Pcs Phone Sanyo Vm4500 User Guide

							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.
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 devices to set off explosives.
Turn off your phone when you’re in any area that has a potentially
explosive atmosphere. Although it’s 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. They include:
Fueling areas such as gas stations.
Below deck on boats.
Fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities.
Areas where the air contains chemicals or particles such as grain,
dust, or metal powders.
Any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off
your vehicle’s engine.
Note:Never transport or store flammable gas, liquid, or explosives in thecompartment of your vehicle that contains your phone or accessories.
Restricting Children’s Access to your Phone
Your PCS Phone is not a toy. Children should not be allowed to play
with it because they could hurt themselves and others, damage the
phone or make calls that increase your phone bill.

							Caring for the Battery
Protecting Your Battery
The guidelines listed below help you get the most out of your
battery’s performance.
Use only Sprint-approved batteries and desktop chargers.
These chargers are designed to maximize battery life. Using 
other batteries or chargers voids your warranty and may 
cause damage.
In order to avoid damage, charge the battery only in temperatures
that range from 32º F to 113º F (0º C to 45º C).
Don’t use the battery charger in direct sunlight or in high
humidity areas, such as the bathroom.
Never dispose of the battery by incineration.
Keep the metal contacts on top of the battery clean.
Don’t attempt to disassemble or short-circuit the battery.
The battery may need recharging if it has not been used for a long
period of time.
It’s best to replace the battery when it no longer provides
acceptable performance. It can be recharged hundreds of times
before it needs replacing.
Don’t store the battery in high temperature areas for long periods
of time. It’s best to follow these storage rules:
Less than one month:
4º F to 140º F (-20º C to 60º C)
More than one month:
4º F to 113º F (-20º C to 45º C)
Disposal of Lithium Ion (LiIon) Batteries
For safe disposal options of your LiIon batteries, contact your nearest
Sprint-authorized service center.
Special Note:Be sure to dispose of your battery properly. In some
areas, the disposal of batteries in household or business trash may 
be prohibited.
Note:For safety, do not handle a damaged or leaking LiIon battery.

							Acknowledging Special Precautions 
and the FCC Notice
FCC Notice
The phone may cause TV or radio interference if used in close
proximity to receiving equipment. The FCC can require you to stop
using the phone if such interference cannot be eliminated.
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.
Cautions
Any changes or modifications to your phone not expressly approved
in this document could void your warranty for this equipment, and
void your authority to operate this equipment. Only use approved
batteries, antennas and chargers. The use of any unauthorized
accessories may be dangerous and void the phone warranty if said
accessories cause damage or a defect to the phone.
Although your phone is quite sturdy, it is a complex piece of
equipment and can be broken. Avoid dropping, hitting, bending or
sitting on it.
Body-Worn Operation
To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines, if you
wear a handset on your body, use the Sprint supplied or approved
carrying case, holster or other body-worn accessory. If you do not
use a body-worn accessory, ensure that the antenna is at least 1.9 cm
from your body when transmitting. Use of non-Sprint approved
accessories may violate FCC RF exposure guidelines.
For more information about RF exposure, please visit the FCC
Website at 
www.fcc.gov.

							Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) for Wireless Phones
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 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.
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 SCP-5500 are:
AMPS/CDMA modes (Part 22) - Head: 1.250 W/kg; Body-worn: 0.933 W/kg
PCS mode (Part 24) - Head: 1.250 W/kg; Body-worn: 0.691 W/kg
FCC Radiofrequency Emission
This phone meets the FCC Radiofrequency Emission Guidelines. FCC
ID number: AEZSCP-55H. More information on the phone’s SAR can
be found from the following FCC Website:
