WARNING  
Never attempt to disassemble the phone or any of its accesso-  
ries. If service or repair is required, return the unit to an Audiovox  
authorized service center. If the unit should be disassembled, a  
risk of electric shock or fire may result.  
Always use authorized Audiovox accessories and optional de-  
vices when operating this cellular phone, as the use of incompat-  
ible auxiliary equipment could result in fire, electric shock or other  
bodily injury. The use of unauthorized accessories will also void  
your Warranty.  
When the phone is used for extended periods of time in high  
temperature conditions the phone surface could become hot.  
Please use caution when touching the phone under such condi-  
tions.  
Protection of Children  
Never allow children to play with your phone, as they might hurt  
themselves or others (e.g., by poking themselves or others in the  
eye with the antenna).  
Always keep all accessories and components out of the reach of  
small children. Small parts, in particular, might present a choking  
hazard to children.  
Use in Vehicles  
Never store or transport flammable liquids, gases or explosive  
materials in the same compartment as the phone or any of its  
accessories, as possible sparking in the equipment could ignite a  
fire or explosion.  
Always secure the phone in its holder, when it is not in use. Never  
place the phone on the passenger seat or anyplace else in the  
car where it can become a projectile during a collision or sudden  
stop.  
10

CAUTION  
• Never expose this phone to high temperatures, such as those  
found near a heater or in a closed car parked in the sun.This can  
cause heat-damage to the plastic parts, the electronic compo-  
nents and the battery.  
• Never drop this phone or subject it to violent impact or shock.  
This can cause mechanical damage.  
• Never allow any liquids to spill on this phone or expose it to rain,  
water or moisture. This can cause corrosion damage.  
• Never store this phone in cold areas.When the phone warms up  
(to its normal operating temperature), moisture can form inside  
the phone, which may damage the phone’s electronic circuit board.  
• Never use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong deter-  
gents to clean this phone. Always clean it with a soft cloth that  
has been slightly dampened in a mild soap-and-water solution.  
• Never paint this phone. This can clog the moving parts.  
• If you at anytime notice an allergic skin reaction from use of this  
product, immediately discontinue use and consult with your phy-  
sician.  
Before connecting this cellular phone or any of its accessories to  
any other device, always read the Instruction Manual for that other  
device first to obtain detailed safety instructions. Never connect this

tionally bringing the terminals in contact with another metal ob-  
ject. That could result in burns, other bodily injury or a fire, and  
could also damage the battery pack.  
Never expose the terminals of the battery pack to any other metal  
object. Always wrap it or place it in a plastic bag, whenever trans-  
porting it.  
Never heat and never attempt to disassemble the battery pack,

may be incompatible with your phone.  
12

cords or plugs could result in electric shock, burns or fire. Contact  
an Audiovox authorized service center immediately to obtain a  
suitable replacement.  
14  
Safe Operation of AC Adapter (continued)  
WARNING  
Always unplug the AC adapter or desktop charger from the power  
source before attempting any cleaning in order to avoid the risk  
of electric shock. Always use a soft cloth dampened with water to  
clean the equipment, after it has been unplugged.  
Never attempt to use an unauthorized AC adapter or desktop  
charger with your phone in order to avoid any risk of bodily injury  
or property damage. Since unauthorized accessories have differ-  
ent specifications, they may be incompatible with your phone.  
CAUTION  
Always confirm that the power cord for any accessory is located  
so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise sub-  
jected to damage or stress.  
Never place heavy objects on a power cord, as this could result in  
damage to the cord.  
Never bend or twist a power cord, and never pull on a power cord  
in a attempt to remove an AC adapter or accessory plug from a  
socket. Always grasp the AC adapter or the accessory plug di-

Battery Information  
Temperature extremes affect the Battery Packs ability to charge;  
always allow it to completely cool down or warm up first.  
Subjecting the Battery Pack to extremely high or low tempera-  
tures reduces its capacity and its life expectancy. If possible,  
always try to keep the Battery Pack between 59˚F and 77˚F (15˚C  
and 25˚C).  
After repeatedly using the rechargeable battery, the talk and  
standby times may become shortened when the battery is fully  
charged. When this occurs, replace it with a manufactured-ap-  
proved battery pack.

FDA Consumer Information on Wireless Phones  
Chapter 10 117  
Safety Information for  
Wireless Handheld Phones  
Read this information before using your handheld portable  
Cellular Telephone.  
Your wireless handheld portable telephone is a low power radio trans-  
mitter and receiver.When it is ON, it receives and also sends out radio  
frequency (RF) signals.  
FCC RF EXPOSURE INFORMATION  
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 fre-  
quency (RF) electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC regulated trans-  
mitters. Those guidelines are consistent with the safety standard pre-  
viously set by both U.S. and international standards bodies. The de-  
sign of this phone complies with the FCC guidelines and these inter-  
national standards.  
Use only the supplied or an approved antenna. Unauthorized anten-  
nas, damaged antennas, modifications, or attachments could impair  
call quality, damage the phone, or result in violation of FCC regula-  
tions. Please contact your local dealer for replacement antenna.  
Body-worn Operation  
This device was tested for typical body-worn operations with the BC-  
9500 belt-clip and LB-9500 holster models, offered by Audiovox as an  
accessory to this phone, and found to comply with FCC RF exposure  
requirements. Third-party belt-clips, holsters and similar accessories  
should be avoided, as they have not been tested and may not comply  
with FCC RF exposure limits.  
For more information about RF exposure, please visit the FCC website  
at www.fcc.gov .  
PHONE OPERATION  
Normal position: Hold the phone as you would any other telephone  
with the antenna pointed up and over your shoulder.  
118 Chapter 10  
Tips on Efficient Operation:  
For your phone to operate most efficiently:  
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.  
DRIVING  
Check the laws and regulations on the use of wireless telephones in  
the areas where you drive.Always obey them.Also, if using your phone  
while driving, please:  
Give full attention to driving driving safely is your first responsibil-  
ity.  
Use hands-free operation, if available.  
Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driv-  
ing conditions so require.  
ELECTRONIC DEVICES  
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF signals. How-  
ever, certain electronic equipment may not be shielded against the RF  
signals from your wireless phone.  
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 interfer-  
ence with the pacemaker.These recommendations are consistent with  
the independent research by and recommendations of Wireless Tech-  
nology Research.  
Persons with Pacemakers:  
Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than six (6) inches  
from their pacemaker when the phone is turned ON.  
Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket.  
Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize  
the potential for interference.  
If you have any reason to suspect that interference is tak-  
ing place, turn your phone OFF immediately.  
Chapter 10 119  
Hearing Aids  
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 service line to discuss alternatives].  
Other Medical Devices  
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufac-  
turer of your device to determine if they are adequately shielded from  
external RF energy.Your physician may be able to assist you in obtain-  
ing 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 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 vehicle.You should also consult the  
manufacturer of any equipment that has been added to your vehicle.  
Posted Facilities  
Turn your phone OFF in any facility where posted notices so require.  
AIRCRAFT  
FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while in the air.Switch OFF  
your phone before boarding an aircraft.  
BLASTING AREAS  
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your phone OFF when  
in a Blasting areaor in areas posted Turn off two-way radio. Obey  
all signs and instructions.  
120 Chapter 10  
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 resulting in bodily injury or even death.  
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not al-  
ways marked clearly. Potential areas may 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 pro-  
pane 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.  
For Vehicles Equipped with an Air Bag  
An air bag inflates with great force. DO NOT place objects, including  
either 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 air bag inflates, serious injury could  
result.  
Chapter 10 121  
SAR Information  
THIS MODEL PHONE MEETS THE GOVERNMENTS REQUIRE-  
MENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.  
Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is de-  
signed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for ex-  
posure to radiofrequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Commu-  
nications Commission of the U.S.Government.These limits are part  
of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF  
energy for the general population.The guidelines are based on stan-  
dards that were developed by independent scientific organizations  
through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The  
standards include a substantial safety margin designed to assure  
the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.  
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 determined  
at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the phone  
while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is be-  
cause 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.  
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 expo-  
sure.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 1.35 W/kg and when worn on the body, as described in  
this user guide, is 0.64 W/kg. (Body-worn measurements differ  
among phone models, depending upon available accessories and  
FCC requirements). While there may be differences between the  
SAR levels of various phones and at various positions, they all meet  
the government requirement for safe exposure.  
122 Chapter 10  
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 Display  
Grant section of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching on FCC  
ID CJ6DCE46036A.  
Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be  
found on the Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association  
(CTIA) web-site at http://www.phonefacts.net.  
* 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.  
Chapter 10 123  
Emergency Calls  
Never rely solely upon your wireless phone for essential communications (e.g.  
medical emergencies), if it can be avoided, since a wireless phone requires a  
complex combination of radio signals, relay stations and landline networks for  
its operation. Consequently, emergency calls may not always be possible un-  
der all conditions on all wireless phone systems.  
Your wireless phone, however, may sometimes be the only available means of  
communication at the scene of an accident. When making an emergency call,  
always give the recipient all necessary information as accurately as possible.  
Never terminate an emergency call until you have received clearance to do so.  
FCC Enhanced 911 (E911) Rules Background  
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) requires wireless carriers to  
transmit specific latitude and longitude location (Automatic Location Identifica-  
tion = ALI) information as well as 911calls to Public Safety Answering Points  
(PSAPs) to identify the location of the caller in case of emergency.  
Accuracy requirement for ALI information by FCC E911 rules is within 50 meters  
for 67 percent of calls and within 150 meters for 95 percent of calls (FCCs ALI  
Requirements).  
CDM-9500s ALI Capability  
The Audiovox CDM-9500 is an ALI-capable phone equipped with the GPS (Glo-  
bal Positioning System:Satellite assisted location information system) receiver  
supporting GPS based ALI-capable network to comply with the FCCs ALI re-  
quirements.  
The network compliance with the above FCC requirements is dependent on:  
(a) the use of digital technology by the wireless network; (b) GPS satellite sig-  
nals being able to reach the handset (such transmissions do not always work  
indoors, for example) ; and (c) handset signals reaching wireless base sta-  
tions(atmospheric and environmental conditions may cause variations in hand-  
set receiving signal strength).  
Also the transmission of the ALI information is subject, in part, to system con-  
straints within the wireless network to which the E911 signal is transmitted and  
over which Audiovox has no control.  
Finally, customers are advised that the CDM-9500s ALI capability is to be used  
for E911 purposes only.  
124 Chapter 10

U.S. Food and Drug Administration  
Cell Phone Facts  
Consumer Information on Wireless Phones  
What kinds of phones are the subject of this update?  
The term wireless phonerefers here to hand-held wireless phones with built-  
in antennas, often called cell,” “mobile,or PCSphones.These types of wire-  
less phones can expose the user to measurable radiofrequency energy (RF)  
because of the short distance between the phone and the users head. These  
RF exposures are limited by Federal Communications Commission safety guide-  
lines 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 persons RF exposure de-  
creases 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 produce RF exposures well  
within the FCCs compliance limits.  
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 wire-  
less 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.  
What is FDAs 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 number of steps, including the  
following:  
Support needed research into possible biological effects of RF of the type  
emitted by wireless phones;  
Design wireless phones in a way that minimizes any RF exposure to the user  
that is not necessary for device function; and  
Cooperate in providing users of wireless phones with the best possible infor-  
mation on possible effects of wireless phone use on human health.  
126 Chapter 10  
FDA belongs to an interagency working group of the federal agencies that have  
responsibility for different aspects of RF safety to ensure coordinated efforts at  
the federal level. The following agencies 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 agencies for safety questions about wireless  
phones.  
FCC also regulates the base stations that the wireless phone networks 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 sta-  
tions are typically thousands of times lower than those they can get from wire-  
less phones. Base stations are thus not the primary subject of the safety ques-  
tions discussed in this document.  
What is FDA doing to find out more about the possible health effects of  
wireless phone RF?  
FDA is working with the U.S. National Toxicology Program and with groups of  
investigators around the world to ensure that high priority 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 Interna-  
tional Electromagnetic Fields (EMF) Project since its inception in 1996. An in-  
fluential 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 infor-  
mation 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, ob-  
taining input from experts in government, industry, and academic organiza-  
tions. CTIA-funded research is conducted through contracts to independent  
investigators.The initial research will include both laboratory studies and stud-  
ies of wireless phone users.The CRADA will also include a broad assessment  
of additional research needs in the context of the latest research developments  
around the world.  
Chapter 10 127  
What steps can I take to reduce my exposure to radiofrequency energy  
from my wireless phone?  
If there is a risk from these productsand at this point we do not know that  
there isit is probably very small. But if you are concerned about avoiding  
even potential risks, you can take a few simple steps to minimize your exposure  
to radiofrequency energy (RF). Since time is a key factor in how much expo-  
sure 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 dramatically 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  
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.  
What about children using wireless phones?  
The scientific evidence does not show a danger to users of wireless phones,  
including children and teenagers. If you want to take steps to lower exposure to  
radiofrequency energy (RF), the measures described above would apply to  
children and teenagers using wireless phones. Reducing the time of wireless  
phone use and increasing the distance between the user and the RF source  
will reduce RF exposure.  
Some groups sponsored by other national governments have advised that chil-  
dren be discouraged from using wireless phones at all. For example, the gov-  
ernment in the United Kingdom distributed leaflets containing such a recom-  
mendation 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.  
Do hands-free kits for wireless phones reduce risks from exposure to RF  
emissions?  
Since there are no known risks from exposure to RF emissions from wireless  
phones, there is no reason to believe that hands-free kits reduce risks. Hands-  
free kits can be used with wireless phones for convenience and comfort.These  
systems reduce the absorption of RF energy in the head because the phone,  
which is the source of the RF emissions, will not be placed against the head.  
On the other hand, if the phone is mounted against the waist or other part of  
the body during use, then that part of the body will absorb more RF energy.  
Wireless phones marketed in the U.S.are required to meet safety requirements  
regardless of whether they are used against the head or against the body.  
Either configuration should result in compliance with the safety limit.  
128 Chapter 10  
Do wireless phone accessories that claim to shield the head from RF  
radiation work?  
Since there are no known risks from exposure to RF emissions from wireless  
phones, there is no reason to believe that accessories that claim to shield the  
head from those emissions reduce risks. Some products that claim to shield  
the user from RF absorption use special phone cases, while others involve  
nothing more than a metallic accessory attached to the phone. Studies have  
shown that these products generally do not work as advertised. Unlike hand-  
freekits, these so-called shieldsmay interfere with proper operation of the  
phone.The phone may be forced to boost its power to compensate, leading to  
an increase in RF absorption. In February 2002, the Federal trade Commission  
(FTC) charged two companies that sold devices that claimed to protect wire-  
less phone users from radiation with making false and unsubstantiated claims.  
According to FTC, these defendants lacked a reasonable basis to substantiate  
their claim.  
What about wireless phone interference with medical equipment?  
Radiofrequency energy (RF) from wireless phones can interact with some elec-  
tronic devices. For this reason, FDA helped develop 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 instru-  
mentation (AAMI). The final draft, a joint effort by FDA, medical device manu-  
facturers, 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.  
FDA has tested hearing aids for interference from handheld wireless phones  
and helped develop a voluntary standard sponsored by the Institute of Electri-  
cal 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 compatiblephone and a compat-  
iblehearing 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 interference and work to resolve the problem.  
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 inves-  
tigating 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 laboratory animals.  
However, many of the studies that showed increased tumor development used  
animals that had been genetically 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.  
Chapter 10 129  
These conditions are not similar to the conditions under which people use wire-  
less phones, so we dont 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 possible association between the  
use of wireless phones and primary brain cancer, glioma, meningioma, or acous-  
tic 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 average period of phone use  
in these studies was around three years.  
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 ac-  
tually 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 yearsfollow-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 measur-  
ing 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.
