Safety

General Precautions

There are several simple guidelines to operating your phone properly and maintaining safe,
satisfactory service.
Hold the phone with the antenna raised, fully-extended, and over your shoulder.
Try not to hold, bend, or twist the phone's antenna.
Don't use the phone if the antenna is damaged.
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.
Avoid dropping, hitting, bending, or sitting on it.
Any changes or modifications to your phone not expressly approved in this document could void
your warranty for this equipment and void your authority to operate this equipment.
Note: For the best care of your phone, only PCS-authorized personnel should service your phone and
accessories. Failure to do so may be dangerous and void your warranty.

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). Emergency calls may not be possible on all cellular networks or when certain
network services and/or mobile phone features are in use. Check with your local service provider for
details.
Using Your Phone While Driving
Talking on your phone while driving (or operating the phone without a hands-free device) is
prohibited in some jurisdictions. Laws vary as to specific restrictions. Remember that safety always
comes first.
Following Safety Guidelines
To operate your phone safely and efficiently, always follow any special regulations in a given area.
Turn your phone off in areas where use is forbidden or when it may cause interference or danger.
Using Your Phone Near Other Electronic Devices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from radiofrequency (RF) signals. However, RF
signals from wireless phones may affect inadequately shielded electronic equipment. RF signals may
affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic operating systems and/or
entertainment systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or their representative to
determine if these systems are adequately shielded from external 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.
