Safety instructions
TIA's Safety Information
This includes complete security information on wireless phones from TIA (Telecommunications Industry
Association).
It's required, for CTIA Certification, the inclusion in the user manual of text covering pacemakers, hearing aids
and other medical devices. It's encouraged the use of the remaining TIA language when relevant.
Exposure to Radio Frequency Signal
Your wireless handheld portable telephone is a lowpower radio transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it receives
and also sends out radio frequency (RF) signals.
In August, 1996, the Federal Communications Commissions (FCC) adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety
levels for handheld wireless phones. Those guidelines are consistent with the safety standards previously set by
both U.S. and international standards bodies:
ANSI C95.1 (1992) *
NCRP Report 86 (1986)
ICNIRP (1996)
Those standards were based on comprehensive and periodic evaluations of the relevant scientific literature. For
example, over 120 scientists, engineers, and physicians from universities, government health agencies, and
industry reviewed the available body of research to develop the ANSI Standard (C95.1).
* American National Standards Institute; National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements;
International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection.
The design of your phone complies with the FCC guidelines (and those standards).
Antenna Care
Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or
attachments could damage the phone and may violate FCC regulations.
11
Safety instructions
Phone Operation
NORMAL POSITION: Hold the phone as you would any other telephone with the antenna pointed up and over
your shoulder.
Suggestions for a more efficient operation
For your phone to operate most efficiently:
• Do not touch the antenna unnecessarily, when the phone is in use. The contact with the antenna affects call
quality, and may cause the phone to operate at a higher power level than otherwise would be need.
Driving
Check the laws and regulations related to the use of wireless phones in the areas where you drive. Always obey
these regulations. Also, if using your phone while driving, make sure to:
• Pay full attention to driving; driving safely is your first responsibility;
• Use hands-free operation, if available;
• Pull off the road and park, before making or answering a call, if driving conditions demand so.
Electronic Devices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF signals.
However, certain electronic equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals from your wireless phone.
Pacemaker
The Medical Industry Manufacturers Association recommends a minimum distance of fifteen (15) centimeters,
or six (6) inches, between a handheld wireless phone and a pacemaker, in order to avoid potential interference
between them.
These advices are consistent with independent researches, and with recommendations based on wireless
technology research.
12
People with pacemakers should:
• ALWAYS keep the phone at least fifteen centimeters (six inches) from their pacemaker, whenever the phone
is turned on;
• Not carry the phone in a shirt pocket;
• Use the ear opposite to the pacemaker, to minimize the potential interference;
• If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, switch off your phone immediately.
Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of such interference, we
recommend that you contact your service provider.
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical devices, consult your device manufacturer to determine if they are
adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your doctor can help you obtain this information.
Health Care Facilities
Turn off your phone in health care facilities, whenever there are signs asking you to do so. Hospitals or health
care facilities may use equipment that could be sensitive to external RF energy.
Vehicles
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded devices in motor vehicles.
Check with the manufacturer, or its representative, regarding your vehicle.
You should also consult the manufacturer about any equipment that has been added to your vehicle.
Facilities with signs
Turn off the phone in any facility where warning signs request you to do so.

Touch screen tips
Here are some tips on how to navigate on your phone.
Tap or touch – A single finger tap selects items, links, shortcuts and letters on the on-screen keyboard.
Touch and hold – Touch and hold an item on the screen by tapping it and not lifting your finger until an action
occurs. For example, to open a contact's available options, touch and hold the contact in the Contacts list until
the context menu opens.
Drag – Touch and hold an item for a moment and then, without lifting your finger, move your finger on the
screen until you reach the target position. You can drag items on the Home screen to reposition them.
Swipe or slide – To swipe or slide, quickly move your finger across the surface of the screen, without pausing
when you first tap it (so you don’t drag an item instead). For example, you can slide the screen up or down to
scroll through a list, or browse through the different Home screens by swiping from left to right (and vice versa).
Double-tap – Double-tap to zoom on a webpage or a map. For example, quickly double-tap a section of a
webpage to adjust that section to fit the width of the screen. You can also double-tap to zoom in and out while
viewing the picture.
Pinch-to-Zoom – Use your index finger and thumb in a pinching or spreading motion to zoom in or out when
using the browser or Maps, or when browsing pictures.
Rotate the screen – From many applications and menus, the orientation of the screen adjusts to the device's
physical orientation.
NOTE:
•
To select an item, tap the center of the icon.
•
Do not press too hard; the tap screen is sensitive enough to pick up a light, yet firm
tap.
•
Use the tip of your finger to tap the option you want. Be careful not to tap any other
keys.
