Read this information before using your portable phone GENERAL Since its introduction in the mid 1980s the portable phone is one of the most exciting and innovative products ever developed. With it, you can stay in contact with your office, your home, emergency services, and others. Your telephone is a radio transmitter and receiver.
Er ics No so t fo nM r ob Com ile me Co r mm cial un Use ica tio ns AB EFFICIENT PHONE OPERATION How to use your phone for optimum performance with minimum power consumption: Hold the phone as you would any other telephone. While speaking directly into the mouthpiece, angle the antenna in a direction up and over your shoulder. If the antenna is extendable, it should be extended during a call. Do not hold the antenna when the phone is IN USE.
Er ics No so t fo nM r ob Com ile me Co r mm cial un Use ica tio ns AB ELECTRONIC DEVICES Most modern electronic equipment, for example, equipment in hospitals and cars, is shielded from RF energy. However, RF energy from telephones may affect some electronic equipment. Turn your phone OFF in health care facilities when regulations posted in the areas instruct you to do so. Always request permission before using your phone near medical equipment.
