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 in adequately 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 68 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.
9
For Your Safety
] Do not dispose of your battery by fire or with
hazardous or flammable materials.
] Make sure that no sharp-edged items 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.
] Do not handle the phone with wet hands while it is
being charged. It may cause an electric shock or
seriously damage your phone.
] Do not disassemble the phone.
10
For Your Safety
] Do not place or answer calls while charging the

and its accessories. Faulty installation or service
may result in accidents and consequently invalidate
the warranty.

your body during a call.
] An emergency call can be made only within a
service area. For an emergency call, make sure that
you are within a service area and that the phone is

FCC RF Exposure Information
WARNING! Read this information before operating the
phone.
In August 1996, the Federal Communications (FCC) of
he United States, with its action in Report and Order
FCC 96-326, adopted an updated safety standard for
human exposure to radio frequency (RF)
electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC regulated
transmitters. Those guidelines are consistent with the
safety standard previously set by both U.S. and
international standards bodies.
The design of this phone complies with the FCC
guidelines and these international standards.
CAUTION
Use only the supplied and approved antenna. Use of
unauthorized antennas or modifications could impair call
quality, damage the phone, void your warranty and/or
result in violation of FCC regulations. Do not use the
phone with a damaged antenna. If a damaged antenna
comes into contact with skin, a minor burn may result.
Contact your local dealer for a replacement antenna.
11
For Your Safety
Body-worn Operation
This device was tested for typical body-worn
operations with the back of the phone kept 0.6 inches
(1.5cm) between the user’s body and the back of the
phone. To comply with FCC RF exposure requirements,
a minimum separation distance of 0.6 inches(1.5cm)
must be maintained between the user s body and the
back of the phone. Third-party belt-clips, holsters, and
similar accessories containing metallic components
should not be used. Body-worn accessories that
cannot maintain 0.6 inches(1.5cm) separation distance
between the user's body and the back of the phone,
and have not been tested for typical body-worn
operations may not comply with FCC RF exposure limits
and should be avoided.
Vehicle Mounted External Antenna
(optional, if available)
A minimum separation distance of 8 inches (20cm)
must be maintained between the user/bystander and
the vehicle mounted external antenna to satisfy FCC RF
exposure requirements. For more information about RF
exposure, visit the FCC website at www.fcc.gov
FCC Part 15 Class B Compliance
This device and its accessories comply with part 15 of
FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions:
(1) This device and its accessories may not cause
harmful interference, and (2) this device and its
accessories must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired
operation.
Cautions for Battery
] Do not disassemble.
] Do not short-circuit.
] Do not expose to high temperature: 60°C (140°F).]
] Do not incinerate.
Battery Disposal
] Please dispose of your battery properly or bring to
your local wireless carrier for recycling.

flammable materials.
12
For Your Safety
Adapter (Charger) Cautions
] Using the wrong battery charger could damage your
phone and void your warranty.
] The adapter or battery charger is intended for
indoor use only.
Do not expose the adapter or battery charger to direct
sunlight or use it in places with high humidity, such as
the bathroom.
Avoiding hearing damage
Permanent hearing loss may occur if you use your
phone and/or headset at a high volume. Set the
volume to a safe level. You can adapt over time to a
higher volume of sound that may sound normal but can
be damaging to your hearing. If you experience ringing
in your ears or muffled speech, stop listening and have
your hearing checked. The louder the volume, the less
time is required before your hearing could be affected.
Hearing experts suggest that to protect your hearing:
] Limit the amount of time you use your phone and/or
headset at high volume.
] Avoid turning up the volume to block out noisy
surroundings.
] Turn the volume down if you can’t hear people
speaking near you.
For information about how to set a maximum volume
limit on your phone, see the features guide for your
phone.
Using your phone safely
Use of your phone while operating a vehicle is not
recommended and is illegal in some areas. Be careful
and attentive while driving. Stop using your phone if
you find it disruptive or distracting while operating any
type of vehicle or performing any other activity that
requires your full attention.
