IMPORTANT

Read This Information Before Using Your Hand-held Portable Cellular
Telephone.

First introduced in 1984, the hand-held portable cellular telephone is one
of the most exciting and innovative electronic products ever developed.
With it, you can stay in contact with your office, your home, emergency
services, and others.

For the safe and efficient operation of your phone, observe these guide-
lines.

Your cellular telephone is a radio transmitter and receiver.  When it is
ON, it receives and also sends out radio frequency (RF) energy.  The phone
operates in the frequency range of 824 MHz to 894 MHz and employs commonly
used frequency modulation (FM) techniques.  When you use your phone, the
cellular system handling your call controls the power level at which your
phone transmits.  The power level can range from 0.006 of a watt to 0.6 of
a watt.

Exposure to Radio Frequency Energy

In 1991, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), and
in 1992, the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), updated the
1982 ANSI Standard for safety levels with respect to human exposure in RF
energy.  Over 120 scientists, engineers, and physicians from universities,
government health agencies and industry, after reviewing the available body
of research, developed this updated Standard.  In March 1993, the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) proposed the adoption of this updated
Standard.

The design of your phone complies with this updated Standard.  If you want
to limit RF exposure even further, you may choose to control the duration
of your calls and operate your phone in the most power efficient manner.

Efficient Phone Operation

For your phone to operate at the lowest power level consistent with
satisfactory call quality, please observe the following guidelines.

If your phone has an extendible antenna, extend it fully.  Some models
allow you to place a call with the antenna retracted.  However, your phone
operates more efficiently with the antenna fully extended.

Hold the phone as you would any other telephone.  While speaking directly
into the mouthpiece, position the antenna up and over your shoulder.

Do not hold the antenna when the phone is in use.  Holding the antenna
affects call quality and may cause the phone to operate at a higher power
level than needed.

Antenna Care and Replacement

Do not use the phone with a damaged antenna.  If a damaged antenna comes
into contact with the skin a minor burn may result.  Replace a damaged
antenna immediately.  Take your phone to a qualified service center for
repair.

Uses only the supplied or approved antenna.  Non-approved antennas,
modifications, or attachments could impair call quality, damage the phone
and violate FCC regulations.

Batteries

CAUTION Like all batteries, your cellular phone batteries detached from the
phone could cause property damage, injury, or burns if a metal object, such
as a pen spring, beaded chain, or jewelry contacts the terminals and causes
a short circuit.  Exercise care in placing a charged battery inside a coat
pocket, purse, or other container that may contain metal objects.

Driving

Check the laws and regulations on the use of cellular telephones in the
areas where you drive.  Always obey them.  Also, when using your phone
while driving, please:

    Give full attention to driving,

    Use hands-free operation, if available, and

    Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving
    conditions so require.

Electronic Devices

Most modern electric equipment - for example equipment in hospitals and
cars - is shielded from RF energy.  However, RF energy from cellular
telephones may affect malfunctioning or improperly shielded Electronic
equipment.

RF energy may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded
electronic operating and entertainment systems in motor vehicles.  Check
with the manufacturer or its representative to determine if these systems
are adequately shielded from external RF energy. You should also check with
the manufacturer of any equipment that has been added to your vehicle.

Consult the manufacturer of any personal medical Devices (such as
pacemakers, hearing aids, etc.) to determine if they are adequately
shielded from external RF energy.

Turn your phone OFF in health care facilities when any regulations posted
in the areas instruct you to do so.  Hospitals or health care facilities
may be using remote RF monitoring equipment.

Aircraft

Turn your phone OFF before boarding any aircraft.

    Use it on the ground only with crew permission.

    Do not use in the air.

To prevent possible interference with aircraft systems, Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) regulations require you to have permission from a crew
member to use your phone while the plane is on the ground.  To prevent
interference with cellular systems, FCC regulations prohibit using your
phone while the plane is in the air.

Children

Do not allow children to play with your phone.  It is not a toy.  Children
could hurt themselves or others (by poking themselves or others in the eye
with the antenna, for example).  Children also could damage the phone, or
make calls that increase your telephone bills.

Blasting Areas

To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your unit OFF when in
a blasting area or in areas posted.

Turn off two-way radio.  Construction crews often use remote control RF
devices to set off explosives.

Potentially Explosive Atmospheres

Turn your phone OFF when in any area with a potentially explosive atmos-
phere. It is rare, but your phone or its accessories could generate sparks.
Sparks 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.  They include fueling areas such as gas stations, below
deck on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities, and areas
where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or
metal powders, and any other areas where you would normally be advised to
turn off your vehicle engine.

Do not transport or store flammable gas, liquid, or explosives in the
compartment of your vehicle which contains your phone or accessories.

Vehicles powered by liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane)
must comply with the National Fire Protection Standard (NFPA-58).  For a
copy of this standard, contact the National Fire Protection Association,
One Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269, Attn: Publications Sales Division.

Magnetic Storage Media

Your phone contains a magnet.  Do not place your phone in close proximity
to magnetic storage media such as diskettes or credit cards for extended
periods of time.

Batteries

CAUTION:  To prevent injuries or burns, do not allow metal objects to
          contact or short circuit the battery terminals.  See "Batteries"
          above.

The design of the CT-500 cellular telephone complies with all applicable
RF Safety Standards.  The CT-500 meets the standards and recommendations
for the protection of public exposure to RF electromagnetic energy
established by governmental bodies and other qualified organizations, such
as the following.
