Safety and Maintenance Instructions
Please read the following safety instructions before using your Clarity PalTM Dual Band Mobile
Phone and accessories. Please keep these instructions for your reference. When using this
product, these safety precautions and warnings should be followed to reduce the risk of re,
electric shock, injury to persons and damage to property. Additional warnings may be pres-
ent on the product, packaging, or in the user instructions.
WARNINGS
Emergency Call Feature
When the emergency button is pressed
the emergency numbers saved in the
phone’s address book will be called in
the order you have selected until a party
is reached. Up to ve emergency numbers may be saved in the address book.
The numbers and the order they will be
called must be entered into the phone
in order to ensure the desired numbers
are dialed when the emergency button
is pressed. After you have entered your
ve emergency numbers, you should
test the phone’s emergency call feature
by pressing the emergency button to
ensure that you have correctly entered
the numbers into the phone.
Since the phone service must be
purchased in advance through monthly
pre-paid credits, you must ensure that
you have made your pre-payment in
order for the phone service to remain
activated. If you do not make your
monthly pre-payment or if you do not
make a full monthly payment, you will
lose your phone service, and the phone
and the emergency call feature will not
be available.
You must also ensure that the phone’s
battery is fully charged at all times and
that the phone is in good working condition in order for the emergency call
feature to work.
If the phone is outside of a coverage
area, if network service is temporarily
suspended by the network carrier, or if
there is network or phone inter ference,
the emergency call feature will not be
available during those times.
This phone is not equipped with a global
positioning service or other means to
deter-mine the physical location of the
phone. Consequently, if an emergency
situation arises but you are unable to
provide your location to an emergency
contact person in your address book,
neither they nor an emergency response
service may be able to locate you.
The SIM card must be installed and
activated before you will receive any
phone service. If the SIM card is damaged or replaced, the emergency contact
numbers you entered into the phone will
be lost. In that case you must re-enter
your ve emergency contact numbers

Exposure to Electromagnetic
Energy in the Radio Frequency
Band
When turned on, this device transmits
and receives electromagnetic radiation
in the radio frequency (RF) bandwidth
through its antenna. By international
scientic agreement, the unit of measurement of (RF) energ y is the “specic
absorption rate”, or SAR. In the United
States, the applicable SAR limit for the
C900, set by the FCC is 1.60 mW/g
(thousandths of watts per gram of mass),
or 1.60 W/Kg (watts per kilogram of
mass). The max-imum SAR exposure
measured for the C900 was 0.738 W/Kg
when the phone was turned on but not
in use (body position), and 0.264 W/Kg
when the phone was in use (cheek position). In all cases, the phone was passed
by an independent testing facility.
Disposal and Recycling
Check and follow local laws re-garding
