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 0qC/32qF) or high (over 40q
C/104qF) 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 15qC and 25qC (59qF and 77q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. Batteries 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 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.
51
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.
Vehicles
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic systems in
motor vehicles such as electronic fuel injection systems, electronic anti-skid (anti-lock)
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
52
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
would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine. Sparks in such areas could
cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death. Switch off the device at
refueling points such as near gas pumps at service stations. Observe restrictions on the use
of radio equipment in fuel depots, storage, and distribution areas; chemical plants; or
where blasting operations are in progress. Areas with a potentially explosive atmospheres
are often, but not always, clearly marked. They include below deck on boats, chemical
transfer or storage facilities, vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or
butane), and areas where the air contains chemicals or particles such as grain, dust or
metal powders.
Follow any restrictions. Do not use the device where blasting is in progress.
Emergency calls
Important: Wireless phones, including this device, operate using radio signals, wireless
networks, landline networks, and user-programmed functions. Because of this,
connections in all conditions cannot be guaranteed. You should never rely solely on any
wireless device for essential communications like medical emergencies.
If certain features are in use, you may first need to turn those features off before you can
make an emergency call. Consult this guide or your service provider for more information.
When making an emergency call, give all the necessary information as accurately as
possible. Your wireless device may be the only means of communication at the scene of
an accident. Do not end the call until given permission to do so.

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 FCC_HSAR W/kg and when worn on the body, as described
in this user guide, is FCC_BSAR W/kg.
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 www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid after
searching on FCC ID:
FCC_ID_US (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.
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.
61
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.
For body worn operation, this phone (EU model) has been tested and meets the
ICNIRP exposure guidelines, and was included in the European Standard EN
62311 and EN 62209-2 for use with accessories that contain no metal and that
position the handset a minimum of 1.5 cm from the body. Use of other
accessories may not ensure compliance with ICNIRP 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 1.5 cm from your body when the phone is
switched on.
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:
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 M4 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 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.

compatible wireless devices and other steps the FCC has taken to ensure that
individuals with disabilities have access to telecommunications services, please
