Phone Operation
Normal Operation
For the most efficient and comfortable use the phone as you would any other
telephone, with the antenna pointed up and over your shoulder.
Tips on Efficient Operation
For your phone to operate most efficiently:
• Extend your antenna fully (if applicable).
• Do not touch the antenna unnecessarily when the phone is in use. Contact
with the antenna affects call quality and may cause the phone to operate at a
higher power level than otherwise needed.
Batteries
All batteries can cause property damage, injury or burns if a conductive
material such as jewelry, keys or beaded chains touches exposed terminals.
Exercise care in handling any charged battery, particularly when placing it
inside your pocket, purse or other container with metal objects. When the
battery is detached from the phone, your batteries are packed with a protective
battery cover; please use this cover for storing your batteries when not in use.
Never throw a battery into a fire because it may explode. Since a leaking
battery may corrode the telephone you need to replace it immediately with the
same or equivalent type battery recommended by the manufacturer;
otherwise, you risk damaging the phone, the charger or battery.
Driving
Check the laws and regulations on the use of wireless telephones in the areas
where you drive and always obey them. Also, if using your phone while
driving, please:
• give full attention to driving - driving safely is your first responsibility
• use hands-free operation, if available
• pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving
conditions so require
