Driving safely
Never use handheld phones while driving. It is an offence, 
that while driving, to hold a phone or cradle it in your 
neck at any point, during the setup, making or taking 
of a phone call, text message or any other data related 
mobile communication. Use of fully installed car kits 
are still permitted, as are the use of alternate handsfree 
accessories.
In the interest of safety, we would recommend the use of a 
cradle while using any form of handsfree accessory.
While driving, we recommend that you use voicemail 
wherever possible, and that you listen to your messages 
when you are not in the car. If you must make a handsfree 
call when driving, keep it brief. 
Do not place objects, including both installed or portable 
wireless equipment, in the area over the airbag or in the 
airbag deployment area. An airbag inates with great force. 
If the airbag inates, serious injury could result.
Electronic devices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF 
energy.
However, certain electronic equipment may not be shielded 
against the RF signals from your device.
Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers’ Association 
recommends that a minimum separation of six (6”) inches 
be maintained between a phone and a pacemaker to 
avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. These 
recommendations are consistent with the independent 
research by and recommendations of Wireless Technology 
Research.
If you have a pacemaker:
•  Always keep your PadFone X device more than six 
inches (15cm) from your pacemaker when turned 
on.
•  Do not carry your PadFone X in your breast pocket.
•  Use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the 
potential for interference.
•  If you have any reason to suspect that interference 
is taking place, switch off your PadFone X device 
immediately.

RF Exposure Information (SAR)
This device meets the government’s requirements for 
exposure to radio waves. 
This device is designed and manufactured not to exceed the 
emission limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy 
set by the Federal Communications Commission of the U.S. 
Government. 
The exposure standard for wireless device employs a unit 
of measurement known as the Specic Absorption Rate, 
or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg. *Tests 
for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions 
accepted by the FCC with the device transmitting at its 
highest certied power level in all tested frequency bands.  
Although the SAR is determined at the highest certied 
power level, the actual SAR level of the device while 
operating can be well below the maximum value. This is 
because the device is designed to operate at multiple power 
levels so as to use only the poser required to reach the 
network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base 
station antenna, the lower the power output.
The highest SAR value for the model device as reported to 
the FCC when tested for use at the ear is 0.98 W/kg and 
when worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is 
1.18 W/kg (Body-worn measurements differ among device 
models, depending upon available accessories and FCC 
requirements.)
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of 
various devices and at various positions, they all meet the 
government requirement.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this 
model device with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in 
compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR 
information on this model device is on le with the FCC and 
can be found under the Display Grant section of www.fcc. 
gov/oet/ea/fccid after searching on FCC ID: MSQT00D.
For body worn operation, this device has been tested 
and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines for use with 
AT&T_Padfone-X_Safety_Notices.in9  9 2/14/14  5:27:15 PM
 

an accessory that contains no metal and be positioned a 
minimum of 1cm from the body. Use of other accessories 
may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure 
guidelines. If you do not use a body-worn accessory and 
are not holding the device at the ear, position the handset 
a minimum of 1cm from your body when the device is 
switched on.
The Federal Communications Commission has 
implementedrules and a rating system designed to enable 
people who wear hearing aids to more effectively use these 
wireless telecommunications devices. The standard for 
compatibility of digital wireless phones with hearing aids 
is set forth in American National Standard Institute (ANSI) 
standard C63.19. There are two sets of ANSI standards 
with ratings from one to four (four being the best rating): 
an “M” rating for reduced interference making it easier to 
hear conversations on the phone when using the hearing 
aid microphone, and a “T” rating that enables the phone to 
be used with hearing aids operating in the telecoil mode thus 
reducing unwanted background noise. 
The Hearing Aid Compatibility rating is displayed on the 
wireless phone box.A phone is considered Hearing Aid 
Compatible for acoustic coupling (microphone mode) if it 
has an “M3” or “M4” rating. A digital wireless phone is 
considered Hearing Aid Compatible for inductive coupling 
(telecoil mode) if it has a “T3” or “T4” rating.
The tested M-Rating and T-Rating for this device 
(FCC ID: MSQT00D) are M3 and T4.
This disclosure shall include the following language:This phone 
has been tested and rated for use with hearing aids for some of 
the wireless technologies that it uses. However, there may be some 
newer wireless technologies used in this phone that have not been 
tested yet for use with hearing aids. It is important to try the different 
features of this phone thoroughly and in different locations, using 
your hearing aid or cochlear implant, to determine if you hear any 
 interfering noise. Consult your service provider or the manufacturer 
of this phone for information on hearing aid compatibility. If you 
have questions about return or exchange policies, consult your 
 service provider or phone retailer.
