Maintaining Safe Use of and Access to Your Phone

Do Not Rely on Your Phone for Emergency Calls

Mobile phones use radio signals, which do not guarantee connection in all conditions. Therefore, do not rely solely on any mobile phone for essential communication, such as medical emergencies. Emergency calls may not be possible on all cellular networks or when certain network services or mobile phone features are active. Consult your local service provider for details.

Using Your Phone While Driving

Talking on your phone while driving (or operating it without a hands-free device) is prohibited in some jurisdictions. Laws vary, so always prioritize safety.

Following Safety Guidelines

To operate your phone safely and efficiently, always adhere to special regulations in any given area. Turn off your phone where use is forbidden or when it might cause interference or danger.

Medical Devices

If you have an implantable medical device, such as a pacemaker or defibrillator, consult your healthcare provider and the device manufacturer's instructions before using this mobile phone.

For persons with implantable medical devices:

Always keep the mobile phone more than six (6) inches from the implantable medical device when the mobile phone is turned ON.
Do not carry the mobile phone in the breast pocket.
Use the ear opposite the implantable medical device to minimize potential interference.
Turn OFF the mobile phone immediately if there is any reason to suspect interference is occurring.

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 can affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic operating or entertainment systems in motor vehicles. Consult the manufacturer or their representative to determine if these systems are adequately shielded from external RF signals. Also, check with the manufacturer regarding any added vehicle equipment.

Consult the manufacturer of personal medical devices, such as pacemakers, defibrillators, and hearing aids, to determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF signals.

Note: When using the phone in and near healthcare facilities, always determine the facility's policy regarding cell phone usage and request permission before using the phone near medical equipment.

Using Your Phone On Airplanes

On airplanes, follow applicable airline regulations and flight crew instructions concerning phone use.

Turning Off Your Phone in Dangerous Areas

To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn off your phone in blasting areas or 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 off your phone in any potentially explosive atmosphere. Although rare, connecting or disconnecting accessories can generate sparks, potentially causing an explosion or fire, leading to bodily injury or 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 vehicle compartment containing your phone or accessories.

Note: Your phone complies with the Standards for Hazardous Location Equipment. Refer to the section “Using Your Phone in Hazardous Locations” for details.

Refer to the User Guide for instructions on how to dry your phone, especially after using the camera's Underwater Mode.
Dry your phone with a clean cloth before charging.

Using Your Phone With a Hearing Aid and Cochlear Implants

This phone is hearing aid compatible, tested and certified to IEEE/ANSI C63.19-2011 with an M4 and a T4 rating.

FCC hearing aid compatibility rules require certain phones to be tested and certified under the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) / American National Standard Institute (ANSI) C63.19 hearing-aid compatibility standards. The IEEE/ANSI standard C63.19-2011 was developed to provide a standardized means of measuring both wireless phone and hearing devices (including hearing aids and cochlear implants) to determine usability rating categories.

The IEEE/ANSI C63.19-2011 standard for hearing aid compatibility contains two types of ratings:

M-Ratings

Indicates the RF interference level from the phone to a hearing device when used in acoustic coupling mode. Ratings are M1 through M4, where M1 has the most interference and M4 has the least. For FCC HAC compliance, a phone must have an M3 or M4 rating.

T-Ratings

Indicates the inductive coupling capability of the phone to a hearing device in telecoil mode. Ratings are T1 through T4, where T1 provides the least coupling and T4 provides the most. For FCC HAC compliance, a phone must have a T3 or T4 rating.

These ratings are not guarantees; results vary based on the user's hearing device and the individual's type and degree of hearing loss. When some wireless phones are used with certain hearing devices, users may detect noise that interferes with the hearing device's effectiveness.

If a hearing device is particularly vulnerable to interference noise, even a phone with a higher rating may still cause unacceptable noise levels. Trying out the phone in different locations and using its features with your hearing device is the best way to evaluate it for personal needs.

Hearing aids may also be tested for immunity to interference noise from wireless phones and should have similar ratings. Ask your hearing healthcare professional for your hearing aid's rating. To determine probable usability, add the rating of your hearing aid and your phone:

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.

For example, an M3 hearing aid paired with an M3 phone yields a combined rating of six for Models: V65E7200, V65E7200 e7200, DuraForce Pro3, DuraForce Pro3 Smartphone, Smartphone
