Important Safety Information In This Section ⽧ General Precautions ⽧ Maintaining Safe Use of and Access to Your Device ⽧ Using Your Phone With a Hearing Aid Device ⽧ TTY Use With Sprint Service ⽧ Caring for the Battery ⽧ Radiofrequency (RF) Energy ⽧ Static Electricity, ESD, and Your Device ⽧ Owner’s Record ⽧ User’s Guide Proprietary Notice This guide contains important operational and safety information that will help you safely use your Treo™ 755P Smart Device by Palm.
General Precautions There are several simple guidelines to operating your device properly and maintaining safe, satisfactory service. 䢇 Speak directly into the microphone. 䢇 Avoid exposing your device and accessories to rain or liquid spills. If your device does get wet, immediately turn the power off and remove the battery. 䢇 Although your device is quite sturdy, it is a complex piece of equipment and can be broken. Avoid dropping, hitting, bending, or sitting on it.
Maintaining Safe Use of and Access to Your Device Do Not Rely on Your Device’s Phone for Emergency Calls Wireless phones such as the one on your Treo device operate using radio signals, which cannot guarantee connection in all conditions. Therefore you should never rely solely upon any wireless phone for essential communication (for example, medical emergencies). Emergency calls may not be possible on all cellular networks or when certain network services and/or phone features are in use.
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 health care facilities and request permission before using the phone near medical equipment. Turning Off Your Phone Before Flying Turn off your phone before boarding any aircraft.
Note: Never transport or store flammable gas, flammable liquid, or explosives in the compartment of your vehicle that contains your phone or accessories. Restricting Children’s Access to Your Device Your Treo device is not a toy. Do not allow children to play with it, because they could hurt themselves and others, damage the device and/or its phone, or make calls that increase your Sprint invoice.
Using Your Phone With a Hearing Aid Device Your Treo device is compliant with the FCC Hearing Aid Compatibility (HAC) requirements. For additional HAC information, including the HAC rating of this product, please refer to www.palm.com/treoHAC. Your device has been tested for hearing aid device compatibility. When some wireless phones are used near some hearing devices (hearing aids and cochlear implants), users may detect a buzzing, humming, or whining noise.
hearing aid. Add the rating of your hearing aid and your phone to determine probable usability: 䢇 Any combined rating equal to or greater than six offers best use. 䢇 Any combined rating equal to five is considered normal use. 䢇 Any combined rating equal to four is considered usable. Thus, if you pair an M3 hearing aid with an M3 phone, you will have a combined rating of six for “best use.” This is synonymous for T ratings.
Caution: Do not turn on the HAC setting unless you use a hearing aid with a telecoil. Using this setting without a hearing aid or with a hearing aid without a telecoil may be harmful to your hearing. 1. Make sure your phone is turned on (see “Turning Your Device’s Phone On and Off” on page 17). 2. Press Phone 3. Press Menu . . 4. Select Options and then select Phone Preferences. 5. Check the Hearing Aid Compatibility box. 6. Select OK.
TTY Use With Sprint Service A TTY (also known as a TDD or Text Telephone) is a telecommunications device that allows people who are deaf or hard of hearing, or who have speech or language disabilities, to communicate by telephone. Your device is compatible with select TTY devices. You can connect a TTY/TDD machine, headset, or hands-free kit to your device through the headset jack while this mode is enabled.
Selecting a TTY Setting on your Device 1. Make sure your phone is turned on (see “Turning Your Device’s Phone On and Off” on page 17). 2. Press Phone 3. Press Menu . . 4. Select Options and then select Phone Preferences. 5. Check the TTY/TDD pick list and select one of the following: 䡲 Default Mode sends and receives text. 䡲 VCO Mode (Voice Carry Over) sends voice and receives text. 䡲 HCO Mode (Hearing Carry Over) sends text and receives voice. 6. Select OK.
Caring for the Battery Protecting Your Battery Safety 109 Safety The guidelines listed here help you get the most out of your battery’s performance. 䢇 Recently there have been some public reports of wireless phone batteries overheating, catching fire, or exploding. It appears that many, if not all, of these reports involve counterfeit or inexpensive, aftermarket-brand batteries with unknown or questionable manufacturing standards.
䢇 Don’t store the battery in high temperature areas for long periods of time. It’s best to follow these storage rules: 䡲 Less than one month: -4° F to 140° F (-20° C to 60° C) 䡲 More than one month: -4° F to 113° F (-20° C to 45° C) Disposal of Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) Batteries Do not handle a damaged or leaking li-ion battery; you can be burned. For safe disposal options of your li-ion batteries, contact your nearest Sprint authorized service center.
Radiofrequency (RF) Energy Understanding How Your Phone Operates Your phone is basically a radio transmitter and receiver. When it’s turned on, it receives and transmits radiofrequency (RF) signals. When you use your phone, the system handling your call controls the power level. This power can range from 0.006 watts to 0.2 watts in digital mode. Knowing Radiofrequency Safety The design of your Treo device complies with updated NCRP standards described below.
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) for Wireless Phones The SAR is a value that corresponds to the relative amount of RF energy absorbed in 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. It does not represent how much RF the phone emits. All phone models are tested at their highest value in strict laboratory settings.
FCC Radiofrequency Emission This phone meets the FCC Radiofrequency Emission Guidelines and is certified with the FCC as: FCC ID number: 08F-895. More information on the phone’s SAR can be found from the following FCC Web site: https://gullfoss2.fcc.gov/prod/oet/cf/eas/reports/GenericSearch.cfm.
Static Electricity, ESD, and Your Device Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause damage to electronic devices if discharged into the device, so you should take steps to avoid such an occurrence. Description of ESD Static electricity is an electrical charge caused by the buildup of excess electrons on the surface of a material. To most people, static electricity and ESD are nothing more than annoyances.
to your computer, placing the device in a cradle, or connecting it to any other device. You can do this in many ways, including the following: 䢇 Ground yourself when you’re holding your device by simultaneously touching a metal surface that is at earth ground. For example, if your computer has a metal case and is plugged into a standard three-prong grounded outlet, touching the case should discharge the ESD on your body. 䢇 Increase the relative humidity of your environment.
