Important Information

use and operation of your phone. Please read all the information
carefully prior to using the phone for the best performance
and to prevent any damage to or misuse ofthe phone. Any unapproved

o VX4500
The VX4500 is a dual-band phone that operates on both Code
Division Multiple Access (CDMA) frequencies: cellular services
at 800 MHz and Personal Communication Services (PCS) at 1.9
Ghz.
CDMA technology uses a feature called DSSS (Direct Sequence
Spread Spectrum) that enables the phone to keep communication
from being crossed and to use one frequency channel by multiple
users in the same specific area. This results in a 10-fold
capacity increase when compared with analog mode. In addition,
features such as soft / softer handoff, hard Handoff, and
dynamic RF power control technologies combine to reduce call
interruptions.
The Cellular and PCS CDMA networks consist of MSO (Mobile
Switching Office), BSC (Base Station Controller), BTS (Base
station Transmission System), and MS (Mobile Station). The
following table lists some major CDMA standards.

FCC RF Exposure Information
Vehicle-Mounted External Antenna
WARNING! Read this information before operating the phone.
In August 1996, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
ofthe United States, with its action in Report and Order
FCC 96-326, adopted an updated safety standard for human
exposure to radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic energy emitted
by FCC regulated transmitters. Those guidelines are consistent
with the safety standard previously set by both U.S. and
international standards bodies.
The design of this phone complies with the FCC guidelines
and these international standards.
(Optional, if available.)
A minimum distance of 8 inches (20 cm) must be maintained
between the user / bystander and the vehicle-mounted external
antenna to satisfy FCC RF exposure requirements. For more
information about RF exposure, visit the FCC website at file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Steve/Cookies/Temporary%20Internet%20Files/Content.IE5/K1MRKLA7/www.fcc.gov.
Bodily Contact During Operation
This device was tested for typical use with the back of
the phone kept 3/4 inches (2 cm) from the body. To comply
with FCC RF exposure requirements, a minimum separation distance
of 3/4 inches (2 cm) must be maintained between the user’s
body and the back of the phone, including the antenna, whether
extended or retracted. Third-party belt-clips, holsters,
and similar accessories containing metallic components should
not be used. Avoid the use of accessories that cannot maintain
3/4 inches (2 cm) distance between the user’s body and the
back of the phone and have not been tested for compliance
with FCC RF exposure limits.
Caution
Use only the supplied and approved antenna. Use of unauthorized
antennas or modifications could impair call quality, damage
the phone, void your warranty and/or result in violation
of FCC regulations.
Do not use the phone with a damaged antenna. If a damaged
antenna comes into contact with the skin a minor burn may
result. Contact your local dealer for a replacement of antenna.
