enhancing hands-free use of this phone. T9TM Text Input,  
vibrating alert and a 7-line LCD display make the CDM-  
8500 easier to use.

ANTENNA CARE  
Read This Information Before Using Your Handheld  
Portable Cellular Telephone  
Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna.  
Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments  
could damage the phone and may violate FCC regulations.  
EXPOSURE TO RADIO FREQUENCY SIGNALS  
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 (RF) signals.  
PHONE OPERATION  
Normal Position: Hold the phone as you would any other  
telephone with the antenna pointed up and over your shoul-  
der.  
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 inter-  
national standards bodies:  
Tips on efficient operation:  
- Extend your antenna fully.  
- Do not touch the antenna unnecessarily when the phone  
is in use. Contact with the antenna affects call quality and  
may cause the phone to operate at a higher power level  
than otherwise needed.  
ANSI C95.1 (1992) *  
NCRP Report 88 (1986) *  
ICNIRP (1996) *  
Those standards were based on comprehensive and peri-  
odic 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 theANSI  
Standard (C951).  
DRIVING SAFETY  
Talking on the phone while driving is extremely dangerous  
and is illegal in some states. Remember, safety comes first.  
Check the laws and regulations on the use of phones in the  
areas where you drive. Always obey them.  
The design of your phone complies with the FCC guidelines  
(and those standards).  
Also, if using your phone while driving please:  
- Give full attention to driving. Driving safely is your first  
responsibility.

ELECTRONIC DEVICES  
ELECTRONIC DEVICES  
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF  
energy. However, certain electronic equipment may not be  
shielded against the RF signals from your wireless phone.  
Other Medical Devices  
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the  
manufacturer of your device to determine if they are ade-  
quately shielded from external RF energy Your physician  
may be able to assist you in obtaining this information.  
Pacemakers  
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.  
Turn your phone OFF in healthcare facilities when any reg-  
ulations posted in these areas instruct you to do so.  
Hospitals or healthcare facilities may be using equipment  
that could be sensitive to external RF energy.  
Vehicles  
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately  
shielded electronic systems in motor vehicles. Check with  
the manufacturer or its representative regarding your vehi-  
cle. You should also consult the manufacturer of any equip-  
ment that has been added to your vehicle.  
If you have a pacemaker:  
l
ALWAYS keep the phone more than six inches from  
your pacemaker when the phone is turned on.  
l
l
Do not carry the phone in a breast pocket.  
An airbag inflates with great force. DO NOT place objects,  
including both installed or portable wireless equipment, in  
the area over the airbag or in the air bag deployment area.  
If in-vehicle wireless equipment is improperly installed and  
the air bag inflates, serious injury could result.  
Use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize  
the potential for interference.  
l
If you have any reason to suspect that interference  
is taking place, turn your phone OFF immediately.  
Posted Facilities  
Hearing Aids  
Turn your phone OFF where posted notices so require.  
Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some  
hearing aids. In the event of such interference, you may  
want to consult your service provider (or call the customer serv-  
ice line to discuss alternatives).

PRECAUTIONS AND WARNINGS  
Please read and understand all of the Precautions and  
Warnings contained in this manual before attempting to  
operate your phone.  
Aircraft  
FCC Regulations prohibit using your phone while in the air.  
Switch OFF your phone before boarding an aircraft.  
1. DO NOT use this equipment in an extreme environ-  
ment where high temperature or high humidity exists,  
such as near a heater or in a closed car parked in the  
sun.  
Blasting Areas  
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 signs and instructions.  
2. DO NOT abuse the equipment. Avoid striking, shaking  
or shocking. When not using the unit, lay down the unit  
to avoid possible damage due to instability.  
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres  
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 result-  
ing in bodily injury or even death.  
3. DO NOT expose this equipment to liquids such as rain or  
spilled beverages.  
4. DO NOT use unauthorized accessories. Use of unauthorized  
accessories may result in fire, electric shock or other  
bodily injury.  
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 trans-  
fer or storage facilities; vehicles using liquefied petroleum  
gas (such as propane or butane); areas where the air con-  
tains 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’s engine.  
5. DO NOT disassemble the phone or its accessories. If  
service or repair is required, return the unit to an author-  
ized Audiovox service center. If unit is disassembled,  
the risk of electric shock or fire may result.  
6. DO NOT short-circuit the battery terminals with metal  
items etc.  
7. DO NOT use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents or  
strong detergents to clean this phone. Always clean it  
with a soft, damp cloth.

OPERATING PROCEDURES  
WARNING! Read this information before using your phone  
CAUTION  
Never violate any of the following Rules and Regulations  
of the FCC when using your phone. The following offenses  
are punishable by fine, imprisonment, or both:  
In August 1996, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of  
the United States with its action in Report and Order FCC 96-326  
adopted an updated safety standard for human exposure to radio  
frequency electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC regulated trans-  
mitters. 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.  
- Using obscene, indecent, or profane language.  
- Using the unit to give off false distress calls.  
- Wiretapping or otherwise intercepting a telephone call,  
unless that person has first obtained the consent of the  
parties participating in the call.  
Use only the supplied or an approved antenna. Unauthorized  
antennas, modifications, or attachments could impair call quality,  
damage the phone, 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.  
Please contact your local dealer for replacement antenna.  
- Making anonymous calls to annoy, harass, or molest  
other people.  
- Charging to an account without authorization to avoid  
payment for service.  
Body-worn Operation (Holster Part Number : 2H020665002)  
This device was tested with holster (Part No:2H020665002) for  
body-worn operation with the back of the phone kept 0.59 inchs  
(15mm) from the body. To comply with FCC RF exposure require-  
ments, a minimum separation distance of 0.59 inchs (15mm) must  
be maintained between the user's body and the back of the phone,  
including the antenna, whether extended or retracted. All belt-clips,  
holsters and similar accessories used by this device must not con-  
tain any metallic components. Body-worn accessories that do not  
meet these requirements may not comply with FCC RF exposure  
limits and should be avoided.  
- Refusing to yield a party line when informed that it is  
needed for an emergency call (It is also unlawful to take  
over a party line by stating falsely that it is needed for an  
emergency).  
Note: For more information about RF exposure, please visit the

SAR INFORMATION  
SAR INFORMATION  
as described in this user guide, is 0.633 W/kg. (Body-worn meas-  
urements differ among phone models, depending upon available  
accessories and FCC requirements). While there may be differ-  
ences between the SAR levels of various phones and at various  
positions, they all meet the government requirement for safe expo-  
sure.  
THIS MODEL PHONE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT’S  
REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.  
Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is  
designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for  
exposure to radiofrequency (RF) energy set by the Federal  
Communications Commission of the U.S. Government. These lim-  
its are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted  
levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines are  
based on standards that were developed by independent scientif-  
ic organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation of sci-  
entific studies. The standards include a substantial safety margin  
designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and  
health.  
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model  
phone with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance  
with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR information on this  
model phone is on file with the FCC and can be found under the  
ing on FCC ID PP4TX-50C.  
Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be  
found on the Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association  
The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a unit  
of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR.  
The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg.* Tests for SAR are con-  
ducted with the phone transmitting at its highest certified power  
level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is deter-  
mined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of  
the phone while operating can be well below the maximum value.  
This is because the phone is designed to operate at multiple power  
levels so as to use only the power required to reach the network.  
In general, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna,  
the lower the power output.  
* In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile phones  
used by the public is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over one gram  
of tissue. The standard incorporates a substantial margin of  
safety to give additional protection for the public and to account for  
any variations in measurements.  
Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, it must be  
tested and certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the limit  
established by the government-adopted requirement for safe  
exposure. The tests are performed in positions and locations (e.g.,  
at the ear and worn on the body) as required by the FCC for each  
model. The highest SAR value for this model phone when tested  
for use at the ear is 1.15 W/kg and when worn on the body,

U.S. Food and Drug Administration -  
Center for Devices and Radiological Health  
Consumer Update on Mobile Phones  
• Design wireless phones in a way that minimizes any RF expo  
sure to the user that is not necessary for device function; and  
• Cooperate in providing users of wireless phones with the best  
possible information on possible effects of wireless phone use  
on human health.  
1. Do wireless phones pose a health hazard?  
The available scientific evidence does not show that any health  
problems are associated with using wireless phones. There is no  
proof, however, that wireless phones are absolutely safe. Wireless  
phones emit low levels of radiofrequency energy (RF) in the  
microwave range while being used. They also emit very low levels  
of RF when in the stand-by mode. Whereas high levels of RF can  
produce health effects (by heating tissue), exposure to low level RF  
that does not produce heating effects causes no known adverse  
health effects. Many studies of low level RF exposures have not  
found any biological effects. Some studies have suggested that  
some biological effects may occur, but such findings have not been  
confirmed by additional research. In some cases, other  
researchers have had difficulty in reproducing those studies, or in  
determining the reasons for inconsistent results.  
FDA belongs to an interagency working group of the federal agen-  
cies that have responsibility for different aspects of RF safety to  
ensure coordinated efforts at the federal level. The following agen-  
cies belong to this working group:  
• National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health  
• Environmental Protection Agency  
• Federal Communications Commission  
• Occupational Safety and Health Administration  
• National Telecommunications and Information Administration  
The National Institutes of Health participates in some interagency  
working group activities, as well.  
FDA shares regulatory responsibilities for wireless phones with the  
Federal Communications Commission (FCC). All phones that are  
sold in the United States must comply with FCC safety guidelines  
that limit RF exposure. FCC relies on FDA and other health agen-  
cies for safety questions about wireless phones.  
FCC also regulates the base stations that the wireless phone net-  
works rely upon. While these base stations operate at higher  
power than do the wireless phones themselves, the RF exposures  
that people get from these base stations are typically thousands of  
times lower than those they can get from wireless phones. Base  
stations are thus not the subject of the safety questions discussed  
in this document.  
2. What is FDA’s role concerning the safety of wireless  
phones?  
Under the law, FDA does not review the safety of radiation-emitting  
consumer products such as wireless phones before they can be  
sold, as it does with new drugs or medical devices. However, the  
agency has authority to take action if wireless phones are shown  
to emit radiofrequency energy (RF) at a level that is hazardous to  
the user. In such a case, FDA could require the manufacturers of  
wireless phones to notify users of the health hazard and to repair,  
replace or recall the phones so that the hazard no longer exists.  
Although the existing scientific data do not justify FDA regulatory  
actions, FDA has urged the wireless phone industry to take a num-  
ber of steps, including the following:  
3. What kinds of phones are the subject of this update?  
The term “wireless phone” refers here to hand-held wireless  
phones with built-in antennas, often called “cell,” “mobile,” or “PCS”  
phones. These types of wireless phones can expose the user to  
measurable radiofrequency energy (RF) because of the short dis-  
tance between the phone and the user’s head. These RF expo-  
sures are limited by Federal Communications Commission safety  
• Support needed research into possible biological effects of RF  
of the type emitted by wireless phones;  
Page 130 - Chapter 9  
Chapter 9 - Page 131  
guidelines that were developed with the advice of FDA and other  
federal health and safety agencies. When the phone is located at  
greater distances from the user, the exposure to RF is drastically  
lower because a person’s RF exposure decreases rapidly with  
increasing distance from the source. The so-called “cordless  
phones,” which have a base unit connected to the telephone wiring  
in a house, typically operate at far lower power levels, and thus pro-  
duce RF exposures far below the FCC safety limits.  
5. What research is needed to decide whether RF exposure  
from wireless phones poses a health risk?  
A combination of laboratory studies and epidemiological studies of  
people actually using wireless phones would provide some of the  
data that are needed. Lifetime animal exposure studies could be  
completed in a few years. However, very large numbers of animals  
would be needed to provide reliable proof of a cancer promoting  
effect if one exists. Epidemiological studies can provide data that is  
directly applicable to human populations, but 10 or more years’ fol-  
low-up may be needed to provide answers about some health  
effects, such as cancer. This is because the interval between the  
time of exposure to a cancer-causing agent and the time tumors  
develop - if they do - may be many, many years. The interpretation  
of epidemiological studies is hampered by difficulties in measuring  
actual RF exposure during day-to-day use of wireless phones.  
Many factors affect this measurement, such as the angle at which  
the phone is held, or which model of phone is used.  
4. What are the results of the research done already?  
The research done thus far has produced conflicting results, and  
many studies have suffered from flaws in their research methods.  
Animal experiments investigating the effects of radiofrequency  
energy (RF) exposures characteristic of wireless phones have  
yielded conflicting results that often cannot be repeated in other  
laboratories. A few animal studies, however, have suggested that  
low levels of RF could accelerate the development of cancer in lab-  
oratory animals. However, many of the studies that showed  
increased tumor development used animals that had been geneti-  
cally engineered or treated with cancer-causing chemicals so as to  
be pre-disposed to develop cancer in the absence of RF exposure.  
Other studies exposed the animals to RF for up to 22 hours per  
day. These conditions are not similar to the conditions under which  
people use wireless phones, so we don’t know with certainty what  
the results of such studies mean for human health.  
Three large epidemiology studies have been published since  
December 2000. Between them, the studies investigated any pos-  
sible association between the use of wireless phones and primary  
brain cancer, glioma, meningioma, or acoustic neuroma, tumors of  
the brain or salivary gland, leukemia, or other cancers. None of the  
studies demonstrated the existence of any harmful health effects  
from wireless phone RF exposures. However, none of the studies  
can answer questions about long-term exposures, since the aver-  
age period of phone use in these studies was around three years.  
6. What is FDA doing to find out more about the possible  
health effects of wireless phone RF?  
FDAis working with the U.S. National Toxicology Program and with  
groups of investigators around the world to ensure that high priori-  
ty animal studies are conducted to address important questions  
about the effects of exposure to radiofrequency energy (RF).  
FDA has been a leading participant in the World Health  
Organization International Electromagnetic Fields (EMF) Project  
since its inception in 1996. An influential result of this work has  
been the development of a detailed agenda of research needs that  
has driven the establishment of new research programs around  
the world. The Project has also helped develop a series of public  
information documents on EMF issues.  
FDA and the Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association  
(CTIA) have a formal Cooperative Research and Development  
Agreement (CRADA) to do research on wireless phone safety.  
FDA provides the scientific oversight, obtaining input from experts  
in government, industry, and academic organizations. CTIA-fund-  
ed research is conducted through contracts to independent inves-  
tigators.  
Page 132 - Chapter 9  
Chapter 9 - Page 133  
The initial research will include both laboratory studies and studies  
of wireless phone users. The CRADA will also include a broad  
assessment of additional research needs in the context of the lat-  
est research developments around the world.  
methodology for measuring the rate at which RF is deposited in  
the heads of wireless phone users. The test method uses a tissue-  
simulating model of the human head. Standardized SAR test  
methodology is expected to greatly improve the consistency of  
measurements made at different laboratories on the same phone.  
SAR is the measurement of the amount of energy absorbed in tis-  
sue, either by the whole body or a small part of the body. It is meas-  
ured in watts/kg (or milliwatts/g) of matter. This measurement is  
used to determine whether a wireless phone complies with safety  
guidelines.  
7. How can I find out how much radiofrequency energy  
exposure I can get by using my wireless phone?  
All phones sold in the United States must comply with Federal  
Communications Commission (FCC) guidelines that limit radiofre-  
quency energy (RF) exposures. FCC established these guidelines  
in consultation with FDA and the other federal health and safety  
agencies. The FCC limit for RF exposure from wireless telephones  
is set at a Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) of 1.6 watts per kilogram  
(1.6 W/kg). The FCC limit is consistent with the safety standards  
developed by the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineering  
(IEEE) and the National Council on Radiation Protection and  
Measurement. The exposure limit takes into consideration the  
body’s ability to remove heat from the tissues that absorb energy  
from the wireless phone and is set well below levels known to have  
effects.  
9. What steps can I take to reduce my exposure to  
radiofrequency energy from my wireless phone?  
If there is a risk from these products—and at this point we do not  
know that there is—it is probably very small. But if you are con-  
cerned about avoiding even potential risks, you can take a few sim-  
ple steps to minimize your exposure to radiofrequency energy  
(RF). Since time is a key factor in how much exposure a person  
receives, reducing the amount of time spent using a wireless  
phone will reduce RF exposure.  
• If you must conduct extended conversations by wireless phone  
every day, you could place more distance between your body and  
the source of the RF, since the exposure level drops off dramati-  
cally with distance. For example, you could use a headset and  
carry the wireless phone away from your body or use a wireless  
phone connected to a remote antenna.  
Manufacturers of wireless phones must report the RF exposure  
level for each model of phone to the FCC. The FCC website  
FCC identification number on your phone so you can find your  
phone’s RF exposure level in the online listing.  
Again, the scientific data do not demonstrate that wireless phones  
are harmful. But if you are concerned about the RF exposure from  
these products, you can use measures like those described above  
to reduce your RF exposure from wireless phone use.  
8. What has FDA done to measure the radiofrequency  
energy coming from wireless phones ?  
The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) is devel-  
oping a technical standard for measuring the radiofrequency ener-  
gy (RF) exposure from wireless phones and other wireless cell  
phones with the participation and leadership of FDA scientists and  
engineers. The standard, “Recommended Practice for  
Determining the Spatial-Peak Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) in  
the Human Body Due to Wireless Communications Devices:  
Experimental Techniques,” sets forth the first consistent test  
10. What about children using wireless phones?  
The scientific evidence does not show a danger to users of wire-  
less phones, including children and teenagers. If you want to take  
steps to lower exposure to radiofrequency energy (RF), the meas-  
ures described above would apply to children and teenagers using  
wireless phones. Reducing the time of wireless phone use and  
Page 134 - Chapter 9  
Chapter 9 - Page 135  
increasing the distance between the user and the RF source will  
reduce RF exposure. Some groups sponsored by other national  
governments have advised that children be discouraged from  
using wireless phones at all. For example, the government in the  
United Kingdom distributed leaflets containing such a recommen-  
dation in December 2000. They noted that no evidence exists that  
using a wireless phone causes brain tumors or other ill effects.  
Their recommendation to limit wireless phone use by children was  
strictly precautionary; it was not based on scientific evidence that any  
health hazard exists.

11. What about wireless phone interference with medical  
equipment?  
- World Health Organization (WHO) International EMF Project:  
(http://www.who.int/emf)  
Radiofrequency energy (RF) from wireless phones can interact  
with some electronic devices. For this reason, FDA helped devel-  
op a detailed test method to measure electromagnetic interference  
(EMI) of implanted cardiac pacemakers and defibrillators from  
wireless telephones. This test method is now part of a standard  
sponsored by the Association for the Advancement of Medical  
instrumentation (AAMI). The final draft, a joint effort by FDA, med-  
ical device manufacturers, and many other groups, was completed  
in late 2000. This standard will allow manufacturers to ensure that  
cardiac pacemakers and defibrillators are safe from wireless  
phone EMI.  
- National Radiological Protection Board (UK):  
(http://www.nrpb.org.uk/)  
FDA has tested hearing aids for interference from handheld wire-  
less phones and helped develop a voluntary standard sponsored  
by the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE). This  
standard specifies test methods and performance requirements for  
hearing aids and wireless phones so that that no interference  
occurs when a person uses a “compatible” phone and a “compat-  
ible” hearing aid at the same time. This standard was approved by  
the IEEE in 2000.  
FDA continues to monitor the use of wireless phones for possible  
interactions with other medical devices. Should harmful interference  
be found to occur, FDA will conduct testing to assess the inter-  
ference and work to resolve the problem.

Many companies are making look alike accessories and  
in some cases, promoting that their product is equal to  
or better than the Audiovox product. Be careful. Some of  
these products may not be compatible to use with your  
Audiovox product and may damage the unit or cause it  
to malfunction. If service is required on your unit and it is  
determined that a non-Audiovox accessory has created  
the problem with your unit, the Warranty will not apply. In  
addition, if the unit has already suffered irreversible  
damage by reason of a non-compatible accessory, the  
Warranty will be voided. To protect your Warranty, use  
only compatible accessories which cannot damage or  
interfere with the functioning of your Audiovox product.  
The antenna, keypad, display, rechargeable battery and battery  
charger, if included, are similarly warranted for twelve (12)  
months from date of purchase.  
This Warranty extends only to consumers who purchase the  
product in the United States or Canada and it is not assignable  
or transferable.  
This Warranty does not apply to:  
(a) Product subjected to abnormal use or conditions, accident,  
mishandling, neglect, unauthorized alteration, misuse,  
improper installation or repair or improper storage;  
(b) Product whose mechanical serial number or electronic serial  
number has been removed, altered or defaced.
