When boarding aircraft
Most airline regulations prohibit the on-board use of
portable PCs (and all other portable electronic devices
that could potentially emit stray RF energy), particularly
during take-offs and landings, to prevent any possible
interference with the reception of signals by airborne
electronic navigational devices.
FCC regulations prohibit using your device while in
the air. Turn your device OFF before boarding an aircraft.
Always request and obtain prior consent and approval
of an authorized airline representative before using your
device aboard an aircraft.
Always follow the instructions of the airline
representative whenever using your device aboard an
aircraft, to prevent any possible interference with
airborne electronic equipment.
When inside hospitals and other health care
facilities
Turn your device 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 external RF energy.
“device OFF” means to turn the radio standby switch
“OFF”, then turn the power off by pressing the Power
button .
Always comply with posted prohibitions of the use of
RF-emitting devices in hospitals and other medical
facilities. Failure to follow such directives could result in
the interference with medical equipment and/or devices.

RADIOFREQUENCY (RF) ENERGY EMISSION
All portable computers produce low levels of RF energy
due to the generation of digital timing pulses by its clock
oscillator circuits. Your wireless handheld portable
PPC4100 Pocket PC phone is a low power radio
transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it receives and
sends out RF signals.
In August 1996, the Federal Communications
Commissions (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 standards
bodies:
ANSI C95.1 (1992)
NCRP Report 86 (1986)
ICNIRP (1996)
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 (C951).
Your device has been equipped with internal shielding to
minimize stray emissions of RF energy. However, using
your device can still be limited in the some instances.
