Congratulations! Your new NeoPoint is going to change the way you
communicate.
Important Safety Information
Radio Frequency (RF) Signals
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 Commission (FCC) adopted RF
exposure guidelines with safety levels for handheld wireless phones. Those
guidelines are consistent with safety standards previously set by both U.S. and
international standards bodies: American National Standard Institute (ANSI), National
Council of Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP), and International
Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNRP). Those standards were
based on comprehensive and periodic evaluations of the relevant scientific literature.
Over 120 engineers, scientists, and physicians from universities, government health
agencies and industries reviewed the available body of research to develop the ANSI
Standard. The design of your phone complies with the FCC guidelines and those
standards.
Traffic Safety
Do not use a hand-held telephone while driving a vehicle. Talking on the phone while
driving is extremely dangerous and is illegal in some states. If using a hand-held
phone park the vehicle before conversing. Remember that road safety always comes
first!
Operating Environment
Follow any special regulations in force in any area and always switch off your phone
whenever it is forbidden to use it, or when it may cause interference or danger. When
connecting the phone or any accessory to another device, consult your manual for
detailed safety instructions. To avoid possible damage and quality impairment to the
phone, do not connect incompatible products.
Electronic Devices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from radio frequency (RF) signals.
However, certain electronic equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals
from your wireless phone. RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately
shielded electronic systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or its
representative regarding your vehicle. You should also consult the manufacturer of
any equipment that has been added to your vehicle.
Medical Devices
Operation of any radio transmitting equipment, including cellular phones, may
interfere with the functionality of inadequately protected medical devices. A minimum
separation of 6 inches (20 cm.) should be maintained between a handheld wireless
phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. These
recommendations are consistent with the independent research by and
recommendations of Wireless Technology Research. Some digital wireless phones
may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of such interference, you may want
to consult your service provider.
