Federal Communication Commission Interference

Statement

This equipment 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 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 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 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 or television

technician for help.

FCC Caution: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved

by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s

authority to operate this equipment.

This device 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.

IMPORTANT NOTE

Radiation Exposure Statement:

•

Appendix 215

This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth

for an uncontrolled environment. End users must follow the specific

operating instructions for satisfying RF exposure compliance. To

maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure compliance requirements,

please follow operation instruction as documented in this manual.

This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction

with any other antenna or transmitter, except the transmitters built-in

with the device.

FCC Hearing-Aid Compatibility (HAC) Regulations for

Wireless Devices

On July 10, 2003, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC)

Report and Order in WT Docket 01- 309 modified the exception of

wireless phones under the Hearing Aid Compatibility Act of 1988

(HAC Act) to require digital wireless phones be compatible with

hearing-aids. The intent of the HAC Act is to ensure reasonable

access to telecommunications services for persons with hearing

disabilities. While 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 a rating system for wireless phones, to assist

hearing device users find phones that may be compatible with their

hearing devices. Not all phones have been rated. Phones that are

rated have the rating on their box or a label located on the box. The

ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary depending on the user’s

hearing device and 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.

216 Appendix

M-Ratings: Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements and are

likely to generate less interference to hearing devices than phones that

are not rated. M4 is the better/higher of the two ratings. PB31200 is

rated M4.

T-Ratings: Phones rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements and are

likely to be more usable with a hearing aid’s telecoil than phones that

are not rated. T4 is the better/higher of the two ratings. PB31200 is

rated T3.

Please power off the Bluetooth function while using hearing aid

devices with your PB31200.

Hearing devices may also be rated.

Your hearing device manufacturer or

hearing health professional may help

you find this rating. Higher ratings

mean that the hearing device is

relatively immune to interference noise.

The hearing aid and wireless phone rating values are then added

together. A sum of 5 is considered acceptable for normal use. A sum

of 6 is considered for better use. A sum of 8 is considered for best

use. In the above example, if a hearing aid meets the M2 level rating

and the wireless phone meets the M3 level rating, the sum of the two

values equal M5. This should provide the hearing aid user with “normal

usage” while using their hearing aid with the particular wireless phone.

“Normal usage” in this context is defined as a signal quality that is

acceptable for normal operation.

This methodology applies equally for T ratings. The M mark is

intended to be synonymous with the U mark. The T mark is intended

to be synonymous with the UT mark. The M and T marks are

recommended by the Alliance for Telecommunications Industries

Appendix 217

Solutions (ATIS). The U and UT marks are referenced in Section 20.19

of the FCC Rules. The HAC rating and measurement procedure are

described in the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) C63.19

standard.

when in a “blasting area” or in areas posted “Turn off two-way radio”.

Obey all signs and instructions.

POTENTIALLY EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES

Turn your device OFF when in any area with a potentially explosive

atmosphere and obey all signs and instructions. Sparks in such areas

could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even

death.

Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not

always, clearly marked. They include fueling areas such as gas stations;

below deck on boats; fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities;

vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane);

areas where the air contains chemicals or articles, such as grain, dust,

or metal powders; and any other area where you would normally be

advised to turn off your vehicle’s engine.

General Safety

Your pocket PC is a high quality piece of equipment. Before operating,

read all instructions and cautionary markings on the product, battery

and adapter/charger.

Failure to follow the directions below could result in serious bodily

injury and/or property damage due to battery liquid leakage, fire or

rupture.

Appendix 227

DO NOT use or store this equipment in a place where it will be

exposed to high temperatures, such as near an open flame or heat-

emitting equipment.

DO NOT drop your device or subject it to severe shock. When not

using, lay down the unit to avoid possible damage due to instability.

DO NOT expose this equipment to rain or spilled beverages.

DO NOT use unauthorized accessories.

DO NOT disassemble the device or its accessories. If service or repair

unit is disassembled, the risk of electric shock or fire may result.

Never allow metallic objects, such as staples and paper clips, to get

into the inside of your device.

Never touch the liquid that might leak from a broken liquid crystal

display. Contact with this liquid could cause a skin rash. If the crystal

display liquid should come into contact with the skin or clothing, wash

it immediately with clean water.

In the event that the device emits an unusual odor or sound or

generates smoke, immediately disconnect the AC adapter from the

power outlet, then detach the battery.

Antenna Safety

228 Appendix

Battery Safety

Your device uses a removable and rechargeable lithium ion battery.

Please contact customer service for assistance should you need a

replacement battery.

DOs

Only use the battery and charger approved by the manufacturer.

Only use the battery for its original purpose.

Try to keep batteries in a temperature between 41°F (5°C) and

95°F (35°C).

If the battery is stored in temperatures above or below the

recommended range, give it time to warm up or cool down

before using.

Completely drain the battery before recharging. It may take one

to four days to completely drain.

Store the discharged battery in a cool, dark, and dry place.

Purchase a new battery when its operating time gradually

decreases after fully charging.

Properly dispose of the battery according to local regulations.

DON’Ts

Don’t attempt to disassemble the battery – it is a sealed unit with

no serviceable parts.

Don’t expose the battery terminals to any other metal object

(e.g., by carrying it in your pocket or purse with other metallic

objects such as coins, clips and pens). This can short circuit and

critically damage the battery.

Don’t leave the battery in hot or cold temps. Otherwise, it could

significantly reduce the capacity and lifetime of the battery.

Don’t dispose of the battery into a fire.

•

Appendix 229

Lithium ion batteries are recyclable. When you replace the removable

battery, please request the repair center to recycle the battery in

accordance with RBRC standards. When disposing of the battery by

yourself, please call RBRC at (800) 822-8837 for proper disposal tips.

Never touch any fluid that might leak from the built-in battery. Such

liquid when in contact with the eyes or skin, could cause injury to the

skin or eyes. Should the liquid come into contact with the eyes, irrigate

the eyes thoroughly with clean water and immediately seek medical

attention. In the event the liquid comes into contact with the skin or

clothing, wash it away immediately with clean water.

Adapter/Charger

Use the Correct External Power Source

A product should be operated only from the type of power source

indicated on the electrical ratings label. If you are not sure of the type

of power source required, consult your authorized service provider or

local power company. For a product that operates from battery power

or other sources, refer to the operating instructions that are included

with the product.

The AC Adapter/Charger designed for this unit requires the use of a

standard 120 V AC power source for device operation.

Never attempt to disassemble or repair an AC adapter/charger. Never

use an AC adapter/charger if it has a damaged or worn power cord

or plug. Always contact an authorized service center, if repair or

replacement is required.

Never alter the AC cord or plug on an AC adapter/charger. If the plug

will not fit into the available outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a

qualified electrician.

Never allow any liquids or water to spill on an AC adapter/charger

when it is connected to an AC power source.

230 Appendix

Always use the authorized AC adapter/charger to avoid any risk of

bodily injury or damage to your cellular phone or battery.

Never attempt to connect or disconnect the AC adapter/charger

with wet hands. Always unplug the AC adapter/charger from the

power source before attempting any cleaning. Always use a soft

cloth dampened with water to clean the equipment, after it has been

unplugged.

Handling the cord on this product or cords associated with

accessories sold with this product, will expose you to lead, a chemical

known to the State of California to cause birth defects or other

reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.

Always disconnect the travel charger or desktop charger from the

power source when it is not in use.
