When it is ON, it receives and transmits RF energy. When you communicate with your phone, the system handling your call controls the power level at which your phone transmits.Specific Absorption Rate (SAR): Your mobile device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio waves recommended by international guidelines. These guidelines were developed by the independent scientific organization ICNIRP and include safety margins designed to assure the protection of all persons, regardless of age and health.In order to certify this unit for sale to the public, this unit has been tested for RF exposure compliance at a qualified test laboratory and found to comply with the regulations regarding exposure to RF Energy under the recommendations of the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP). The tests are preformed in positions and locations as required by the FCC and IC for each model.
Regulatory and safety information 51As SAR is measured utilizing the device's highest transmitting power, the actual SAR of this device while operating is typically below that indicated below. This is due to automatic changes to the power level of the device to ensure it only uses the minimum power required to communicate with the network.The SAR limit for mobile devices set by FCC/IC is 1.6 W/kg averaged over 1 gram of tissue for the body or head (4.0 W/kg averaged over 10 grams of tissue for the extremities—hands, wrists, ankles, and feet). The highest reported SAR values of the Palm® P121UEU phone are:The SAR limit recommended by The Council of the European Union is 2.0 W/kg averaged over 10 grams of tissue for the body or head (4.0 W/kg averaged over 10 grams of tissue for the extremities – hands, wrists, ankles, and feet).In order to comply with FCC and IC RF exposure safety guidelines, users MUST use one of the following types of body-worn accessories:1A Palm® brand body-worn accessory that has been tested for (specific absorption rate) SAR compliance and is intended for use with this product.2An accessory that contains NO metal (snaps, clips, etc.) and provides AT LEAST 1.5 cm (0.6 in.) of separation between the user’s body and the unit.Do NOT use the device in a manner such that it is in direct contact with the body (i.e., on the lap or in a breast pocket). Such use will likely exceed the FCC RF safety exposure limits. See fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety for more information on RF exposure safety.To view the most recent SAR values of the Palm® P121UEU phone, visit palm.com/sarumts-pixi.Body-worn operation: Important safety information regarding radio frequency (RF) radiation exposure: To ensure compliance with RF exposure guidelines the phone must be used with a minimum of 1.5 cm (0.6 in.) separation from the body. Failure to observe these instructions could result in your RF exposure exceeding the relevant guideline limits.Limiting exposure to radio frequency (RF) fields: For individuals concerned about limiting their exposure to RF fields, the World Health Organization (WHO) provides the following advice:Precautionary measures: Present scientific information does not indicate the need for any special precautions for the use of mobile phones. If individuals are concerned, they might choose to limit their own or their children’s RF exposure by limiting the length of calls, or using “hands-free” devices to keep mobile phones away from the head and body.Further information on this subject can be obtained from the WHO home page who.int/mediacentre/factsheets/fs193/en/index.html WHO Fact sheet 193: June 2000.Précautions d'usage de votre téléphone mobile: Le taux de DAS(1) (Débit d'Absorption Spécifique) de votre P121UEU phone est TBD w/kgConseils d'utilisation pour réduire le niveau d'exposition aux rayonnements: Utiliser le plus souvent possible les kits piétons (oreillettes), notamment en cas d'usage fréquent ou prolongé du téléphone mobile  Ils apportent en outre un plus grand confort d'utilisation.   Eloigner le téléphone mobile de certaines zones sensibles telles que le ventre chez les femmes enceintes ou le bas-ventre chez les adolescents, plus particulièrement lors d'une communication.Utiliser votre téléphone mobile dans de bonnes conditions de réception. Celle-ci est indiquée sur l'écran de votre téléphone par la matérialisation de barrettes. En présence de 3 ou 4 barrettes, la réception est de bonne qualité pour passer vos communications. Ce n'est pas toujours le cas dans certaines zones ou situations, notamment les parking souterrains, les ascenseurs, en train ou en voiture ou  tout simplement dans un secteur mal couvert par le réseau. Mesures touchant à la sécurité: Dans certains lieux ou situations, tels que les avions, les hôpitaux, les stations-service et les garages professionnels, l'usage du téléphone est interdit. Il est donc impératif de respecter  strictement les consignes de sécurité propres à chacune de ces situations et d'éteindre votre téléphone lorsque cela est requis.Par ailleurs  pour éviter les risques d'interférences, les personnes porteuses d'implants électroniques (stimulateurs cardiaques, pompes à insuline, neurostimulateurs..)  doivent  conserver une distance de 15 cm entre le mobile et l'implant et ne l'utiliser que du côté opposé au côté où celui-ci est situé.Téléphoner en conduisant, même avec des équipements qui ne sont pas interdits par la réglementation, est dangereux car il augmente potentiellement le risque d'accident provenant de la distraction créée par la conversation elle même. Aussi, est-il  recommandé de ne jamais téléphoner en conduisant et de considérer que l'utilisation d'un kit mains-libres n'est pas une solution.Ta b le 2 .

Le DAS, exprimé en w/kg, quantifie le niveau d'exposition aux ondes électromagnétiques et permet de vérifier la conformité des mobiles à la réglementation française et européenne qui impose que celui-ci soit inférieur à 2w/kg.Hearing Aid Compatibility (HAC)Using Your Phone With a Hearing DeviceYour device has been tested for hearing aid compatibility. Your Palm® Pixi™ Plus phone has an M3/T3 rating. For additional HAC information, including the HAC rating of this product, please refer to palm.com/hac.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. 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. 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. If your hearing device happens to be vulnerable to interference, you may not be able to use a rated phone successfully. 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 and are likely to generate less interference with hearing devices than phones that are not labeled. 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.The more immune your hearing aid device is, the less likely you are to experience interference noise from your wireless phone. Hearing aid devices should have ratings similar to those of phones. Ask your hearing health care 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 the best 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 “best use.” This is synonymous for T ratings.Palm further suggest that you experiment with multiple phones (even those not labeled M3/T3 or M4/T4) while in the store to find the one that works best with your hearing aid device. If you experience interference or find the quality of service unsatisfactory after purchasing your device, promptly return it to the store within 30 days of purchase. With the Palm 30-day Risk-Free Guarantee, you may return the device within 30 days of purchase for a full refund, and you will only be responsible for charges based on your actual usage.Getting the Best Hearing Device Experience With Your DeviceTo further minimize interference:• Set the phone’s screen and keyboard backlight settings to ensure the minimum time interval.• Move the phone around to find the point with the least interference.For more information, please go to the FCC’s Consumer Alert on accessibility of digital wireless phones at fcc.gov/cgb/consumerfacts/hac_wireless.html.Battery Handling• Do not disassemble or open; crush, bend, or deform; 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, explosion, or other hazard.• Only use the battery for the system for which it is specified.• Only use the battery with a charging system that has been qualified with the system per the IEEE/CTIA-1725 standard.

Read this information before using your phone. For the safe and efficient operation of your phone, observe these guidelines:Potentially explosive atmospheres: Turn off your phone when you are in any areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere, such as fueling areas (gas or petrol stations, below deck on boats), storage facilities for fuel or chemicals, blasting areas and areas near electrical blasting caps, and areas where there are chemicals or particles (such as metal powders, grains, and dust) in the air.
54 Regulatory and safety informationInterference to medical and personal electronic devices: Most but not all electronic equipment is shielded from RF signals and certain electronic equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals from your phone.Pacemakers: The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum separation of 15 centimeters (6 inches) be maintained between a phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with the independent research by the recommendations of Wireless Technology Research.Persons with pacemakers should:• ALWAYS keep the phone more than six inches (15 centimeters) from their pacemaker when the phone is turned ON. • Not carry the phone in a breast pocket.• Use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for interference.• Turn the phone OFF immediately if you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place.Audio safety: This phone is capable of producing loud noises which may damage your hearing. When using the speakerphone feature, it is recommended that you place your phone at a safe distance from your ear.Other medical devices, hospitals: If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of your device to determine if it is adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this information. Turn your phone OFF in health care facilities when any regulations posted in these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment that could be sensitive to external RF energy.Repetitive motion injuries: When using the keyboard or playing games on your phone, you may experience discomfort in your neck, shoulders, hands, arms, or other parts of the body. To avoid any injury, such as tendonitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, or other musculoskeletal disorder, make sure to take necessary breaks from use, take longer rests (such as several hours) if discomfort or tiring begins, and see a doctor if discomfort persists. To minimize the risk of Repetitive Motion Injuries, when texting or playing games with your phone:• Do not grip the phone too tightly.• Press the buttons lightly.• Make use of the special features in the handset which minimize the number of buttons which have to be pressed, such as message templates and predictive text.• Take lots of breaks to stretch and relax.Blackouts and seizures: Blinking lights, such as those experienced with television or playing video games, may cause some people to experience blackout or seizure, even if never experienced before. In the event a phone user should experience any disorientation, loss of awareness, convulsion, eye or muscle twitching, or other involuntary movements, stop use immediately and consult a doctor. Individuals with personal or family history of such events should consult a doctor before using the device. To limit the possibility of such symptoms, wherever possible every hour take a minimum break of 15 minutes, use in a well lighted area, view the screen from the farthest distance, and avoid exposure to blinking lights if you are tired.Operating machinery: Do not use your phone while operating machinery. Full attention must be given to operating the machinery in order to reduce the risk of an accident.Aircraft: While in aircraft, follow all instructions regarding the operation of your phone. Use of your phone while on board an aircraft must be done in accordance and in compliance with airline instructions and regulations.Vehicles with air bags: Your phone should not be placed in a position that would affect the operation of air bag deployment or in a position that, should the air bag inflate, could propel the phone. Air bags will inflate with great force and care should be taken to protect within a vehicle that has air bags. Do not place a phone in the area over an air bag or in the air bag deployment area. Store the phone safely before driving the vehicle.Hearing aids: People with hearing aids or other cochlear implants may experience interfering noises when using wireless devices or when one is nearby. The level of interference will depend on the type of hearing device and the distance from the interference source. Increasing the separation between them may reduce the interference. You may also consult your hearing aid manufacturer to discuss alternatives.Small children: Do not leave your phone and its accessories within the reach of small children or allow them to play with it. They could hurt themselves or others, or could accidentally damage the phone. Your phone contains small parts with sharp edges that may cause an injury or which could become detached and create a choking hazard.Keep the device away from the abdomens of pregnant women and adolescents, particularly when using the device hands-free.To reduce exposure to radiation, use your device in good reception areas, as indicated by the bars on your phone, at least 3 to 4 bars. Caution: Avoid potential hearing loss Prolonged exposure to loud sounds (including music) is the most common cause of preventable hearing loss. Some scientific research suggests that using portable audio devices, such as portable music players and cellular telephones, at high volume settings for long durations may lead to permanent noise-induced hearing loss. This includes the use of headphones (including headsets, ear buds, and Bluetooth® or other wireless devices). Exposure to very loud sound has also been associated in some studies with tinnitus (a ringing in the ear), hypersensitivity to sound, and distorted hearing. Individual susceptibility to noise-induced hearing loss and other potential hearing problems varies. The amount of sound produced by a portable audio device varies depending on the nature of the sound, the device, the device settings, and the headphones. You should follow some common sense recommendations when using any portable audio device:• Set the volume in a quiet environment and select the lowest volume at which you can hear adequately.• When using headphones, turn the volume down if you cannot hear the people speaking near you or if the person sitting next to you can hear what you are listening to.
Regulatory and safety information 55• Do not turn the volume up to block out noisy surroundings. If you choose to listen to your portable device in a noisy environment, use noise-cancelling headphones to block out background environmental noise.• Limit the amount of time you listen. As the volume increases, less time is required before your hearing could be affected.• Avoid using headphones after exposure to extremely loud noises, such as rock concerts, that might cause temporary hearing loss. Temporary hearing loss might cause unsafe volumes to sound normal.• Do not listen at any volume that causes you discomfort. If you experience ringing in your ears, hear muffled speech, or experience any temporary hearing difficulty after listening to your portable audio device, discontinue use and consult your doctor.• You can obtain additional information on this subject from the following sources:American Academy of Audiology 11730 Plaza America Drive, Suite 300Reston, VA 20190Voice: (800) 222-2336Email: info@audiology.orgInternet: audiology.orgNational Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders National Institutes of Health31 Center Drive, MSC 2320Bethesda, MD USA 20892-2320Voice: (301) 496-7243Email: nidcdinfo@nih.govInternet: nidcd.nih.gov/health/hearingNational Institute for Occupational Safety and Health 395 E Street, S.W., Suite 9200Patriots Plaza BuildingWashington, DC 20201Voice: 1-800-CDC-INFO (1-800-232-4636)Internet: http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/topics/noise/Product Handling and SafetyGeneral statement on handling and use: You alone are responsible for how you use your phone and any consequences of its use.You must always switch off your phone wherever the use of a phone is prohibited.

56 Regulatory and safety informationDriving SafetyDriving Safety Tips Overview Always obey all laws and regulations on the use of the phone in your driving area.Safety—Your most important call. The Wireless Industry reminds you to use your phone safely when driving.1Get to know your phone and its features, such as speed-dial and redial.2Use a hands-free device where it is allowed. In some areas, you may not use your phone while driving even with a hands-free accessory.3Position your phone within easy reach.4Let the person you are speaking to know you are driving; if necessary, suspend the call in heavy traffic or hazardous weather conditions.5Do not take notes, look up phone numbers, read/write email, or surf the Internet while driving.6Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place calls when you are not moving or before pulling into traffic.7Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that may divert your attention from the road.8Dial your national emergency number to report serious emergencies. This is a free call from your phone.9Use your phone to help others in emergencies.10 Call roadside assistance or a special non-emergency wireless number when necessary.Driving Safety Tip Details 1Get to know your phone and its features such as speed-dial and redial. Carefully read your instruction manual and learn to take advantage of valuable features most phone models offer, including automatic redial and memory dial. Also, work to memorize the phone keyboard so you can use the speed-dial function without taking your attention off the road.2Use a hands-free device. A number of hands-free phone accessories are readily available today. Whether you choose an installed mounted device for your phone or a speaker accessory, take advantage of these devices. If driving while using a phone is permitted in your area, we recommend using a phone headset or a hands-free car kit (sold separately). However, be aware that use of a headset that covers both ears impairs your ability to hear other sounds. Use of such a headset while operating a motor vehicle or riding a bicycle may create a serious hazard to you and/or others, and may be illegal. If you must use a stereo headset while driving, place a speaker in only one ear. Leave the other ear free to hear outside noises, and do so only if it is legal and you can do so safely.3Make sure you place your phone within easy reach and where you can grab it without removing your eyes from the road. If you get an incoming call at an inconvenient time, let your voicemail answer it for you.4Suspend conversations during hazardous driving conditions or situations. Let the person you are speaking to know you are driving; if necessary, suspend the call in heavy traffic or hazardous weather conditions. Rain, sleet, snow, and ice can be hazardous, but so is heavy traffic. As a driver, your first responsibility is to pay attention to the road.5Do not take notes, look up phone numbers, read/write e-mail, or surf the internet while driving. If you are reading an address book or business card while driving a car, or writing a to-do list, then you are not watching where you are going. It’s common sense. Do not get caught in a dangerous situation because you are reading or writing and not paying attention to the road or nearby vehicles.6Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place calls when you are not moving or before pulling into traffic. Try to plan your calls before you begin your trip, or attempt to schedule your calls with times you may be temporarily stopped or otherwise stationary. But if you need to dial while driving, follow this simple tip: dial only a few numbers, check the road and your mirrors, then continue.7Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that may be distracting. Stressful or emotional conversations and driving do not mix—they are distracting and even dangerous when you are behind the wheel. Make people you are talking with aware you are driving and if necessary, suspend phone conversations which have the potential to divert your attention from the road.8Use your phone to call for help. Your phone is one of the greatest tools you can own to protect yourself and your family in dangerous situations—with your phone at your side, help is only three numbers away. Dial your national emergency number in the case of fire, traffic accident, road hazard, or medical emergencies. Remember, your national emergency number is a free call on your phone.9Use your phone to help others in emergencies. If you see an auto accident, crime in progress, or other serious emergency where lives are in danger, call your national emergency number, as you would want others to do for you.10 Call roadside assistance or a special wireless non-emergency assistance number when necessary. Certain situations you encounter while driving may require attention, but are not urgent enough to merit a call to your national emergency number. But you can still use your phone to lend a hand. If you see a broken-down vehicle posing no serious hazard, a broken traffic signal, a minor traffic accident where no one appears injured, or a vehicle you know to be stolen, call roadside assistance or other special non-emergency wireless number.General Operation Prolonged views of screen: If you are driving, do not access any function requiring a prolonged view of the screen. Pull over in a safe and legal manner before attempting to access a function of the system requiring prolonged attention. Even occasional short scans to the screen may be hazardous if your attention has been diverted away from your driving task at a critical time.Volume setting: Do not raise the volume excessively. Keep the volume at a level where you can still hear outside traffic and emergency signals while driving. Driving while unable to hear these sounds could cause an accident.Let your judgment prevail: The Device Software is only an aid. Make your driving decisions based on your observations of local conditions and existing traffic regulations. The Device Software is not a substitute for your personal judgment.Hands-Free Capability All CTIA Certified portable products provide the consumer with a toll-free number for the purchase of a compatible hands-free device, 1-800-881-7256.
Regulatory and safety information 57ESD SafetyElectrostatic 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. For example, after walking over a carpet while scuffing your feet, building up electrons on your body, you may get a shock—the discharge event—when you touch a metal doorknob. This little shock discharges the built-up static electricity.ESD-susceptible equipment Even a small amount of ESD can harm circuitry, so when working with electronic devices, take measures to help protect your electronic devices, including your Palm phone, from ESD harm. While Palm has built protections against ESD into its products, ESD unfortunately exists and, unless neutralized, could build up to levels that could harm your equipment. Any electronic device that contains an external entry point for plugging in anything from cables to docking stations is susceptible to entry of ESD. Devices that you carry with you, such as your phone, build up ESD in a unique way because the static electricity that may have built up on your body is automatically passed to the device. Then, when the device is connected to another device such as a docking station, a discharge event can occur.Precautions against ESD Make sure to discharge any built-up static electricity from yourself and your electronic devices before touching an electronic device or connecting one device to another. The recommendation from Palm is that you take this precaution before connecting your phone to your computer, placing the phone in a docking station, or connecting it to any other device. You can do this in many ways, including the following:• Ground yourself when you’re holding your mobile device by simultaneously touching a metal surface that is at earth ground. For example, if your computer has a metal case and is plugged into a standard three-prong grounded outlet, touching the case should discharge the ESD on your body.• Increase the relative humidity of your environment.• Install ESD-specific prevention items, such as grounding mats.Conditions that enhance ESD occurrences Conditions that can contribute to the buildup of static electricity in the environment include the following:•Low relative humidity.• Material type. (The type of material gathering the charge. For example, synthetics are more prone to static buildup than natural fibers like cotton.)• The rapidity with which you touch, connect, or disconnect electronic devices.While you should always take appropriate precautions to discharge static electricity, if you are in an environment where you notice ESD events, you may want to take extra precautions to protect your electronic equipment against ESD.Owner’s record The model number, regulatory number, and serial number are located on a nameplate inside the battery compartment.
