52Warnings and precautions
• Never use this product when engaging in sporting activities, exercising, or in any
vibrating environment which may cause a short circuit or damage, and even a risk
of explosion from the battery pack.
CAUTION when listening to music
To protect your hearing, follow these instructions.
• Increase the volume gradually until you can hear clearly and comfortably.
• Do not increase the volume level after your ears have adjusted.
• Do not listen to music at high volumes for extended periods.
• Do not increase the volume to block out noisy surroundings.
• Decrease the volume if you can’t hear people speaking near you.
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 temperature location, in strong direct sunlight, in a microwave oven or in a
pressurized container, and do not expose it to temperatures over 60 qC (140 qF). 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 disassemble the battery. If the
battery leaks and you come into contact 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 qC/32 qF) or high (over 40
qC/104 qF) temperatures.
The full performance of a new battery is achieved only after two or three complete
charge and discharge cycles. The battery 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 connected 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.
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 battery 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 qC and 25 qC (59 qF and 77 qF). 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. Batteries may also explode if
damaged. Dispose of batteries according to local regulations. Please recycle when
possible. Do not dispose as household waste.
![](/img.php?id=1403400&img=bg35.png)
53Warnings and precautions
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 children. Follow local regulations when
disposing of used batteries.
Additional safety information
Your device and its enhancements may contain small parts. Keep them out of the reach of
small children.
Operating environment
Warning! For safety reasons, turn off all wireless or radio transmitting devices when
using your smartphone device under the following conditions. These devices may
include, but are not limited to: wireless LAN (WLAN), Bluetooth and/or 3G.
Remember to follow any special regulations in force in any area, and always switch off
your device when its use is prohibited or when it may cause interference or danger. Use
the device only in its normal operating positions. To successfully transmit data files or
messages, this device requires a good quality connection to the network. In some cases,
transmission of data files or messages may be delayed until such a connection is available.
Ensure that the above separation distance instructions are followed until the transmission
is completed. Parts of the device are magnetic. Metallic materials may be attracted to the
device, and persons with hearing aids should not hold the device to the ear with the
hearing aid. Do not place credit cards or other magnetic storage media near the device,
because information stored on them may be erased.
Medical devices
Operation of any radio transmitting equipment, including wireless phones, may interfere
with the functionality of inadequately 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 minimum separation of 15.3
cm (6") be maintained between wireless 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.
![](/img.php?id=1403400&img=bg36.png)
54Emergency calls
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 representative, of your vehicle or any
equipment that has been 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 or carry
flammable liquids, gases, or explosive materials in the same compartment as the device,
its parts, or enhancements. For vehicles equipped with an air bag, remember that air bags
inflate with great force. Do not place objects, including installed or portable wireless
equipment in the area over the air bag or in the air bag deployment area. If in-vehicle
wireless equipment is improperly installed, and the air bag inflates, serious injury could
result. Using your device while flying in aircraft is prohibited. Switch off your device
before boarding an aircraft. The use of wireless teledevices in an aircraft may be
dangerous to the operation of the aircraft, disrupt the wireless telephone network, and
may be illegal.
Potentially explosive environments
Switch off your device when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere and
obey all signs and instructions. Potentially explosive atmospheres include areas where you

61Regulatory information
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 protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This
equipment generates, uses and can radiated 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 this equipment 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 interference 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 different from that to which
the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance
could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
RF exposure warning
The equipment complies with FCC RF exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled
environment.
The antenna(s) used for this transmitter must not be co-located or operating in
conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
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.
Government.
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 1.6 W/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 maximum 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 value for US model phones as reported to the FCC when tested for use at the
ear is 0.637 W/kg and when worn on the body, as described in this user guide,
is 1.360 W/kg.
![](/img.php?id=1403400&img=bg3e.png)
62Regulatory information
Important: Body-worn measurements differ among phone models, depending upon
available enhancements and FCC requirements.
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones and at various
positions, they all meet the government requirements.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model phone with all reported
SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR
information on this model phone is on file with the FCC and can be found under the
Display Grant section of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid after searching on FCC ID:
HLZDME310SC (for US models).
For body worn operation, this phone has been tested and meets the FCC RF exposure
guidelines for use with accessories that contain no metal and that position the handset a
minimum of 1 cm 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 phone at the ear, position the handset a minimum of 1 cm from your body
when the phone is switched on.
Using your phone with a hearing aid device (US models)
Your device is compliant with the FCC Hearing Aid Compatibility (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 device has been tested for
hearing aid device compatibility and has an M3 and/or T3 rating.
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 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 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.
Important: This device does not support VoIP. WLAN and Bluetooth do not have voice
capability for held-to-the-ear phone service.
Note: 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. Hearing aid devices should have ratings
![](/img.php?id=1403400&img=bg3f.png)
63Regulatory information
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.
For additional information about the FCC's actions with regard to hearing aid compatible
wireless devices and other steps the FCC has taken to ensure that individuals with
disabilities have access to telecommunications services, please go to www.fcc.gov/cgb/dro
Turning on Hearing Aid Compatibility mode
To turn on HAC, open the Applications tab and tap Settings > Call settings > Advanced
settings > Hearing aids.
Certificate Information (SAR)
This device meets the EU requirements (1999/519/EC) on the limitation of exposure of the
general public to electromagnetic fields by way of health protection.
The limits are part of extensive recommendations for the protection of the general
public. These recommendations have been developed and checked by independent
scientific organizations through regular and thorough evaluations of scientific 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 recommended 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 network. 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:
