Turn your phone off in areas where use is forbidden or when it may cause interference or danger. Medical Devices If you have a medical device, including an implantable medical device such as a pacemaker or defibrillator, consult your healthcare provider and the device manufacturer’s directions before using this mobile phone.
Turning Off Your Phone in Dangerous Areas To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your phone off when in a blasting area or in other areas with signs indicating two-way radios should be turned off. Construction crews often use remote-control RF devices to set off explosives. Turn your phone off when you are in any area that has a potentially explosive atmosphere. Although it’s rare, your phone and accessories could generate sparks.
● The touch panel and touch keys will not operate when the phone is wet. ● Your phone is inoperable under water and should be dried as quickly as possible when wet. ● Do not use the charger/accessory jack for charging, data transmission, etc. until the phone is completely dry. If your phone gets wet: Water lodged in the headset jack may cause the phone to falsely detect an inserted headset (in which case the loudspeaker and/or earpiece audio will be disabled) until the water is removed.
Ratings have been developed for mobile phones to assist hearing device users in finding phones that may be compatible with their hearing device. Not all phones have been rated for compatibility with hearing devices. Phones that have been rated have a label located on the box. Your Hydro XTRM has an M3 and a T3 rating. These ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary depending on the user’s hearing device and the individual’s type and degree of hearing loss.
Getting the Best Hearing Device Experience With Your Phone To further minimize interference, move the phone around to find the point with least interference. Caring for the Battery Protecting Your Battery The guidelines listed below help you get the most out of your battery’s performance. ● Recently there have been some public reports of wireless phone batteries overheating, catching fire, or exploding.
● 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. ● Replace the battery only with another qualified battery. Use of an unqualified battery may present a risk of fire, explosion, leakage, or other hazard. If you are unsure about whether a replacement battery is compatible, contact customer support. Storing ● Don’t store the battery in high temperature areas for long periods of time.
Radio Frequency (RF) Energy Understanding How Your Phone Operates Your phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. When it’s turned on, it receives and transmits radio frequency (RF) signals. Your phone is designed to transmit just enough RF power to reach the network. The system handling your call controls the RF power level. Depending on network conditions, your phone may operate at an actual SAR level below the maximum value specified.
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 Hydro XTRM are: Head: 1.
● Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. ● Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. ● Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. Owner’s Record The model number, regulatory number, and serial number are located on a nameplate inside the battery compartment. Record the serial number in the space provided below.
