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

![](/img.php?id=2123501&img=bg36.png)
54
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 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.
Taking care of your smartphone
1. DO take care not to scratch the screen of your smartphone. Keep the screen clean. When
working with your smartphone, use your finger or fingernail. Never use an actual pen or
pencil or other sharp object on the screen surface.
2. DO NOT expose your smartphone to rain or moisture. Do not let water enter the circuitry
through the front panel buttons or expansion slots. In general, treat your smartphone as you
would a mobile phone or other small electronic device.
![](/img.php?id=2123501&img=bg37.png)
55
3. DO be careful not to drop your smartphone or subject it to any strong impact. Do not place
your smartphone in your back pocket.
4. DO NOT expose your smartphone to extreme temperatures. For example, do not leave
your smartphone on the dashboard of a car on a hot day or when temperatures are below
freezing point. Also, keep it away from heaters and other sources of heat.

Safety
Battery information
Do not use this product 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° 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 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° 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 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 manufacturer approved
batteries, and recharge your battery only with manufacturer 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
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.
![](/img.php?id=2123501&img=bg3b.png)

FCC
RF
exposure
limi
t
s
set
forth
for an

RF
exposure information
(SAR)
This
mobile phone meets the government's requirements
for
exposure to radio
wav
e
s.
This
phone
is
designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission
limits for
exp
o
sure
to radio frequency
(RF)
energy
set by
the Federal Communications
Commission
of
the
U.S.
Governm
ent.
The
exposure standard
for
wireless mobile phones employs
a
unit
of
measurement
k
nown
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
b
a
nds.
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
requir
e
d
to reach the network.
In
general, the
closer you are
to
a
wireless base station
antenn
a,
the lower the power ou
tput
.
The
highest
SAR
value for
US
model phones
as
reported
to the
FCC
when tested
for use
at
the
ear is 1.23 W/kg and
when
worn on the body, as
described
in this user
guide,
is 0.86
W/kg.
Important:
B
od
y-
w
orn
measurements differ among phone models, depending
upon
available enhancements and
FCC
requ
irem
ents.
While
there
may be
differences between the
SAR
levels of
various phones and at
v
a
riou
s
positions, they
all
meet the government requ
irements
.
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
th
e
Display
Grant section
of
www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid after searching
on
FCC
ID: HLZEMS510 (for US
mo
dels).
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
bo
dy
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)
requ
irem
ents.
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
dev
e
lop
e
d
ratings
for
some
of
their mobile phones, to
assist
hearing-device
users in
finding
phon
es
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
t
e
s
t
ed
for
hearing
aid
device compatibility and
has an M3 and T3
r
a
t
i
ng
.
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
happ
en
s
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
be
s
t
way
to
e
v
alu
a
te
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
rating
s.
T-Ratings:
Phones rated
T3 or T4
meet
FCC
requirements and
are likely
to
be
more
u
s
a
b
le
with
a
hearing device's telecoil
("T
Switch"
or
"Telephone Switch") than unrated
phon
es.
T4 is
the better/higher
of
the two
rat
i
ngs.
Important:
This
device does not support
VoIP. WLAN
and
B
l
uetoo
t
h
do
not have
v
o

c
e
capability
for
held-to-the-ear phone service.
Note: Not
all
hearing devices contain
teleco
ils.
The
more immune
your
hearing
aid
device
is,
the
less likely you are
to
experien
ce
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.
You
r
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.
