For Safe installation
• Do not put your phone in a location that obstructs
the drivers vision or interferes with the operation of
the Vehicle.
• Do not cover an airbag.
Safety on the Road
Do not take notes or use the device while driving.
Jotting down a “to do” list or flipping through your
address book takes attention away from your primary
responsibility, driving safely.
When driving a car, driving is your first responsibility Give full attention to driving. Check the laws and
regulations on the use of wireless devices in the areas
where you drive. Always obey them.
When using a wireless device behind the wheel of a
car, practice good common sense and remember the
following tips:
1. Get to know your wireless device and any features
such as speed dial and redial. If available, these
features help you to place your call without taking
your attention off the road.
2. When available, use a hands free device.
3. Let the person you are speaking with know you are
driving; if necessary, suspend the call in heavy traffic
or hazardous weather conditions. Rain, sleet, snow,
ice, and even heavy traffic can be hazardous.
4. Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place
calls when you are not moving or before pulling into
traffic. Try to plan calls when your car will be
stationary. If you need to make a call while moving,
dial only a few numbers, check the road and your
mirrors, then continue.
5. Do not engage in stressful or emotional
conversations that may be distracting. Make people
you are talking with aware you are driving and
suspend conversations that have the potential to
divert your attention from the road.
6. Use your wireless phone to call for help. Dial the
Emergency services, (9-1-1 in the US, and 1-1-2 in
Europe) or other local emergency number in the
case of fire, traffic accident or medical emergencies.
Remember, it is a free call on your wireless phone!
The call can be made regardless of any security
codes and depending on a network, with or without a
SIM card inserted.
7. Use your wireless 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 the Emergency Services, (9-1-1 in
the US, and 1-1-2 in Europe) or other local
emergency number, as you would want others to do
for you.
8. Call roadside assistance or a special nonemergency wireless assistance number when
necessary. 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.
“The wireless industry reminds you to use your device /
phone safely when driving”.

Use with Hearing Aids - FCC
When some wireless devices 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 wireless devices
also vary in the amount of interference they generate.
In the event of interference, you may want to consult
your hearing aid supplier to discuss solutions.
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. Zebra terminals that are rated have the rating
included on the Declaration of Conformity (DoC) at
http://www.zebra.com/doc.
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.
ANSI C63.19 Rating System
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 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.
Hearing Aid Compatibility
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.
This phone has been tested to ANSI C63.19 and rated
