmitters. Those guidelines are consistent with the safety \
standard 
previously set by both U.S. and international standards bodies. The desi\
gn of this device 
complies with the FCC guidelines and these international standards.
Bodily Contact During Operation
This device was tested for typical use with the back of the device kept \
0 inch (0 cm) 
from the body. 
Caution
Use only the supplied antenna. Use of unauthorized antennas (or modific\
ations to the 
antenna) could impair call quality, damage the device, void your warranty and/or violate 
FCC regulations.
Don’t use the device with a damaged antenna. A damaged antenna could cause a\
 minor 
skin burn. Contact your local dealer for a replacement antenna.

Consumer Information About Radio Frequency Emissions
Your wireless device, which contains a radio transmitter and receiver, emits radio 
frequency energy during use. The following consumer information addresse\
s commonly 
asked questions about the health effects of wireless devices.
Are wireless devices safe?
Scientific research on the subject of wireless devices and radio frequen\
cy (“RF”) energy 
has been conducted worldwide for many years, and continues. In the Unite\
d States, the 
Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) and the Federal Communicati\
ons Commission 
(“FCC”) set policies and procedures for wireless devices. The FD\
A issued a website 
publication on health issues related to device usage where it states, Th\
e scientific 
community at large … believes that the weight of scientific evidence \
does not show 
an association between exposure to radiofrequency (RF) from the device\
s and adverse 
health outcomes. Still the scientific community does recommend conductin\
g additional 
research to address gaps in knowledge. That research is being conducted \
around the 
world and FDA continues to monitor developments in this field. You can access the joint 
FDA/FCC website at http://www.fda.gov (under “C” in the subject index, select Cell 
Phones > Research). You can also contact the FDA toll-free at (888) 463-6332 or (888) 
INFO-FDA. In June 2000, the FDA entered into a cooperative research and \
development 
agreement through which additional scientific research is being conducte\
d. The FCC 
issued its own website publication stating that “there is no scientif\
ic evidence that 
proves that wireless device usage can lead to cancer or a variety of oth\
er problems, 
including headaches, dizziness or memory loss”.
This publication is available at http://www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety or through the FCC at 
(888) 225-5322 or (888) CALL-FCC.
