Section 4 Safety and Warranty Information
4A. Important Safety Information ⽧ General Precautions (page 130) ⽧ Maintaining Safe Use of and Access to Your Phone (page 131) ⽧ Using Your Phone With a Hearing Aid Device General Precautions There are several simple guidelines to operating your phone properly and maintaining safe, satisfactory service. 䢇 To maximize performance, do not touch the bottom portion of your phone where the internal antenna is located while using the phone. 䢇 Speak directly into the mouthpiece.
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.
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’re in any area that has a potentially explosive atmosphere. Although it’s rare, your phone and accessories could generate sparks.
䢇 䢇 Any combined rating equal to or greater than six offers excellent use. Getting the Best Hearing Device Experience With Your Phone To further minimize interference: 䢇 Set the phone’s display and keypad backlight settings to ensure the minimum time interval: 1. Press > Settings > Display > Main Screen > Backlight. 2. Highlight the minimum time interval setting and press . 䢇 Position the phone so the internal antenna is farthest from your hearing aid.
Caring for the Battery 䢇 Replace the battery only with another battery that has been qualified with the system per IEEE-Std-1725-2006. Use of an unqualified battery may present a risk of fire, explosion, leakage or other hazard. 䢇 Promptly dispose of used batteries in accordance with local regulations. 䢇 Battery usage by children should be supervised. 䢇 Avoid dropping the phone or battery.
Protecting Your Battery 䢇 Never dispose of the battery by incineration. The guidelines listed below help you get the most out of your battery’s performance. 䢇 Keep the metal contacts on top of the battery clean. 䢇 Don’t attempt to disassemble or short-circuit the battery. 䢇 The battery may need recharging if it has not been used for a long period of time. 䢇 It’s best to replace the battery when it no longer provides acceptable performance.
Disposal of Lithium Ion Polymer (Li-poly) Batteries Knowing Radio Frequency Safety Do not handle a damaged or leaking Li-poly battery as you can be burned. The design of your phone complies with updated NCRP standards described below. For safe disposal options of your Li-poly batteries, contact your nearest Sprint authorized service center.
