Change the battery pack only as directed in the User Manual.• Always store batteries where children cannot reach them.• Remove a spent battery promptly. When replacing the battery, use only the battery provided by Clarity. • Do not allow any battery or its holder to contact metal objects such as keys or coins.MAINTENANCE AND CAREThis phone is not customer serviceable. Do not attempt to repair or modify the phone. Doing so may result in injury or void your warranty.Product CleaningUse only a slightly damp lint-free cloth to clean the phone. Use of household cleaners, alcohol, or other chemicals may damage your mobile phone. Handling the PhoneDo not drop, disassemble, open, crush, bend, deform, puncture, shred, microwave, incinerate, paint, or insert foreign objects into the phone. Discontinue use of your phone and contact Clarity at 1-800-426-3738 if the product overheats, has a damaged cord or plug, or if the product has been damaged.Connecting AccessoriesDo not force connectors into ports. In case of experiencing unreasonable resistance when attempting to insert a connector in a port, check for compatibility, obstruction in the port, or a disfigured connector.Do not insert anything into the phone other than as directed in the user manual because this may cause damage to the internal components or cause injury to you.USE ENVIRONMENTAvoiding Water and Wet LocationsDo not use the phone in rain, or near washbasins or other wet locations. Take care not to spill any food or liquid on the phone. In case the phone gets wet, unplug all cables, turn off the phone before cleaning, and allow it to dry thor-oughly before turning it on again. Do not attempt to dry the phone with an external heat source, such as a microwave oven or hair dryer. Choking HazardNever allow children to play with the phone or accessories — small parts may be a choking hazard. Exposure to high volume sound levels may damage your hearing. Although there is no single volume setting that is appropriate for everyone, you should always use your mobile phone with the volume set at moderate levels and avoid prolonged exposure to high volume sound levels. The louder the volume, the less time is re-quired before your hearing could be affected. You may experience different sound levels when using your headset or headphones with different devices. The device you use and its settings affect the level of sound you hear. If you experi-ence hearing discomfort, you should stop listening to the device through your headset or head-phones. To protect your hearing, some hearing experts suggest that you: 1. Set the volume control in a low position before putting the head set or headphones on your ears. 2. Limit the amount of time you use headsets or headphones at high volume.3. Avoid turning up the volume to block out noisy surroundings. 4. Turn the volume down if the sound from the headset or headphones prevents you from hearing people speaking near you. Visit www.plantronics.com/ healthandsafety for more infor- mation on headsets and hearing. Exposure to Electromagnetic Energy in the Radio Frequency BandWhen turned on, this device trans-mits and receives electromagnetic radiation in the radio frequency (RF) bandwidth through its antenna. By international scientific agree-ment, the unit of measurement of (RF) energy is the “specific absorption rate,” or SAR. In the United States, the applicable SAR limit for this phone, set by the FCC is 1.60 mW/g (thousandths of watts per gram of mass), or 1.60 W/Kg (watts per kilogram of mass). The maximum SAR exposure measured for this phone was 0.738 W/Kg when the phone was turned on but not in use (body position), and 0.264 W/Kg when the phone was in use (cheek position). In all cases, the phone was passed by an independent testing facility. Disposal and RecyclingCheck and follow local laws regarding disposal and recycling of your phone and battery.LISTENING LEVEL WARNING S

Please keep these instructions for your reference. When using this product, these safety precautions and warnings should be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, injury to persons and damage to property. Additional warnings may be present on the product, packaging, or in the user instructions.Emergency Call Feature When the emergency button is pressed the emergency numbers saved in the phone’s address book will be called in the order you have selected until a party is reached. Up to five emergency numbers may be saved in the address book. The numbers and the order they will be called must be entered into the phone in order to ensure the desired numbers are dialed when the emergency button is pressed. After you have entered your five emergency numbers, you should test the phone’s emergency call feature by pressing the emergency button to ensure that you have correctly entered the numbers into the phone. Since the phone service must be purchased in advance through monthly pre-paid credits, you must ensure that you have made your pre-payment in order for the phone service to remain activated. If you do not make your monthly pre-payment or if you do not make a full monthly payment, you will lose your phone service, and the phone and the emergency call feature will not be available. You must also ensure that the phone’s battery is fully-charged at all times and that the phone is in good working condition in order for the emergency call feature to work. If the phone is outside of a cover-age area, if network service is tem-porarily suspended by the network carrier, or if there is network or phone interference, the emergency call feature will not be available during those times. This phone is not equipped with a global positioning service or other means to determine the physical location of the phone. Conse-quently, if an emergency situation arises but you are unable to provide your location to an emergency contact person in your address book, neither they nor an emer-gency response service may be able to locate you.The SIM card must be installed and activated before you will receive any phone service. If the SIM card is damaged or replaced, the emergency contact numbers you entered into the phone will be lost. In that case you must re-enter your five emergency contact numbers into the phone’s address book in order to restore the emergency call feature.After you have re-entered your five emergency numbers, you should test the phone’s emergency call feature by pressing the emergency button to ensure that you have correctly entered the numbers into the phone. RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCEPacemakersThe Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum separation of (6) inches be maintained between a handheld wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. Persons with pacemakers:• Should always keep the phone more than (6) inches from their pacemaker when the phone is turned on.• Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket.• Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for interference.If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, turn the phone off immediately.Hearing AidsThe phone may interfere with some hearing aids. If it does, con- sult the hearing aid manufacturer or your physician for alternatives or remedies.Other Medical DevicesIf you use any other personal medical device, consult the device manufacturer or your physician to determine if it is adequately shielded from external (RF) energy.COMPLIANCE WITH MOBILE PHONE USE RESTRICTIONSAir TravelMobile phone use may be prohib-ited during air travel.Posted SignsObey posted signs or notices pro-hibiting mobile phone use in certain locations, including but not limited to blasting areas, health care facili-ties and aircraft.Health Care FacilitiesTurn the phone off in health care facilities when any regulations posted in these areas instruct you to do so.
