Safety Information Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) Your O2 Xda Zest has been designed, manufactured and tested not to exceed the limits for exposure to electromagnetic fields recommended by the Council of the European Union. These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines developed by independent scientific organisations.
As with all other radio devices, touching the built-in antenna area during telephone conversation may impair the quality and lead to shorter standby time due to increased power consumption. The battery Your Xda is equipped with a high-performance Li-Ion battery. Optional battery types may be available; check with your local retailer. Observe the maintenance guidelines and your battery should give you a long service life.
• N ever dispose of the battery with your regular household waste. Take it to a hazardous material collection point. • Do not touch the battery terminals. WARNING! There is a risk of explosion if the battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions. The charger • Use only the charger supplied with your Xda. • Never pull the charger cord to release it from the mains – pull the charger itself.
Cleaning and storing • Y our Xda should always be handled with care and protected from dirt, dust and dampness. To avoid scratches, never place your Xda face down. • I f cleaning is necessary, switch the Xda off and wipe carefully with a soft, slightly damp (not wet) cloth. Use a cotton swab to clean the camera lens. Allow the Xda to dry completely before switching it on. Never use solvents for cleaning. • Never expose your Xda to moisture or liquids of any kind.
Electronic devices Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF energy. However, certain electronic equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals from your Pocket PC phone. Pacemakers To avoid potential interference, the Health Industry Manufacturers’ Association recommends that a minimum separation of six (6”) inches be maintained between a phone and a pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with the independent research by and recommendations of Wireless Technology Research.
Turn your phone off in healthcare facilities when any regulations posted in these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or healthcare facilities may be using equipment that could be sensitive to external RF energy. Vehicles RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or its representative regarding your vehicle. You should also consult the manufacturer of any equipment added to your vehicle.
Blasting areas To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn off your Xda when in a ‘blasting area’ or in areas posted: ‘Turn off two-way radio.’ Obey all signs and instructions. Potentially explosive environments Turn off your Xda when in any area with a potentially explosive environment and obey all signs and instructions. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.
• D o not abuse the equipment. Avoid striking, shaking or giving it a shock. When not using the unit, lay it down to avoid possible damage due to instability. • Do not expose this equipment to rain or spilled beverages. • Do not use unauthorised accessories. • D o not disassemble the Xda or its accessories.
