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 a snowstorm 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 95 before using your phone.
