Section 2 Safety and Warranty Information
Important Safety Information In This Section l General Precautions This phone guide contains important operational and safety information that will help you safely use your phone. Failure to read and follow the information provided in this phone guide may result in serious bodily injury, death, or property damage.
v v Do not disassemble or open crush, bend or deform, puncture or shred. v 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. v Only use the battery for the system for which it is specified. v Only use the battery with a charging system that has been qualified with the system per this standard.
Part 15.19 statement This device and its accessories comply with part15 of FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device & its accessories may not cause harmful interference. (2) This device & its accessories must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Part 15.21 statement Change or Modifications that are not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the user's authority to operate the equipment. Part 15.
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.
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. To prevent any risk of interference, FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while the plane is in the air. v v Areas where the air contains chemicals or particles such as grain, dust, or metal powders.
A number of phones offered by your service provider have been tested for hearing aid device compatibility. 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 amount of interference noise they may generate. ANSI standard C63.

Caring for the Battery Protecting Your Battery The guidelines listed below help you get the most out of your battery’s performance. v v v 54 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.
Understanding How Your Phone Operates 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 0.2 watts in digital mode. Knowing Radiofrequency Safety The design of your phone complies with updated NCRP standards described below.
Specific Absorption Rate (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. But when in operation, the SAR of a phone can be substantially less than the level reported to the FCC.
Manufacturer’s Warranty Manufacturer’s Warranty In This Section l Manufacturer’s Warranty Your phone has been designed to provide you with reliable, worry-free service. If for any reason you have a problem with your equipment, please refer to the manufacturer’s warranty in this section.
