IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
This booklet contains important operational and safety
information that will help you safely use your phone.
2
Failure to read and follow the information provided in this
booklet may result in serious bodily injury, death, or
property damage.
GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
There are several simple guidelines to operating your
phone properly and maintaining safe, satisfactory service.
To maximize performance, do not touch the bottom
portion of your phone where the internal antenna is
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 device, only authorized
personnel should service your phone and accessories.
Failure to do so may be dangerous and void your warranty.
MAINTAINING SAFE USE OF AND ACCESS TO
YOUR PHONE
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
3
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
4
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 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 invoice.
USING YOUR PHONE WITH A HEARING
AID DEVICE
When some wireless phones are used with certain hearing
devices (including hearing aids and cochlear implants),
5
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 C63.19-2011 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 Phone
rating meeting M4/T3.
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: 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
6
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 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.
It is further suggested you experiment with multiple phones
(even those not labeled M3/T3 or M4/T4) while in the store
to find the one that works best with your hearing aid device.
Should you experience interference or find the quality of
service unsatisfactory after purchasing your phone,
promptly return it to the store.
More information about hearing aid compatibility may be
found at: fcc.gov, fda.gov, and accesswireless.org.
To further minimize interference, consider doing the
following:
Set the phone's display and keypad backlight settings
to ensure the minimum time interval:
1. Touch .
2. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen.
3. Touch Settings > Display.
4. Touch Sleep to set the time interval before the
display backlight turns off; touch Navigation key
7
light duration to turn on or off keypad backlight
and set backlight duration.
Position the phone so the internal antenna is farthest
from your hearing aid.
Move the phone around to find the point with least
interference.

RADIO FREQUENCY (RF) ENERGY
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 handing 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).
Body-Worn Operation
To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines, if
10
you wear a handset on your body, use a carrier-supplied or
carrier-approved carrying case, holster or other body-worn
accessory which do not contain metallic components. If you
do not use a body-worn accessory, ensure the antenna is at
least 15 mm from your body when transmitting. Use of
non-approved accessories may violate FCC RF exposure
guidelines.
For more information about RF exposure, visit the FCC
website at fcc.gov.
RF Exposure Information (SAR)
This phone is designed and manufactured not to exceed
the emission limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF)
energy set by the Federal Communications Commission of
the United States.
During SAR testing, this device was set to transmit at its
highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands,
and placed in positions that simulate RF exposure in
usage against the head with no separation, and near the
body with the separation of 15 mm. Although the SAR is
determined at the highest certified power level, the actual
SAR level of the device 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 power required to reach the network. In general,
the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the
lower the power output.
The exposure standard for wireless devices employing a
unit of measurement is known as the Specific Absorption
Rate, or SAR.
The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg.
11
This device is complied with SAR for general population
/uncontrolled exposure limits in ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1992
and had been tested in accordance with the measurement
methods and procedures specified in IEEE1528.
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 the Display Grant section of
www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid after searching on
FCC ID: SRQ-N9137.
For this device, the highest reported SAR value for usage
against the head is 0.62 W/kg, for usage near the body is
1.14 W/kg.
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of
various phones and at various positions, they all meet the
government requirements.
SAR compliance for body-worn operation is based on a
separation distance of 15 mm between the unit and the
human body. Carry this device at least 15 mm away from
your body to ensure RF exposure level compliant or lower
to the reported level. To support body-worn operation,
choose the belt clips or holsters, which do not contain
metallic components, to maintain a separation of 15
mm between this device and your body.
RF exposure compliance with any body-worn accessory,
which contains metal, was not tested and certified, and use
such body-worn accessory should be avoided.
