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
Page 93
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.

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.

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 two­way radios should be turned off. Construction crews often use remote­control RF devices to set off explosives.
Turn your phone off when you are in any area that has a potentially explosive
atmosphere. Although it’s rare, your phone
and accessories could generate sparks.
Important Safety Information 93
Page 94
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.
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 or could potentially cost you money.

Waterproof Capability

Your Hydro WAVE is waterproof and meets IPX5 and IPX7 standards, immersible for up to 30 minutes at a depth not exceeding one meter (about 3.28 feet). Exposing your phone to water outside these limits or not
94 User Manual
following the precautions can result in water damage.
To ensure that your phone maintains waterproof capability, the following precautions must be observed.
● Make sure the SIM/microSD card holder cover is properly sealed by squeezing around the edges of the cover. The charger/USB port and headset jack ports do not have covers because they are waterproof.
● Do not spray or immerse your phone in liquids other than fresh water or tap water.
● Do not expose your phone to water heated in excess of 104°F (40°C), or to liquids other than water, such as detergent, beverages, or chlorinated or treated water. Should your phone be accidentally exposed to other liquids, rinse the phone gently in clean fresh water.
● Your phone is inoperable under water and should be dried as quickly as possible when wet.
● Do not use the charger/USB port for charging, data transmission, etc. until the phone is completely dry.
If your phone gets wet: Water lodged in the headset jack may
cause the phone to falsely detect an inserted headset (in which case the loudspeaker and/or earpiece audio will be disabled) until the water is removed. Water
Page 95
in the microphone port may affect outbound audio quality. These are temporary conditions and will subside once the phone is dry.
1. Do not open the SIM/microSD card holder cover as this may allow water to get inside the sealed portion of the phone.
2. Wipe the phone surfaces with a dry clean cloth.
3. Water in the phone’s open ports may
affect sound quality and 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; power button; volume button; headset jack; and charger/USB port.
4. 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/USB 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 95

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 Hydro WAVE 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.
Page 96
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 some newer wireless technologies used in this 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
96 User Manual
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. More information about hearing aid
compatibility may be found at:
www.fcc.gov, www.fda.gov, and 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.

Radio Frequency (RF) Energy

Understanding How Your Phone Operates

Your phone is a radio transmitter and
receiver. When it’s turned on, it receives
and transmits radio frequency (RF) signals. Your phone is designed to transmit just enough RF power to reach the network. The system handling your call controls the
Page 98
RF power level. Depending on network conditions, your phone may operate at an actual SAR level below the maximum value specified. Your phone is designed not to exceed the recommended international guidelines for limits on RF exposure.

Knowing Radio Frequency Safety

The design of your phone complies with updated NCRP standards described below.
In 1991–92, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and the American National Standards Institute
(ANSI) joined in updating ANSI’s 1982
standard for safety levels with respect to human exposure to RF signals.
More than 120 scientists, engineers and physicians from universities, government health agencies and industries developed this updated standard after reviewing the available body of research. In 1993, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) adopted this updated standard in a regulation. In August 1996, the FCC adopted hybrid standard consisting of the existing ANSI/IEEE standard and the guidelines published by the National Council of Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP).

Body-Worn Operation

To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines, always use an appropriate accessory if using the phone for body worn operations. Accessories used with this phone for body-worn operations must not contain any metallic components and must provide at least 0.39 inches (1.0 centimeter) separation distance between
the user’s body and the phone, including
antennas. Body worn accessories that do not meet these requirements may not comply with FCC RF exposure requirements and should be avoided.
For more information about RF exposure, visit the FCC website at www.fcc.gov.

Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) for Wireless Phones

The SAR value corresponds to the relative amount of RF energy absorbed into the head of a user of a wireless handset.
The SAR value of a phone is the result of an extensive testing, measuring and calculation process. It does not represent how much RF the phone emits. All phone models are tested at their highest value in strict laboratory settings. But when in operation, the SAR of a phone can be substantially less than the level reported to the FCC. This is because of a variety of factors including its proximity to a base station antenna, phone design and other factors. What is important to remember is that each phone meets strict federal
Page 99
guidelines. Variations in SARs do not represent a variation in safety.
All phones must meet the federal standard, which incorporates a substantial margin of safety. As stated above, variations in SAR values between different model phones do not mean variations in safety. SAR values at or below the federal standard of 1.6 W/kg are considered safe for use by the public.
The highest reported SAR values of the Hydro WAVE are:
Head: 0.66 W/kg Body-worn: 1.31 W/kg Hotspot: 1.31 W/kg
Phone models may have different versions and more than one value. Changes in design or components may occur over time and some changes could affect SAR values. More information on the phone’s SAR can be found on the following FCC website:
