you may experience discomfort in your neck, shoulders, hands, arms, or other parts of the body. To avoid any injury, such as tendonitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, or other musculoskeletal disorder, make sure to take necessary breaks from use, take longer rests (such as several hours) if discomfort or tiring begins, and see a doctor if discomfort persists. To minimize the risk of Repetitive Motion Injuries, when texting or playing games with your smartphone:
• Do not grip the smartphone too tightly
• Press the buttons lightly
• Make use of the special features in the handset which minimize the number of buttons which have to be pressed, such as message templates and predictive text
• Take lots of breaks to stretch and relax
254 Regulatory and Safety Information
Blackouts and Seizures: Blinking lights, such as those experienced with television or playing
FSO Draft HP Confidential 122110
video games may cause some people to experience blackout or seizure, even if never experienced before. In the event a smartphone user should experience any disorientation, loss of awareness, convulsion, eye or muscle twitching, or other involuntary movements, stop use immediately and consult a doctor. Individuals with personal or family history of such events should consult a doctor before using the device. To limit the possibility of such symptoms, wherever possible every hour take a minimum break of 15 minutes, use in a well lighted area, view the screen from the farthest distance, and avoid exposure to blinking lights if you are tired.
Operating Machinery: Do not use your smartphone while operating machinery. Full attention
must be given to operating the machinery in order to reduce the risk of an accident.
Aircraft: While in aircraft, follow all instructions regarding the operation of your smartphone.
Use of your smartphone while on board an aircraft must be done in accordance and in compliance with airline instructions and regulations.
Vehicles with Air Bags: Your smartphone should not be placed in a position that would affect
the operation of air bag deployment or in a position that, should the air bag inflate, could propel the smartphone. Air bags will inflate with great force and care should be taken to protect yourself and your smartphone within a vehicle that has air bags. Do not place a smartphone in the area over an air bag or in the air bag deployment area. Store the smartphone safely before driving the vehicle.
Hearing Aids: People with hearing aids or cochlear implants may experience interfering noises
when using wireless devices or when one is nearby. The level of interference will depend on the type of hearing device and the distance from the interference source. Increasing the separation between them may reduce the interference. You may also consult your hearing aid manufacturer to discuss alternatives.
Small children: Do not leave your smartphone and its accessories within the reach of small
children or allow them to play with it. They could hurt themselves or others, or could accidentally damage the smartphone. Your smartphone contains small parts with sharp edges that may cause an injury or which could become detached and create a choking hazard.
Keep the device away from the abdomens of pregnant women and adolescents, particularly when using the device hands-free.
To reduce exposure to radiation, use your device in good reception areas, as indicated by the bars on your smartphone, at least 3 to 4 bars.
Caution: Avoid potential hearing loss
Prolonged exposure to loud sounds (including music) is the most common cause of preventable hearing loss. Some scientific research suggests that using portable audio devices, such as portable music players and cellular telephones, at high volume settings for long durations may lead to permanent noise-induced hearing loss. This includes the use of headphones (including headsets, ear buds, and Bluetooth also been associated in some studies with tinnitus (a ringing in the ear), hypersensitivity to sound, and distorted hearing. Individual susceptibility to noise-induced hearing loss and other potential hearing problems varies. The amount of sound produced by a portable audio device varies depending on the nature of the sound, the device, the device settings, and the
®
or other wireless devices). Exposure to very loud sound has
headphones. You should follow some common sense recommendations when using any portable audio device:
• Set the volume in a quiet environment and select the lowest volume at which you can hear adequately.
• When using headphones, turn the volume down if you cannot hear the people speaking near you or if the person sitting next to you can hear what you are listening to.
• Do not turn the volume up to block out noisy surroundings. If you choose to listen to your portable device in a noisy environment, use noise-cancelling headphones to block out background environmental noise.
• Limit the amount of time you listen. As the volume increases, less time is required before your hearing could be affected.
• Avoid using headphones after exposure to extremely loud noises, such as rock concerts, that might cause temporary hearing loss. Temporary hearing loss might cause unsafe volumes to sound normal.
• Do not listen at any volume that causes you discomfort. If you experience ringing in your ears, hear muffled speech, or experience any temporary hearing difficulty after listening to your portable audio device, discontinue use and consult your doctor.

Driving Safety
Driving Safety Tips Overview
Always obey all laws and regulations on the use of the smartphone in your driving area.
Safety–Your most important call. The Wireless Industry reminds you to use your smartphone safely when driving.
1 Get to know your smartphone and its features, such as speed-dial and redial. 2 Use a hands-free device where it is allowed. In some areas, you may not use your
smartphone while driving even with a hands-free accessory.
3 Position your smartphone within easy reach. 4 Let the person you are speaking to know you are driving; if necessary, suspend the call in
heavy traffic or hazardous weather conditions.
5 Do not take notes, look up phone numbers, read/write email, or surf the Internet while
driving.
6 Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place calls when you are not moving or before
pulling into traffic.
7 Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that may divert your attention from
the road.
8 Dial your national emergency number to report serious emergencies. This is a free call from
your smartphone.
9 Use your smartphone to help others in emergencies. 10 Call roadside assistance or a special non-emergency wireless number when necessary.
Driving Safety Tip Details
1 Get to know your smartphone and its features such as speed-dial and redial. Carefully read
your instruction manual and learn to take advantage of valuable features most phone models
offer, including automatic redial and memory dial. Also, work to memorize the smartphone
keyboard so you can use the speed-dial function without taking your attention off the road.
2 Use a hands-free device. A number of hands-free smartphone accessories are readily
available today. Whether you choose an installed mounted device for your smartphone or a
speakerphone accessory, take advantage of these devices. If driving while using a phone is
permitted in your area, we recommend using a phone headset or a hands-free car kit (sold
separately). However, be aware that use of a headset that covers both ears impairs your
256 Regulatory and Safety Information
ability to hear other sounds. Use of such a headset while operating a motor vehicle or riding
FSO Draft HP Confidential 122110
a bicycle may create a serious hazard to you and/or others, and may be illegal. If you must use a stereo headset while driving, place a speaker in only one ear. Leave the other ear free to hear outside noises, and do so only if it is legal and you can do so safely.
3 Make sure you place your smartphone within easy reach and where you can grab it without
removing your eyes from the road. If you get an incoming call at an inconvenient time, let your voicemail answer it for you.
4 Suspend conversations during hazardous driving conditions or situations. Let the person you
are speaking to know you are driving; if necessary, suspend the call in heavy traffic or hazardous weather conditions. Rain, sleet, snow, and ice can be hazardous, but so is heavy traffic. As a driver, your first responsibility is to pay attention to the road.
5 Do not take notes, look up phone numbers, read/write email, or surf the Internet while
driving. If you are reading an address book or business card while driving a car, or writing a to-do list, then you are not watching where you are going. It's common sense. Do not get caught in a dangerous situation because you are reading or writing and not paying attention to the road or nearby vehicles.
6 Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place calls when you are not moving or before
pulling into traffic. Try to plan your calls before you begin your trip, or attempt to schedule your calls with times you may be temporarily stopped or otherwise stationary. But if you need to dial while driving, follow this simple tip: dial only a few numbers, check the road and your mirrors, then continue.
7 Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that may be distracting. Stressful or
emotional conversations and driving do not mix—they are distracting and even dangerous when you are behind the wheel. Make people you are talking with aware you are driving and if necessary, suspend phone conversations which have the potential to divert your attention from the road.
8 Use your smartphone to call for help. Your smartphone is one of the greatest tools you can
own to protect yourself and your family in dangerous situations-with your smartphone at your side, help is only three numbers away. Dial your national emergency number in the case of fire, traffic accident, road hazard, or medical emergencies. Remember, your national emergency number is a free call on your smartphone.
9 Use your smartphone to help others in emergencies. If you see an auto accident, crime in
progress, or other serious emergency where lives are in danger, call your national emergency number, as you would want others to do for you.
10 Call roadside assistance or a special wireless non-emergency assistance number when
necessary. Certain situations you encounter while driving may require attention, but are not urgent enough to merit a call to your national emergency number. But you can still use your smartphone to lend a hand. If you see a broken-down vehicle posing no serious hazard, a broken traffic signal, a minor traffic accident where no one appears injured, or a vehicle you know to be stolen, call roadside assistance or other special non-emergency wireless number.
General Operation
Prolonged Views of Screen: If you are driving, do not access any function requiring a
prolonged view of the screen. Pull over in a safe and legal manner before attempting to access a function of the system requiring prolonged attention. Even occasional short scans to the screen may be hazardous if your attention has been diverted away from your driving task at a critical time.
Volume Setting: Do not raise the volume excessively. Keep the volume at a level where you

ESD Safety
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause damage to electronic devices if discharged into the device, so you should take steps to avoid such an occurrence. Do not touch the SIM card’s metal connectors.
Description of ESD
Static electricity is an electrical charge caused by the buildup of excess electrons on the surface of a material. To most people, static electricity and ESD are nothing more than annoyances. For example, after walking over a carpet while scuffing your feet, building up electrons on your body, you may get a shock—the discharge event—when you touch a metal doorknob. This little shock discharges the built-up static electricity.
ESD-susceptible equipment
Even a small amount of ESD can harm circuitry, so when working with electronic devices, take measures to help protect your electronic devices, including your Palm smartphones, from ESD harm. While Palm has built protections against ESD into its products, ESD unfortunately exists and, unless neutralized, could build up to levels that could harm your equipment. Any electronic device that contains an external entry point for plugging in anything from cables to docking stations is susceptible to entry of ESD. Devices that you carry with you, such as your device, build up ESD in a unique way because the static electricity that may have built up on your body is automatically passed to the device. Then, when the device is connected to another device such as a docking station, a discharge event can occur.
Precautions against ESD
Make sure to discharge any built-up static electricity from yourself and your electronic devices before touching an electronic device or connecting one device to another. The recommendation from Palm is that you take this precaution before connecting your device to your computer, placing the smartphone in a docking station, or connecting it to any other device. You can do this in many ways, including the following:
• Ground yourself when you’re holding your mobile device by simultaneously touching a metal
surface that is at earth ground. For example, if your computer has a metal case and is
plugged into a standard three-prong grounded outlet, touching the case should discharge
the ESD on your body.

• Install ESD-specific prevention items, such as grounding mats.
Conditions that enhance ESD occurrences
Conditions that can contribute to the buildup of static electricity in the environment include the following:
•Low relative humidity.
• Material type. (The type of material gathering the charge. For example, synthetics are more prone to static buildup than natural fibers like cotton.)
• The rapidity with which you touch, connect, or disconnect electronic devices.
While you should always take appropriate precautions to discharge static electricity, if you are in an environment where you notice ESD events, you may want to take extra precautions to protect your electronic equipment against ESD.
