Performance and Safety  
Getting the Most Out of Your Reception  
KeepingTabsonSignalStrength  
The quality of each call you make or receive depends on the signal  
strength in your area. Your phone informs you of the current signal  
strength by displaying a number of bars next to the signal strength icon.  
The more bars displayed, the stronger the signal. If you’re inside a  
building, being near a window may give you better reception.  
UnderstandingthePowerSaveFeature  
If your phone is unable to find a signal after 15 minutes of searching, a  
Power Save feature is automatically activated. If your phone is active, it  
periodically rechecks service availability or you can check it yourself by  
pressing any key. Anytime the Power Save feature is activated, a  
message displays on the screen. When a signal is found, your phone  
returns to standby mode.  
UnderstandingHowYourPhoneOperates  
Your phone is basically a radio transmitter and receiver. When it's  
turned on, it receives and transmits radio frequency (RF) signals.  
When you use your phone, the system handling your call controls the  
power level. This power can range from 0.006 watts to 0.2 watts in  
digital mode.  
KnowingRadioFrequencySafety  
The design of your phone complies with updated NCRP standards  
described below.  
In 1991-92, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE)  
and the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) joined in  
updating ANSI's 1982 standard for safety levels with respect to human  
exposure to RF signals. More than 120 scientists, engineers and  
physicians from universities, government health agencies and  
industries developed this updated standard after reviewing the  
available body of research. In 1993, the Federal Communications  
Commission (FCC) adopted this updated standard in a regulation. In  
August 1996, the FCC adopted a hybrid standard consisting of the  
 
24  
existing ANSI/IEEE standard and the guidelines published by the  
National Council of Radiation Protections and Measurements (NCRP).  
MaintainingYourPhone’sPeakPerformance  
There are several simple guidelines to operating your phone properly  
and maintaining safe, satisfactory service.  
Speak directly into the mouthpiece.  
Avoid exposing your phone and accessories to rain or liquid spills. If  
your phone does get wet, immediately turn the power off and  
remove the battery. If it’s inoperable, return it to a Store or call PCS  
Customer Solutions for service.  
For the best care of your phone, only Authorized Personnel should  
service your phone and accessories. Faulty service may void the  
warranty.  
Tip:  
Maintaining Safe Use of and Access to Your Phone  
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS OUTLINED MAY LEAD TO  
SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY AND POSSIBLE PROPERTY DAMAGE.  
UsingYourPhoneWhileDriving  
Talking on your phone while driving (or operating the phone without a  
hands-free device) is prohibited in some jurisdictions. Laws vary as to  
specific restrictions. Remember that safety always comes first.  
When using your phone in the car:  
Get to know your phone and its features, such as speed dial  
and redial.

FollowingSafetyGuidelines  
To operate your phone safely and efficiently, always follow any special  
regulations in a given area. Turn your phone off in areas where use is  
forbidden or when it may cause interference or danger.  
UsingYourPhoneNearOtherElectronicDevices  
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from radiofrequency  
(RF) signals. However, RF signals from wireless phones may affect  
inadequately shielded electronic equipment.  
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded  
electronic operating systems and/or entertainment systems in motor  
vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or their representative to  
determine if these systems are adequately shielded from external RF  
signals. Also check with the manufacturer regarding any equipment  
that has been added to your vehicle.  
Consult the manufacturer of any personal medical devices, such as  
pacemakers and hearing aids, to determine if they are adequately  
shielded from external RF signals.  
Always turn off the phone in health care facilities and request  
permission before using the phone near medical equipment.  
Note:  
TurningOffYourPhoneBeforeFlying  
Turn off your phone before boarding any aircraft. To prevent possible  
interference with aircraft systems, the U.S. Federal Aviation  
Administration (FAA) regulations require you to have permission from a  
crew member to use your phone while the plane is on the ground. To  
prevent any risk of interference, FCC regulations prohibit using your  
phone while the plane is in the air.  
TurningOffYourPhoneinDangerousAreas  
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your phone off  
when in a blasting area or in other areas with signs indicating two-way  
 
26  
radios should be turned off. Construction crews often use remote-  
control RF devices to set off explosives.  
Turn your phone off when you're in any area that has a potentially  
explosive atmosphere. Although it's rare, your phone and accessories  
could generate sparks. Sparks can cause an explosion or fire, resulting  
in bodily injury or even death. These areas are often, but not always,  
clearly marked. They include:  
Fueling areas such as gas stations.  
Below deck on boats.  
Fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities.  
Areas where the air contains chemicals or particles such as grain,  
dust or metal powders.  
Any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off  
your vehicle’s engine.  
Never transport or store flammable gas, liquid or explosives in the  
compartment of your vehicle that contains your phone or accessories.  
Note:  
RestrictingChildren’sAccesstoYourPhone  
Your phone is not a toy. Do not allow children to play with it as they  
could hurt themselves and others, damage the phone or make calls that  
increase your PCS Invoice.  
Caring for the Battery  
ProtectingYourBattery  
The guidelines listed below help you get the most out of your battery’s  
performance.  
Use only approved batteries and desktop chargers. These chargers  
are designed to maximize battery life. Using other batteries or  
chargers voids your warranty and may cause damage.  
In order to avoid damage, charge the battery only in temperatures  
that range from 32º F to 113º F (0º C to 45º C).  
Don’t use the battery charger in direct sunlight or in high humidity  
areas, such as the bathroom.  
 
27  
Never dispose of the battery by incineration.  
Keep the metal contacts on top of the battery clean.  
Don’t attempt to disassemble or short-circuit the battery.  
The battery may need recharging if it has not been used for a long  
period of time.  
It’s best to replace the battery when it no longer provides acceptable  
performance. It can be recharged hundreds of times before it needs  
replacing.  
Don’t store the battery in high temperature areas for long periods of  
time. It’s best to follow these storage rules:  
Less than one month:  
4º F to 140º F (-20º C to 60º C)  
More than one month:  
4º F to 113º F (-20º C to 45º C)  
DisposalofLithiumIon(LiIon)Batteries  
For safe disposal options of your LiIon batteries, contact your nearest  
authorized service center.  
SpecialNote:Be sure to dispose of your battery properly. In some  
areas, the disposal of batteries in household or business trash may  
be prohibited.  
For safety, do not handle a damaged or leaking LiIon battery.  
Note:  
Acknowledging Special Precautions and  
the FCC Notice  
FCC Notice  
This phone may cause TV or radio interference if used in close  
proximity to receiving equipment. The FCC can require you to  
stop using the phone if such interference cannot be eliminated.  
Vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (propane or butane) must  
comply with the National Fire Protection Standard (NFPA-58).  
For a copy of this standard, contact the National Fire Protections  
Association, One Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269,  
Attn.: Publication Sales Division.

Cautions  
Any changes or modifications to your phone not expressly approved in  
this document could void your warranty for this equipment and void  
your authority to operate this equipment. Only use approved batteries,  
antennas and chargers. The use of any unauthorized accessories may be  
dangerous and void the phone warranty if said cause damage or a defect  
to the phone.  
Although your phone is quite sturdy, it is a complex piece of equipment  
and can be broken. Avoid dropping, hitting, bending or sitting on it.  
Body-WornOperation  
To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines, if you wear a  
handset on your body, use supplied or approved carrying case, holster  
or other body-worn accessory. If you do not use a body-worn accessory,  
ensure the antenna is at least 7/16 inch (1.5 centimeters) from your  
body when transmitting. Use of non- approved accessories may violate  
FCC RF exposure guidelines.  
For more information about RF exposure, visit the FCC Website at

SpecificAbsorptionRates(SAR)forWirelessPhones  
The SAR is a value that corresponds to the relative amount of RF energy  
absorbed in the head of a user of a wireless handset.  
The SAR value of a phone is the result of an extensive testing, measuring  
and calculation process. It does not represent how much RF the phone  
emits. All phone models are tested at their highest value in strict  
laboratory settings. But when in operation, the SAR of a phone can be  
substantially less than the level reported to the FCC. This is because of a  
variety of factors including its proximity to a base station antenna,  
phone design and other factors. What is important to remember is that  
each phone meets strict federal guidelines. Variations in SARs do not  
represent a variation in safety.  
All phones must meet the federal standard, which incorporates a  
substantial margin of safety. As stated above, variations in SAR values  
between different model phones do not mean variations in safety. SAR  
values at or below the federal standard of 1.6 W/kg are considered safe  
for use by the public.  
The highest reported SAR values of the VI-5225Gare:  
PCSmode(Part24):  
Head: 0.605 W/kg; Body-worn: 0.604 W/kg  
FCCRadiofrequencyEmission  
This phone meets the FCC Radiofrequency Emission Guidelines.  
FCC ID number: BEJLX5400. More information on the phone's SAR  
values and testing can be found from the following FCC Website:
