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.

Using Your Phone While Driving

Talking on your phone while driving (or operating the
phone without a hands-free device) is prohibited in
some jurisdictions. Laws vary as to specific
restrictions. Remember that safety always comes
first.

2 Important Safety Information

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.

Medical Devices

If you have a medical device, including an
implantable medical device such as a pacemaker or
defibrillator, consult your healthcare provider and the
device manufacturer’s directions before using this
mobile phone.

Persons with implantable medical devices:

● Should always keep the mobile phone more than
six (6) inches from the implantable medical device
when the mobile phone is turned ON.

● Should not carry the mobile phone in the breast
pocket.

● Should use the ear opposite the implantable
medical device to minimize the potential for
interference.

● Should turn OFF the mobile phone immediately if
you have any reason to suspect that interference
is taking place.

Important Safety Information 3

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.

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 turn off the phone in healthcare

facilities, and request permission before
using the phone near medical equipment.

Using Your Phone On Airplanes

On airplanes, follow applicable airline regulations and
always follow the flight crew’s instructions concerning
the use of your phone.

4 Important Safety Information

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 remote­control 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 include:

● Fueling areas such as gas stations.

● Below deck on boats.

● Fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities.

● 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.

Note: Never transport or store flammable gas,

flammable liquids, or explosives in the
compartment of your vehicle that contains
your phone or accessories.

Note: Your phone complies with the Standards for

Hazardous Location Equipment. Refer to the
following section ‘Using Your Phone in
Hazardous Locations’ for details.

Important Safety Information 7

Waterproof Capability

Your DuraXV is waterproof and meets IPX5, protection
against sprayed water and IPX8 standards,
submersible for up to 30 minutes at a depth not
exceeding 1.8 meters (about 6 feet). Exposing your
phone to water outside these limits or not following the
precautions can result in water damage and will
invalidate the Consumer Limited Warranty.

To ensure that your phone maintains waterproof
capability, the following precautions must be
observed.

● Make sure the charger/data port, audio jack and
battery covers are properly seated, with no foreign
objects obstructing the seals.

● Do not spray or immerse your phone in liquids other
than fresh water or tap water, such as detergent,
beverages, or chlorinated or treated water. Certain
liquids such as salt water and chlorinated water are
corrosive over time. Should your phone be
accidentally exposed to other liquids, rinse the
phone gently in clean fresh water.

● Do not expose your phone to water heated in
excess of 104° F (40° C).

● Your phone is inoperable under water and should
be dried as quickly as possible when wet.

● Do not use the charger/data port for charging, data
transmission, etc. until the phone is completely dry.

● Do not use the audio jack to plug in an accessory
until the phone is completely dry.

8 Important Safety Information

If your phone gets wet:

Water in the phone’s open microphone and speaker
ports may affect outbound audio quality and speaker
performance. These are temporary conditions and
will subside once the phone is dry.

1. Wipe the phone surfaces with a dry clean cloth.

2. Water in the phone’s open microphone and
speaker ports (small holes located at the top
and bottom and grid of holes along the bottom
front of the phone) should be removed with
puffs of air directly into the ports. Phone audio
may not operate properly until ports are dry.
Apply a dry clean cloth to the open areas and
crevices to remove the moisture left on the
phone: microphones; speakers; all physical
keys; battery cover; audio jack cover; and
charger/data port cover.

3. Repeat the process until the phone is
completely dry.

Charging

● Dry your phone with a clean cloth before charging.

● Do not touch the charger, charging cable, or

charger/data port with wet hands. Doing so may
cause electric shock, injury, or product failure.

● Do not charge your phone in a wet or damp place,
such as in a bathroom or near a kitchen sink.

Important Safety Information 9

Using Your Phone With a Hearing Aid Device

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 in finding 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 DuraXV has an M4 and
a T4 rating.

These ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary
depending on the user’s hearing device and the
individual's 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.
