may be dangerous and void your warranty.
2 Important Safety Information
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.
Using Your Phone While Driving
Talking on your phone while driving (or operating the
phone without a hands-free device) is prohibited in
some jurisdictions. Laws vary as to specific
restrictions. Remember that safety always comes
first.
Following Safety Guidelines
To operate your phone safely and efficiently, always
follow any special regulations in a given area. Turn
your phone off in areas where use is forbidden or
when it may cause interference or danger.
Important Safety Information 3
Medical Devices
If you have a medical device, including an
implantable medical device such as a pacemaker or
defibrillator, consult your healthcare provider and the
device manufacturer’s directions before using this
mobile phone.
Persons with implantable medical devices:
●Should always keep the mobile phone more than
six (6) inches from the implantable medical device
when the mobile phone is turned ON.
●Should not carry the mobile phone in the breast
pocket.
●Should use the ear opposite the implantable
medical device to minimize the potential for
interference.
●Should turn OFF the mobile phone immediately if
you have any reason to suspect that interference
is taking place.
Using Your Phone Near Other
Electronic Devices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from
radio frequency (RF) signals. However, RF signals
from wireless phones may affect inadequately
shielded electronic equipment.
RF signals may affect improperly installed or
inadequately shielded electronic operating systems or
entertainment systems in motor vehicles. Check with
4 Important Safety Information
the manufacturer or their representative to determine if
these systems are adequately shielded from external
RF signals. Also check with the manufacturer regarding
any equipment that has been added to your vehicle.
Consult the manufacturer of any personal medical
devices, such as pacemakers and hearing aids, to
determine if they are adequately shielded from
external RF signals.
Note: Always turn off the phone in healthcare
facilities, and request permission before
using the phone near medical equipment.
Using Your Phone On Airplanes
On airplanes, follow applicable airline regulations
and always follow the flight crew’s instructions
concerning the use of your phone.
Turning Off Your Phone in Dangerous
Areas
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn
your phone off when in a blasting area or in other
areas with signs indicating two-way radios should be
turned off. Construction crews often use remote-
control RF devices to set off explosives.
Turn your phone off when you’re in any area that has
a potentially explosive atmosphere. Although it’s rare,
your phone and accessories could generate sparks.
Sparks can cause an explosion or fire, resulting in
bodily injury or even death. These areas are often,
but not always, clearly marked. They include:
Important Safety Information 5
●Fueling areas such as gas stations
●Below deck on boats
●Fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities
●Areas where the air contains chemicals or
particles such as grain, dust, or metal powders
●Any other area where you would normally be
advised to turn off your vehicle’s engine
Note: Never transport or store flammable gas,
flammable liquids, or explosives in the
compartment of your vehicle that contains
your phone or accessories.
Restricting Children’s Access to Your
Phone
Your phone is not a toy. Do not allow children to play
with it as they could hurt themselves and others,
damage the phone, or make calls that increase your
invoice.
Using Your Phone With a Hearing
Aid Device
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
6 Important Safety Information
amount of interference noise they may generate.
ANSI standard C63.19 was developed to provide a
standardized means of measuring both wireless
phone and hearing devices to determine usability
rating categories for both.
Ratings have been developed for mobile phones to
assist hearing device users in finding phones that
may be compatible with their hearing device. Not all
phones have been rated for compatibility with
hearing devices. Phones that have been rated have a
label located on the box. Your phone has an M4 and
a T4 rating.
These ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary
depending on the user’s hearing device and the
individual’s type and degree of hearing loss. If a
hearing device is particularly vulnerable to
interference noise, even a phone with a higher rating
may still cause unacceptable noise levels in the
hearing device. Trying out the phone with your
hearing device is the best way to evaluate it for your
personal needs.
M-Ratings: Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC
requirements for hearing aid compatibility and are
likely to generate less interference to hearing devices
than unrated phones. (M4 is the better/higher of the
two ratings.)
T-Ratings: Phones rated T3 or T4 meet FCC
requirements and are likely to be more usable with a
hearing device’s telecoil (“T Switch” or “Telephone
Switch”) than unrated phones. (T4 is the better/
higher of the two ratings. Note that not all hearing
devices have telecoils in them.)
Important Safety Information 7
Note: This phone has been tested and rated for use
with hearing aids for some of the wireless
technologies that it uses. However, there may be
some newer wireless technologies used in this
phone that have not been tested yet for use
with hearing aids. It is important to try the
different features of this phone thoroughly
and in different locations, using your hearing
aid or cochlear implant, to determine if you
hear any interfering noise. Consult your
service provider or the manufacturer of this
phone for information on hearing aid
compatibility. If you have 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.
●Any combined rating equal to five is considered
normal use.
●Any combined rating equal to four is considered
usable.
Thus, if you pair an M3 hearing aid with an M3
phone, you will have a combined rating of six for
“excellent use.” This is synonymous for T ratings.

Getting the Best Hearing Device
Experience With Your Phone
To further minimize interference, move the phone
around to find the point with the least interference.
Caring for the Battery
Protecting Your Battery
The guidelines listed below help you get the most
out of your battery’s performance:
●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. Use only
manufacturer-approved batteries and accessories.
Buying the right batteries and accessories is the
best way to ensure they’re genuine and safe.
●Do not disassemble or open, crush, bend or
deform, or puncture or shred the battery.
●Do not modify or remanufacture, attempt to insert
foreign objects into the battery, immerse or
expose to water or other liquids, expose to fire,

trash may be prohibited.
12 Important Safety Information
Radio Frequency (RF) Energy
Understanding How Your Phone
Operates
Your phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. When
it’s turned on, it receives and transmits radio
frequency (RF) signals. Your phone is designed to
transmit just enough RF power to reach the network.
The system handling your call controls the RF power
level. Depending on network conditions, your phone
may operate at an actual Specific Absorption Rates
(SAR) level below the maximum value specified. Your
phone is designed not to exceed the recommended
international guidelines for limits on RF exposure.
Knowing Radio Frequency Safety
The design of your phone complies with updated
NCRP standards described below.
In 1991–92, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics
Engineers (IEEE) and the American National
Standards Institute (ANSI) joined in updating ANSI’s
1982 standard for safety levels with respect to
human exposure to RF signals. More than 120
scientists, engineers, and physicians from
universities, government health agencies, and
industries developed this updated standard after
reviewing the available body of research. In 1993,
the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
adopted this updated standard in a regulation. In
August 1996, the FCC adopted a hybrid standard
Important Safety Information 13
consisting of the existing ANSI/IEEE standard and the
guidelines published by the National Council of
Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP).
Body-Worn Operation
To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure
guidelines, always use an appropriate accessory if
using the phone for body worn operations. Accessories
used with this phone for body worn operations must
not contain any metallic components and must provide
at least 0.59 inches (1.5 centimeters) separation
distance between the user’s body and the phone,
including antennas. Body worn accessories that do not
meet these requirements may not comply with FCC RF
exposure requirements and should be avoided.
This device is not intended to be used with a lanyard or
strap on the body. The device contains a mounting
point that may be used to attach the device to
equipment, a backpack, or tool belt, etc.
For more information about RF exposure, visit the
FCC website at http://www.fcc.gov.
Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) for
Wireless Phones
The SAR value corresponds to the relative amount of
RF energy absorbed into 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
14 Important Safety Information
phone emits. All phone models are tested at their
highest value in strict laboratory settings. But when
in operation, the SAR of a phone can be substantially
less than the level reported to the FCC. This is
because of a variety of factors including its proximity
to a base station antenna, phone design, and other
factors. What is important to remember is that each
phone meets strict federal guidelines. Variations in
SARs do not represent a variation in safety.
All phones must meet the federal standard, which
incorporates a substantial margin of safety. As stated
above, variations in SAR values between different
model phones do not mean variations in safety. SAR
values at or below the federal standard of 1.6 W/kg
are considered safe for use by the public.
The highest reported SAR values of the your phone
are:
Head: 0.77 W/kg
Body-worn: 1.43 W/kg
Hotspot: 1.06 W/kg
In the US, the SAR limit for mobile devices used by
the public is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over
1 gram of tissue for the body or head.
Phone models may have different versions and more
than one value. Changes in design or components
may occur over time and some changes could affect
SAR values. More information on the phone’s SAR
can be found on the following FCC website: http://
www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/.
