Page 162: Waterproof Capability
Restricting Children’s Access to Your Phone Your phone is not a toy. Do not allow children to play with it as they could hurt themselves and others, damage the phone, make inadvertent emergency calls, or make other calls that may impact your Boost Mobile account. Waterproof Capability Your Hydro EDGE is waterproof for up to 30 minutes at a depth not exceeding one meter (about 3.25 feet). Exposing your phone to water outside these limits or not following the precautions can result in water damage. To ensure that your phone maintains waterproof capability, the following precautions must be observed. Make sure the battery cover is properly sealed. The charger/accessory jack and headphone jack have no covers but they are waterproof. Do not spray or immerse your phone in liquids other than fresh water or tap water. Do not expose your phone to water heated in excess of 104°F (40°C), or to liquids other than water, such as detergent, beverages, or chlorinated or treated water.

Page 163: Using Your Phone With A Hearing Aid Device
Using Your Phone With a Hearing Aid Device A number of Boost Mobile phones have been tested for hearing aid device compatibility. When some wireless phones are used with certain hearing devices (including hearing aids and cochlear implants), users may detect a noise which can interfere with the effectiveness of the hearing device. Some hearing devices are more immune than others to this interference noise, and phones also vary in the amount of interference noise they may generate. ANSI standard C63.19 was developed to provide a standardized means of measuring both wireless phone and hearing devices to determine usability rating categories for both. Ratings have been developed for mobile phones to assist hearing device users find phones that may be compatible with their hearing device. Not all phones have been rated for compatibility with hearing devices. Phones that have been rated have a label located on the box. Your Hydro EDGE has an M4 and a T4 rating. These ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary depending on the user’s hearing device and individual type and degree of hearing loss. If a hearing device is particularly vulnerable to interference noise, even a phone with a higher rating may still cause unacceptable noise levels in the hearing device. 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 for hearing aid compatibility and are likely to generate less interference to hearing devices than unrated phones. (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.) Note: 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 ...
Page 164: Caring For The Battery
Boost Mobile further suggests you experiment with multiple phones (even those not labeled M3/T3 or M4/T4) while in the store to find the one that works best with your hearing aid device. Should you experience interference or find the quality of service unsatisfactory after purchasing your phone, promptly return it to the store. More information about hearing aid compatibility may be found at: http://www.fcc.gov, http://www.fda.gov, and http://www.accesswireless.org. Getting the Best Hearing Device Experience With Your Phone To further minimize interference, move the phone around to find the point with least interference. Caring for the Battery Care for your phone's 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. Boost Mobile is not aware of similar problems with Boost Mobile phones resulting from the proper use of batteries and accessories approved by the manufacturer of your phone. Use only manufacturer-approved batteries and accessories found　 through your phone’s manufacturer. Buying the right batteries and accessories is the best way to ensure they’re genuine and safe. Do not disassemble or open, crush, bend or deform, puncture or shred the battery. Do not modify or remanufacture, attempt to insert foreign objects into the battery, immerse or expose to water or other liquids, expose to fire, explosion or other hazard. Avoid dropping the phone or battery. If the phone or battery is dropped, especially on a hard ...

The battery may need recharging if it has not been used for a long period of time. It’s best to replace the battery when it no longer provides acceptable performance. It can be recharged hundreds of times before it needs replacing. Storing Don’t store the battery in high temperature areas for long periods of time. It’s best to follow these storage rules: Less than one month: -4°F to 140°F (-20°C to 60°C) More than one month: -4°F to 113°F (-20°C to 45°C) Disposal of Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) Batteries Promptly dispose of used batteries in accordance with local regulations. Never dispose of the battery by incineration. Do not handle a damaged or leaking Li-Ion battery as you can be burned. For safe disposal options of your Li-Ion batteries, contact your nearest Boost authorized service center. Special Note: Be sure to dispose of your battery properly. In some areas, the disposal of batteries in household or business trash may be prohibited.

Page 166: Specific Absorption Rates (Sar) For Wireless Phones
Body-Worn Operation To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines, if you wear a handset on your body, use a Boost Mobile-supplied or Boost Mobile-approved carrying case, holster or other body-worn accessory. If you do not use a body-worn accessory, ensure the antennas are at least 0.39 inches (1.0 centimeter) from your body when transmitting. Use of non-Boost Mobile-approved accessories may violate FCC RF exposure guidelines. Other accessories used with this phone for body-worn operations must not contain any metallic components and must provide at least 0.39 inches (1.0 centimeter) separation distance between the antennas and the user’s body. For more information about RF exposure, visit the FCC website at http://www.fcc.gov. Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) for Wireless Phones The SAR is a value that corresponds to the relative amount of RF energy absorbed into the head of a user of a wireless handset. The SAR value of a phone is the result of an extensive testing, measuring and calculation process. It does not represent how much RF the phone emits. All phone models are tested at their highest value in strict laboratory settings. But when in operation, the SAR of a phone can be substantially less than the level reported to the FCC. This is because of a variety of factors including its proximity to a base station antenna, phone design and other factors. What is important to remember is that each phone meets strict federal guidelines. Variations in SARs do not represent a variation in safety. All phones must meet the federal standard, which incorporates a substantial margin of safety. As stated above, variations in SAR values between different model phones do not mean variations in safety. SAR values at or below the federal standard of 1.6 W/kg are considered safe for use by the public. The highest reported SAR values of the Hydro EDGE are: Head: 1.48 W/kg Body-worn: 1.35 W/kg FCC Radio Frequency Emission This phone meets the FCC Radio Frequency Emission Guidelines.
