• Give full attention to driving and to the road, aisle, or path
• Use hands-free operation, if available
• Pull off the road, aisle, or path and park before making or answering a call
For Vehicles Equipped with an Airbag
Do not place a portable device in the area over the airbag or in the airbag deployment area. An airbag
inflates with great force. If you place the handset in the airbag deployment area, and the airbag inflates,
the airbag may propel the handset at high speed and cause serious injury to occupants of the vehicle.
FCC Statement
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) Information for
SpectraLink 8400 Series Wireless Telephones
Your wireless telephone is a low power radio transmitter and receiver. When it is on, it receives and
sends out radio frequency (RF) signals. In August 1996, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
adopted radio frequency (RF) exposure guidelines with safety levels for hand-held wireless handsets.
Those guidelines are consistent with the safety standards previously set by both U.S. and international
standards bodies:
• ANSI C95.1 (1992) American National Standards Institute
• NCRP - Report 86 (1986) National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements
• ICNIRP (1996) International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection
• DHWC - Safety Code 6 Department of Health and Welfare Canada
These standards were developed by independent scientific organizations through periodic and thorough
evaluation of scientific studies. The standards include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the
safety of all persons, regardless of age and health. The exposure standard for wireless mobile handsets
employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the
FCC is 1.6W/kg.
