Failure to read and follow the information provided in this phone guide may result in serious bodily injury, death, or property damage.
Maintaining Safe Use of and Access to Your Phone 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 or mobile phone features are in use. Check with your local service provider for details.
Note: Never transport or store flammable gas, flammable liquids, or explosives in the compartment of your vehicle that contains your phone or accessories.

Please Note the Following Information When Using Your Handset 1.
Using Your Phone With a Hearing Aid Device A number of our phones 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.
We further suggests 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. Getting the Best Hearing Device Experience With Your Phone To further minimize interference: 䢇 Set the phone’s display and keypad backlight settings to ensure the minimum time intervals. 1. Press > Settings/Tools > Settings > Display > Backlight Control > Backlight Dim. 2. Touch the minimum time interval setting.
䢇 Don’t store the battery in high temperature areas for long periods of time. It’s best to follow these storage rules: 䡲 Less than one month: -4° F to 140° F (-20° C to 60° C) 䡲 More than one month: -4° F to 113° F (-20° C to 45° C) Disposal of Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) Batteries Do not handle a damaged or leaking Li-Ion battery as you can be burned. For safe disposal options of your Li-Ion batteries, contact your nearest Boost authorized service center.

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.
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: 䢇 Reorient the direction of the internal antenna. 䢇 Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. 䢇 Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
