Important Safety Information Safety In This Section ⽧ General Precautions ⽧ Maintaining Safe Use of and Access to Your Device ⽧ Using Your Phone With a Hearing Aid Device ⽧ Caring for the Battery ⽧ Radiofrequency (RF) Energy ⽧ Bluetooth® Qualification Program ⽧ Static Electricity, ESD, and Your Device ⽧ Owner’s Record ⽧ User’s Guide Proprietary Notice This guide contains important operational and safety information to help you safely use your Palm Centro™ smart device.
General Precautions There are several simple guidelines to operating your device properly and maintaining safe, satisfactory service. 䢇 Speak directly into the microphone. 䢇 Avoid exposing your device and accessories to rain or liquid spills. If your device does get wet, immediately turn the power off and remove the battery. 䢇 Although your device is quite sturdy, it is a complex piece of equipment and can be broken. Avoid dropping, hitting, or bending it, or sitting on it.
Maintaining Safe Use of and Access to Your Device Wireless phones such as the one on your Centro device operate using radio signals, which cannot guarantee connection in all conditions. Therefore you should never rely solely upon any wireless phone for essential communication (for example, medical emergencies). Emergency calls may not be possible on all cellular networks or when certain network services and/or phone features are in use. Check with your local service provider for details.
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 health care facilities and request permission before using the phone near medical equipment. Turning Off Your Phone Before Flying Turn off your phone before boarding any aircraft.
䢇 䢇 Note: Never transport or store flammable gas, flammable liquid, or explosives in the compartment of your vehicle that contains your phone or accessories. Restricting Children’s Access to Your Device Your Centro device is not a toy. Do not allow children to play with it as they could hurt themselves and others, damage the device and/or its phone, or make calls that increase your monthly bill. Safety 121 Safety 䢇 Fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities.
Using Your Phone With a Hearing Aid Device Your Palm® Centro™ Smart Device is compliant with the FCC Hearing Aid Compatibility (HAC) requirements. For additional HAC information, including the HAC rating of this product, please refer to palm.com/centroHAC. Your device has been tested for hearing aid device compatibility. When some wireless phones are used near some hearing devices (hearing aids and cochlear implants), users may detect a buzzing, humming, or whining noise.
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 suggests 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.
Turning on the HAC Setting When the HAC setting is on, your device sends the audio from your phone calls to the telecoil rather than to the microphone of your hearing aid. You are likely to hear calls much better because volume is increased and background noise and feedback are diminished. The HAC setting improves only the calls you listen to through the earpiece. Turn off the Bluetooth feature. It does not affect calls heard on the speakerphone or with a car kit or headset.
Caring for the Battery The guidelines listed below help you get the most out of your battery’s performance. 䢇 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.
Battery Safety Information 䢇 䢇 䢇 䢇 䢇 䢇 䢇 䢇 䢇 䢇 Do not disassemble or open, crush, bend or deform, puncture or shred. 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 this standard.
Radiofrequency (RF) Energy 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 Centro smart device 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.
Bluetooth® Qualification Program Safety Information about this listing can be found at: https://programs.bluetooth.org/tpg/listings.
Static Electricity, ESD, and Your Device Electrostatic 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.
Precautions Against ESD Conditions That Enhance ESD Occurrences Conditions that can contribute to the buildup of static electricity in the environment include the following: 䢇 Low relative humidity. 䢇 Material type (The type of material gathering the charge. For example, synthetics are more prone to static buildup than natural fibers like cotton.) 䢇 The rapidity with which you touch, connect, or disconnect electronic devices.
Owner’s Record The model number, regulatory number, and serial number are located on a nameplate inside the battery compartment. Record the serial number in the space provided below. This will be helpful if you need to contact us about your phone in the future. Model: Palm® Centro™ Smart Device Serial No.
