Battery information
This product uses a Lithium Polymer battery. Do not use it in a
humid, wet and/or corrosive environment. Do not put, store or
leave your product in or near a heat source, in a high tempera-
ture location, in strong direct sunlight, in a microwave oven or
in a pressurized container, and do not expose it to tempera-
tures over 60 °C (140 °F). Failure to follow these guidelines may
cause the battery to leak acid, become hot, explode or ignite
and cause injury and/or damage. Do not pierce, open or disas-
semble the battery. If the battery leaks and you come into con-
tact with the leaked fluids, rinse thoroughly with water and
seek medical attention immediately. For safety reasons, and to
prolong the lifetime of the battery, charging will not occur at
low (below 0 °C/32 °F) or high (over 45 °C/113 °F) temperatures.
The full performance of a new battery is achieved only after
two or three complete charge and discharge cycles. The bat-
tery can be charged and discharged hundreds of times, but it
will eventually wear out. When the talk and standby times are
noticeably shorter than normal, buy a new battery. Use only
Acer approved batteries, and recharge your battery only with
Acer approved chargers designated for this device.
Unplug the charger from the electrical plug and the device
when not in use. Do not leave a fully charged battery con-
nected to the ac charger, since overcharging may shorten its
lifetime. If left unused, a fully charged battery will lose its
charge over time. If the battery is completely discharged, it
may take a few minutes before the charging indicator appears
on the display or before any calls can be made.
Acer E100/E101 Smartphone User Guide74
Use the battery only for its intended purpose. Never use any
charger or battery that is damaged.
Do not short-circuit the battery. Accidental short-circuiting can
occur when a metallic object such as a coin, clip, or pen causes
direct connection of the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals
of the battery. (These look like metal strips on the battery.)
This might happen, for example, when you carry a spare bat-
tery in your pocket or purse. Short-circuiting the terminals may
damage the battery or the connecting object.
Leaving the battery in hot or cold places, such as in a closed car
in summer or winter conditions, will reduce the capacity and
lifetime of the battery. Always try to keep the battery between
15 °C and 25 °C (59 °F and 77 °F). A device with a hot or cold
battery may not work temporarily, even when the battery is
fully charged. Battery performance is particularly limited in
temperatures well below freezing.
Do not dispose of batteries in a fire as they may explode. Bat-
teries may also explode if damaged. Dispose of batteries
according to local regulations. Please recycle when possible.
Do not dispose as household waste.
Replacing the battery pack
Your smartphone uses lithium batteries. Replace the battery
with the same type as that which came bundled with your
product. Use of another battery may present a risk of fire or
explosion.
Warning! Batteries may explode if not handled properly. Do not
disassemble or dispose of them in fire. Keep them away from chil-
dren. Follow local regulations when disposing of used batteries.

Medical devices
Operation of any radio transmitting equipment, including
wireless phones, may interfere with the functionality of inade-
quately protected medical devices. Consult a physician or the
manufacturer of the medical device to determine if they are
adequately shielded from external RF energy or if you have
any questions. Switch off your device 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 transmissions.
Pacemakers. Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a min-
imum separation of 15.3 cm (6") be maintained between wire-
less devices 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. Persons with pacemakers
should do the following:
• Always keep the device more than 15.3 cm (6") from
the pacemaker.
• Not carry the device near your pacemaker when the
device is switched on. If you suspect interference,
switch off your device, and move it.
Hearing aids. Some digital wireless devices may interfere with
some hearing aids. If interference occurs, consult your service
provider.
Vehicles
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately
shielded electronic systems in motor vehicles such as electronic
fuel injection systems, electronic antiskid (antilock) braking
systems, electronic speed control systems, and air bag systems.
For more information, check with the manufacturer, or its rep-
resentative, of your vehicle or any equipment that has been
77Warnings and precautions
added. Only qualified personnel should service the device, or
install the device in a vehicle. Faulty installation or service may
be dangerous and may invalidate any warranty that may apply
to the device. Check regularly that all wireless equipment in
your vehicle is mounted and operating properly. Do not store

Radio device regulatory notice
Note: Regulatory information below is for models with wireless
LAN and/or Bluetooth only.
General
This product complies with the radio frequency and safety
standards of any country or region in which it has been
approved for wireless use. Depending on configuration, this
product may or may not contain wireless radio devices (such as
wireless LAN and/or Bluetooth modules). Information below is
for products with such devices.
Certificate Information (SAR)
This device meets the EC requirements (1999/519/EC) on the
limitation of exposure of the general public to electromag-
netic fields by way of health protection.
The limits are part of extensive recommendations for the pro-
tection of the general public. These recommendations have
been developed and checked by independent scientific organi-
zations through regular and thorough evaluations of scientific
Acer E100/E101 Smartphone User Guide82
studies. To guarantee the safety of all persons, regardless of
age and health, the limits include a significant safety buffer.
Before radio devices can be put in circulation, their agreement
with European laws or limits must be confirmed; only then
may the CE symbol be applied.
The unit of measurement for the European Council's recom-
mended limit for mobile telephones is the "Specific Absorption
Rate" (SAR). This SAR limit is 2.0 W/kg, averaged over 10 g of
body tissue. It meets the requirements of the International
Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) and
was included in the European Standard EN 50360 for mobile
radio devices. The SAR regulation for mobile telephones is in
line with European Standard EN 62209-1.The maximum SAR
value is calculated at the highest output level in all frequency
bands of the mobile telephone. During use, the actual SAR
level is usually much lower than the maximum value, because
the mobile telephone works in different output levels. It only
transmits with as much output as is required to reach the net-
work. In general the following applies: The closer you are to a
base station, the lower the transmission output of your mobile
telephone. The tested SAR of this device is as follows:

FCC regulations
This mobile phone complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is 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 mobile phone 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 pro-
tection against harmful interference in a residential installa-
tion. 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 interfer-
ence will not occur in a particular installation. If this equip-
ment does cause harmful interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment
off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the inter-
ference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and
receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit dif-
ferent from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV techni-
cian for help.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to
operate the equipment.
The antenna(s) used for this transmitter must not be co-
located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or
transmitter.
Acer E100/E101 Smartphone User Guide84
RF exposure information (SAR)
This mobile phone meets the government's requirements for
exposure to radio waves.
This phone 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. Gov-
ernment.
The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a
unit of measurement known as the Specific 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 phone transmitting at its highest certified
power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is
determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR
level of the phone while operating can be well below the max-
imum value. This is because the phone 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 values for the model phone as reported to the
FCC are as below table:
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of var-
ious phones and at various positions, they all meet the govern-
ment requirement.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for these
model phones with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in
compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR informa-
tion on this model phone is on file with the FCC and can be
found under the Display Grant section of www.fcc.gov/oet/
fccid after searching on the FCC IDs above.

For body worn operation, this phone has been tested and
meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines for use with an accessory
that contains no metal and the positions the handset a mini-
mum of 2.5 cm from the body. Use of other enhancements
may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines. If
you do not use a body-worn accessory and are not holding the
phone at the ear, position the handset a minimum of 2.5 cm
from your body when the phone is switched on.
Using your phone with a hearing aid
device
Your smartphone is compliant with the FCC Hearing Aid Com-
patibility (HAC) requirements.
When some wireless phones are used near some hearing
devices (hearing aids and cochlear implants); users may detect
a buzzing, humming or whining noise. Some hearing devices
are more immune than others to this interference noise, and
phones also vary in the amount of interference they generate.
The wireless telephone industry has developed ratings for
some of their mobile phones, to assist hearing-device users in
finding phones that may be compatible with their hearing
devices. Not all phones have been rated. Phones that have
been rated have a label on the box. Your smartphone has been
tested for hearing aid device compatibility and have an M3 rat-
ing.
These ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary, depending
on the level of immunity of your hearing device and the
degree of your hearing loss. If your hearing device happens to
be vulnerable to interference, you may not be able to use a
rated phone successfully. Trying out the phones with your
hearing device are the best way to evaluate it for your per-
sonal needs.
Acer E100/E101 Smartphone User Guide86
M-Ratings: Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements and
are likely to generate less interference with hearing devices
than phones that are not labeled. 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 contain telecoils.) The more
immune your hearing aid device is, the less likely you are to
experience interference noise from your wireless phone. Hear-
ing aid devices should have ratings similar to those of phones.
Ask your hearing health-care professional for the rating of
your hearing aid.
Hearing devices may also be measured for immunity to this
type of interference. Your hearing device manufacturer or
hearing health professional may help you find results for your
hearing device. The more immune your hearing aid is, the less
likely you are to experience interference noise from wireless
devices.
