1. Safety At A Glance Read these simple guidelines before using your phone. Failure to comply with these guidelines may be dangerous or illegal. For more detailed safety information, “Important Safety Information” on page 86. Road Safety Comes First Don’t use a hand-held phone while driving; park the vehicle first. Switch Off In Hospitals Switch off your phone when near medical equipment. Follow any regulations or rules in force. Switch Off On Aircraft Mobile phones can cause interference.
Accessories and Batteries Use only approved accessories and batteries. Do not connect incompatible products. FCC/Industry Canada Notice Your phone may cause TV or radio interference (e.g. when using a telephone in close proximity to receiving equipment). The FCC/ Industry Canada can require you to stop using your telephone if such interference can not be eliminated. If you require assistance, contact your local service facility. This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules.
If your phone displays Not charging, charging is suspended. Check that the battery is connected only to an approved charging device. If the battery is very hot or cold, wait for a while; charging will automatically resume after the battery is restored to its normal operating temperature. If charging still fails, contact your dealer. Charging times depend on the type of battery and charger used. For approximate charging and operating times, see “Batteries” on page 81.
Important Battery Information • • The battery can be charged and discharged hundreds of times but it will eventually wear out. When the operating time (talk time and standby time) is noticeably shorter than normal, it is time to buy a new battery. Use only batteries approved by the phone manufacturer and recharge your battery only with the chargers approved by the manufacturer. When a charger is not in use, disconnect it from the power source.
