First introduced in 1984, the handheld 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, home, emergency services, and others.

WARNING!! Please do not use your Mitsubishi wireless telephone if you may be distracted from another activity (such as driving a motor vehicle or walking across the street) and create a safety hazard to yourself and others. Use your wireless telephone responsibly. Be alert to your surroundings whenever you operate your wireless telephone.

For the safe and efficient operation of your phone, observe the following guidelines:

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 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 the safety standards previously set by both U.S. and
international standard bodies:

ANSI C95.1 (1992)*

NCRP Report 86 (1986)*

ICNIRP (1996)*

* American National Standards Institute; National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements; International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection.

Those standards were based on comprehensive and periodic evaluations of the relevant scientific literature. For example, over 120 scientists, engineers, and physicians from universities, government health agencies, and industry reviewed the available body of research to develop the ANSI Standard (C95.1).

The design of your phone complies with the FCC guidelines (and those standards).

Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage the phone and may violate FCC regulations.

NORMAL POSITION: Hold the phone as you would any other telephone with the antenna pointed up and over your shoulder.

TIPS ON EFFICIENT OPERATION: For your phone to operate most efficiently:

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

Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF signals; however, certain electronic equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals from your wireless phone.

The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum separation of six (6") inches 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.

Persons with pacemakers:

Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of such interference, you may want to consult with the service provider (or call the customer service line to discuss alternatives.)

If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of your device to determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this information.

Turn your phone OFF in health care facilities when any regulations posted in these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment that could be sensitive to RF energy.

RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadeqately 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 you vehicle.

Turn your phone OFF in any facility where posted notices so require.

FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while in the air. Switch your phone OFF before boarding an aircraft.

To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your phone OFF when in a blasting area, or in areas posted Turn off two-way radio. Obey all signals and instructions.

Turn your phone OFF when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere and obey all signs and instructions. 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 gasoline stations; below deck on boats; fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities; vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane); areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders; and any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine.

An air bag inflates with great force. DO NOT place objects, including both installed or portable wireless equipment, in the area over the air bag or in the air bag deployment area. If in-vehicle wireless equipment is improperly installed and the airbag inflates, serious injury could result.
