    This includes the use of headphones (including headsets, 
    earbuds, and Bluetooth
    ® or other wireless devices). 
    Exposure to very loud sound has also been associated in 
    some studies with tinnitus (a ringing in the ear), 
    hypersensitivity to sound, and  distorted hearing. Individual 
    susceptibility to noise-induced hearing loss and potential 
    hearing problem varies. Additionally, the amount of sound 
    produced by a portable audio device varies depending on the 
    nature of the sound, the device  settings, and the headphones 
    that are used. As a result, ther e is no single volume setting 
    that is appropriate for everyone or for every combination of 
    sound, settings, and equipment.
    You should follow some common sense recommendations 
    when using any portable audio device:
    Always turn the volume down before plugging the earphones into 
    an audio source.
    Set the volume in a quiet envi ronment and select the lowest 
    volume at which you can hear adequately.
    Be aware that you can adapt to higher volume settings over time, 
    not realizing that the higher vo lume may be harmful to your 
    hearing.
    When using headphones, turn the volume down if you cannot 
    hear the people speaking near you or if the person sitting next to 
    you can hear what you are listening to.
    Do not turn the volume up to block out noisy surroundings. If you 
    choose to listen to your portable device in a noisy environment, 
    use noise-cancelling headphones to block out background 
    environmental noise. By blocking background environment noise, 
    noise cancelling headphones should allow you to hear the music 
    at lower volumes than when using earbuds.
    Limit the amount of time you list en. As the volume increases, less 
    time is required before you hearing could be affected.
    Avoid using headphones after expo sure to extremely loud noises, 
    such as rock concerts, that might cause temporary hearing loss. 
    Temporary hearing loss might cause unsafe volumes to sound 
    normal.
    Do not listen at any volume that causes you discomfort. If you 
    experience ringing in your ears, hear muffled speech, or 
    experience any temporary hearing difficulty after listening to your 
    portable audio device, discontinue use and consult your doctor.
    You can obtain additional information on this subject from the

    Operating Environment
    Remember to follow any special regulations in force in any 
    area, and always switch your mobile device off whenever it is 
    forbidden to use it, or when it may cause interference or 
    danger. When connecting the mobile device or any accessory 
    to another device, read its users guide for detailed safety 
    instructions. Do not connect incompatible products.

    Using Your Mobile Device Near Other Electronic 
    Devices
    Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from Radio 
    Frequency (RF) signals. However, certain electronic 
    equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals from 
    your wireless mobile device.  Consult the manufacturer to 
    discuss alternatives.
    Implantable Medical Devices
    A minimum separation of six (6) inches should be maintained 
    between a handheld wireless  mobile device and an 
    implantable medical device, such as a pacemaker or 
    implantable cardioverter defibr illator, to avoid potential 
    interference with the device.
    Persons who have such devices:
    Should ALWAYS keep the mobile device more than six (6) inches 
    from their implan table medical device when the mobile device is 
    turned ON;
    Should not carry the mobile device in a breast pocket;
    Should use the ear opposite the implantable medical device to 
    minimize the potentia l for interference;
    Should turn the mobile device OFF immediately if there is any 
    reason to suspect that interference is taking place;
    Should read and follow the directions from the manufacturer of 
    your implantable medical device. If you have any questions about 
    using your wireless mobile device with an implantable medical 
    device, consult your health care provider.
    For more information see: http://www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety/rf-
    faqs.html#.
    Other Medical Devices
    If you use any other personal medical devices, consult the 
    manufacturer of your device to determine if it is adequately 
    shielded from external RF energy. Your physician may be able 
    to assist you in obtaining this information. Switch your 
    mobile device off in health care facilities when any 
    regulations posted in these areas instruct you to do so. 
    Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment 
    that could be sensitive to external RF energy.
    Vehicles
    RF signals may affect improperly  installed or inadequately 
    shielded electronic systems in motor vehicles. Check with 
    the manufacturer or its represen tative regarding your vehicle 
    before using your mobile device in a motor vehicle. You 
    should also consult the manufa cturer of any equipment that 
    has been added to your vehicle. 
    						
    							227
    Posted Facilities
    Switch your mobile device off in any facility where posted 
    notices require you to do so.
    Potentially Explosive Environments
    Switch your mobile 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. Users are 
    advised to switch the mobile device off while at a refueling 
    point (service station). 
    Users are reminded of the need to  observe restrictions on the 
    use of radio equipment in fuel depots (fuel storage and 
    distribution areas), chemical  plants, or where blasting 
    operations are in progress. Areas with a potentially explosive 
    atmosphere are often, but not always, clearly marked. They 
    include below deck on boats, chemical transfer or storage 
    facilities, vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as 
    propane or butane), areas wher e the air contains chemicals 
    or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders, and any 
    other area where you would normal ly be advised to turn off 
    your vehicle engine.
    When your Device is Wet
    Do not turn on your device if it is wet. If your device is 
    already on, turn it off and remove the battery immediately (if 
    the device will not turn off or you cannot remove the battery, 
    leave it as-is). Then, dry the de vice with a towel and take it 
    to a service center.
    FCC Hearing Aid Compatibility (HAC) 
    Regulations for Wireless Devices
    The U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has 
    established requiremen ts for digital wireless mobile devices 
    to be compatible with hearing aids and other assistive 
    hearing devices.
    When individuals employing so me assistive hearing devices 
    (hearing aids and cochlear implants) use wireless mobile 
    devices, they may detect a buzzing, humming, or whining 
    noise. Some hearing devices are more immune than others 
    to this interference noise, and mobile devices also vary in the 
    amount of interference they generate.
    The wireless telephone indust ry has developed a rating 
    system for wireless mobile devices to assist hearing device 
    users find mobile devices that may be compatible with their  
    						
    							Health and Safety Information       228
    hearing devices. Not all mobile
     devices have been rated. 
    Mobile devices 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 users hearing device an d hearing loss. If your hearing 
    device happens to be vulnerable  to interference, you may not 
    be able to use a rated mobile  device successfully. Trying out 
    the mobile device with your hearing device is the best way to 
    evaluate it for your personal needs.
    M-Ratings: Wireless mobile devices rated M3 or M4 meet 
    FCC requirements and are likely to generate less interference 
    to hearing devices than mobile  devices that are not labeled. 
    M4 is the better/higher of the two ratings.  M-ratings refer to 
    enabling acoustic coupling with  hearing aids that do not 
    operate in telecoil mode.
    T-Ratings: Mobile devices rated T3 or T4 meet FCC 
    requirements and are likely to  generate less interference to 
    hearing devices than mobile devices that are not labeled. T4 
    is the better/higher of the two ratings. T-ratings refer to 
    enabling inductive coupling wi th hearing aids operating in 
    telecoil mode. Hearing devices may also be
     rated. Your hearing aid 
    manufacturer or hearing health  professional may help you 
    find this rating. Higher ratings mean that the hearing device 
    is relatively immune to interference noise. 
    Under the current industry st andard, American National 
    Standards Institute (ANSI) C63.19, the hearing aid and 
    wireless mobile device rating values are added together to 
    indicate how usable they are together. For example, if a 
    hearing aid meets the M2 level rating and the wireless 
    mobile device meets the M3 level rating, the sum of the two 
    values equals M5. 
    Under the standard, th is should provide the hearing aid user 
    with normal use while using the hearing aid with the 
    particular wireless mobile devi ce. A sum of 6 or more would 
    indicate excellent performance.  
    However, these are not guarantees that all users will be 
    satisfied. T ratings work similarly. 
    						
    							229
     
    The HAC rating and measurement procedure are described in 
    the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) C63.19 
    standard.
    HAC for Newer Technologies
    This phone has been tested a nd 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.
    Restricting Childrens Access to Your 
    Mobile Device
    Your mobile device is not a toy. Do not allow children to play 
    with it because they could hurt themselves and others, 
    damage the mobile device, or make calls that increase your 
    mobile device bill.
    Keep the mobile device and al l its parts and accessories out 
    of the reach of  small children.
    FCC Notice and Cautions
    FCC Notice
    The mobile device may cause TV  or radio interference if used 
    in close proximity to receiving equipment. The FCC can 
    require you to stop using the mobile device if such 
    interference cannot be eliminated. Vehicles using liquefied 
    petroleum gas (such as propane  or butane) must comply with 
    M3                 +                    M2         =     5
    T3                 +                    T2         =     5

    the National Fire Protection Standard (NFPA-58). For a copy 
    of this standard, contact th
    e National Fire Protection 
    Association.
    Cautions
    Any changes or modifications to your mobile device not 
    expressly approved in this document could void your 
    warranty for this equipment and void your authority to 
    operate this equipment. Only use approved batteries, 
    antennas, and chargers. The  use of any unauthorized 
    accessories may be dangerous  and void the mobile device 
    warranty if said accessories cause damage or a defect to the 
    mobile device. 
    Although your mobile device is quite sturdy, it is a complex 
    piece of equipment and can  be broken. Avoid dropping, 
    hitting, bending, or sitting on it.
    Other Important Safety Information
    Only qualified personnel should service the mobile device or 
    install the mobile device in a vehicle. Faulty installation or service 
    may be dangerous and may invalidate any warranty applicable to 
    the device.
    Ensure that any mobile devices or related equipment installed in 
    your vehicle are securely mounted.
    Check regularly that all wireless mobile device equipment in your 
    vehicle is mounted and operating properly.
    When using a headset in dry environments, static electricity can 
    build up in the headset and cause a small quick static electrical 
    shock. To minimize the risk of  electrostatic discharge from the 
    headset avoid using the headset in extremely dry environments or 
    touch a grounded unpainted metal object to discharge static 
    electricity before inserting the headset.
    Do not store or carry flammable liquids, gases, or explosive 
    materials in the same compartment as the mobile device, its 
    parts, or accessories.
    For vehicles equipped with an air bag, remember that an air bag 
    inflates with great force. Do not place objects, including installed 
    or portable wireless equipment near or in the area over the air 
    bag or in the air bag deployment area. If wireless equipment is 
    improperly installed and the air bag inflates, serious injury could 
    result.
    Switch your mobile device off before boarding an aircraft. The use 
    of wireless mobile devices in aircraft is illegal and may be 
    dangerous to the aircrafts operation. Check with appropriate 
    authorities before using any function of a mobile device while on 
    an aircraft. 
    						
    							231
    Failure to observe these instructions may lead to the suspension 
    or denial of cell phone services to the offender, or legal action, or 
    both.
    While using your device, leave some lights on in the room and do 
    not hold the screen too close to your eyes.
    Seizures or blackouts can occur when you are exposed to flashing 
    lights while watching videos or playing games for extended 
    periods. If you feel any discomfort, stop using the device 
    immediately.
    Reduce risk of repetitive motion injuries. When you repetitively 
    perform actions, such as pressing keys, drawing characters on a 
    touch screen with your fingers, or playing games, you may 
    experience occasional discomfort in your hands, neck, shoulders, 
    or other parts of your body.  When using your device for extended 
    periods, hold the device with a relaxed grip, press the keys lightly, 
    and take frequent breaks. If you continue to have discomfort 
    during or after such use, stop use and see a physician.
    If your device has a camera flash or light, do not use the flash or 
    light close to the eyes of people or pets. [122011]
