Radio Frequency Safety Exposure
General statement on Radio Frequency (RF) energy: Your phone contains a transmitter and a
receiver. When it is ON, it receives and transmits RF energy. When you communicate with your
phone, the system handling your call controls the power level at which your phone transmits.
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR): Your mobile device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is
designed not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio waves recommended by international
guidelines. These guidelines were developed by the independent scientific organization ICNIRP
and include safety margins designed to assure the protection of all persons, regardless of age
and health.
In order to certify this unit for sale in the US, Canada and Europe this unit has been tested for RF
exposure compliance at a qualified test laboratory and found to comply with the regulations
regarding exposure to RF Energy under the recommendations of the International Commission
on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP). The tests are preformed in positions and
locations as required by the FCC, IC, and The Council of the European Union for each model.
As SAR is measured utilizing the device’s highest transmitting power, the actual SAR of this
device while operating is typically below that indicated below. This is due to automatic changes
to the power level of the device to ensure it only uses the minimum power required to
communicate with the network.
The SAR limit for mobile devices set by FCC/IC is 1.6 W/kg averaged over 1 gram of tissue for
the body or head (4.0 W/kg averaged over 10 grams of tissue for the extremities – hands, wrists,
ankles, and feet).
The SAR limit recommended by The Council of the European Union is 2.0 W/kg averaged over
10 grams of tissue for the body or head (4.0 W/kg averaged over 10 grams of tissue for the
extremities – hands, wrists, ankles, and feet).

compliance and is intended for use with this product.
2 An accessory that contains NO metal (snaps, clips, etc.) and provides AT LEAST 1.5 cm
(0.6 in.) of separation between the user’s body and the unit.
Do NOT use the device in a manner such that it is in direct contact with the body (i.e., on the
lap or in a breast pocket). Such use will likely exceed the FCC RF safety exposure limits. See
w ww .f cc . go v/o e t/r f sa f et y for more information on RF exposure safety.
Body-worn operation: Important safety information regarding radio frequency (RF) radiation
exposure: To ensure compliance with RF exposure guidelines the phone must be used with a
minimum of 1.5 cm (0.6 in.) separation from the body. Failure to observe these instructions
could result in your RF exposure exceeding the relevant guideline limits.
Limiting exposure to radio frequency (RF) fields: For individuals concerned about limiting
their exposure to RF fields, the World Health Organization (WHO) provides the following
advice:
Precautionary measures: Present scientific information does not indicate the need for any
special precautions for the use of mobile phones. If individuals are concerned, they might
choose to limit their own or their children’s RF exposure by limiting the length of calls, or using
‘hands-free’ devices to keep mobile phones away from the head and body.

User Safety
Operational Warnings
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON SAFE AND EFFICIENT OPERATION. Read this information
before using your phone. For the safe and efficient operation of your phone, observe these
guidelines:
Potentially explosive atmospheres: Turn off your phone when you are in any areas with a
potentially explosive atmosphere, such as fueling areas (gas or petrol stations, below deck on
boats), storage facilities for fuel or chemicals, blasting areas and areas near electrical blasting
caps, and areas where there are chemicals or particles (such as metal powders, grains and dust)
in the air.
Interference to medical and personal Electronic Devices: Most but not all electronic
equipment is shielded from RF signals and certain electronic equipment may not be shielded
against the RF signals from your phone.
Pacemakers: The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum
separation of 15 centimeters be maintained between a phone and a pacemaker to avoid
potential interference with the pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with the
independent research by the recommendations of Wireless Technology Research.
Persons with pacemakers should:
• ALWAYS keep the phone more than 15 centimeters from their pacemaker when the phone
is turned ON.
• Not carry the phone in a breast pocket.
• Use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for interference.
• Turn the phone OFF immediately if you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking
place.
Audio Safety: This phone is capable of producing loud noises which may damage your
hearing. When using the speakerphone feature, it is recommended that you place your phone
at a safe distance from your ear.
Other Medical Devices, Hospitals: If you use any other personal medical device, consult the
manufacturer of your device to determine if it is 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.
Repetitive Motion Injuries: When using the keyboard or playing games on your phone, you
may experience discomfort in your neck, shoulders, hands, arms, of 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 phone:
• Do not grip the phone 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
Blackouts and Seizures: Blinking lights, such as those experienced with television or playing
video games may cause some people to experience blackout or seizure, even if never
experienced before. In the event a phone 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 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 phone 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 phone. Use of
your phone while on board an aircraft must be done in accordance and in compliance with
airline instructions and regulations.
Vehicles w it h A i r B a g s : Your phone 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
phone. Air bags will inflate with great force and care should be taken to protect yourself and
your phone within a vehicle that has air bags. Do not place a phone in the area over an air bag
or in the air bag deployment area. Store the phone 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 phone 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
52Regulatory and Safety Information
Page 53
damage the phone. Your phone 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 phone, 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
®
or other wireless devices). Exposure to very loud sound has
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
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.

representative to determine if these systems are adequately shielded from external RF energy.
Also check with the manufacturer of any equipment that has been added to the vehicle.
Driving Safety
Driving Safety Tips Overview
Always obey all laws and regulations on the use of the phone in your driving area.
Safety — Your most important call. The Wireless Industry reminds you to use your phone safely
when driving.
1 Get to know your phone 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 phone
while driving even with a hands-free accessory.
3 Position your phone 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 e-mail, 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 phone.
9 Use your phone to help others in emergencies.
10 Call roadside assistance or a special non-emergency wireless number when necessary.
Driving Safety Tips Details
1 Get to know your phone 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 phone
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 phone accessories are readily available
today. Whether you choose an installed mounted device for your phone 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 ability to hear
other sounds. Use of such a headset while operating a motor vehicle or riding 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 phone 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 e-mail, 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. Don’t 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 phone to call for help. Your phone is one of the greatest tools you can own to
protect yourself and your family in dangerous situations—with your phone 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 phone.
54Regulatory and Safety Information
Page 55
9 Use your phone 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
phone 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
can still hear outside traffic and emergency signals while driving. Driving while unable to hear
these sounds could cause an accident.
Let Your Judgment Prevail: The Device Software is only an aid. Make your driving decisions
based on your observations of local conditions and existing traffic regulations. The Device
Software is not a substitute for your personal judgment.
Use of Speech Recognition Functions: Speech recognition software is inherently a statistical
process which is subject to errors. It is your responsibility to monitor the speech recognition
functions and address any errors.
Hands-Free Capability

purchase of a compatible hands-free device, call 1-800-881-7256.
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 or battery contacts.
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 device, 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 Palm
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 device on 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.
• Increase the relative humidity of your environment.
• 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.
