8.1 About CMAS
The Commerc ial Mobile Alert Sy stem (CMAS) is a new national pub lic s afety system th at allows people who own a CMAS-enabled mobile devic e to rec eive g eographic ally­targeted messages. These broadcast mess ages will alert customers of imminent thre ats to their s afety within their immediate area.
Receiv ing a CMAS alert messag e on y our Jitterbug
T ouc h 2 – Although alerts from CMAS are not text messag es, the alerts will look similar to text messages. They will be short (not more than 90 ch aracters) and ea sy to read. The alert mess ages will provide ba sic inf ormation on s afety/security issues urging customers to tak e action to protect themselves.
User Guide 62
8.2 Types of Alerts
There are three types of alerts through CMAS:
1. Alerts issued by the President
2. Alerts involving imminent thre ats to life or property
issued b y the Nation al Weather Servic e or other authorized emergency manag ement ag ency .
3. Amber Alerts – missing child alert
Alert messages are pr ov ided by appro ved emergency agencies and delivered via the F ederal Emergency Management Ag ency (FEMA).
CMAS does not use the customer mobile number to transmit messag es and does not use the GPS loc ation of the devic e. Instead, CMAS broadca sts mess ages similar to th at of r adio today.
There is no c harg e for receiv ing CMAS messag es.

Certifi cation Inform ation (S AR)
This device meets guidelines for exposure to r adio waves. Your device is a low-power radio transmitter and receiver . As rec ommended by internation al guidelines, the devic e i s designed not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio w aves. These guidelines were developed by the independent scientifi c organization International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protec- tion (ICNIRP) and include safety measures designed to ensure s afety for al l users, regardles s of age and health. The Specifi c Absorption Rate (SAR) is the u nit of meas urement for the amount of ra dio frequency energy absorbed by the body when us ing a devic e. The S AR v alue is determined at the high­est certifi ed power level in laboratory conditions, but the actual S AR level of the dev ice when being operated can be well below the value. This is bec ause the devic e is designed to use the minimum power required to reach the network. The SAR limit adopted by USA and C an ada is 1.6 watts/kilogram (W/kg) aver aged over one gr am of ti ssue. The highest S AR v alue reported to the FCC and IC for this dev ic e type when tested for use at the e ar is 0.917 W/kg, and when properly worn on the body is 0.741 W/k g. and when using the W iFi function is 0.132 W/k g.
FCC Statement
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital devic e, pursuant to Part 15 of the FC C Rules. These limits are designed to prov ide rea sonable protection against harmful interferenc e in a residential in stall ation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not in stal led and used in ac cordanc e with the in struc­tions, may cause h armful interference to r adio c ommunic ations. However , there is no guar antee that interference wil l not oc cur in a particular inst all ation. If this equipment does c ause harmful interference to radio or television reception, whic h c an be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encour aged to try to c orrect the interferenc e by one or more of the follow­ing measures:
--Reorient or relocate the rec eiving antenna.
--Increase the separation between the equipment and rec eiver .
--Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from th at to whic h the rec eiver is
User Guide 68
connected.
--Consult the dealer or an experienc ed radio/T V tec hnician for help . This devic e complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this dev ice m ay not cause h armful interference, and (2) thi s dev ice must acc ept any interference received, including interferenc e that m ay c ause undes ired operation.
Caution
Chan ges or modifi cations made to this devic e not expressly approved b y Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. m ay void the FCC authorization to operate this dev ice. Hearing Aid Compatibility (HAC) regulations for Mobile phones In 2003, the FCC adopted rules to m ake digit al wi reless telephones compatible w ith hearing aids and cochle ar implants. Although an alog wireless phones do not usually c ause interference w ith hearing aids or coc hle ar implants, digital wireles s phones sometimes do becau se of electromag­netic energy emitted by the phone’s antenn a, bac klight, or other c omponents. Y our phone is compliant with FCC HAC regulations (ANSI C63.19). While some w ireless phones are used near some hearing devic es (hearing aid s and c oc hlear impl ants), users may detect a buzzing, humming, or whining noise. Some he aring devic es are more immu ne than others to this interference noise, and phones also vary in the amou nt of interferenc e they gener ate. The wireless telephone industry has developed a rating system for wireless phones, to assist hearing device users fi nd phones that may be compatib le with their hearing devices. Not all phones have been rated. Phones that are rated h ave the rating on their box or a l abel loc ated on the box. The ratings are not guar antees. Results w ill vary depending on the user’s hearing devic e and hearing loss. If y our hearing devic e happens to be vulnerab le to interference, y ou ma y not be able to use a rated phone suc c essful ly . Trying out the phone w ith your he aring devic e is the best wa y to evaluate it for y our personal needs. M-Ratings: Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FC C requirements and are likely to gener ate less inter ­ference to hearing devic es th an phones th at are not l abeled. M4 is the better/higher of the two ratings. T-Ratings: Phones rated T3 or T4 meet FC C requirements and are lik ely to be more us able w ith a hearing device’s telecoil (“T Sw itc h” or “Telephone Switch”) th an unr ated phones. T4 i s the bet­ter/higher of the two ratings. (Note that not all hearing devic es h ave telecoils in them.) Hearing devices m ay also be me asured. Y our phone meets the M4/T3 level rating. He aring devic es m ay also be r ated. Your hearing device manuf acturer or he aring health profess ional m ay help you fi nd this rating. This phone has been tested and rated for use with hearing aids for some of the wireless technol-
69User Guide
ogies that it uses. However , there may be some newer wireles s tec hnologies used in thi s phone that have not been tested yet for use with he aring aids. It i s important to try the different fe atures of this phone thoroughly and in different loc ations, using your he aring aid or coc hle ar implant, to determine if you hear any interfering noise. C onsult your servic e provider or the m anufact urer of this phone for information on he aring aid compatibility. If you have questions about return or exchang e policies, c onsult your service pro vider or phone retailer .

User Guide 76
You will receive a fi nal bill that will detail all the charges and credits on your account. If you wish to cancel your service before the end of a given month, you’ll be responsible for
any account charges and overages through the date of your fi nal bill. If you have purchased any Add-On Minutes, they are not refundable and these minutes will expire after your fi nal bill.
Although cancellations are effective immediately, we don’t bill for partial months; therefore, you’ll be charged for the entire month.
4. Charges And Fees
There is a fee associated with beginning your service and there may be a fee associated with reactivating your service. Usage charges vary depending on where, when and how you call, including toll-free and Operator-assisted calls. Additional features and services, such as Operator assistance, may have extra charges.
4.1 Roaming And Long Distance Charges
There are no long distance or roaming charges for any calls made within the domestic U.S. There may be additional charges for international calls and texts.
4.2 International Rates
When calling from the domestic U.S. to other countries, or when calling from outside of the domestic U.S., additional international calling rates will apply.
4.3 Taxes, Fees And Assessments
We are required by law to charge you certain taxes, surcharges and assessments that will be included on your bill. You are responsible for paying all taxes, surcharges and assessments associated with your GreatCall products and services. These may change from time to time, and we may not be able to give you advance notice about how these changes may affect you.
77User Guide
Except as prohibited by law, we may also, at our discretion, require you to pay regulatory and administrative fees to recover our costs of complying with regulatory mandates and Universal Service fees or similarly imposed charges. Any customer who is eligible for an exemption from any tax or fee must provide us with a verifi able, valid and properly executed tax-exempt certifi cate. Any tax exemption applies only after the date we receive the certifi cate from you and have verifi ed your eligibility for the exemption.
4.4 How We Calculate Your Bill
Your bill is our notice to you of your fees, charges and other important information. It refl ects the fees and charges in effect for your service plan at the time they are incurred. We charge for usage after calls are made or received and charge access and other fees in advance. The length of a call will be rounded up to the next full minute. Charges start when you’re connected to an outgoing or incoming call and end after you hang up your phone, the other party on your call hangs up, or the call ends through disconnection. We only bill for calls that connect, including calls answered by machines. Standard usage charges apply to toll-free calls. There may be additional usage charges for credit card or third party Operator-assisted calls, which may be required in certain areas. You will incur usage charges at a minimum rate of $0.35 per minute if you exceed your service plan minutes. Billing for usage and related charges may sometimes be delayed. Delayed usage charges may be applied in the month they appear on your bill against minutes included in your service plan for that month, rather than against the included minutes for the month when you actually made or received the call. This may result in charges higher than you’d expect in the later month.
4.5 Payments, Deposits, Credit Cards, And Checks
Payment is due in full as stated on your bill. IF WE DON’T RECEIVE PAYMENT IN FULL WHEN DUE, WE MAY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY THE LAW OF THE STATE OF THE BILLING ADDRESS WE HAVE ON FILE FOR YOU AT THE TIME, CHARGE YOU A LATE FEE UP TO 1.5 PERCENT A MONTH (18 PERCENT ANNUALLY) OR A FLAT $5 A MONTH, WHICHEVER IS GREATER, ON UNPAID BALANCES. WE MAY ALSO CHARGE YOU FOR ANY COLLECTION AGENCY FEES BILLED TO US FOR TRYING TO COLLECT FROM YOU. SHOULD WE NOT RECEIVE YOUR LATE PAYMENT, WE MAY SUSPEND
User Guide 78
YOUR SERVICE UNTIL PAID IN FULL. WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO CHARGE A REASONABLE RECONNECTION FEE. IF YOUR ACCOUNT REMAINS UNPAID, WE WILL CANCEL SERVICE FOR NON­PAYMENT. We reserve the right to require recurring credit card billing for certain products or services. We also reserve the right to require an advance deposit (or an increased deposit) from you based on your payment history and changes in your plan and/or the frequency of use of our services. We’ll pay simple interest on any deposit at the rate the law requires. Please retain your evidence of deposit. You agree that we can apply deposits, payments, or repayments in any order to any amounts you owe us on your account(s). You can’t use a deposit to pay any bill unless we agree. We will not honor limiting notations you make on or with your checks. We may charge you up to $25 for any returned check or denied credit card charges, depending on applicable law.
5. Service Subject To Change
Your service is dependent upon our business requirements, including policies, practices and procedures, which we can change without notice. Unless otherwise prohibited by law, we can also change prices and any other conditions in this agreement at any time by sending you written notice prior to the billing period in which the changes would go into effect. If you choose to use your service after that point, you’re accepting the changes. If the changes have a material adverse effect on you, however, you can end the affected service, without any early cancellation fee, just by calling us within 60 days after we send notice of the change.
6. Rights In Numbers And Electronic Addresses We Assign T o You
You do not have any rights in the personal identifi cation number, email address or identifi er we assign to you. The same is true for your wireless phone numbers, except for your right to transfer it. In the event we need to change or reassign them, we’ll let you know. Please know that your wireless phone number and/or name may appear when you call someone. We rely on this feature to provide services you enjoy.
7. Transferring Or “Porting” Phone Numbers
79User Guide
You may be able to transfer or “port” your phone number from us to another carrier or service provider. We cannot guarantee that this transfer will be successful. If you request that another service provider transfer or “port” your phone number, we will treat this request in the same manner as a request to cancel your GreatCall service. When the transfer is complete you will be responsible for all the terms of cancellation described in Section 3 of this agreement. We may not be able to provide you with some services, such as 9-1-1 location services, while we implement the transfer.
8. Availability Of Service
Wireless phones use radio transmissions to access service. Therefore, we can’t provide service when your wireless phone is out of range of our provider’s transmission site or if suffi cient network capacity is not available. You may not receive service in certain places, particularly in remote areas, with no service at all. Weather, topography, buildings, your wireless phone and other conditions that are outside of our control may also cause dropped calls or other problems with your service.
9. Suspending Service If Your Phone Is Lost Or Stolen
Please notify us immediately if someone steals your phone or you lose it. We’ll be happy to provide a courtesy suspension of service for 30 days or until you choose to replace or recover your phone – whichever comes fi rst – if you haven’t received a courtesy of this kind within the prior year. Until we provide a courtesy suspension, you’ll be responsible for all fees and charges, including those related to the use of services, even if used by another party. We may require a sworn statement about the loss or theft.
