Maintaining Safe Use of and Access to Your Phone

General Precautions

There are several simple guidelines to operating your phone
properly and maintaining safe, satisfactory service.

䢇

To maximize performance, do not touch the bottom portion
of your phone where the internal antenna is located while
using the phone.

䢇

Speak directly into the mouthpiece.

䢇

Avoid exposing your phone and accessories to rain or liquid

Maintaining Safe Use of and Access
to Your Phone

Do Not Rely on Your Phone for Emergency Calls

Mobile phones operate using radio signals, which cannot
guarantee connection in all conditions. Therefore you should
never rely solely upon any mobile phone for essential
communication (e.g., medical emergencies). Emergency calls

frequency (RF) signals. However, RF signals from wireless
phones may affect inadequately shielded electronic
equipment.

RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately
shielded electronic operating systems or entertainment
systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or their
representative to determine if these systems are adequately
shielded from external RF signals. Also check with the
manufacturer regarding any equipment that has been added to

indicating two-way radios should be turned off. Construction
crews often use remote-control RF devices to set off explosives.

Turn your phone off when you’re in any area that has a
potentially explosive atmosphere. Although it’s rare, your phone
and accessories could generate sparks. Sparks can cause an
explosion or fire, resulting in bodily injury or even death. These
areas are often, but not always, clearly marked. They include:

Fueling areas such as gas stations.

Using Your Phone With a Hearing
Aid Device

A number of Boost phones have been tested for hearing aid
device compatibility. When some wireless phones are used
with certain hearing devices (including hearing aids and
cochlear implants), users may detect a noise which can
interfere with the effectiveness of the hearing device.

out the phone with your hearing device is the best way to
evaluate it for your personal needs.

M-Ratings

: Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements for
hearing aid compatibility and are likely to generate less
interference to hearing devices than unrated phones. (M4 is the
better/higher of the two ratings.)

T-Ratings

: Phones rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements and
are likely to be more usable with a hearing device’s telecoil
(“T Switch” or “Telephone Switch”) than unrated phones. (T4 is

Thus, if you pair an M3 hearing aid with an M3 phone, you will
have a combined rating of six for “excellent use.” This is
synonymous for T ratings.

Boost further suggests you experiment with multiple phones
(even those not labeled M3/T3 or M4/T4) while in the store to
find the one that works best with your hearing aid device. More
information about hearing aid compatibility may be found at:

Caring for the Battery

Protecting Your Battery

The guidelines listed below help you get the most out of your
battery’s performance.

䢇

Recently there have been some public reports of wireless
phone batteries overheating, catching fire, or exploding. It
appears that many, if not all, of these reports involve
counterfeit or inexpensive, aftermarket-brand batteries with

䢇

It’s best to replace the battery when it no longer provides
acceptable performance. It can be recharged hundreds of
times before it needs replacing.

䢇

Don’t store the battery in high temperature areas for long
periods of time. It’s best to follow these storage rules:

䡲

Less than one month:

-4° F to 140° F (-20° C to 60° C)

䡲

More than one month:

-4° F to 113° F (-20° C to 45° C)

Knowing Radio Frequency Safety

The design of your phone complies with updated NCRP
standards described below.

In 1991–92, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers
(IEEE) and the American National Standards Institute (ANSI)
joined in updating ANSI’s 1982 standard for safety levels with
respect to human exposure to RF signals. More than 120
scientists, engineers and physicians from universities,
government health agencies and industries developed this

Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) for Wireless
Phones

The SAR value corresponds to the relative amount of RF
energy absorbed into the head of a user of a wireless handset.

The SAR value of a phone is the result of an extensive testing,
measuring and calculation process. It does not represent how
much RF the phone emits. All phone models are tested at their
highest value in strict laboratory settings. But when in

FCC Notice

However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur
in a particular installation.

If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by turning the
equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct
the interference by one or more of the following measures:

䢇

Reorient the direction of the internal antenna.

䢇

Increase the separation between the equipment and
receiver.
