Important Safety Information ♦ General Precautions (page 22) ● Speak directly into the mouthpiece. ♦ Maintaining Safe Use of and Access to Your Phone (page 23) ● 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.
Maintaining Safe Use of and Access to Your Phone Do Not Rely on Your Phone for Emergency Calls Mobile phones operate using radio signals, which cannot guarantee connection in all conditions. Therefore you should never rely solely upon any mobile phone for essential communication (e.g., medical emergencies). Emergency calls may not be possible on all cellular networks or when certain network services or mobile phone features are in use. Check with your local service provider for details.
Turning Off Your Phone Before Flying Turn off your phone before boarding any aircraft. To prevent possible interference with aircraft systems, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations require you to have permission from a crew member to use your phone while the plane is on the ground. To prevent any risk of interference, FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while the plane is in the air.
Using Your Phone With a Hearing Aid Device A number of Virgin Mobile phones have been tested for hearing aid device compatibility. When some wireless phones are used with certain hearing devices (including hearing aids and cochlear implants), users may detect a noise which can interfere with the effectiveness of the hearing device. Some hearing devices are more immune than others to this interference noise, and phones also vary in the amount of interference noise they may generate. ANSI standard C63.
questions about return or exchange policies, consult your service provider or phone retailer. Hearing aid devices may also be measured for immunity to interference noise from wireless phones and should have ratings similar to phones. Ask your hearing healthcare professional for the rating of your hearing aid. Add the rating of your hearing aid and your phone to determine probable usability: ● Any combined rating equal to or greater than six offers excellent use.
Protecting Your Battery ● 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. The guidelines listed below help you get the most out of your battery’s performance. ● Improper battery use may result in a fire, explosion or other hazard. ● Recently there have been some public reports of wireless phone batteries overheating, catching fire, or exploding.
Storing ● Don’t store the battery in high temperature areas for long periods of time. It’s best to follow these storage rules: ▪ Less than one month: -4° F to 140° F (-20° C to 60° C) ▪ More than one month: -4° F to 113° F (-20° C to 45° C) Disposal of Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) Batteries ● Promptly dispose of used batteries in accordance with local regulations. ● Never dispose of the battery by incineration. ● Do not handle a damaged or leaking Li-Ion battery as you can be burned.
