These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
General Precautions Note For the best care of your device, only Sprint authorized personnel should service your device and accessories. Failure to do so may be dangerous and void your warranty. Usage Log Your smart device includes a Usage Log that records software application launches and any device crashes or resets. A hard reset will not erase the Usage Log. We may, for diagnostic purposes, access the Usage Log in products returned to Palm.
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. Note Purchase an optional hands-free accessory at your local Sprint Store. For more information, visit sprint.com. Following Safety Guidelines To operate your device safely and efficiently, always follow any special regulations in a given area.
Turning Off Your Phone Before Flying 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.
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.
䢇 䢇 Any combined rating equal to five is considered normal use. Any combined rating equal to four is considered usable. 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.
Caution Do not turn on the HAC setting unless you use a hearing aid with a telecoil. Using this setting without a hearing aid or with a hearing aid without a telecoil may be harmful to your hearing. 1. Make sure your phone is turned on (see “Turning Your Device’s Phone On and Off” on page 61). 2. Press Phone 3. Press Menu . . 4. Select Options and then select Phone Preferences. 5. Check the Hearing Aid Compatibility box. 6. Select OK.
