Section 1A: Setting Up Service 5 Safety Precautions Handling the Phone, Battery and Charger Only use the battery and charger specified for the phone. Failure to do so can result in damage to the phone, electric shock or fire. Do not store or operate the phone or charger in hot, damp, or dusty areas, which can damage electrical and mechanical components. Avoid prolonged exposure to temperatures below 5°C (41°F) or in excess of 35°C (95°F). Do not drop, shake or throw the phone or charger. Rough handling can damage internal circuit boards and the battery pack. Do not use the phone in the vicinity of volatile gases. Leave the area before using the phone. Failure to leave the area can result in the risk of fire or an explosion. Do not disassemble or modify the phone, charger, or battery. Incorrect modifications, reassembly, or tampering may result in malfunction or personal injury. Handling the Phone Do not use the phone while operating a vehicle. Observe local regulations for specialized areas (hospital, aircraft, etc) when using the phone. Do not use the phone near electronic equipment prone to interference. Radio frequency interference may result in electronic equipment malfunction. The following electronic equipment may be affected: Hearing aids, pacemakers and other clinical electronic devices, smoke detectors, automatic doors and other automatically controlled devices. 6 Section 1A: Setting Up Service Setting Up Service Keep all storage media (magnetic cards, floppy disks, credit cards, etc.) away from the phone. Close contact can erase or damage the storage media. Keep all sharp metal objects (pins, nails, hairpins etc.) away from the phone handset. The handset earpiece contains a strong magnet that can attract and hold metal objects. To avoid personal injury, remove any objects from the handset earpiece before using. Handling the Battery Do not dispose of the battery pack in a fire. It may explode. Check with local waste management codes for disposal instructions. Do not force the battery pack into the phone. Improper installation can cause malfunctions or damage the battery pack. This may result in fire or personal injury. Use caution in handling batteries in order not to short the battery on conductive materials such as rings, bracelets, and keys. The battery and/or conductor may overheat and cause burns. If the battery becomes too hot while recharging, it should be removed immediately from the charger. When clothes or skin are exposed to battery leakage, rinse with clean water at once to prevent skin irritation. Do not use a cracked, leaking or odor-emitting battery pack near an open flame or high temperatures. If a fully discharged battery is stored for a long period of time, it may not be possible to recharge the battery. Observe local waste management codes for proper battery disposal instructions. Section 1A: Setting Up Service 7 Handling the Charger Only use a power source that provides the appropriate voltage (AC100~240 V) for the charger. An unsuitable power source can result in damage to the charger, electric shock or fire. Do not use the charger if the power supply cord or plug is damaged or frayed (exposed or broken wires, etc). This can result in the risk of fire or electric shock. Do not short circuit the charger connector jack. This may result in fire or electric shock. In the event that liquid is spilled into the unit, immediately unplug the charger from the wall outlet to prevent fire or electric shock. To avoid the risk of electric shock, always unplug the charger from the wall outlet before cleaning. To avoid damage, do not place heavy objects on the cord. To avoid damage and the risk of electric shock, always grip the power plug when removing the charger from the wall outlet. Do not pull on the power supply cord. 8 Section 1A: Setting Up Service Setting Up Service Getting Help Directory Assistance You have access to a variety of services and information through Directory Assistance, including residential, business, and government listings; assistance with local or long-distance calls; movie listings; and hotel, restaurant, shopping, and major local event information.
