Try not to hold, bend, or twist the device’s antenna. Don’t use the device if the antenna is damaged. Speak directly into the microphone.

  • Page 118: Maintaining Safe Use Of And Access To Your Device

    Maintaining Safe Use of and Access to Your Device Do Not Rely on Your Device’s Phone for Emergency Calls Wireless phones such as the one on your Treo device operate using radio signals, which cannot guarantee connection in all conditions. Therefore you should never rely solely upon any wireless phone for essential communication (for example, medical emergencies).
  • Page 119 RF signals. Also check with the manufacturer regarding any equipment that has been added to your vehicle. Consult the manufacturer of any personal medical devices, such as pacemakers and hearing aids, to determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF signals. Note: Always turn off the phone in health care facilities and request permission before using the phone near medical equipment.
  • Page 120 Note: Never transport or store flammable gas, flammable liquid, or explosives in the compartment of your vehicle that contains your phone or accessories. Restricting Children’s Access to Your Device Your Treo device is not a toy. Do not allow children to play with it; they could hurt themselves and others, damage the device and/or its phone, or make calls that increase your Sprint PCS invoice.

  • Page 122 Thus, if you pair an M3 hearing aid with an M3 phone, you will have a combined rating of six for “best use.” Sprint further suggests you experiment with multiple phones (even those not labeled M3 or M4) while in the store to find the one that works best with your hearing aid device. Should you experience interference after purchasing your phone, promptly return it to the store.
