Important Safety Information Maintaining Safe Use of and Access to Your Device Do Not Rely on Your Device for Emergency Calls Mobile devices operate using radio signals, which cannot guarantee connection in all conditions. Therefore you should never rely solely upon any mobile device for essential communication (e.g., medical emergencies). Emergency calls may not be possible on all cellular networks or when certain network services or mobile device features are in use. Check with your local service provider for details. Using Your Device While Driving Talking on your device while driving (or operating the device without a hands-free device) is prohibited in some jurisdictions. Laws vary as to specific restrictions. Remember that safety always comes first. Tip Purchase an optional hands-free accessory at your local Sprint Store, or call Sprint at 1-800-974-2221. You can also dial # 2 2 2 on your device. Following Safety Guidelines To operate your device safely and efficiently, always follow any special regulations in a given area. Turn your device off in areas where use is forbidden or when it may cause interference or danger. Using Your Device Near Other Electronic Devices Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from radio frequency (RF) signals. However, RF signals from wireless devices 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 device in healthcare facilities, and request permission before using the device near medical equipment. Turning Off Your Device Before Flying Turn off your device before boarding any aircraft. To prevent possible interference with aircraft systems, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations require you to have permission from a crew member to use your device while the plane is on the ground.

Maintaining Safe Use of and Access

to Your Device

Do Not Rely on Your Device for Emergency Calls

Mobile devices operate using radio signals, which cannot

guarantee connection in all conditions. Therefore you should

never rely solely upon any mobile device for essential

communication (e.g., medical emergencies). Emergency calls

may not be possible on all cellular networks or when certain

network services or mobile device features are in use. Check

with your local service provider for details.

Using Your Device While Driving

Talking on your device while driving (or operating the device

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 device safely and efficiently, always follow any

special regulations in a given area. Turn your device off in

areas where use is forbidden or when it may cause

interference or danger.

Using Your Device Near Other Electronic Devices

Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from radio

frequency (RF) signals. However, RF signals from wireless

devices 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.

Turning Off Your Device Before Flying

Turn off your device before boarding any aircraft. To prevent

possible interference with aircraft systems, the U.S. Federal

Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations require you to have

permission from a crew member to use your device while the

plane is on the ground. To prevent any risk of interference, FCC

regulations prohibit using your device while the plane is in the

air.

Tip

Purchase an optional hands-free accessory at your local

Sprint Store, or call Sprint at 1-800-974-2221. You can also

dial

# 2 2 2

on your device.

Note

Always turn off the device in healthcare facilities, and

request permission before using the device near medical

equipment.
