Section 4A Important Safety Information In This Section General Precautions 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 Radiofrequency (RF) Energy ⽧ Owner’s Record ⽧ Phone Guide Proprietary Notice This phone guide contains important operational and safety information that will help you safely use your phone.
General Precautions There are several simple guidelines to operating your phone properly and 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. 䢇 Although your phone 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 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 and/or mobile phone features are in use. Check with your local service provider for details.
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. 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.
Using Your Phone With a Hearing Aid Device Your phone 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. Some hearing devices are more immune than others to this interference noise, and phones also vary in the amount of interference they generate.
Getting the Best Hearing Device Experience With Your Phone To further minimize interference: 䢇 There is usually less interference on the microphone setting than the telecoil setting. 䢇 Set the phone’s Display and Keypad backlight settings to ensure the minimum time interval: 1. Press Menu > Settings > Display > Backlight. 2. Select Main Display or Keypad and press . 3. 䢇 䢇 䢇 230 Select the minimum time setting (8 seconds) and press . Use phones with a pull-out antenna.
Caring for the Battery Protecting Your Battery Important Safety Information The guidelines listed below 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.
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 radio frequency (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 phone complies with updated NCRP standards described below.
Specific Absorption Rates (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.
