travel, beware of damage. Cramming the device into a
suitcase may crack the LCD display. Remember to switch off
your wireless connection during air travel.
• Use your PadFone device in an environment with ambient
temperatures between -10 °C (14 °F) and 35 °C (95 °F).
IMPORTANT! To provide electrical insulation and maintain electrical
safety, a coating is applied to insulate the ASUS PadFone body except
on the sides where the I/O ports are located.
The battery
Your PadFone device is equipped with a high performance non-
detachable Li-Ion battery. Observe the following maintenance
guidelines for a longer battery life:
• Avoid charging in extremely high or low temperature. The
battery performs optimally in an ambient temperature of +5 °C
to +35 °C.
• Do not remove and replace the battery with a non-approved
battery.
• Do not remove and immerse the battery in water or any other
liquid.
• Never try to open the battery as it contains substances that
might be harmful if swallowed or allowed to come into contact
with unprotected skin.
• Do not remove and short-circuit the battery, as it may
overheat and cause a re. Keep it away from jewellery and
other metal objects.
• Do not remove and dispose of the battery in re. It
could explode and release harmful substances into the
environment.

other components such as the microphone, earpiece, or
camera lens.
WARNING! Failure to follow these instructions may lead to serious
personal injury and possible property damage.
Driving safely
Never use handheld phones while driving. It is an offence, that while
driving, to hold a phone or cradle it in your neck at any point, during
the setup, making or taking of a phone call, text message or any other
data related mobile communication. Use of fully installed car kits are
still permitted, as are the use of alternate handsfree accessories.
In the interest of safety, we would recommend the use of a cradle
while using any form of handsfree accessory.
While driving, we recommend that you use voicemail wherever
possible, and that you listen to your messages when you are not in
the car. If you must make a handsfree call when driving, keep it brief.
Do not place objects, including both installed or portable wireless
equipment, in the area over the airbag or in the airbag deployment
area. An airbag inates with great force. If the airbag inates, serious
injury could result.
Electronic devices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF energy.
However, certain electronic equipment may not be shielded against
the RF signals from your device.
Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers’ Association recommends that
a minimum separation of six (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 and recommendations of Wireless
Technology Research.
If you have a pacemaker:
• Always keep your PadFone device more than six inches
(15cm) from your pacemaker when turned on.
• Do not carry your PadFone in your breast pocket.
• Use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential
for interference.
• If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking
place, switch off your PadFone device immediately.
Hearing aids
Some digital phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In the
event of such interference, call ASUS Customer Service to discuss
alternatives.
Other medical devices
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 PadFone device off in healthcare facilities when any
regulations posted in these areas instruct you to do so.
Hospitals or healthcare facilities may be using equipment that could
be sensitive to external RF energy.
Vehicles
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded
electronic systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or
its representative regarding your vehicle. You should also consult the
manufacturer of any equipment added to your vehicle.
Posted facilities
Turn your PadFone device off where posted notices so require.
Magnetic media
Magnetic elds generated by mobile devices may damage data on
magnetic storage media, such as credit cards, computer discs or
tapes. Do not place your PadFone device next to such media.
You should never expose your PadFone device to strong magnetic
elds as this may cause temporary malfunction.
Other Safety Guidelines
Aircraft
Regulations prohibit using your mobile device while onboard an
aircraft. Switch off your PadFone device before boarding an aircraft or
turn off the wireless connection.
Blasting areas
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your PadFone
device off when in a ‘blasting area’ or in areas posted: “Turn off two-
way radio.” Obey all signs and instructions.
Potentially explosive environments
Turn your PadFone device off when in any area with a potentially
explosive environment and obey all signs and instructions.
Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or re resulting in
bodily injury or even death.
Areas with a potentially explosive environment are often, but not
always, clearly marked. They include fuelling areas such as gas
stations, below decks on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage
facilities, vehicles using liquied petroleum gas (such as propane or
butane), areas where the air contains chemicals or articles, such as
grain, dust, or metal powders, and any other area where you would
normally be advised to turn off your vehicle’s engine.
Choking
Keep your PadFone away from children as the SIM card and other
small parts present a choking hazard.
Caution
Your PadFone device is a high quality piece of equipment. Before
operating, read all instructions and cautionary markings on the (1)
AC Adapter.
• Do not use the PadFone device in an extreme environment
where high temperature or high humidity exists. The
PadFone device performs optimally in an ambient
temperature between -15 °C (5 °F) and 35 °C (95 °F).
• Do not abuse the PadFone device. Avoid striking, shaking,
or subjecting the device to impact. When not using the unit,
place the device in a safe place to avoid damage to the
product.

Operator access with a tool
If a TOOL is necessary to gain access to an OPERATOR ACCESS
AREA, either all other compartments within that area containing a
hazard shall be inaccessible to the OPERATOR by the use of the
same TOOL, or such compartments shall be marked to discourage
OPERATOR access.
An acceptable marking for an electric shock hazard is (ISO 3864,
No. 5036).
Equipment for restricted access locations
For equipment intended only for installation in a RESTRICTED
ACCESS LOCATION, the installation instructions shall contain a
statement to this effect.
WARNING: The user needs to switch off the device when exposed to
areas with potentially explosive atmospheres such as petrol stations,
chemical storage depots and blasting operations.

subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause
harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
This device has been tested and found to comply with the limits
for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment
generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy, and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation If

RF Exposure Information (SAR)
This device meets the government’s requirements for exposure to
radio waves.
This device is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission
limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal
Communications Commission of the U.S. Government.
The exposure standard for wireless device employs a unit of
measurement known as the Specic Absorption Rate, or SAR. The
SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg. Tests for SAR are conducted
using standard operating positions accepted by the FCC with the
device transmitting at its highest certied power level in all tested
frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest
certied power level, the actual SAR level of the device while
operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the
device is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use
only the poser required to reach the network. In general, the closer
you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power
output.
The highest SAR value for the model device as reported to the
FCC when tested for use at the ear is 0.42 W/kg and when worn
on the body, as described in this user guide, is 1.40 W/kg (Body-
worn measurements differ among device models, depending upon
available accessories and FCC requirements.)
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various
devices and at various positions, they all meet the government
requirement.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model
device with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with
the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR information on this model
device is on le with the FCC and can be found under the Display
Grant section of www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid after searching on FCC ID:
MSQT00S.
For body worn operation, this device has been tested and meets the
FCC RF exposure guidelines for use with an accessory that contains
no metal and be positioned a minimum of 1cm from the body. Use of
other accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure
guidelines. If you do not use a body-worn accessory and are not
holding the device at the ear, position the handset a minimum of 1cm
from your body when the device is switched on.
The maximum SAR value when using the headset for each frequency
band is listed below:

Hearing Aid Compatibility (HAC)
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 phone that
have not been tested yet for use with hearing aids. It is important
to try the different features of this phone thoroughly and in different
locations, using your hearing aid or cochlear implant, to determine
if you hear any interfering noise. Consult your service provider
or the manufacturer of this phone for information on hearing aid
compatibility. If you have questions about return or exchange policies,
consult your service
To determine the compatibility of a WD and a particular hearing aid,
simply add the numerical part of the hearing aid category (e.g. M2/
T2=2) with the numerical part of the WD emission rating (e.g., M3=3)
to arrive at the system classication for this particular combination
of WD and hearing aid. A sum of 5 would indicate that the WD and
hearing aid would provide normal use, and a sum of 6 or greater
would indicate that the WD and hearing aid would provide excellent
performance. A category sum of less than 4 would likely result in a
performance that is judged unacceptable by the hearing aid user.
WHAT IS HEARING AID COMPATIBILITY?
The Federal Communications Commission has implemented rules
and a rating system designed to enable people who wear hearing
aids to more effectively use these wireless telecommunications
devices. The standard for compatibility of digital wireless phones
with hearing aids is set forth in American National Standard Institute
(ANSI) standard C63.19. There are two sets of ANSI standards with
ratings from one to four (four being the best rating): an “M” rating
for reduced interference making it easier to hear conversations on
the phone when using the hearing aid microphone, and a “T” rating
that enables the phone to be used with hearing aids operating in the
telecoil mode thus reducing unwanted background noise.
HOW WILL I KNOW WHICH WIRELESS PHONES ARE HEARING
AID COMPATIBLE?
The Hearing Aid Compatibility rating is displayed on the wireless
phone box.
A phone is considered Hearing Aid Compatible for acoustic coupling
(microphone mode) if it has an “M3” or “M4” rating. A digital wireless
phone is considered Hearing Aid Compatible for inductive coupling
(telecoil mode) if it has a “T3” or “T4” rating.
The tested M-Rating and T-Rating for this device (FCC ID:
MSQT00S) are M3 and T4.
HOW WILL I KNOW IF MY HEARING AID WILL WORK WITH A
PARTICULAR DIGITAL WIRELESS PHONE?
You’ll want to try a number of wireless phones so that you can decide
which works the best with your hearing aids. You may also want to
talk with your hearing aid professional about the extent to which your
hearing aids are immune to interference, if they have wireless phone
shielding, and whether your hearing aid has a HAC rating.
