Exposure to Radio Frequency RadiationYour neoChatneoChat Reference Guide 1Thank you for purchasing neoChat – your complete messaging device. neoChat is a mobile messaging unit designed to work with neoFone. neoChat blurs the lines between mobile instant messaging, Email, and SMS, creating a unique, efficient mobile user experience. It brings a new dimension to the concept of non-stop rapid communication – people connecting to people. Lightweight and pocketsize, the dynamic interactive screen and convenient keyboard make it the ideal messaging tool. neoChat40Safety InformationneoChat Reference GuideThe radiated output power of the neoChat NC-10 internal wireless radio isfar below the FCC and Industry Canada radio frequency exposure limits. Nevertheless, the wireless radio shall be used in such a manner that the potential for human contact during normal operation is minimized. The internal wireless radio operates within guidelines found in radio frequency safety standards and recommendations, which reflect the consensus of the scientific community.The level of emitted energy emitted is far less than the electromagnetic energy emitted by wireless devices such as mobile phones. However, the use of wireless radios may be restricted in some situations or environ-ments, such as aboard airplanes. If you are unsure of restrictions, you are encouraged to ask for authorization before turning on the wireless radio.The FCC and Industry Canada has set a general guideline of 20 cm (8 inches)separation between the device and the body, for use of a wireless device near the body. This device should be used more than 20 cm (8 inches) from the body when wireless devices are on.• Never short-circuit the battery by connecting the positive and negative terminals with a metal material. Do not store or carry the battery where it could come into contact with metal objects such as a key chain or necklace. • Never allow the battery to get wet or be immersed in water. • Do not place the battery in a microwave oven or high pressure container. • Stop charging if the battery is not charged after the prescribed charge time. • If leakage of the electrolyte occurs, or if there is an offensive odor, immediately keep the battery away for any source of fire or spark. • If you become aware of any abnormal phenomena, such as odor, discol-oration, or deformation, during use, while charging or when storing the battery, remove the battery from the device or charger and stop using. • In the event the electrolyte comes into contact with the eyes, flush thoroughly with clean water, without rubbing. Consult with a physician immediately.WELCOME
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often but not always clearly marked. They include the below-deck area on boats, chemical transfer or storage facilities, vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (propane or butane), areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust or metal powders, and any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine.For the safe use of lithium ion batteries always follow the instructions provided below. Improper handling of lithium ion batteries may result in injury or damage from electrolyte leakage, heating, ignition, or explosion.Danger:• Never use the batteries with anything other than specifically designed equipment. • Always use the battery charger provided with the device. • Never impact, pierce or crush the battery. • Handle a damaged or leaking battery with extreme care. If you come in contact with the electrolyte, wash the exposed area with soap and water. If it contacts the eye, flush the eye with water for 15 minutes and seek medical attention.• When discarding a battery, contact your local waste disposal provider regarding local restrictions on the disposal or recycling of batteries.• Never disassemble or modify the battery. The battery contains a circuit designed to enhance safety. Damaging this circuit may cause overheating, fire or bursting. • Never expose or charge a battery under high temperature conditions, such as near a fire or in the direct sunlight. If the ambient tempera-ture is too high, the protection circuit may be actuated, preventing further charging, or damaged.Your PMG connected world starts with a mobile phone with PMG technology (neoFone) and also includes one or more PMG Companions. Using PMG technology, neoFone connects wirelessly with the PMG Companions like neoChat. neoFone is a slim, feature-packed mobile phone. neoFone also has the huge benefit of allowing you to connect with PMG Companions, like neoChat and neoSnap.

Consult your Service Provider in the event of interference.• Other Medical Devices The operation of any radio-transmitting equipment, including your neoChat, may interfere with the functioning of inadequately protected medical devices. Consult a physician or the manufacturer of the medi-cal device if you have any questions or to determine if the devices are adequately shielded from external RF energy. Power off your neoChat in health care facilities when instructed to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment sensitive to external RF energy.• Transport RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic systems in motor vehicles, for example electronic fuel injec-tion systems, electronic anti-skid (anti-lock) braking systems, elec-tronic speed control systems, and air bag systems. Check these issues with your vehicle manufacturer or representative. You should also consult the manufacturer of any equipment that has been added to your vehicle. Power off your neoChat before boarding an aircraft. The use of wire-less products such as your neoChat in an aircraft may be dangerous to the operation of the aircraft, disrupt the wireless telephone network, and may be illegal.• Posted Facilities Power off your neoChat in any facility where posted notices require you to do so.• Potential Explosive Atmospheres Power off your neoChat in areas with a potentially explosive atmo-sphere, and obey all signs and instructions. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.

When connecting your neoChat or any accessory to another device, read the user guide for detailed safety instructions. Do not connect incompatible products.• Electronic Devices Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from radio frequency (RF) signals. However, keep in mind that certain electronic equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals from your wireless neoChat.• Pacemakers The manufacturers of pacemakers recommend that a minimum dis-tance of 20 cm (6 inches) be maintained between a wireless product such as your neoChat and a pacemaker, in order to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. These recommendations are con-sistent with independent research conducted by Wireless Technology Research. Users with pacemakers: • Should always keep your powered on neoChat more than 20 cm (6 inches) from your pacemaker. • Should not carry your neoChat in a breast pocket. • Should immediately power off your neoChat if there is reason to suspect that interference is taking place. • Use device only with the following charger models: Cincon T3E-05V055 (Europe only,) T3A-05V055 (North America only) and Pi KWS05E36-57 (Europe only.)SAFETY INFORMATIONneoChat Reference Guide 37Safety Information

Precipitation, humidity, and liquids contain minerals that can corrode electronic circuits. • Do not use or store your neoChat in dusty, dirty areas. Your neoChat’s moving parts can be damaged. • Do not store your neoChat in hot areas. High temperatures can shorten the life of electronic devices, damage batteries, and warp or melt certain plastics. • Do not store your neoChat in cold areas. When your neoChat warms up (to its normal temperature), moisture can form inside the device and may damage electronic circuit boards. • Do not attempt to open your neoChat. Non-expert handling of the device may damage it and void the warranty on the product. • Do not drop, knock, or shake your neoChat. Rough handling can break internal circuit boards. • Do not clean your neoChat with harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents. Wipe clean with a soft cloth, slightly dampened in a mild soap-and-water solution. • Do not paint your neoChat. Paint can clog the device’s moving parts and prevent proper functioning. • If your neoChat, the battery charger, or any accessory is not working properly, contact your nearest qualified service facility. The personnel there will assist you, and if necessary, arrange for service. • The neoChat charger is equipped with a ferrite bead to reduce EMI (electromagnetic interference) and RFI (radio-frequency interference.) Do not for any reason remove the ferrite bead from the product.STANDARD TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF USE, CARE, AND MAINTAENANCE36Standard Terms and Conditions of Use, Care, and MaintenanceneoChat Reference Guide
