Sony CM-B1200 Operating Instructions Manual page 6

Efficient phone operation
For your phone to operate at the
lowest power level consistent with
satisfactory call quality, please
observe the following guidelines:
Your phone has an extendable
antenna; extend it fully whenever
possible for maximum efficiency.
Hold the phone as you would any
other telephone. While speaking
directly into the mouthpiece,
position the antenna up and over
your shoulder.
Do not hold the antenna when the
phone is in use. Holding the
antenna affects call quality and
may cause the phone to operate at
a higher power level than needed.
Heat and sunlight
exposure
Avoid leaving your cellular/PCS
phone exposed to direct sunlight or
extreme heat. Extended exposure
to heat and sunlight may damage
the components of your cellular/
PCS phone.
Antenna care and
replacement
Do not use the phone with a
damaged antenna. If a damaged
antenna comes into contact with
the skin, a minor burn may result.
Replace a damaged antenna
immediately. Take your phone to
an authorized service center for
repair.

B2200 01-09draft3
Use only the supplied or approved
antenna. Unauthorized antennas,
modifications, or attachments
could impair call quality, damage
the phone, and violate FCC
regulations.
Driving
Check the laws and regulations on
the use of cellular/PCS telephones
in the areas where you drive.
Always obey them. Also, when
using your phone while driving,
please:
• pay full attention to driving;
• use hands-free operation, if
available;
• pull off the road and park before
making or answering a call, if
driving conditions so require.
Electronic devices
Most modern electronic equipment
is shielded from RF energy.
However, RF energy from cellular/
PCS telephones may affect some
electronic equipment.
RF energy may affect improperly
installed or inadequately shielded
electronic operating and
entertainment systems in motor
vehicles. Check with the
manufacturer or its representative
to determine if these systems are
adequately shielded from external
RF energy. You should also check
with the manufacturer of any
equipment that has been added to
your vehicle.
