● Do not expose your phone to direct sunlight for extended periods of time (such as on the dashboard of a car).

● Although your phone is quite sturdy, it is a complex piece of equipment and can be broken. Avoid dropping, hitting, bending, or sitting on it.

● Any changes or modifications to your phone not expressly approved in this document could void your warranty for this equipment and void your authority to operate this equipment.

● Authorized personnel should service your phone and accessories. Failure to do so may be dangerous and void your warranty.

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 wireless networks or when certain network services or mobile phone features are in use. Check with your local service provider for details.

Using Your Phone While Driving

Using your phone while driving (or operating the phone without a hands-free device) is prohibited in certain jurisdictions. Laws vary as to specific restrictions. Remember to focus on driving first.

Important Safety Information 90

Following Safety Guidelines

To operate your phone safely and efficiently, always follow any special regulations in a given area. Turn your phone off in areas where use is forbidden or when it may cause interference or danger.

Using Your Phone Near Other Electronic Devices

Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from radio frequency (RF) signals. However, RF signals from wireless phones may affect inadequately shielded electronic equipment.

RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic operating systems or entertainment systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or their representative to determine if these systems are adequately shielded from external RF signals. Also check with the manufacturer regarding any equipment that has been added to your vehicle.

Personal Implantable Medical Devices

Consult the manufacturer of any personal medical devices, such as pacemakers and hearing aids, to determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF signals.

Note: Always request permission before using the phone in healthcare facilities or near

medical equipment.

Turning Off Your Phone Before Flying

To prevent possible interference with aircraft systems, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations require you to have permission from a crew member to use your phone while the plane is on the ground. To help prevent the risk of interference, regulations prohibit using your phone while the plane is in the air.

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. Sparks can cause an

explosion or fire, resulting in bodily injury or even death. These areas are often, but not always, clearly marked. They may include:

 Fueling areas, such as gas stations.  Below deck on ships and boats.  Fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities.

Important Safety Information 91

 Areas where the air contains chemicals or particles such as grain, dust, or metal

powders.

 Any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle’s engine,

for example.

Note: Never transport or store flammable gas, flammable liquids, or explosives in the

compartment of your vehicle that contains your phone or accessories.

Restricting Children’s Access to Your Phone

Your phone is not a toy. Do not allow children to play with it as they could hurt themselves and others, damage the phone, make inadvertent emergency calls, or make other calls that may impact your Boost account.

Using Your Phone With a Hearing Aid Device

A number of Boost 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 C63.19 was developed to provide a standardized means of measuring both wireless phone and hearing devices to determine usability rating categories for both.

Ratings have been developed for mobile phones to assist hearing device users to find phones that may be compatible with their hearing device. Not all phones have been rated for compatibility with hearing devices. Phones that have been rated have a label located on the box. Your Coast has an M4 and a T4 rating.

These ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary depending on the user’s hearing device and individual type and degree of hearing loss. If a hearing device is particularly vulnerable to interference noise, even a phone with a higher rating may still cause unacceptable noise levels in the hearing device. Trying out the phone with your hearing device is the best way to evaluate it for your personal needs.

M-Ratings: Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements for hearing aid compatibility and are likely to generate less interference to hearing devices than unrated phones. (M4 is the better/higher of the two ratings.)

T-Ratings: Phones rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to be more usable

with a hearing device’s telecoil (“T Switch” or “Telephone Switch”) than unrated phones. (T4 is

the better/higher of the two ratings. Note that not all hearing devices have telecoils in them.)

Note: 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 newer wireless technologies used in this

Important Safety Information 92

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.

Hearing aid devices may also be measured for immunity to interference noise from wireless phones and should have ratings similar to phones. Ask your hearing healthcare professional for the rating of your hearing aid. Add the rating of your hearing aid and your phone to determine probable usability:

 Any combined rating equal to or greater than six offers excellent use.  Any combined rating equal to five is considered normal use.  Any combined rating equal to four is considered usable.

Thus, if you pair an M3 hearing aid with an M3 phone, you will have a combined rating of six for “excellent use.” This is synonymous for T ratings.

Boost 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. Should you experience interference or find the quality of service unsatisfactory after purchasing your phone, promptly return it to the store. More information about hearing aid compatibility may be found at: http://www.fcc.gov, http://www.fda.gov, and http://www.accesswireless.org.

Getting the Best Hearing Device Experience With Your Phone

To further minimize interference, move the phone around to find the point with least interference.

Caring for the Battery

Protecting Your Battery

The guidelines listed below help you get the most out of your battery’s performance.

● Recently there have been some public reports of wireless phone batteries overheating,

catching fire or exploding. It appears that many, if not all, of these reports involve counterfeit or inexpensive, aftermarket-brand batteries with unknown or questionable manufacturing standards. Boost is not aware of similar problems with Boost phones resulting from the proper use of batteries and accessories approved by the manufacturer of your phone. Use only manufacturer-approved batteries and accessories found

through your phone’s manufacturer. Buying the right batteries and accessories is the

best way to ensure they’re genuine and safe.

● Do not disassemble or open crush, bend or deform, puncture or shred the battery.
