Safety in Aircraft Explosive Atmospheres Due to the possible interference caused by this product to an aircraft’s navigation system and its communications network, using this device’s phone function on board an airplane is against the law in most countries. If you want to use this device when on board an aircraft, remember to turn off your phone by switching to airplane mode.
Full attention must be given to driving at all times in order to reduce the risk of an accident. Using a phone while driving (even with a hands-free device) causes distraction and can lead to an accident. You must comply with local laws and regulations restricting the use of wireless devices while driving. Safety Precautions for RF Exposure • Avoid using your phone near metal structures (for example, the steel frame of a building).
Nonionizing Radiation Your device has an internal antenna. This product should be operated in its normal-use position to ensure the radiative performance and safety of the interference. As with other mobile radio transmitting equipment, users are advised that for satisfactory operation of the equipment and for the safety of personnel, it is recommended that no part of the human body be allowed to come too close to the antenna during operation of the equipment. Use only the supplied integral antenna.
General Precautions You alone are responsible for how you use your device and any consequences of its use. You must always switch off your phone wherever the use of a phone is prohibited. Use of your phone is subject to safety measures designed to protect users and their environment. • Avoid applying excessive pressure to the device. Do not apply excessive pressure on the screen and the device to prevent damaging them and remove the device from your pants’ pocket before sitting down.
• Protect your device. ▪ Always treat your device and its accessories with care and keep them in a clean and dustfree place. ▪ Do not expose your device or its accessories to open flames or lit tobacco products. ▪ Do not expose your device or its accessories to liquid, moisture or high humidity. ▪ Do not drop, throw or try to bend your device or its accessories. ▪ Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or aerosols to clean the device or its accessories. ▪ Do not paint your device or its accessories.

Additional Safety Information Do Not Use the PC Functions of Your Device While Driving or Walking Never use the personal computer functions of your device while driving an automobile or any other moving vehicle. Always pull out of traffic and come to a stop in a legally permissible and safe location before using your device. Failure to do so could result in serious bodily injury in a traffic accident.
Using The Phone While Driving Is Extremely Dangerous When Using Your Device Near Other Electronic Devices Talking on or using your device 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. If you must use the phone function while driving, please: • Give full attention to driving. Driving safely is your first responsibility.
Turn Off Your Device Before Flying Aircraft FCC regulations prohibit using the transmitting and phone functions of your device while in the air. In addition, most airline regulations prohibit the on-board use of portable PCs (and all other portable electronic devices that could potentially emit stray RF energy), particularly during take-offs and landings, to prevent any possible interference with the reception of signals by airborne electronic navigational devices.
Turn Off Your Device in Dangerous Areas Blasting Areas To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your device OFF when in a “blasting area” or in areas posted “Turn off two-way radio.” Obey all signs and instructions. Potentially Explosive Atmospheres Turn your device 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.
Antenna Safety Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could impair call quality, damage your device, or result in violation of FCC regulations. Please contact your local dealer for replacement antenna. Do not use the device 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.
• Try to keep batteries at a temperature between 41°F (5°C) and 95°F (35°C). • If the battery is stored in temperatures above or below the recommended range, give it time to warm up or cool down before using. • Completely drain the battery before recharging. It may take one to four days to completely drain. • Store the discharged battery in a cool, dark, and dry place. • Purchase a new battery when its operating time gradually decreases after fully charging.
Use the Correct External Power Source A product should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the electrical ratings label. If you are not sure of the type of power source required, consult your authorized service provider or local power company. For a product that operates from battery power or other sources, refer to the operating instructions that are included with the product.

FCC Hearing-Aid Compatibility (HAC) Regulations for Wireless Devices On July 10, 2003, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Report and Order in WT Docket 01- 309 modified the exception of wireless phones under the Hearing Aid Compatibility Act of 1988 (HAC Act) to require digital wireless phones be compatible with hearing-aids. The intent of the HAC Act is to ensure reasonable access to telecommunications services for persons with hearing disabilities.
The hearing aid and wireless phone rating values are then added together. A sum of 5 is considered acceptable for normal use. A sum of 6 is considered for better use. A sum of 8 is considered for best use. In the above example, if a hearing aid meets the M2 level rating and the wireless phone meets the M3 level rating, the sum of the two values equal M5. This should provide the hearing aid user with “normal usage” while using their hearing aid with the particular wireless phone.

Telecommunications & Internet Association (TIA) Safety Information Body-worn Operation Pacemakers This device was tested for typical body-worn operations. To comply with RF exposure requirements, a minimum separation distance of 1 cm must be maintained between the user’s body and the handset, including the antenna.
WEEE Notice 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. The Directive on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), which entered into force as European law on 13th February 2003, resulted in a major change in the treatment of electrical equipment at end-of-life.
The WEEE logo (shown at the left) on the product or on its box indicates that this product must not be disposed of or dumped with your other household waste. You are liable to dispose of all your electronic or electrical waste equipment by relocating over to the specified collection point for recycling of such hazardous waste. Isolated collection and proper recovery of your electronic and electrical waste equipment at the time of disposal will allow us to help conserving natural resources.
