Radio Frequency Safety Exposure
General statement on Radio Frequency (RF) energy: Your
phone contains a transmitter and a receiver. When it is ON,
![](/img.php?id=1106122&img=bgc.png)
12
it receives and transmits RF energy. When you communicate
with your phone, the system handling your call controls the
power level at which your phone transmits.
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR): Your mobile device is a
radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed not to exceed
the limits for exposure to radio waves recommended by
international guidelines. These guidelines were developed
by the independent scientific organization ICNIRP and
include safety margins designed to assure the protection of
all persons, regardless of age and health.
In order to certify this unit for sale to the public, this
unit has been tested for RF exposure compliance at a
qualified test laboratory and found to comply with the
regulations regarding exposure to RF Energy under the
recommendations of the International Commission on
Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP). The tests are
preformed in positions and locations as required by the FCC
and IC for each model.
As SAR is measured utilizing the device’s highest
transmitting power, the actual SAR of this device while
operating is typically below that indicated below. This is
due to automatic changes to the power level of the device
to ensure it only uses the minimum power required to
communicate with the network.
The SAR limit for mobile devices set by FCC/IC is 1.6 W/kg
averaged over 1 gram of tissue for the body or head (4.0 W/
kg averaged over 10 grams of tissue for the extremities –
hands, wrists, ankles, and feet).
The highest reported SAR values of the Palm phone are:
Maximum scaled SAR values (W/kg) FCC
Head 0.919
Body 0.936
In order to comply with FCC and IC RF exposure safety
guidelines, users MUST use one of the following types of
body worn accessories:
1. A Palm® brand body-worn accessory that has been tested
for (specific absorption rate) SAR compliance and is
intended for use with this product.
2. An accessory that contains NO metal (snaps, clips, etc.)
and provides AT LEAST 1.5 cm (0.6 in.) of separation
between the user’s body and the unit.
Do NOT use the device in a manner such that it is in direct
contact with the body (i.e. on the lap or in a breast pocket).
![](/img.php?id=1106122&img=bgd.png)
13
Such use will likely exceed the FCC RF safety exposure
limits. See www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety for more information on
RF exposure safety.
To view the most recent SAR values of the Palm® Pre™, visit
www.palm.com/sarevdo-pre.
Body worn operation: Important safety information
regarding radio frequency (RF) radiation exposure: To ensure
compliance with RF exposure guidelines the phone must be
used with a minimum of 1.5 cm (0.6 in.) separation from the
body. Failure to observe these instructions could result in
your RF exposure exceeding the relevant guideline limits.
Limiting exposure to radio frequency (RF) fields: For
individuals concerned about limiting their exposure to RF
fields, the World Health Organization (WHO) provides the
following advice:
Precautionary measures: Present scientific information does
not indicate the need for any special precautions for the use
of mobile phones. If individuals are concerned, they might
choose to limit their own or their children’s RF exposure by
limiting the length of calls, or using ‘hands-free’ devices to
keep mobile phones away from the head and body.
Further information on this subject can be obtained from the
WHO home page
http://www.who.int/mediacentre/factsheets/fs193/en/index.html

temperatures that range from 32° F to 122° F (0° C to
50° C).
Don’t use the battery charger in direct sunlight or in high •
humidity areas, such as the bathroom.
![](/img.php?id=1106122&img=bgf.png)
15
Never dispose of the battery by incineration.•
Keep the metal contacts on top of the battery clean.•
Don’t attempt to disassemble or short-circuit the battery.•
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.
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)

areas where there are chemicals or particles (such as metal
powders, grains and dust) in the air.
Interference to medical and personal Electronic Devices:
Most but not all electronic equipment is shielded from
RF signals and certain electronic equipment may not be
shielded against the RF signals from your phone.

Pacemakers: The Health Industry Manufacturers Association
recommends that a minimum separation of 15 centimeters
(6 inches) be maintained between a phone and a pacemaker
to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. These
recommendations are consistent with the independent
research by the recommendations of Wireless Technology
Research.
Persons with pacemakers should:
ALWAYS keep the phone more than six inches (15 •
centimeters) from their pacemaker when the phone is
turned ON.
Not carry the phone in a breast pocket.•
Use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the •
potential for interference.
Turn the phone OFF immediately if you have any reason •
to suspect that interference is taking place.
Keep headsets away from pacemakers and other personal •
medical devices.
Other Medical Devices, Hospitals: If you use any other
personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of
your device to determine if it is adequately shielded from
external RF energy. Your physician may be able to assist you
in obtaining this information. Turn your phone OFF in health
care facilities when any regulations posted in these areas
instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may
be using equipment that could be sensitive to external RF
energy.
Repetitive Motion Injuries: When using the keyboard
or playing games on your phone, you may experience
discomfort in your neck, shoulders, hands, arms, of other
parts of the body. To avoid any injury, such as tendonitis,
carpal tunnel syndrome, or other musculoskeletal disorder,
make sure to take necessary breaks from use, take longer
rests (such as several hours) if discomfort or tiring begins,
and see a doctor if discomfort persists. To minimize the risk
of Repetitive Motion Injuries, when texting or playing games
with your phone:
Do not grip the phone too tightly•
Press the buttons lightly•
Make use of the special features in the handset which •
minimize the number of buttons which have to be
pressed, such as message templates and predictive text
Take lots of breaks to stretch and relax•
Blackouts and Seizures: Blinking lights, such as those
experienced with television or playing video games may
cause some people to experience blackout or seizure, even
![](/img.php?id=1106122&img=bg12.png)
18
if never experienced before. In the event a phone user
should experience any disorientation, loss of awareness,
convulsion, eye or muscle twitching or other involuntary
movements, stop use immediately and consult a doctor.
Individuals with personal or family history of such events
should consult a doctor before using the device. To limit
the possibility of such symptoms, wherever possible every
hour take a minimum of 15 minutes, use in a well lighted
area, view the screen from the farthest distance and avoid
exposure to blinking lights if you are tired.
Operating Machinery: Do not use your phone while
operating machinery. Full attention must be given to
operating the machinery in order to reduce the risk of an
accident.
Aircraft: While in aircraft, follow all instructions regarding the
operation of your phone. Use of your phone while on board
an aircraft must be done in accordance and in compliance
with airline instructions and regulations.
Vehicles with Air Bags Your phone should not be placed
in a position that would affect the operation of air bag
deployment or in a position that, should the air bag inflate,
could propel the phone. Air bags will inflate with great force
and care should be taken to protect within a vehicle that has
air bags. Do not place a phone in the area over an air bag
or in the air bag deployment area. Store the phone safely
before driving the vehicle.
Hearing Aids: People with hearing aids or other cochlear
implants may experience interfering noises when using
wireless devices or when one is nearby. The level of
interference will depend on the type of hearing device and
the distance from the interference source. Increasing the
separation between them may reduce the interference. You
may also consult your hearing aid manufacturer to discuss
alternatives.
Small children: Do not leave your phone and its accessories
within the reach of small children or allow them to play
with it. They could hurt themselves or others, or could
accidentally damage the phone. Your phone contains small
parts with sharp edges that may cause an injury or which
could become detached and create a choking hazard.
Keep the device away from the abdomens of pregnant
women and adolescents, particularly when using the device
hands-free.
To reduce exposure to radiation, use your device in good
reception areas, as indicated by the bars on your phone, at
least 3 to 4 bars.
![](/img.php?id=1106122&img=bg13.png)

Caution: avoid potential hearing loss
Prolonged exposure to loud sounds (including music)
is the most common cause of preventable hearing loss.
Some scientific research suggests that using portable
audio devices, such as portable music players and cellular
telephones, at high volume settings for long durations may
lead to permanent noise-induced hearing loss. This includes
the use of headphones (including headsets, ear buds and
Bluetooth® or other wireless devices). Exposure to very
loud sound has also been associated in some studies with
tinnitus (a ringing in the ear), hypersensitivity to sound and
distorted hearing. Individual susceptibility to noise-induced
hearing loss and other potential hearing problems varies.
The amount of sound produced by a portable audio device
varies depending on the nature of the sound, the device,
the device settings and the headphones. You should follow
some common sense recommendations when using any
portable audio device:
Set the volume in a quiet environment and select the •
lowest volume at which you can hear adequately.
When using headphones, turn the volume down if you •
cannot hear the people speaking near you or if the person
sitting next to you can hear what you are listening to.
Do not turn the volume up to block out noisy surroundings. •
If you choose to listen to your portable device in a noisy
environment, use noise-cancelling headphones to block
out background environmental noise.
Limit the amount of time you listen. As the volume •
increases, less time is required before your hearing could
be affected.
Avoid using headphones after exposure to extremely loud •
noises, such as rock concerts, that might cause temporary
hearing loss. Temporary hearing loss might cause unsafe
volumes to sound normal.
Do not listen at any volume that causes you discomfort. If •
you experience ringing in your ears, hear muffled speech
or experience any temporary hearing difficulty after
listening to your portable audio device, discontinue use
and consult your doctor.

external RF energy. Also check with the manufacturer of any
equipment that has been added to the vehicle.
DRIVING SAFETY
Driving Safety Tips Overview
Always obey all laws and regulations on the use of the
phone in your driving area.
Safety — Your most important call. The Wireless Industry
reminds you to use your phone safely when driving.
1. Get to know your phone and its features, such as speed-
dial and redial.
2. Use a hands-free device where it is allowed. In some
areas, you may not use your phone while driving even
with a hands-free accessory.
3. Position your phone within easy reach.
4. Let the person you are speaking to know you are driving;
if necessary, suspend the call in heavy traffic or hazardous
weather conditions.
5. Do not take notes, look up phone numbers, read/write
e-mail, or surf the internet while driving.
6. Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place calls
when you are not moving or before pulling into traffic.
7. Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations
that may divert your attention from the road.
8. Dial your national emergency number to report serious
emergencies. This is a free call from your phone.
9. Use your phone to help others in emergencies.
10.Call roadside assistance or a special non-emergency
wireless number when necessary.
Driving Safety Tips Details
1. Get to know your phone and its features such as
speed-dial and redial. Carefully read your instruction
manual and learn to take advantage of valuable features
most phone models offer, including automatic redial
and memory dial. Also, work to memorize the phone
keyboard so you can use the speed-dial function without
taking your attention off the road.
2. Use a hands-free device. A number of hands-free phone
accessories are readily available today. Whether you
choose an installed mounted device for your phone
or a speakerphone accessory, take advantage of these
devices. If driving while using a phone is permitted in
your area, we recommend using a phone headset or a
hands-free car kit (sold separately). However, be aware
that use of a headset that covers both ears impairs your
![](/img.php?id=1106122&img=bg17.png)
23
ability to hear other sounds. Use of such a headset while
operating a motor vehicle or riding a bicycle may create
a serious hazard to you and/or others, and may be illegal.
If you must use a stereo headset while driving, place a
speaker in only one ear. Leave the other ear free to hear
outside noises, and do so only if it is legal and you can
do so safely.
3. Make sure you place your phone within easy reach and
where you can grab it without removing your eyes from
the road. If you get an incoming call at an inconvenient
time, let your voicemail answer it for you.
4. Suspend conversations during hazardous driving
conditions or situations. Let the person you are speaking
to know you are driving; if necessary, suspend the call in
heavy traffic or hazardous weather conditions. Rain, sleet,
snow, and ice can be hazardous, but so is heavy traffic.
As a driver, your first responsibility is to pay attention to
the road.
5. Do not take notes, look up phone numbers, read/
write e-mail, or surf the internet while driving. If you are
reading an address book or business card while driving
a car, or writing a to-do list, then you are not watching
where you are going. It’s common sense. Do not get
caught in a dangerous situation because you are reading
or writing and not paying attention to the road or nearby
vehicles.
6. Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place
calls when you are not moving or before pulling into
traffic. Try to plan your calls before you begin your trip,
or attempt to schedule your calls with times you may be
temporarily stopped or otherwise stationary. But if you
need to dial while driving, follow this simple tip: dial only
a few numbers, check the road and your mirrors, then
continue.
7. Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations
that may be distracting. Stressful or emotional
conversations and driving do not mix—they are
distracting and even dangerous when you are behind the
wheel. Make people you are talking with aware you are
driving and if necessary, suspend phone conversations
which have the potential to divert your attention from the
road.
8. Use your phone to call for help. Your phone is one of the
greatest tools you can own to protect yourself and your
family in dangerous situations—with your phone at your
side, help is only three numbers away. Dial your national
emergency number in the case of fire, traffic accident,
road hazard, or medical emergencies. Remember, your
national emergency number is a free call on your phone.
![](/img.php?id=1106122&img=bg18.png)
24
9. Use your 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 your national
emergency number, as you would want others to do for
you.
10. Call roadside assistance or a special wireless non-
emergency assistance number when necessary. Certain
situations you encounter while driving may require
attention, but are not urgent enough to merit a call to
your national emergency number. But you can still use
your phone to lend a hand. 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.
General Operation
Voice Command Control: Many of the functions of the
Device Software can be accomplished using only voice
commands. Using voice commands while driving allows you
to initiate the command with a button and then operate the
Device mostly without removing your hands from the wheel.
Prolonged Views of Screen: If you are driving, do not access
any function requiring a prolonged view of the screen. Pull
over in a safe and legal manner before attempting to access
a function of the system requiring prolonged attention. Even
occasional short scans to the screen may be hazardous if
your attention has been diverted away from your driving task
at a critical time.
Volume Setting: Do not raise the volume excessively. Keep
the volume at a level where you can still hear outside traffic
and emergency signals while driving. Driving while unable to
hear these sounds could cause an accident.
Let Your Judgment Prevail: The Device Software is only an
aid. Make your driving decisions based on your observations
of local conditions and existing traffic regulations. The
Device Software is not a substitute for your personal
judgment.
Use of Speech Recognition Functions: Speech recognition
software is inherently a statistical process which is subject
to errors. It is your responsibility to monitor the speech
recognition functions and address any errors.
Hands-Free Capability
All CTIA Certified portable products provide the consumer
with a toll-free number for the purchase of a compatible
hands-free device, 1-800-881-7256.

ESD SAFETY
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause damage to
electronic devices if discharged into the device, so you
should take steps to avoid such an occurrence.
Description of ESD
Static electricity is an electrical charge caused by the
buildup of excess electrons on the surface of a material. To
most people, static electricity and ESD are nothing more
than annoyances. For example, after walking over a carpet
while scuffing your feet, building up electrons on your body,
you may get a shock—the discharge event—when you touch
a metal doorknob. This little shock discharges the built-up
static electricity.
ESD-susceptible equipment
Even a small amount of ESD can harm circuitry, so when
working with electronic devices, take measures to help
protect your electronic devices, including your Palm device,
from ESD harm. While Palm has built protections against
ESD into its products, ESD unfortunately exists and, unless
neutralized, could build up to levels that could harm your
equipment. Any electronic device that contains an external
entry point for plugging in anything from cables to docking
stations is susceptible to entry of ESD. Devices that you carry
with you, such as your Palm device, build up ESD in a unique
way because the static electricity that may have built up on
your body is automatically passed to the device. Then, when
the device is connected to another device such as a docking
station, a discharge event can occur.
Precautions against ESD
Make sure to discharge any built-up static electricity from
yourself and your electronic devices before touching an
electronic device or connecting one device to another. The
recommendation from Palm is that you take this precaution
before connecting your device to your computer, placing
the device on a docking station, or connecting it to any
other device. You can do this in many ways, including the
following:
Ground yourself when you’re holding your mobile device •
by simultaneously touching a metal surface that is at earth
ground.
For example, if your computer has a metal case and is
plugged into a standard three-prong grounded outlet,
touching the case should discharge the ESD on your body.
Increase the relative humidity of your environment.•
![](/img.php?id=1106122&img=bg1a.png)
26
Install ESD-specific prevention items, such as grounding •
mats.
Conditions that enhance ESD occurrences
Conditions that can contribute to the buildup of static
electricity in the environment include the following:
Low relative humidity.•
Material type (The type of material gathering the charge. •
For example, synthetics are more prone to static buildup
than natural fibers like cotton.)
The rapidity with which you touch, connect or disconnect •
electronic devices.
While you should always take appropriate precautions to
discharge static electricity, if you are in an environment where
you notice ESD events you may want to take extra precautions
to protect your electronic equipment against ESD.
