Charging the battery
Before using your Treo, you need to fully charge the battery. Your phone may not turn
on at all when you first remove it from the box. We recommend that you charge your
phone for three hours or until the LED is solid green.
1. Plug the AC charger into a wall outlet.
2. Connect the charger cable to the bottom of the Treo, with the word UP facing the
same direction as your Treo screen.
A
Battery consumption varies
based on your personal
usage. Consumption
factors include signal
strength, backlight and
speakerphone usage, and
whether calls are data or
voice calls.
A. LED
3. To confirm that your Treo is charging, check the LED.
• When the LED is solid red, your Treo is charging.
• When the LED turns solid green, your Treo is fully charged.
• If the LED does not light up when you connect your Treo to the charger, doublecheck the cable connection and the electrical outlet to which it is connected.

After you turn on your Treo, the onscreen battery gauge displays the power status:
• Full battery icon
: Battery is charged
• Partial battery icon
: Battery has some power and is not charging
• Empty battery icon
: Battery needs charging immediately
• Red lightning bolt

• Green lightning bolt with full battery icon
14 :: Charging the battery

Turning Treo on and off
You can use the Palm OS® features of your Treo 600 smartphone independently of
the wireless features and applications. Therefore, the screen and Wireless Mode are
designed to be turned off and on separately.
Turning the screen on and off
1. Press the Screen button
to turn on the screen.
2. Briefly press the Screen button
to turn off the screen.
Turning Wireless Mode on and off
Wireless Mode allows your Treo to connect to your wireless service provider’s network
so that you can make and receive phone calls and use other wireless services.
Treo includes a keyboard
backlight for nighttime use.
The keyboard backlight
activates automatically
when the screen turns on,
but shuts off if the
keyboard is not in use.
When the screen is on,
press Option, and then P to
manually activate the
keyboard backlight.
1. Press and hold the Wireless Mode button
to turn on Wireless Mode. You will
hear a series of ascending tones. When Wireless Mode is on, your Treo connects to
a wireless network, and you can use the phone and Internet features (if supported
by the local network).
2. Press and hold the Wireless Mode button
again to turn off Wireless Mode. You
will hear a series of descending tones. When Wireless Mode is off, your Treo is not
connected to your wireless service provider’s network. You can still use the
organizer and other Palm OS features. This is ideal for airplane flights and for
maximizing battery life.
Turning Treo on and off :: 15
Making your first call
We recommend that you charge your Treo for a full three hours (or until the LED is
solid green) before using it for the first time.
If No Service appears in the
upper left, you are out of a
wireless coverage area. If
you believe you are in a
wireless coverage area and
this problem persists,
contact your wireless
service provider for
assistance.
You can adjust the contrast
or how the screen responds
to the stylus, at any time.
(see page 121).
1. Press Phone .
2. If a Setup screen appears, follow the instructions to select a language and
calibrate the screen. If a Setup screen doesn't appear, you're ready to continue;
press Center to unlock the keyguard feature.
3. Press and hold the Wireless Mode button . You will hear a series of ascending
tones.
4. Allow the Treo to complete a network search. The search may take several
seconds. When it’s done, the network status icon
appears in the upper right.
5. Tap the onscreen Dial Pad or use the number pad on the Treo keyboard to type the
desired phone number.
6. Press Center to dial.
7. When your call is complete, use the 5-way navigation control to choose Hang Up
All.

your most recent calls on

Moving around the Treo™ screen
Some third-party
applications may not work
with the 5-way navigation
control, and you must use
the stylus instead.
In this guide, we use arrow
icons to indicate directions
on your Treo’s 5-way
navigation control. These
are different from any
onscreen arrows that you
tap with your stylus or
select with the 5-way
navigation control to
display pick lists.
To move around the Treo™ 600 smartphone screen, you can use the 5-way navigation
control, or tap items on the screen with the stylus. Once you’ve used your Treo for a
while, you’ll find your own favorite way to scroll, highlight, and select menu commands.
The 5-way navigation control includes Right, Left, Up, Down, and Center buttons.

Choosing options in a pick list
A range of options is often presented in a type of menu called a pick list, which can be
identified by a downward-pointing arrow. Pick lists are different from the application
menus described above.
To choose from a pick list, do one of the following:
• Use the 5-way navigation control to highlight the pick list, and then press Center to
display the items in the list. Press Up

Setting up your computer
Synchronization lets you enter information on your computer (using Palm® Desktop or
Microsoft Outlook for Windows) and then efficiently transfer that information to your
Treo. At the same time, changes you make on your Treo are transferred to Palm Desktop
or Microsoft Outlook. Even if you manage all your contacts on your Treo, synchronization
is a great way to back up your data.
Before you can synchronize, you need to install Palm Desktop software on your
computer. Even if you already own a Palm Powered™ device and have installed a
previous version, you must install the software that comes with your Treo.

you use a USB hub, make
sure it is a powered hub.
1. Plug the AC charger into a wall outlet. If necessary, connect an adapter.
2. Connect the charger to the short end of the HotSync cable. Be sure to match the
sides of the connectors labeled UP.
3. Plug the USB HotSync cable into an available USB port on your computer.

30 :: Setting up your computer
Installing Palm Desktop software on your computer
Your computer needs all of its resources available to install the desktop
synchronization software. Follow these guidelines for a successful installation:
1. Exit any applications that are currently running on your computer, including those
running in the background.
2. Insert the CD that came with your Treo into the CD-ROM drive on your computer. If
you are installing on a Macintosh, double-click the CD icon on the desktop, and
then double-click the Installer icon.
3. Follow the onscreen instructions of the installation program. Click Install Now to
install Palm Desktop software. Please note these important points about the
installation process:
• If a language selection screen appears, choose the same language you use on
your Treo.
• During the installation process, you will be prompted to synchronize for the first
time.
If you are installing on a
computer at work, make
sure your company allows
you to install new software.
Contact your company’s IT
department for help.
Setting up your computer :: 31
Synchronizing your contacts and
other data
We strongly recommend
that you install
Palm Desktop software
soon after you start using
your Treo, and that you
synchronize your Treo and
computer frequently to
keep your information upto-date (and backed up) in
both locations.
Before you can synchronize your contacts and other personal data, you must install
Palm Desktop software from the CD that came with your Treo. See page 31 for
instructions.
1. Connect your Treo to your computer as described on page 30.
2. Press the HotSync button on the cable.
A
A. HotSync button
3. Wait for your Treo to display a message indicating that the process is complete.
• If nothing happens, make sure that you installed Palm Desktop software and
that the HotSync Manager application is running on your computer ( ).
• If you want to synchronize data with applications other than Palm Desktop or
Microsoft Outlook, you need to purchase additional third-party conduit software.
• If you have any problems performing a HotSync operation, see page 145 for
troubleshooting suggestions.
32 :: Synchronizing your contacts and other data
Battery life
Battery life depends on individual usage. When used as a phone, your Treo battery
provides up to 4 hours of talk time or up to 10 days of standby time on the 1900 MHz
band. Talk time is slightly lower when operating on the cellular 800 MHz band. When
used as an organizer only (no phone), the battery provides up to 4 weeks of normal
use.
Maximizing battery life
You can increase the life of your Treo battery by following a few easy guidelines.
Remember that battery life depends on how you use your Treo.
• Charge your Treo whenever you’re at your desk. The Li-Ion battery in your Treo has
a much longer useful life when it is topped off frequently, versus charging it after it
is fully drained.
• The wireless features (phone, email, messaging, and web) of your Treo generally
consume more power than its organizer features. However, if you spend a lot of
time using the camera, games, media players, eBooks, or other Palm OS
applications, keep an eye on the battery level and charge when necessary.
• If you don’t plan to use the wireless features on your Treo for a while, you may want
to turn off Wireless Mode (see page 15). You can forward calls to a different
number (see page 49) or let all calls be picked up by voicemail (see page 43) if
your service plan includes call forwarding or voicemail features.
We recommend that you
charge your Treo for a full
three hours, or until the
LED turns solid green,
before using it for the first
time.
If the battery is fully
drained, and your Treo
doesn’t turn on, the Treo
stores your data safely for
about three days. We
recommend that you
charge and synchronize
your Treo every day,
especially if you use your
phone often.
If the battery is fully
drained, it may take a few
moments for the LED to
light up while charging.
Battery life :: 33
• As with any mobile phone, if you are in an area with no wireless coverage, your
Treo continuously searches for a signal, which consumes power. If you cannot
move to an area of better coverage, temporarily turn off Wireless Mode to conserve
battery power.
• Use the keyboard backlight (see page 24) only when you need it.
• Turn down the screen brightness (see page 121).
• Decrease the Auto-off setting in General Preferences (see page 128). This turns
off your screen automatically after a shorter period of inactivity.

• Mail: The built-in email application on Treo that provides wireless access to an
existing POP3 email account. See the sections that follow for details.
• Other wireless email services: Your wireless service provider may offer a wireless
email service to which you can subscribe with your service plan. Contact your
wireless service provider for details.
• Third-party email applications: A number of third-party developers offer Palm OS
email applications. Consult the email application’s documentation to learn how to
set it up.
The Mail application is
compatible with regular
POP3 email accounts.
Other accounts, such as
corporate or web-only
email, require special
applications, if available.

email accounts, you can set up Mail to access more than one account. To use Mail,
you must have:
• Wireless account with data services activated.
• Email account with an email service provider that supports the POP3 protocol.
Examples include Sympatico, Earthlink, SBC, and AT&T Worldnet. Contact your
email provider to determine if your account is POP3-compatible. If it is not
compatible, contact your wireless service provider to learn about their corporate
email solutions, or use a third-party solution.

Upgrading from a
Palm Powered™ device
Always use the same
language for your Treo and
your desktop software.
Otherwise, you may lose
data.
To transfer all compatible applications and data from your previous device to your new
Treo™ 600 smartphone:
1. Perform a HotSync® operation with your old device and your old desktop software
to back up your data one last time.
2. Install Palm® Desktop software from the CD that came with your Treo (see
page 31). During the installation process, perform a HotSync operation with your
new Treo. When prompted to choose a user name for your new Treo, be sure to
select the existing user name for your old device.
3. Some third-party applications may be quarantined by HotSync Manager because
they are not compatible with the Palm OS® 5.2 on your Treo. Do not manually
install any quarantined files (see the documentation that came with the third-party
applications for more information).
4. If you plan to continue using your old device, perform a hard reset (see page 139)
to remove its associated user name. Each device you synchronize with your
computer must have a unique name. The next time you synchronize with your old
device, be sure to assign it a new user name.
After upgrading, there are a few things you need to know about your new Treo:
• Address Book: This application is now called Contacts. To launch Contacts, press
Phone
, and then use the 5-way navigation control to choose Contacts.
• Date Book+: This application is now called Calendar. To access this application,
press Calendar .
136 :: Upgrading from a Palm Powered™ device
• Applications Launcher: Some previous Palm Powered™ devices called this the
Home screen. To access this screen, press Applications Launcher
.
• Find: Some previous Palm Powered devices launched this global search engine by
tapping the magnifying glass icon in the Graffiti® area. Now you can access it by
pressing Option
and Shift
together.
• Menu commands: Users familiar with Graffiti menu commands can now access
system menus by pressing Menu
(see page 22).
• Backlight: Treo includes a keyboard backlight that also dims the screen slightly for
low light conditions. While your Treo screen is on, press Option
, and then P to
turn on the keyboard backlight.
• Center button: If you used an earlier model Treo, you might be accustomed to
pressing Spacebar to activate commands or dial numbers. With this Treo, we
recommend pressing Center instead.
• Screen button: The fourth button on the right is used to control the screen and is
not an application button. However, you can remap this button to your favorite
application (see page 124).
• Internet connection: This Treo was designed to work on high-speed wireless data
networks. When you sign up for a high speed wireless data account, these settings
are automatically configured on your Treo.
• 5-way navigation compatibility: Some Palm OS 5 applications are optimized for
5-way navigation on devices other than Treo. Therefore you may notice
inconsistencies with software that is not optimized for Treo.
To access a menu shortcut,
press Menu, and then
press the letter for the
shortcut.
Some third-party utilities
allow you to back up your
old device’s data onto an
SD™ or MMC™ card, and
then transfer the data to
your Treo. We do not
recommend this method
because any incompatible
applications are also
transferred to your Treo.

Trouble installing Palm Desktop?
The CD included with your Treo installs the software and drivers that let you
synchronize with Palm Desktop software or Microsoft Outlook for Windows. If you
want to synchronize with a different Personal Information Manager (PIM), you must
install a third-party solution. Contact the PIM’s author or vendor to learn if software is
available for your Treo.
1. Restart your computer.
2. Quit any active applications, including virus scanners and Internet security
applications.
3. Make sure you’re installing the version of Palm Desktop software that came on the
CD with your Treo. Other versions of Palm Desktop software may not work with
this Treo.
4. Make sure your computer profile includes administrator rights to install software. In
large organizations, these are usually granted by the system administrator.

Resetting your Treo
Soft reset
A soft reset is similar to restarting a computer. If your Treo is not responding or you
have trouble synchronizing with your computer, a soft reset may help. Unless your
battery is extremely low, a soft reset should not affect your data.
1. Unscrew the stylus tip to access the reset tool.
2. Use the reset tool to gently press the reset button on the back of your Treo.
If you need to perform a
system reset and disable
conflicting applications,
always end the process
with a soft reset. This
returns your Treo to normal
operation.
System reset
A system reset, also called a safe or warm reset, tells your Treo to stop what it’s doing
and start over again without loading any system extras. If your Treo loops or freezes
during a soft reset, a system reset may help. Performing a system reset allows you to
get out of an endless loop so that you can uninstall the third-party application that
caused the loop. Unless your battery is extremely low, a system reset should not affect
your data.
Resetting your Treo :: 139
1. Unscrew the stylus tip to access the reset tool.
2. While holding Up , use the reset tool to gently press the reset button on the
back of your Treo.
3. When the Palm Powered logo appears, release Up .
Hard reset
A hard reset erases all data and third-party software on your Treo. Never perform a
hard reset without first trying a soft and system reset. You can restore previously
synchronized data with the next HotSync operation.
A hard reset can tell you whether a problem is caused by your Treo or an
application installed on your Treo. If a hard reset eliminates the problem, the problem
may have been caused by software you installed on your Treo. See page 153 for
suggestions on diagnosing third-party software issues.
1. Unscrew the stylus tip to access the reset tool.
2. While holding the Wireless Mode button , use the reset tool to gently press the
reset button on the back of your Treo.

I can’t open or save an attachment
• You can open only attachments that are supported by the built-in software on your
Treo or by third-party applications that can open the attachment type. If you can’t
open an attachment on your Treo, the attachment appears with the paperclip
icon .
• Large attachments may be truncated, which prevents you from saving them. Scroll
to the bottom of the email message to see if this is the case. To retrieve the rest of
the attachment, press Menu
, and then from the Message menu, choose Get
Entire Message. This downloads the remainder of the attachment so that you can
save it.
When retrieving messages,
you may see a larger
number of messages than
you actually receive (e.g.
you see Retrieving 1 of 10
messages and you only
receive 3 messages). If this
happens, check your
Delivery Preferences. If the
preferences are set to
retrieve only recent emails,
any older emails may
appear in the total number,
but are not delivered to
your Treo.
I can’t send email
Your ability to send email depends on several factors. You may need to enter
additional information into the Mail application. Also, some wireless service providers
use Internet security requirements that may cause difficulties with your email service.
Mail :: 149
First, obtain this information from your wireless service provider:
• Does the Internet connection they provide support sending SMTP emails?
• Is there an alternate SMTP authenticated server used for email?
• Is SSL required for POP3 or SMTP email transactions?
Next, contact your email service provider for this information:
• Does this provider support the POP3 protocol? If they don’t, you won’t be able to
use Mail for this email account.
• Does this provider allow email access from wireless phone networks?
• What is the user name for your email account?
• What is the outgoing (SMTP) server for your email account? Does it require
authentication? Does it require SSL? Does it use the same user name for POP3
and SMTP?
Last, follow these steps:
1. In Mail, press Menu
.
2. From the View menu, choose Edit Accounts.
3. Highlight the account you want to edit, and then choose Edit.
4. Make sure your email address and password are correct.
5. Choose the Server tab. Tap the Information icon
for a detailed explanation of
Server settings.
6. Enter the correct Incoming (POP3) Server setting for your email account. Enter the
SMTP server used by your wireless service provider for email.
7. Choose the Advanced tab. Tap the Information icon for a detailed explanation of
Advanced settings.
8. Check or uncheck the boxes for SSL required for POP3 and SMTP, according to
the information you received.
9. If necessary, enter your user name. Also enter your email password in the box.
10. Choose OK to accept these settings; then choose Done.
150 :: Mail
Web
I can’t access a page
• Make sure Wireless Mode is turned on (see page 15).
• Check your Internet access: launch Blazer® and try to view a web page you’ve
loaded before. Press Menu
, and then from the Page menu, choose Refresh to
get the latest version from the Internet. After confirming your Internet connection,
try to view the page again, and press Menu
, and then from the Page menu,
choose Refresh.
• If you still have trouble, the page may contain elements that are not supported by
Blazer. These include Flash, Shockwave, VBScript, WML script, and other plugins.
• Some web sites use a redirector to the true page (for example, the address http://
www.palmOne.com/support may resolve to http://www.palmOne.com/us/support).
If Blazer can’t follow the redirect, use a browser on your computer to see where the
redirect sends you, and enter that address in Blazer.
Treo can launch your email
application when you
choose an email address
on a web page. If nothing
happens when you choose
the link, try setting up your
email application first.
An image or map appears too small on the Treo screen
Blazer has two modes: Optimized and Wide Page. Optimized Mode resizes all images
and page elements to fit in a single column on the Treo screen. Switch to Wide Page
mode to see the full-size image (see page 57).
A secure site refuses to permit a transaction
Some web sites don’t support certain browsers for transactions. Please contact the
site’s webmaster to make sure the site allows transactions using Blazer.
Web :: 151
Pictures
The Pictures application takes pictures at Small picture size (160 x 120 pixels) and
Large picture size (640 x 480 pixels, or 0.3 megapixel). Here are some tips for taking
good pictures with the built-in camera:
• Clean the camera’s lens with a soft, lint-free cloth.
• Take pictures in bright lighting conditions. Low-light images may be grainy, due to
the sensitivity of the camera.
• Hold the camera as still as possible. You may want to support your picture-taking
arm against your body or a stationary object (such as a wall).
• Keep the subject of the pictures still. Exposure time is longer with lower light levels,
so you may see a blur.
• For best results, verify that you have the brightest light source coming from behind
you, lighting the subject’s face. Don’t take indoor pictures with the subject in front
of a window or light.
• Make sure the subject is at least 18 inches away from the camera to ensure good
focus.
Remember that when you synchronize, your pictures are stored in the Treo Pictures
folder on your hard drive (see page 66).
The camera preview image looks strange
Some third-party applications overwrite the Treo’s color settings with their own 8-bit
color settings. This can affect the camera’s preview mode. Delete third-party
applications one-by-one until the preview image improves.
When using the camera in low light, you may see blue specks on the screen. Once
you capture the image, the quality improves, and many of the blue specks disappear.
152 :: Pictures
Third-party applications
Sometimes, third-party applications can cause conflicts on your Treo. Third-party
applications that modify wireless features may require extra troubleshooting.
If you recently installed an application and your Treo seems to be stuck, try the
following:
1. Perform a soft reset (see page 139).
2. If the problem persists, perform a system reset (see page 139).
3. Delete the most recently installed application from your Treo (see page 109).
4. If the problem persists, perform another system reset.
5. Delete other third-party applications one at a time until you eliminate the problem.
6. If none of the steps above are possible, you may wish to perform a hard reset (see
page 140). Then, locate your Backup folder on your computer (Windows:
C:\Program Files\palmOne\user name; Macintosh: Mac
HD\Applications\palmOne\Users\user name). If you find a .prc or .pdb file for any
applications you just removed, delete the file(s) from the Backup folder. Then,
perform a HotSync operation to restore your data and applications.
Remember, not all third-party applications are optimized for the Treo keyboard and
5-way navigation control. You may encounter strange behavior or errors in these
applications if you use the keyboard and navigation control.
Getting more help
Contact the author or vendor of any third-party software if you require further
assistance.
Third-party applications :: 153
Errors
Your Treo is designed to minimize interruptions, when a system error occurs. If Treo
encounters a system error, it automatically resets itself and resumes functioning as
normal. If possible, it even turns Wireless Mode back on if it was on before the error
occurred.
Sometimes you might want to know more about an error. Treo uses a special
interface to show error messages in greater detail.
1.
2.
3.
4.
Press Phone .
Press Center, and then choose Dial Pad.
Type ##377, and then press Center.
Review the screen with details about the conditions that lead up to the most recent
automatic reset.
5. Choose OK.
Please note that third-party developers create their own error messages. If you do not
understand an error message, please contact the developer of the application for help.
154 :: Errors
Making room on your Treo
If you store a large number of records, or install many third-party applications, the
internal memory on your Treo may fill up. Here are some common ways to clear space
on your Treo:
• Mail: Emails that have large attachments can quickly consume memory on your
Treo. Delete emails with large attachments. If you have hundreds of messages with
or without attachments, you may want to delete older messages to make room
(see page 78).
• Pictures: Large-size pictures take up a lot of memory. Move pictures to an
expansion card or delete pictures from your Treo (see page 64).
• Internet: If you have set a large Blazer cache, you can use Blazer’s advanced
Memory Management settings to clear all recent pages (see page 61).
• Third-party applications: You can delete infrequently used applications or move
them to an expansion card (see page 113).
Also, remember that your Treo includes an expansion slot, and that you can store
applications and data on expansion cards. However, you still need some free memory
on the Treo itself to run applications from an expansion card.
Making room on your Treo :: 155
Voice quality
Is the other person hearing an echo?
• Try decreasing the Treo’s volume to avoid coupling or feedback on the other
person’s end. This applies to both speakerphone and the built-in handset speaker.
• Position the Treo handset closer to your ear to prevent sound leaking back to the
microphone. Keep your hand away from the microphone hole, which is on the back
of your Treo near the bottom of the device.
• If you’re using Speakerphone mode with the device lying on a flat surface, try
turning the Treo “face down” (screen facing the surface).
Are you hearing your own voice echo?
• Ask the other person to turn down their volume or hold the phone closer to their ear.
Is your voice too quiet on the other end?
• Be sure to hold the bottom of the Treo, or the hands-free microphone, close to your
mouth.

FCC Statement This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may
not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any
interference received, including interference that may cause undesired
operation.
This device has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a
Class B digital device, 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
interference to radio 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 following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver
• Connect the equipment into an outlet or circuit different from that to
which the receiver is connected
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help and
for additional suggestions.
RF Safety Exposure To Radio Frequency Energy (SAR) Radio
transmitting devices radiate Radio Frequency (RF) energy during its
operation. RF energy can be absorbed into the human body and
potentially can cause adverse health effects if excessive levels are
absorbed. The unit of measurement for human exposure to RF energy is
“Specific Absorption Rate” (SAR).
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC), Industrie Canada
(IC), and other agencies around the world have established limits that
incorporate a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all
persons using this equipment.
In order to certify this unit for sale in the US, Canada and Europe this
unit has been tested for RF exposure compliance at a qualified test
laboratory and found to comply with the regulations regarding exposure to
RF Energy.
SAR was measured with the unit transmitting at its maximum certified
RF power. Often, however, during normal operation the unit will transmit
much less than maximum power. Transmit power is controlled
automatically and, in general is reduced as you get closer to a cellular base
station. This reduction in transmit power will result in a lower RF energy
exposure and resulting SAR value.
FCC RF Safety Statement In order to comply with FCC RF exposure
safety guidelines, users MUST use one of the following types of bodyworn accessories.
1. A palmOne brand body-worn accessory that has been tested for SAR
compliance and is intended for use with this product.
2. An accessory that contains NO metal (snaps, clips, etc) and provides AT
LEAST 1 cm of separation between the users body and the unit.
Do NOT use the device in a manner such that it is in direct contact with
the body (i.e. on the lap or in a breast pocket). Such use will likely
exceed FCC RF safety exposure limits See www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety/
for more information on RF exposure safety.
