Safety information Phone care You should never attempt to open the phone casing. There are no user-serviceable parts inside and you might damage sensitive electronic circuits and components. Unauthorized disassembly will void the warranty. You should never leave your phone in the window of your car or otherwise expose it to strong sunlight or excessive heat for a prolonged period. This may damage it. You should never handle your phone with wet hands or expose it to moisture or liquids of any kind.
• At the beginning of the battery’s life, fully charge and discharge (let it go flat) three times. • Do not overcharge the Li-Ion battery, as this can result in a reduction in battery performance and lifespan. The recommended maximum charge time is three hours. • Avoid repeated short charging. It is preferable to let the battery go flat and then recharge it completely. • Avoid charging in strong heat or extreme cold. Ambient room temperature is preferable.
The charger • Use only the charger supplied with your phone. • Never pull the charger cord to release it from the mains – pull the charger itself. WARNING! There is a risk of explosion if the battery is replaced by an incorrect type.

WARNING! Failure to follow these instructions may lead to serious personal injury and possible property damage. Driving safety Never use the handheld phones while driving.
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 Pocket PC phone. Pacemakers The Health Industry Manufacturers’ Association recommends that a minimum separation of six (6”) inches be maintained between a phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker.
Other medical devices If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of your device to determine if it is adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this information. Turn your phone off in healthcare facilities when any regulations 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.
Other Safety Guidelines Aircraft Regulations prohibit using your phone while in the air. Switch off your phone before boarding an aircraft or turn off the wireless connections. 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.
Cautions Your Pocket PC Phone is a high quality piece of equipment.
