Safety Information Important: Read this information before using your wireless handheld Exposure to Radio Frequency Signals phone. Your wireless handheld portable telephone is a low power radio transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it receives and also sends out radio frequency (RF) signals. In August 1996, the Federal Communications Commissions (FCC) adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for handheld wireless phones.
Safety Information Tips on Efficient Operation: Observe the following guidelines to operate your phone most efficiently: • Extend your antenna fully. • Do not touch the antenna unnecessarily when the phone is in use. Contact with the antenna affects call quality and may cause the phone to operate at a higher power level than otherwise needed. Caution: All batteries can cause property damage, injury or burns if a conductive material, such as jewelry, keys or beaded chains, touches exposed terminals.
Safety Information Persons with pacemakers: • Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than six inches from their pacemaker when the phone is turned ON; • Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket; • Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for interference. • Should turn the phone OFF immediately if you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place. Hearing Aids Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids.
Safety Information Turn your phone OFF and do not remove the battery when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere, and obey all signs and instructions. Sparks from your battery 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.
Getting Started The digital StarTAC® phone comes equipped with a standard battery and an AC adapter to get you up and running. An exciting line of accessory options can customize your wireless package for maximum performance and portability. This chapter will show you how to get started with your new wireless package.

Use the data cable to connect your CDMA phone to a compatible computer, and you can send faxes, access the Internet, send and check e-mail – transmit and receive data wherever there is a wireless signal. In this chapter we will explain how to: • Place, end, and receive data calls. • Read the data display. • Set up Pre-arrangement.
Getting Started with the Data Connectivity Kit Attaching the Data Cable Before you install the fax/modem software on your computer, it is a good idea to attach the cable to the computer and phone. 1. Plug into Phone Plug the smaller end of the data cable, with the release tab facing up, into the accessory connector on your phone. 2.
Placing a Data Call Keep in mind: You will not be able to place a data or fax call through your phone’s keypad, using last ten dialed, or with Caller ID. All data and fax calls must be placed through your computer. 1. Connect Make sure the cable is connected properly. 2. Place Call Open the application on your computer, like a fax or dial-up application, and place the call through the application on your computer.
Ending a Data Call Always end a data call by closing the connection through the application on your computer. See the User’s Guide that came with the software for more information. Keep in mind: If you set pre-arrangement before the call, your phone will remain in the pre-arranged state when the data call is ended. You will see either Fax Ready or Data Ready. See page 118 for more information.
Setting up Pre-arrangement Some networks require you to change a setting on your phone before you can receive an incoming fax or data call. This is called pre-arrangement. There is no need to worry about placing data or fax calls – the pre-arrangement setting only applies to receiving calls. Keep in mind: In pre-arrangement mode, you will not be able to receive incoming voice calls. 1. Enter Menu Press ƒ then A to enter the menu. Press q or Z to scroll to Phone Options 2.
Receiving a Data Call When you have an incoming data or fax call, your phone’s display will show what kind of call you are receiving, along with the number of the caller.

Troubleshooting Q. I pressed the power button, but nothing happened. What’s wrong with my phone? A. Check that you have installed a battery and that the battery is charged. See page 12 for information about installing your battery. Q. The display says Locked. How do I unlock my phone? A. Try entering the last three digits of your wireless number. If that does not work, try using the factory preset lock code: 123.
Troubleshooting Q. I tried to place a call but received an alternating high/low tone. What does this mean? A. This sound means your call did not connect to the network. Most likely, you dialed the number too soon after turning the phone ON. Wait until you see your phone’s idle display (in the main display either Ready, the name of your Service Provider, or your programmable banner) before placing a call. An alternating tone may also indicate that your phone’s signal is blocked.
Troubleshooting Q. My phone was stolen. What should I report and to whom? A. Report a stolen phone to the police and to your Service Provider (the company that sends you your monthly wireless service bills). Q. I plugged the data cable* into my phone but my phone did not beep. How do I know if the data cable is ready to go? A. The beep is a sure sign that you are setup correctly. If you did not hear the beep, the first thing to check is that your phone is data capable. To do so, see page 114.
Troubleshooting Q. I can’t end my data call* by closing the application on my computer. What can I do? A. If necessary, try pressing º on the phone. You might also disconnect the cable or turn OFF the phone. Remember, if possible always close the connection through your computer. These alternative methods may disrupt the application on your computer. Q. I launched the Minibrowser* but the display says: Service Not Available. What is wrong? A. You are in an area without service.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s Center for Devices and Radiological Health Consumer Update on Mobile Phones FDA has been receiving inquiries about the safety of mobile phones, including cellular phones and PCS phones. The following summarizes what is known--and what remains unknown--about whether these products can pose a hazard to health, and what can be done to minimize any potential risk. This information may be used to respond to questions.
How much evidence is there that hand-held mobile phones might be harmful? Briefly, there is not enough evidence to know for sure, either way; however, research efforts are on-going. The existing scientific evidence is conflicting and many of the studies that have been done to date have suffered from flaws in their research methods. Animal experiments investigating the effects of RF exposures characteristic of mobile phones have yielded conflicting results.
causing agents increase risk with increased exposure. An ongoing study of brain cancers by the National Cancer Institute is expected to bear on the accuracy and repeatability of these results. 2. Researchers conducted a large battery of laboratory tests to assess the effects of exposure to mobile phone RF on genetic material.
increased likelihood was too small to be statistically significant. In summary, we do not have enough information at this point to assure the public that there are, or are not, any low incident health problems associated with use of mobile phones. FDA continues to work with all parties, including other federal agencies and industry, to assure that research is undertaken to provide the necessary answers to the outstanding questions about the safety of mobile phones.
at this time, FDA has urged the mobile phone industry to take a number of steps to assure public safety.
• a hand-held phone with a built-in antenna connected to a different antenna mounted on the outside of the car or built into a separate package, or • a headset with a remote antenna to a mobile phone carried at the waist. Again, the scientific data do not demonstrate that mobile phones are harmful. But if people are concerned about the radiofrequency energy from these products, taking the simple precautions outlined above can reduce any possible risk.
