READ THIS INFORMATION BEFORE

USING YOUR HAND-HELD PORTABLE

CELLULAR TELEPHONE

First introduced in 1984, the hand-held portable cellular telephone is one of the most exciting and innovative electronic products ever developed. With it you can stay in contact with your office, your home, emergency services, and others.

For the safe and efficient operation of your phone, observe these guidelines.

Your cellular telephone is a radio transmitter and receiver.

When it is ON, it receives and also sends out radio frequency (RF) energy. The phone operates in the frequency range of 824 MHz to 894 MHz and employs commonly used frequency modulation (FM) techniques. When you use your phone, the cellular system handling your call controls the power level at which your phone transmits. The power level can range from 0.006 of a watt to 0.6 of a watt.

Exposure to Radio Frequency Energy

In 1991 the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers

(IEEE), and in 1992 the American National Standards

Institute (ANSI) updated the 1982 ANSI Standard for safety levels with respect to human exposure to RF energy. Over

120 scientists, engineers, and physicians from universities, government health agencies, and industry, after reviewing the available body of research, developed this updated

Standard. In March, 1993, the Federal Communications

Commission (FCC) proposed the adoption of this updated

Standard.

The design of your phone complies with this updated

Standard. Of course, if you want to limit RF exposure even further than the updated ANSI Standard, you may choose to control the duration of your calls and operate your phone in the most power efficient manner.

Efficient Phone Operation

For your phone to operate at the lowest power level, consistent with satisfactory call quality, please observe the following guidelines: ii

If your phone has an extendable antenna, extend it fully.

Some models allow you to place a call with the antenna retracted. However, your phone operates more efficiently with the antenna fully extended.

Hold the phone as you would any other telephone. While speaking directly into the mouthpiece, position the antenna up and over your shoulder. Do not hold the antenna when the phone is “IN USE”. Holding the antenna affects call quality and may cause the phone to operate at a higher power level than needed.

Antenna Care and Replacement

Do not use the phone with a damaged antenna. If a damaged antenna comes into contact with the skin, a minor burn may result. Replace a damaged antenna immediately. Consult your manual to see if you may change the antenna yourself. If so, use only a manufacturer approved antenna. Otherwise, take your phone to a qualified service center for repair.

Use only the supplied or approved antenna. Non-approved antennas, modifications, or attachments could impair call quality, damage the phone, and violate FCC regulations.

Driving

Check the laws and regulations on the use of cellular telephones in the areas where you drive. Always obey them.

Also, when using your phone while driving, please:

* give full attention to driving,

* use hands-free operation, if available, and

* pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving conditions so require.

Electronic Devices

Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF energy. However, RF energy from cellular telephones may affect inadequately shielded electronic equipment.

iii

RF energy may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic operating and entertainment systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or its representative to determine if these systems are adequately shielded from external RF energy. You should also check with the manufacturer of any equipment that has been added to your vehicle.

Consult the manufacturer of any personal medical devices

(such as pacemakers, hearing aids, etc.) to determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF energy.

Turn your phone OFF in health care facilities when any regulations posted in the areas instruct you to do so.

Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment that could be sensitive to external RF energy.

Aircraft

Turn your phone OFF before boarding any aircraft.

* Use it on the ground only with crew permission.

* Do not use it in the air.

To prevent possible interference with aircraft systems,

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 interference with cellular systems, FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while the plane is in the air.

Children

Do not allow children to play with your phone. It is not a toy. Children could hurt themselves or others (by poking themselves or others in the eye with the antenna for example). Children also could damage the phone, or make calls that increase your telephone bills.

Blasting Areas

To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your unit

OFF when in a “blasting area” or in areas posted: “Turn off two-way radio”.

Construction crews often use remote control RF devices to set off explosives.

iv

Potentially Explosive Atmospheres

Turn your phone OFF when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere. It is rare, but your phone or its accessories could generate sparks.

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; 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 engine.

Do not transport or store flammable gas, liquid, or explosives in the compartment of your vehicle which contains your phone or accessories.

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.

Pacemaker/ICD's

Research sponsored by the Wireless Technology Research,

LLC ("WTR"), indicates that some wireless telephones cause interference with pacemakers. Accordingly, NEC America endorses the following recommendations issued by the WTR:

Wireless phones should be kept at a safe distance from a pacemaker. Existing data indicate that the greater the distance between a pacemaker and a wireless phone, the less risk of interference. These data further indicate that six inches is the proper separation distance for minimal risk.

Practical steps to achieve this separation distance include:

• The wireless telephone should not be placed over the

pacemaker, such as in a breast pocket, when it is in the

"ON" position. (A phone is "ON" when power is being

supplied to the telephone by the battery.)

• The phone should be used at the ear opposite the

pacemaker.

NOTE: There is nothing in the comprehensive data to suggest that bystanders with pacemakers would be at risk of interference from others who are using wireless phones.

More than one pause may be placed in a sequence, seperating several groups of DTMF digits.

For example, this function may be used for calling a paging system and sending commands, ID numbers (PIN), and/or numeric messages:

(1)

(2) (3) (4) (5)

“123456789” + “P” + “123456789#” + SND + SND

(1) This is the phone number to be called via the cellular system.

(2) This character indicates a Manual Pause. The user will wait for the initial prompt from the paging system before pressing the SND key.

(3) This is a DTMF digit sequence which may represent the PIN of the called pager.

(4) This is the initial send keypress which causes the phone to initiate a call using the number up to the first pause mark.

(5) This is the second send keypress, while in conversation mode, which will end the manual pause and start the sending of DTMF digits.

ROAMING (SYSTEM SELECT)

Each cellular service area can have two cellular service suppliers called carriers. One carrier is called the ‘non-

wireline’ or ‘A’ system and the other carrier is called the

‘wireline’ or ‘B’ system. Your phone is designed to work with either or both carriers. The system priority feature allows you to program your phone for optimum operation when in your home serving area or when away from your home area. This is called roaming. When you buy your phone, you may register (receive a phone number) with either or both of your local carriers. Contact the office of your home cellular phone company for information about the roaming agreements they have with other cellular phone companies. In some areas, roaming telephones are automatically recognized by the cellular system’s computer. In other areas, you must contact the cellular phone operator before it can recognize your phone. The company needs to know your telephone number, your phone’s ESN (electronic serial number), and how you plan to pay for your calls. There is usually an additional charge for roaming calls.

Note: The ESN for your phone is located in the battery compartment of the phone, and comprises the first

8 digits preceeded by NEC’s company code of 189.
