Important Safety Information 1
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.
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.
2 Important Safety Information
● 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.
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.
Turning Off Your Phone Before Flying
Turn off your phone before boarding any aircraft. 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 prevent any risk of
interference, FCC 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
Important Safety Information 3
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 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
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
DuraForce has an M4 and a T3 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.
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 th e wire less technologies that it uses. However, there may
be some newer wireless technologies use d in thi s phon e tha t 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
