User's Manual

Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE). This standard
specifies test methods and performance requirements for hearing aids
and wireless phones so that that no interference occurs when a
person uses a “compatible” phone and a “compatible” hearing aid at
the same time. This standard was approved by the IEEE in 2000.
FDA continues to monitor the use of wireless phones for possible
interactions with other medical devices. Should harmful interference
be found to occur, FDA will conduct testing to assess the interference
and work to resolve the problem.

Emergency calls
Never rely solely upon your wireless phone for essential
communications (e.g., medical emergencies), if it can be avoided,
since a wireless phone requires a complex combination of radio
signals, relay stations and landline networks for its operation.
Consequently, emergency calls may not always be possible under all
conditions on all wireless phone systems. Your wireless phone,
however, may sometimes be the only available means of
communication at the scene of an accident. When making an
emergency call, always give the recipient all necessary information as
accurately as possible. Never terminate an emergency call until you
have received clearance to do so.
FCC Enhanced 911 (E911) Rules
Safety
G’zOne Type-S 131 G’zOne Type-S 130
Background
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) requires wireless
carriers to transmit specific latitude and longitude location (Automatic
Location Identification = ALI) information as well as “911” calls to
Public Safety Answering Points (PSAPs) to identify the location of the
caller in case of emergency.
Generally, the rules require that carriers identify an E911 caller’s
location within 50 meters of the actual location for 67 percent of calls
and within 150 meters of the actual location for 95 percent of calls.
G'zOne Type-S’s ALI Capability
The G'zOne Type-S is an ALI-capable phone equipped with a GPS
(Global Positioning System) receiver supporting a satellite-based GPS
ALI-capable network to comply with the FCC’s ALI requirements.
The network compliance with the above FCC requirements is
dependent on: (a) the use of digital technology by the wireless
network; (b) GPS satellite signals being able to reach the handset
(such transmissions do not always work indoors, for example) ; and (c)
handset signals reaching wireless “base stations” (atmospheric and
environmental conditions may cause variations in handset receiving
signal strength).
Also the transmission of the ALI information is subject, in part, to
system constraints within the wireless network to which the E911
signal is transmitted and over which UTStarcom has no control.
Finally, customers are advised that the G'zOne Type-S’s ALI capability
is to be used for E911 purposes only.
