20 Important Safety Information♦General Precautions (page 20)♦Maintaining Safe Use of and Access to Your Phone (page 21)♦Using Your Phone With a Hearing Aid Device (page 23)♦Caring for the Battery (page 25)♦Radio Frequency (RF) Energy (page 26)♦Owner’s Record (page 29)This section contains important operational and safety information that will help you safely use your phone. Failure to read and follow the information provided in this section may result in serious bodily injury, death, or property damage.There are several simple guidelines to operating your phone properly and maintaining safe, satisfactory service.●To maximize performance, do not touch the portions of your phone where the internal antennas are located while using the phone.●Speak directly into the mouthpiece.●Avoid exposing your phone and accessories to rain or liquid spills. If your phone does get wet, immediately turn the power off and remove the battery.●Do not expose your phone to direct sunlight for extended periods of time (such as on the dashboard of a car). ●Although your phone is quite sturdy, it is a complex piece of equipment and can be broken. Avoid dropping, hitting, bending, or sitting on it. ●Any changes or modifications to your phone not expressly approved in this document could void your warranty for this equipment and void your authority to operate this equipment. Note: For the best care of your phone, only Virgin Mobile-authorized personnel should service your phone and accessories. Failure to do so may be dangerous and void your warranty.Important Safety InformationGeneral Precautions
Important Safety Information 21Do Not Rely on Your Phone for Emergency Calls Mobile phones operate using radio signals, which cannot guarantee connection in all conditions. Therefore you should never rely solely upon any mobile phone for essential communication (e.g., medical emergencies). Emergency calls may not be possible on all cellular networks or when certain network services or mobile phone features are in use. Check with your local service provider for details.Using Your Phone While DrivingTalking on your phone while driving (or operating the phone without a hands-free device) is prohibited in some jurisdictions. Laws vary as to specific restrictions. Remember that safety always comes first.Following Safety GuidelinesTo operate your phone safely and efficiently, always follow any special regulations in a given area. Turn your phone off in areas where use is forbidden or when it may cause interference or danger.Using Your Phone Near Other Electronic DevicesMost modern electronic equipment is shielded from radio frequency (RF) signals. However, RF signals from wireless phones may affect inadequately shielded electronic equipment.RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic operating systems or entertainment systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or their representative to determine if these systems are adequately shielded from external RF signals. Also check with the manufacturer regarding any equipment that has been added to your vehicle.Consult the manufacturer of any personal medical devices, such as pacemakers and hearing aids, to determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF signals.Note: Always turn off the phone in healthcare facilities, and request permission before using the phone near medical equipment.Maintaining Safe Use of and Access to Your Phone
22 Important Safety InformationTurning Off Your Phone Before FlyingTurn off your phone before boarding any aircraft. To prevent possible interference with aircraft systems, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations require you to have permission from a crew member to use your phone while the plane is on the ground. To prevent any risk of interference, FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while the plane is in the air.Turning Off Your Phone in Dangerous AreasTo avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your phone off when in a blasting area or in other areas with signs indicating two-way radios should be turned off. Construction crews often use remote-control RF devices to set off explosives.Turn your phone off when you’re in any area that has a potentially explosive atmosphere. Although it’s rare, your phone and accessories could generate sparks. Sparks can cause an explosion or fire, resulting in bodily injury or even death. These areas 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.●Areas where the air contains chemicals or particles such as grain, dust, or metal powders.●Any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle’s engine.Note: Never transport or store flammable gas, flammable liquids, or explosives in the compartment of your vehicle that contains your phone or accessories.Restricting Children’s Access to Your PhoneYour phone is not a toy. Do not allow children to play with it as they could hurt themselves and others, damage the phone or make calls that increase your Virgin Mobile invoice.
Important Safety Information 23A number of Virgin Mobile phones have been tested for hearing aid device compatibility. When some wireless phones are used with certain hearing devices (including hearing aids and cochlear implants), users may detect a noise which can interfere with the effectiveness of the hearing device.Some hearing devices are more immune than others to this interference noise, and phones also vary in the amount of interference noise they may generate. ANSI standard C63.19 was developed to provide a standardized means of measuring both wireless phone and hearing devices to determine usability rating categories for both.Ratings have been developed for mobile phones to assist hearing device users find phones that may be compatible with their hearing device. Not all phones have been rated for compatibility with hearing devices. Phones that have been rated have a label located on the box. Your Rise has an M4 and a T4 rating.These ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary depending on the user’s hearing device and individual type and degree of hearing loss. If a hearing device is particularly vulnerable to interference noise; even a phone with a higher rating may still cause unacceptable noise levels in the hearing device. 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 for hearing aid compatibility and are likely to generate less interference to hearing devices than unrated phones. (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 that not all hearing devices have telecoils in them.)Note: New Technologies, Including Wi-Fi This phone has been tested and rated for use with hearing aids for some of the wireless technologies that it uses. However, there may be newer wireless technologies (including Wi-Fi) used in this phone that have not been tested for use with hearing aids.Hearing aid devices may also be measured for immunity to interference noise from wireless phones and should have ratings similar to phones. Ask your hearing healthcare professional for the rating of your Using Your Phone With a Hearing Aid Device
24 Important Safety Informationhearing aid. Add the rating of your hearing aid and your phone to determine probable usability:●Any combined rating equal to or greater than six offers excellent use.●Any combined rating equal to five is considered normal use.●Any combined rating equal to four is considered usable.Thus, if you pair an M3 hearing aid with an M3 phone, you will have a combined rating of six for “excellent use.” This is synonymous for T ratings.More information about hearing aid compatibility may be found at: www.fcc.gov, www.fda.gov, and www.accesswireless.org.Getting the Best Hearing Device Experience With Your PhoneTo further minimize interference:●Set the phone’s display and keypad backlight settings to ensure the minimum time interval:1. Press Home   > Menu  , and touch System settings > Display > Sleep or Keyboard timeout.2. Touch the minimum time interval setting.●Position the phone so the internal antennas are farthest from your hearing aid.●Move the phone around to find the point with least interference.
Important Safety Information 25Protecting Your BatteryThe guidelines listed below help you get the most out of your battery’s performance.●Recently there have been some public reports of wireless phone batteries overheating, catching fire, or exploding. It appears that many, if not all, of these reports involve counterfeit or inexpensive, aftermarket-brand batteries with unknown or questionable manufacturing standards. Virgin Mobile is not aware of similar problems with Virgin Mobile phones resulting from the proper use of batteries and accessories approved by Virgin Mobile or the manufacturer of your phone. Use only Virgin Mobile-approved or manufacturer-approved batteries and accessories. Buying the right batteries and accessories is the best way to ensure they’re genuine and safe.●Do not disassemble or open, crush, bend or deform, or puncture or shred the battery.●Do not modify or remanufacture, attempt to insert foreign objects into the battery, immerse or expose to water or other liquids, expose to fire, explosion, or other hazard.●Avoid dropping the phone or battery. If the phone or battery is dropped, especially on a hard surface, and the user suspects damage, take it to a service center for inspection.●Improper battery use may result in a fire, explosion or other hazard.●Do not short-circuit a battery or allow metallic conductive objects to contact battery terminals.●Keep the metal contacts on top of the battery clean.●Battery usage by children should be supervised.Charging●In order to avoid damage, charge the battery only in temperatures that range from 32° F to 113° F (0° C to 45° C).●Don’t use the battery charger in direct sunlight or in high humidity areas, such as the bathroom.●The battery may need recharging if it has not been used for a long period of time.●It’s best to replace the battery when it no longer provides acceptable performance. It can be recharged hundreds of times before it needs replacing.Caring for the Battery
26 Important Safety InformationStoring●Don’t store the battery in high temperature areas for long periods of time. It’s best to follow these storage rules:▪Less than one month:-4° F to 140° F (-20° C to 60° C)▪More than one month:-4° F to 113° F (-20° C to 45° C)Disposal of Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) Batteries●Promptly dispose of used batteries in accordance with local regulations.●Never dispose of the battery by incineration.●Do not handle a damaged or leaking Li-Ion battery as you can be burned.●For safe disposal options of your Li-Ion batteries, contact your nearest Virgin Mobile authorized service center.Special Note: Be sure to dispose of your battery properly. In some areas, the disposal of batteries in household or business trash may be prohibited.Understanding How Your Phone OperatesYour phone is basically a radio transmitter and receiver. When it’s turned on, it receives and transmits radio frequency (RF) signals. When you use your phone, the system handling your call controls the power level. This power can range from 0.006 watt to 0.2 watt in digital mode.Knowing Radio Frequency SafetyThe design of your phone complies with updated NCRP standards described below.In 1991–92, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) joined in updating ANSI’s 1982 standard for safety levels with respect to human exposure to RF signals. More than 120 scientists, engineers and physicians from universities, government health agencies and industries developed this updated standard after reviewing the available body of research. In 1993, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) adopted this updated standard in a regulation. In August 1996, the FCC adopted hybrid standard consisting of the existing ANSI/IEEE standard and Radio Frequency (RF) Energy
Important Safety Information 27the guidelines published by the National Council of Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP).Body-Worn OperationTo maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines, if you wear a handset on your body, use a Virgin Mobile-supplied or Virgin Mobile-approved carrying case, holster or other body-worn accessory. If you do not use a body-worn accessory, ensure the antennas are at least 0.591 inches (1.5 centimeters) from your body when transmitting. Use of non-Virgin Mobile-approved accessories may violate FCC RF exposure guidelines. Other accessories used with this device for body-worn operations must not contain any metallic components and must provide at least 0.591 inches (1.5 centimeters) separation distance between the antennas and the user’s body.For more information about RF exposure, visit the FCC website at www.fcc.gov.Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) for Wireless PhonesThe SAR value corresponds to the relative amount of RF energy absorbed into the head of a user of a wireless handset.The SAR value of a phone is the result of an extensive testing, measuring and calculation process. It does not represent how much RF the phone emits. All phone models are tested at their highest value in strict laboratory settings. But when in operation, the SAR of a phone can be substantially less than the level reported to the FCC. This is because of a variety of factors including its proximity to a base station antenna, phone design and other factors. What is important to remember is that each phone meets strict federal guidelines. Variations in SARs do not represent a variation in safety. All phones must meet the federal standard, which incorporates a substantial margin of safety. As stated above, variations in SAR values between different model phones do not mean variations in safety. SAR values at or below the federal standard of 1.6 W/kg are considered safe for use by the public. The highest reported SAR values of the Rise are:PCS mode (Part 24):Head: 1.35 W/kg; Body-worn: 1.04 W/kg
