For Your Safety
Important Information
This user guide contains important information on the
use and operation of this phone. Please read all the
information carefully for optimal performance and to
prevent any damage to or misuse of the phone. Any
changes or modifications not expressly approved in
this user guide could void your warranty for this
equipment.
Before You Start
Safety Instructions
WARNING! To reduce the possibility of electric shock,
do not expose your phone to high humidity areas, such
as the bathroom, swimming pool, etc.
Always store your phone away from heat. Never store
your phone in settings that may expose it to
temperatures less than 32°F or greater than 104°F,
such as outside during extreme weather conditions or
in your car on a hot day. Exposure to excessive cold or
heat will result in malfunction, damage and/or
catastrophic failure.
Be careful when using your phone near other
electronic devices. RF emissions from your mobile
phone may affect nearby inadequately shielded
electronic equipment. You should consult with
manufacturers of any personal medical devices such
as pacemakers and hearing aides to determine if they
are susceptible to interference from your mobile
phone. Turn off your phone in a medical facility or at a
gas station. Never place your phone in a microwave
oven as this will cause the battery to explode.
IMPORTANT! Please read the TIA SAFETY
INFORMATION on page 78 before using your phone.
Safety Information
Read these simple guidelines. Breaking the rules may be
dangerous or illegal. Further detailed information is given
in this user guide.
] Never use an unapproved battery since this could
damage the phone and/or battery and could cause
the battery to explode.
] Never place your phone in a microwave oven as it
will cause the battery to explode.
] Do not dispose of your battery by fire or with
hazardous or flammable materials.
9
For Your Safety

animal’s teeth, nails, come into contact with the
battery. There is a risk of this causing a fire.
] Store the battery in a place out of reach of children.
] Be careful that children do not swallow any parts
such as rubber plugs (earphone, connection parts of
the phone, etc.). This could cause asphyxiation or
suffocation.
] Unplug the power cord and charger during lightning
storms to avoid electric shock or fire.
] When riding in a car, do not leave your phone or set
up the hands-free kit near to the air bag. If wireless
equipment is improperly installed and the air bag is
activated, you may be seriously injured.
] Do not use a hand-held phone while driving.
] Do not use the phone in areas where its use is
prohibited. (For example: aircraft).
] Do not expose the battery charger or adapter to
direct sunlight or use it in places with high humidity,
such as a bathroom.
] Never store your phone in temperatures less than -
4°F or greater than 122°F.
] Do not use harsh chemicals(such as alcohol,
benzene, thinners, etc.) or detergents to clean your
phone. There is a risk of this causing a fire.
] Do not drop, strike, or shake your phone severely.
Such actions may harm the internal circuit boards of
the phone.
] Do not use your phone in high explosive areas as
the phone may generate sparks.
] Do not damage the power cord by bending, twisting,
pulling, or heating. Do not use the plug if it is loose
as it may cause a fire or electric shock.
] Do not place any heavy items on the power cord.
Do not allow the power cord to be crimped as it may
cause fire or electric shock.
