IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION This booklet contains important operational and safety information that will help you safely use your phone. Failure to read and follow the information provided in this booklet may result in serious bodily injury, death, or property damage. General Precautions There are several simple guidelines to operating your phone properly and maintaining safe, satisfactory service.
medical emergencies). Emergency calls may not be possible on all cellular networks or when certain network services or mobile phone features are in use. Check with your local service provider for details. Using Your Phone While Driving 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.
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. 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.
To ensure that your phone maintains waterproof capability, the following precautions must be observed. ++ Make sure the battery cover is properly sealed by squeezing around the edges of the cover. The charger/ accessory jack and headset jack ports do not have covers because they are waterproof. ++ Do not spray or immerse your phone in liquids other than fresh water or tap water.
4. Repeat the process until the phone is completely dry. Charging ++ Dry your phone with a clean cloth before charging. ++ Do not touch the charger, charging cable, or charger/ accessory jack with wet hands. Doing so may cause electric shock, injury, or product failure. Some hearing devices are more immune than others to this interference noise, and phones also vary in the amount of interference noise they may generate. ANSI standard C63.
Trying out the phone with your hearing device is the best way to evaluate it for your personal needs. M-Ratings: Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements for hearing aid compatibility and are likely to generate less interference to hearing devices than unrated phones. (M4 is the better/higher of the two ratings.) T-Ratings: Phones rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to be more usable with a hearing device’s telecoil (“T Switch” or “Telephone Switch”) than unrated phones.
It is further suggested you experiment with multiple phones (even those not labeled M3/T3 or M4/ T4) while in the store to find the one that works best with your hearing aid device. Should you experience interference or find the quality of service unsatisfactory after purchasing your phone, promptly return it to the store. More information about hearing aid compatibility may be found at: fcc.gov, fda.gov, and accesswireless.org.
++ Improper battery use may result in a fire, explosion or other hazard. ++ Do not short-circuit a battery or allow metallic conductive objects to contact battery terminals. Storing ++ Don’t store the battery in high temperature areas for long periods of time. It’s best to follow these storage rules: ++ Keep the metal contacts on top of the battery clean. ▪▪Less than one month: -4° F to 140° F (-20° C to 60° C) ++ Battery usage by children should be supervised.
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.
metallic components and must provide at least 0.39 inches (1.0 centimeter) separation distance between the antennas and the user’s body. For more information about RF exposure, visit the FCC website at fcc.gov. Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) for Wireless Phones The SAR value corresponds to the relative amount of RF energy absorbed into 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.
FCC Radio Frequency Emission This phone meets the FCC Radio Frequency Emission Guidelines. FCC ID number: V65C6730 installation.
