Touch screen tips

With the touch of your finger, you can access
available applications, make menu selections,
and access data saved to your phone. The
following terms are used for describing the
different available actions using the touch
screen:

Tap - 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 touching 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 touch
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 Web
page or a map. For example, quickly double­tap a section of a Web page to adjust that
section to fit the width of the screen. You
can also double-tap to zoom in and out when
using Maps.

Pinch-to-Zoom - Use your index finger and
thumb in a pinch or spread motion to zoom
in or out when using the browser, Maps, or
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 to press too hard; the touch screen

is sensitive enough to pick up a light, firm
touch.

Safety Guidelines

TIA Safety Information

Provided herein is the complete TIA Safety
Information for Wireless Handheld phones.
Inclusion of the text covering Pacemakers,
Hearing Aids, and Other Medical Devices
is required in the owner’s manual for CTIA
Certification. Use of the remaining TIA
language is encouraged when appropriate.

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.

Phone Operation

NORMAL POSITION: Hold the phone as you
would any other telephone with the antenna
pointed up and over your shoulder.

95

Safety Guidelines

Tips on Efficient Operation

For your phone to operate most efficiently:

Do not tap the antenna unnecessarily
when the phone is in use. Contact with the
antenna affects call quality and may cause
the phone to operate at a higher power level
than otherwise needed.

Driving

Check the laws and regulations on the use of
wireless phones in the areas where you drive.
Always obey them. Also, if using your phone
while driving, please:



Give 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 so
require.

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.

96

Pacemakers

The Health Industry Manufacturers Association
recommends that a minimum separation of six
(6’) inches be maintained between a handheld
wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid
potential interference with the pacemaker.
These recommendations are consistent with the
independent research by and recommendations
of Wireless Technology Research.

Persons with pacemakers:



Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than
six inches from their pacemaker when the
phone is turned ON;



Should not carry the phone in a breast
pocket.



Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker
to minimize the potential for interference.



If you have any reason to suspect that
interference is taking place, turn your
phone OFF immediately.

Hearing Aids

Some digital wireless phones may interfere
with some hearing aids. In the event of such
interference, you may want to consult AT&T.
