Battery Use
Handle and store batteries properly to avoid injury or damage. Most
battery issues arise from improper handling and, particularly, from the
continued use of damaged batteries.

• Only use the battery with a charging system that has been qualified
with the system per CTIA Certification Requirements for Battery System
Compliance to IEEE 1725. Use of an unqualified battery or charger
may present a risk of fire, explosion, leakage, or other hazard.
• Do not short circuit a battery or allow metallic conductive objects to
contact battery terminals.
• Replace the battery only with another battery that has been
qualified with the system per this standard, IEEE-Std-1725. Use of an
unqualified battery may present a risk of fire, explosion, leakage or
other hazard.
• Only authorized service providers shall replace battery. (If the battery
is non-user replaceable).
• Promptly dispose of used batteries in accordance with local
regulations
• Battery usage by children should be supervised.
• Avoid dropping the phone or battery. If the phone or battery is
dropped, especially on a hard surface, and the user suspects damage,
take it to a service center for inspection.
• Improper battery use may result in a fire, explosion or other hazard.
• The maximum operating temperature is 55°C.
Note: The battery shall only be serviced by the manufacturer.
CAUTION: Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type.
Dispose of used batteries in accordance with local regulations.
Cleaning and Maintenance
The Product, the battery and the charger are not waterproof. Do not use
them in places with high humidity like a bathroom and also avoid spilling
any liquids on the Product, battery or charger. Use a soft cloth to clean
the Product, the battery and the charger. Do not use alcohol, diluted
liquid or benzene to clean the Product.

Certification Information (RoHS)
We at Orbic take our social responsibility seriously and are committed
to the cause of serving our environment. It is in keeping with these
commitments that we are proud to state that Orbic phones are RoHS
compliant.
Hearing Aid Compatibility Information
This device supports hearing aid compatibility refer to the gift box label
for the specific rating. This phone has been tested and rated for use with
hearing aids for some of the wireless technologies it uses.However, there
may be some newer technologies that have not been tested yet for use
with hearing aids.It is important to try the different features of this phone
thoroughly and in different locations, using your hearing aid or cochlear
implant, to determine if you hear any interfering noise. Ask your service
provider or the manufacturer of this phone for information on hearing
aid compatibility. When some mobile phones are used near some
hearing devices (hearing aids and cochlear implants), users may detect
a buzzing, humming, or whining noise. Some hearing devices are more
immune than others to this interference noise and phones also vary in the
amount of interference they generate.
FCC SAR Warning
This model phone meets the government’s requirements for exposure to
radio waves.
This phone is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission
limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal
Communications Commission of the U.S. Government:
The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a unit of
measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR
limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg. Tests for SAR are conducted using
standard operating positions accepted by the FCC with the phone
transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency
bands. The SAR guideline includes a considerable safety margin
designed to assure the safety of all persons regardless of age and health.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model phone
with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF
exposure guidelines. SAR information on this model phone is on file with
the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section of http://
www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching on: FCC ID: 2ABGH-R678EL or
at http://www.orbic.us/
For body worn operation, this phone has been tested and meets the FCC
RF exposure guidelines for use with an accessory that contains no metal
and positions the handset a minimum of 10 mm from the body. Use of
other enhancements may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure
guidelines. If you do not use a body-worn accessory and are not holding
the phone at the ear, position the handset a minimum of 10 mm from your
body when the phone is switched on.
Hearing Aid Compatibility Hac For
Wireless Telecommunications Devices
THIS PHONE HAS A HAC RATING OF M4/T3
WHAT IS HEARING AID COMPATIBILITY?
The Federal Communications Commission has implemented rules and
a rating system designed to enable people who wear hearing aids to
more effectively use these wireless telecommunications devices. The
standard for compatibility of digital wireless phones with hearing aids
is set forth in American National Standard Institute (ANSI) standard
C63.19. There are two sets of ANSI standards with ratings from one to
four (four being the best rating): an “M” rating for reduced interference
making it easier to hear conversations on the phone when using the
hearing aid microphone, and a “T” rating that enables the phone to be
used with hearing aids operating in the tele-coil mode thus reducing
unwanted background noise.
HOW WILL I KNOW WHICH WIRELESS PHONES
ARE HEARING AID COMPATIBLE?
The Hearing Aid Compatibility rating is displayed on the wireless phone
box. A phone is considered Hearing Aid Compatible for acoustic
coupling (microphone mode) if it has an “M3” or “M4” rating. A digital
wireless phone is considered Hearing Aid Compatible for inductive
coupling (tele-coil mode) if it has a “T3” or “T4” rating.
HOW WILL I KNOW IF MY HEARING AID WILL WORK
WITH A PARTICULAR DIGITAL WIRELESS PHONE?
Y ou’ll want to try a number of wireless phones so that you can decide
which works the best with your hearing aids. You may also want to
talk with your hearing aid professional about the extent to which your
hearing aids are immune to interference, if they have wireless phone
shielding, and whether your hearing aid has a HAC ratio.
FCC Statement
This Product complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject
to the following three conditions:
(1) This Product may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) This Product must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation.
(3) Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to
operate the equipment.
NOTE 1:
This Product has been tested and found to comply with the limits for
a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These
limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation. This Product generates uses and
can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will
not occur in a particular installation. If this Product does cause harmful
interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by
turning the Product off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• 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.
• To view device FCC ID on a device look at the label in the battery
compartment, for devices without a battery door there is a E-label
information available by selecting: Settings > About phone
NOTE 2:
Orbic or the manufacturer is not responsible for any radio or TV
interference caused by unauthorized modifications to the Product. Such
modifications could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
Data transmission is always initiated by software, which is then passed
down through the MAC, through the digital and analog baseband, and
finally to the RF chip. Several special packets are initiated by the MAC.
These are the only ways the digital baseband portion will turn on the RF
transmitter, which it then turns off at the end of the packet. Therefore, the
transmitter will be on only while one of the aforementioned packets is
being transmitted. In other words, this device automatically discontinues
transmission in case of either absence of information to transmit or
operational failure.
