Maintaining Safe Use of
and Access to Your
Phone
Do Not Rely on Your Phone for
Emergency Calls
Mobile phones operate using radio signals,
which cannot guarantee connection in all
conditions. Therefore you should never rely
solely upon any mobile phone for essential
communication (e.g., 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.
Following Safety Guidelines
To operate your phone safely and efficiently,
always follow any special regulations in a
Important Safety Information 63
given area. 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.
Persons with implantable medical devices:
● Should always keep the mobile phone
more than six (6) inches from the
implantable medical device when the
mobile phone is turned ON.
● Should not carry the mobile phone in the
breast pocket.
● Should use the ear opposite the
implantable medical device to minimize
the potential for interference.
● Should turn OFF the mobile phone
immediately if you have any reason to
suspect that interference is taking place.
Using Your Phone Near Other
Electronic Devices
Most modern electronic equipment is
shielded from radio frequency (RF) signals.
However, RF signals from wireless phones
may affect inadequately shielded electronic
equipment.
RF signals may affect improperly installed
or inadequately shielded electronic
operating systems or entertainment
systems in motor vehicles. Check with the
manufacturer or their representative to
determine if these systems are adequately
shielded from external RF signals. Also
check with the manufacturer regarding any
equipment that has been added to your
vehicle.
Consult the manufacturer of any personal
medical devices, such as pacemakers and
hearing aids, to determine if they are
adequately shielded from external RF
signals.
Note: Always turn off the phone in
healthcare facilities, and request
permission before using the phone near
medical equipment.
Using Your Phone On Airplanes
On airplanes, follow applicable airline
regulations and always follow the flight
crew’s instructions concerning the use of
your 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.
Sparks can cause an explosion or fire,
resulting in bodily injury or even death.
These areas are often, but not always,
clearly marked. They include:
● Fueling areas such as gas stations.
● Below deck on boats.
● Fuel or chemical transfer or storage
facilities.
● Areas where the air contains chemicals
or particles such as grain, dust, or metal
powders.
● Any other area where you would
normally be advised to turn off your
vehicle’s engine.
Note: Never transport or store
flammable gas, flammable liquids, or
explosives in the compartment of your
vehicle that contains your phone or
accessories.
Restricting Children’s Access
to Your Phone
Your phone is not a toy. Do not allow
children to play with it as they could hurt
themselves and others, damage the phone
or could potentially cost you money.
Waterproof Capability
Your CD8100 is waterproof and meets
IPX5 and IPX7 standards, immersible for
up to 30 minutes at a depth not exceeding
one meter (about 3.28 feet). Exposing your
phone to water outside these limits or not
following the precautions can result in water
damage.
To ensure that your phone maintains
waterproof capability, the following
precautions must be observed.
● Make sure the SIM/microSD card holder
cover and back cover are properly
sealed by squeezing around the edges
of the cover. The charger/USB port does
not have covers because they are
waterproof.
● Do not spray or immerse your phone in
liquids other than fresh water or tap
water.
● Do not expose your phone to water
heated in excess of 104°F (40°C), or to
liquids other than water, such as
detergent, beverages, or chlorinated or
treated water. Should your phone be
accidentally exposed to other liquids,
rinse the phone gently in clean fresh
water.
● Your phone is inoperable under water
and should be dried as quickly as
possible when wet.
● Do not use the charger/USB port for
charging, data transmission, etc. until
the phone is completely dry.
