Important Safety Information In This Section General Precautions Maintaining Safe Use of and Access to Your Phone Caring for the Battery Using Your Phone With a Hearing Aid Device Radio Frequency (RF) Energy Owner’s Record Phone Guide Proprietary Notice This phone guide contains important operational and safety information that will help you safely use your phone.
General Precautions There are several simple guidelines to operating your phone properly and maintaining safe, satisfactory service. Speak directly into the mouthpiece. Avoid exposing your phone and accessories to rain or liquid spills. If your phone does get wet, immediately turn the power off and remove the battery. Although your phone is quite sturdy, it is a complex piece of equipment and can be broken.
Maintaining Safe Use of and Access to Your Phone Do Not Rely on Your Phone for Emergency Calls Mobile phones operate using radio signals, which cannot guarantee connection in all conditions. Therefore you should never rely solely upon any mobile phone for essential communication (e.g., medical emergencies).
Turning Off Your Phone in Dangerous Areas To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your phone off when in a blasting area or in other areas with signs indicating two-way radios should be turned off. Construction crews often use remote-control RF devices to set off explosives. Turn your phone off when you’re in any area that has a potentially explosive atmosphere.
Caring for the Battery Protecting Your Battery The guidelines listed below help you get the most out of your battery’s performance. Recently, there have been some public reports of wireless phone batteries overheating, catching fire, or exploding. It appears that many, if not all, of these reports involve counterfeit or inexpensive, aftermarket-brand batteries with unknown or questionable manufacturing standards.
