ENVIRONMENT
RESTRICTIONS
Do not use this product in gas
stations, fuel depots, chemical
plants or where blasting
operations are in progress, or in
potentially explosive atmospheres
such as fueling areas, fuel
storehouses, below deck on
boats, chemical plants, fuel or
chemical transfer or storage
facilities, and areas where the air
contains chemicals or particles,
such as grain, dust, or metal
powders. Please be aware that
sparks in such areas could cause
an explosion or fire resulting in
bodily injury or even death.
EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES
When in any area with a
potentially explosive atmosphere
or where flammable materials
exist, the product should be
turned off and the user should
obey all signs and instructions.
Sparks in such areas could cause
an explosion or fire resulting in
bodily injury or even death. Users
are advised not to use the
equipment at refueling points
such as service or gas stations,
and are reminded of the need to
observe restrictions on the use
of radio equipment in fuel
depots, chemical plants, or
where blasting operations are in
progress. Areas with a potentially
explosive atmosphere are often,
but not always, clearly marked.
These include fueling areas,
below deck on boats, fuel or
chemical transfer or storage
facilities, and areas where the air
contains chemicals or particles,
such as grain, dust, or metal
powders.
ROAD SAFETY
Vehicle drivers in motion are not
permitted to use communication
services with handheld devices,
except in the case of
emergency. In some countries,
using hands-free devices as an
alternative is allowed.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
FOR RF EXPOSURE
●
Avoid using your phone near
metal structures (for example,
the steel frame of a building).
●
Avoid using your phone near
strong electromagnetic
sources, such as microwave
ovens, sound speakers, TV
and radio.
Important Health Information and Safety Precautions
●
Use only original
manufacturer-approved
accessories, or accessories
that do not contain any metal.
●
Use of non-original
manufacturer-approved
accessories may violate your
local RF exposure guidelines
and should be avoided.
INTERFERENCE WITH
MEDICAL EQUIPMENT
FUNCTIONS
This product may cause medical
equipment to malfunction. The
use of this device is prohibited
in most hospitals and medical
clinics. If you use any personal
medical device(s), consult the
manufacturer of your device(s)
to determine if the device(s) are
adequately shielded from
external RF energy. Your
physician may be able to assist
you in obtaining this
information.
Turn your phone OFF in health
care facilities when any
regulations posted in these
areas instruct you to do so.
Hospitals or health care facilities
may be using equipment that
could be sensitive to external
RF energy.
HEARING AIDS
Some digital wireless phones
may interfere with some hearing
aids. In the event of such
interference, you may want to
consult your service provider, or
call the customer service line to
discuss alternatives.
NON-IONIZING RADIATION
Your device has an internal
antenna. This product should be
operated in its normal-use
position to ensure the radiative
performance and safety from
interference. As with other
mobile radio transmitting
equipment, users are advised
that for satisfactory operation of
the equipment and for personal
safety, it is recommended that
no part of the human body be
allowed to come too close to
the antenna during operation of
the equipment.
Use only the supplied integral
antenna. Use of unauthorized or
modified antennas may impair
call quality and damage the
phone, causing loss of
performance and SAR levels
exceeding the recommended
limits as well as result in noncompliance with local regulatory
requirements in your country.
5
Important Health Information and Safety Precautions
6
To assure optimal phone
performance and ensure human
exposure to RF energy is within
the guidelines set forth in the
relevant standards, always use
your device only in its normaluse position. Contact with the
antenna area may impair call
quality and cause your device to
operate at a higher power level
than needed. Avoiding contact
with the antenna area when the
phone is in use optimizes the
antenna performance and the
battery life.
HAC
This phone has been tested and
rated for use with hearing aids
for some of the wireless
technologies that it uses.
However, there may be some
newer wireless technologies
used in this phone that have not
been tested yet for use with
hearing aids.
It is important to try the
different features of this phone
thoroughly and in different
locations, using your hearing aid
or cochlear implant, to
determine if you hear any
interfering noise.
Consult your service provider or
the manufacturer of this phone
for information on hearing aid
compatibility.
If you have questions about
return or exchange policies,
consult your service provider or
phone retailer.

operating the phone.
Read this information before
In August 1996, the Federal
Communications Commission
(FCC) of the 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 those
international standards.

Bodily Contact During Operation
This device was tested for
typical use with the back of the
phone kept 0.79 inches (2.0 cm)
from the body. To comply with
FCC RF exposure requirements,
a minimum separation distance
of 0.79 inches (2.0 cm) must be
maintained between the user
’
s
body and the back of the phone,
including the antenna. Thirdparty belt-clips, holsters, and
similar accessories containing
metallic components should not
be used. Avoid the use of
accessories that cannot
maintain 0.79 inches (2.0 cm)
distance between the user’s
body and the back of the phone
and have not been tested for
compliance with FCC RF
exposure limits.
Vehicle-Mounted External
Antenna
(Optional, if available.)
To satisfy FCC RF exposure
requirements, keep 8 inches (20
cm) between the user /
bystander and vehicle-mounted
external antenna. For more
information about RF exposure,
visit the FCC website at
www.fcc.gov.
FCC Notice and Cautions

accessories must accept any
interference received, including
interference that causes
undesired operation.
Any changes or modifications not
expressly approved in this user
guide could void your warranty
for this equipment. Use only the
supplied antenna. Use of
unauthorized antennas (or
modifications to the antenna)
could impair call quality, damage
the phone, void your warranty
and/or violate FCC regulations.
’
t use the phone with a
Don
damaged antenna. A damaged
antenna could cause a minor skin
burn. Contact your local dealer

Part 15.105 statement
This equipment has been tested
and found to comply with the
limits for a class B digital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of
the FCC rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful
interference in a residential
installation. This equipment
generates, uses, and can radiate
radio frequency energy and, if
not installed and used in
accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio
communications. However,
there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If you
experience interference with
reception (e.g., television),
determine if this equipment is
causing the harmful interference
by turning the equipment off
and then back on to see if the
interference is affected. If
necessary, try correcting the
interference by one or more of
the following measures:
- Reorient or relocate the
receiving antenna.
- Increase the separation
between the equipment and
receiver.
- Connect the equipment into an
outlet on a circuit different
from that to which the receiver
is connected.
- Consult the dealer or an
experienced radio/TV
technician for help.
