> When Driving

> Do Not Use the PC Functions of Your Device While Driving or Walking

> Never use the personal computer functions of your device while driving an automobile or any other moving vehicle. Always pull out of traffic and come to a stop in a legally permissible and safe location before using your device. Failure to do so could result in serious bodily injury in a traffic accident.

> When driving:

> | Always secure your device in its leather pouch.

> | Never place your device on the passenger seat or anyplace else in the car where it can become a projectile during a collision or stop.

> | An air bag inflates with great force. DO NOT place objects, including either installed or portable wireless equipment, in the area over the air bag or in the air bag deployment area. If in-vehicle wireless equipment is improperly installed and the air bag inflates, serious injury could result.

> Never store or transport flammable liquids, gases or explosive materials in the same compartment of your automobile as the device or any of its accessories, as possible sparking in the device could cause ignition or explosion.

> Never use your device while walking. Usage while walking could result in bodily injury caused by inattention to automobile traffic or other pedestrian hazards.

> Using The Phone While Driving Is Extremely Dangerous

> Talking on or using your device while driving is extremely dangerous and is illegal in some states. Remember, safety comes first. Check the laws and regulations on the use of phones in the areas where you drive. Always obey them.

> If you must use the phone function while driving, please:

> | Give full attention to driving. Driving safely is your first responsibility.

> | Use hands-free operation and/or one-touch, speed dialing, and auto answer modes.

> | Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call.

> Warning | Failure to follow these instructions could lead to serious personal injury and possible property damage.

> When Using Your Device Near Other Electronic Devices

> Your wireless handheld portable device is a low power radio transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it receives and also sends out radio frequency (RF) signals.

> Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF energy. However, certain electronic equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals from your wireless device; therefore, use of your device must be restricted in certain situations.

> In addition, the computer portion of your device produces low levels of RF energy due to the generation of digital timing pulses by its clock oscillator circuits. Your device has been equipped with internal shielding to minimize stray emissions of RF energy. However, use of the computer functions of your device must be restricted in certain situations.

> Hearing Aids

> Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of such interference, you may want to consult your service provider, or call the customer service line to discuss alternatives.

> For more regulatory information about hearing devices, see “FCC Hearing-Aid Compatibility (HAC) Regulations for Wireless Devices”.

> Electronic Devices in Vehicles

> RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or its representative regarding your vehicle. You should also consult the manufacturer of any equipment that has been added to your vehicle.

> Posted Facilities

> Turn your device OFF where posted notices so require.

> Turn Off Your Device Before Flying

> Aircraft

> FCC regulations prohibit using the transmitting and phone functions of your device while in the air. In addition, most airline regulations prohibit the on-board use of portable PCs (and all other portable electronic devices that could potentially emit stray RF energy), particularly during take-offs and landings, to prevent any possible interference with the reception of signals by airborne electronic navigational devices.

> Turn your device OFF before boarding an aircraft. Always request and obtain prior consent and approval of an authorized airline representative before using your device aboard an aircraft. Always follow the instructions of the airline representative whenever using your device aboard an aircraft, to prevent any possible interference with airborne electronic equipment.

> Turn Off Your Device in Dangerous Areas

> Blasting Areas

> To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your device OFF when in a “blasting area” or in areas posted “Turn off two-way radio”. Obey all signs and instructions.

> Potentially Explosive Atmospheres

> Turn your 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.

> Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere 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; vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane); areas where the air contains chemicals or articles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders; and any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle’s engine.

> General Safety and Other Precautions

> Your device is a high quality piece of equipment. Before operating, read all instructions and cautionary markings on the product, battery and AC phone charger.

> Failure to follow the directions below could result in serious bodily injury and/or property damage due to battery liquid leakage, fire or rupture.

> DO NOT use or store this equipment in a place where it will be exposed to high temperatures, such as near an open flame or heat-emitting equipment.

> DO NOT drop your device or subject it to severe shock. When not using, lay down the unit to avoid possible damage due to instability.
