Section 4A Safety Safety In This Section ⽧ Getting the Most Out of Your Reception ⽧ Maintaining Safe Use of and Access to Your Phone ⽧ Using Your Phone With a Hearing Aid Device ⽧ Caring for the Battery ⽧ Acknowledging Special Precautions and the FCC Notice ⽧ Owner’s Record ⽧ Phone Guide Proprietary Notice Part of getting the most out of your Sprint PCS Phone is learning how the phone works and how to care for it.
Getting the Most Out of Your Reception Keeping Tabs on Signal Strength The quality of each call you make or receive depends on the signal strength in your area. Your phone informs you of the current signal strength by displaying a number of bars next to the signal strength icon. The more bars displayed, the stronger the signal. If you’re inside a building, being near a window may give you better reception.
Maintaining Your Phone’s Peak Performance 䢇 Hold the phone with the antenna raised, fully-extended, and over your shoulder. 䢇 Try not to hold, bend, or twist the phone’s antenna. 䢇 Don’t use the phone if the antenna is damaged. 䢇 Speak directly into the mouthpiece. 䢇 Avoid exposing your phone and accessories to rain or liquid spills. If your phone does get wet, immediately turn the power off and remove the battery.
Using Your Phone Near Other Electronic Devices Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from radiofrequency (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 and/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.
Areas where the air contains chemicals or particles such as grain, dust, or metal powders. 䢇 Any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle’s engine. Note: Never transport or store flammable gas, liquid or explosives in the compartment of your vehicle that contains your phone or accessories.

Thus, if you pair an M3 hearing aid with an M3 phone, you will have a combined rating of six for “best use.
Caring for the Battery Safety Protecting Your Battery The guidelines listed below help you get the most out of your battery’s performance. 䢇 Use only Sprint-approved batteries and desktop chargers. These chargers are designed to maximize battery life. Using other batteries or chargers voids your warranty and may cause damage. 䢇 In order to avoid damage, charge the battery only in temperatures that range from 32° F to 113° F (0° C to 45° C).
Acknowledging Special Precautions and the FCC Notice FCC Notice This phone may cause TV or radio interference if used in close proximity to receiving equipment. The FCC can require you to stop using the phone if such interference cannot be eliminated. Vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (propane or butane) must comply with the National Fire Protection Standard (NFPA-58). For a copy of this standard, contact the National Fire Protections Association, One Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269, Attn.
Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) for Wireless Phones 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. But when in operation, the SAR of a phone can be substantially less than the level reported to the FCC. This is because of a variety of factors including its proximity to a base station antenna, phone design and other factors.
