43Warnings and precautions
lifetime of the battery, charging will not occur at low (below 0 °C/32 °F) or high (over 40
°C/104 °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 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. 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.

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 1.6W/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 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 the model phone as reported to the FCC when tested for use at
the ear is 1.38 W/kg and when worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is 0.686
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: HLZDME400.
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 1.5 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 1.5 cm from your body
when the phone is switched on.
Using your phone with a hearing aid device
Your E400 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
51Regulatory information
have been rated. Phones that have been rated have a label on the box. Your E400 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.
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.
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
