Now plug the power cord into a standard electrical wall outlet.
An orange charge indicator light will go on and a lightning bolt icon will

appear over the battery icon in the title bar, indicating the charger is
connected and the battery is charging. If your device has discharged
completely, it may take up to 15 minutes before you see any indication of
charging on the screen. When the battery is fully charged, the indicator
light next to the charging port turns green. If any error occurs when
charging, the indicator light turns red.

3. Put the device in a safe place and let the battery charge for at least four
hours with the device powered on.

As the device is charging, the bars in the battery icon fill repeatedly from
left to right. When your device is fully charged, the lightning bolt icon will
disappear and the bars will stop moving and remain in the filled position.

Location Based Services

Location Based Services (LBS) is an implementation of GPS technology that
allows you to use the geographical position of your device for geotagging of
photos and mapping functions. Once you turn GPS on, your device will
automatically update your location at pre-set intervals. To turn GPS on:

1. Press JUMP then press MENU and select Location & Privacy.

2. Select GPS On: Show Location to show your location. Conversely, GPS
Off: Hide location hides your location.

You may experience decreased battery life when GPS is on.

9 Please note that certain challenging environments, for example many

indoor and outdoor locations such as urban areas surrounded by high­rises, may result in it taking longer for the device to triangulate your
location or potentially result in a failure to register your location at all.

When GPS is set to on, the camera will grab your last known location and
geotag your photos if you have opted to do so. To select photo geotagging,

navigate to the camera application, press MENU and Select Photo
Settings. Select the Turn geotagging on option.

Typically, you do not need to manage your LBS updates or settings. Reasons
to do so include wanting to manually start the location update process rather
than waiting for the device to automatically update, viewing your last known
location or changing your display unit preference. To manage these settings,
do the following:

1. Press JUMP then press MENU and select Location & Privacy.

2. Update location – Use this option to start a GPS update. This can also
be achieved by navigating to the Advanced menu.

3. Select the Advanced menu item to view the following:

• Last Known Location – Displays the coordinates of your last known

location, when the information was last updated and accuracy data.

• Permissions –Applications require permission to find your location.

Use this screen to change an applications’ permission status.

• Distance Display Unit – Select your distance display unit preference

(English Units or Metric Units).

9 When you enter the Advanced screen, the device GPS will

automatically attempt to get a location fix. It will continue to do so for
as long as you remain on the Advanced screen.

Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) Signals

THIS MODEL DEVICE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT’S REQUIREMENTS FOR
EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.

Your wireless device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and
manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio
frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission of
the U.S. Government and Industry Canada of the Canadian Government.
These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted
levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines are based on
standards that were developed by independent scientific organizations
through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The standards
include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all
persons, regardless of age and health.

The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a unit of
measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR.

The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are
associated with using low power wireless devices. There is no proof,
however, that these low power wireless devices are absolutely safe. Low
power Wireless devices emit low levels of radio frequency energy (RF) in the
microwave range while being used. Whereas high levels of RF can produce
health effects (by heating tissue), exposure to low-level RF that does not
produce heating effects causes no known adverse health effects. Many
studies of low-level RF exposures have not found any biological effects.
Some studies have suggested that some biological effects might occur, but
such findings have not been confirmed by additional research. In the United

52



States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile devices used by the public is

1.6 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue. The FCC has granted

an Equipment Authorization for this wireless device with all reported SAR
levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF emission guidelines. SAR
information for this device is on file with the FCC and can be found under the
Display Grant section of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching on FCC
ID: APYNAR0065 for the PV300G model (850/900/1700/1800/1900/2100
MHz).

9 For body-worn operation, to maintain compliance with FCC RF

exposure guidelines and IC RF exposure rules, keep the PV300G at
least 5/8 inch (15 mm) away from the body, and only use the carrying
cases, belt clips, or holders that do not have metal parts and that
maintain at least 5/8 inch (15mm) separation between the PV300G
and the body. When carrying the device on your person, it is
recommended to turn the screen display in toward the body in order
to minimize RF exposure and maximize antenna efficiency.

Hearing Aid Compatibility with Mobile Phones

When some mobile phones are used near some hearing devices (hearing
aids and cochlear implants), users may detect a buzzing, humming, or
whining noise. Some hearing devices are more immune than others to this
interference noise, and phones also vary in the amount of interference they
generate.

The wireless telephone industry has developed ratings for some of their
mobile phones, to assist hearing device users in finding phones that may be
compatible with their hearing devices. Not all phones have been rated.
Phones that are rated have the rating on their box or a label on the box.

The ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary depending on the user’s
hearing device and hearing loss. If your hearing device happens to be
vulnerable to interference, you may not be able to use a rated phone
successfully. Trying 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 and are likely to
generate less interference to hearing devices than phones that are not
labeled. 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 the better/higher of the two ratings.
(Note that not all hearing devices have telecoils in them.)

Hearing devices may also be measured for immunity to this type of
interference. Your hearing device manufacturer or hearing health

53



professional may help you find results for your hearing device. The more
immune your hearing aid is, the less likely you are to experience
interference noise from mobile phones.
