Important Safety Information
General Precautions
14 Important Safety Information
Do 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 Driving
Talking 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 Guidelines
To 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 Devices
Most 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.
Turning Off Your Phone Before Flying
Turn 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.
Maintaining Safe Use of and
Access to Your Phone
Important Safety Information 15
Turning Off Your Phone in Dangerous
Areas
To 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
Phone
Your 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
U.S. Cellular invoice.
Your Hydro Plus is water-resistant. To ensure that
your phone maintains water resistance, the following
precautions must be observed.
●Make sure the battery cover is properly attached
and locked.
●Do not expose your phone to water heated in
excess of 104°F (40°C), or to liquids other than
water, such as detergent, beverages, or
chlorinated or treated water.
●Dry your phone as quickly as possible when wet.
Water Resistance
16 Important Safety Information
Charging
●Dry your phone with a clean cloth before charging.
●Do not touch the charger, charging cable, or
charger/accessory jack with wet hands. Doing so
may cause electric shock, injury, or product
failure.
●Do not charge your phone in a wet or damp place,
such as in a bathroom or near a kitchen sink.
Warning:Your phone is designed to withstand
exposure to water for up to 30 minutes
at a depth not exceeding one meter
(about 3.25 feet). Exposing your phone
to water outside these limits or not
following the above precautions can
result in water damage.
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 Hydro Plus has an XX and
a XX 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.
Using Your Phone With a Hearing
Aid Device
Your Hydro Plus has an M4 and
a T3 rating.
Important Safety Information 17
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: 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
some newer wireless technologies used in this
phone that have not been tested yet for use
with hearing aids. It is important to try the
different features of this phone thoroughly
and in different locations, using your hearing
aid or cochlear implant, to determine if you
hear any interfering noise. Consult your
service provider or the manufacturer of this
phone for information on hearing aid
compatibility. If you have questions about
return or exchange policies, consult your
service provider or phone retailer.
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
hearing 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 Phone
To further minimize interference, move the phone
around to find the point with least interference.

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.
Storing
●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)
Caring for the Battery
Important Safety Information 19
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 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
Operates
Your 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 Safety
The 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 the
guidelines published by the National Council of
Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP).
Radio Frequency (RF) Energy
20 Important Safety Information
Body-Worn Operation
To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure
guidelines, if you wear a handset on your body, use a
U.S. Cellular-supplied or U.S. Cellular-approved
carrying case, holster or other body-worn accessory.
If you do not use a body-worn accessory, ensure the
antennas are at least X.XXX inches (X.X centimeters)
from your body when transmitting. Use of non-U.S.
Cellular-approved accessories may violate FCC RF
exposure guidelines. Other accessories used with
this phone for body-worn operations must not
contain any metallic components and must provide at
least X.XXX inches (X.X 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 Phones
The 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 Hydro Plus
are:
Cellular CDMA mode (Part 22):
Head: X.XXX W/kg; Body-worn: X.XXX W/kg
PCS mode (Part 24):
Head: X.XXX W/kg; Body-worn: X.XXX W/kg
