Important Safety Information This guide contains important operational and safety information to help you safely use your Palm® Centro™ 690. Failure to read and follow the information provided in this guide may result in serious bodily injury, death, or property damage. General Precautions FCC Notice This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Following Safety Guidelines To operate your Centro 690 safely and efficiently, always follow any special regulations in a given area. Turn your Centro 690’s phone off in areas where use is forbidden or when it may cause interference or danger. Using Your Centro 690’s 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.
The wireless telephone industry has developed ratings for some of their mobile phones, to assist hearing-device users in finding phones that may be compatible with their hearing devices. Not all phones have been rated. Phones that have been rated have a label on the box. Your Centro 690 phone has an M4 and T4 rating. These ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary, depending on the level of immunity of your hearing device and the degree of your hearing loss.
Caring for the Battery Battery Safety Information Protecting Your Battery • Do not disassemble or open, crush, bend or deform, puncture or shred. NOTE The guidelines listed below help you get the most out of your battery’s performance. • Do not modify or remanufacture, attempt to insert foreign objects into the battery, immerse or expose to water or other liquids, expose to fire, explosion or other hazard. • Only use the battery for the system for which it is specified.
Radiofrequency (RF) Energy Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) for Wireless Phones Understanding How Your Phone Operates 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. 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.
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.
