Restricting Children's Access to your Phone Your STi Mobile phone is not a toy. Children should not be allowed to play with it because they could hurt themselves and others, damage the phone or make calls that increase your phone bill. Caring for the Battery Protecting Your Battery The guidelines listed below help you get the most out of your battery's performance. _ Use only STi Mobile-approved batteries and desktop chargers. These chargers are designed to maximize battery life. Using other batteries or chargers voids your warranty and may cause damage. _ In order to avoid damage, charge the battery only in temperatures that range from 32º F to 113º F (0º C to 45º C). _ Don't use the battery charger in direct sunlight or in high humidity areas, such as the bathroom. _ Never dispose of the battery by incineration. _ Keep the metal contacts on top of the battery clean. _ Don't attempt to disassemble or short-circuit the battery. _ The battery may need recharging if it has not been used for a long period of time. _ It's best to replace the battery when it no longer provides acceptable performance. It can be recharged hundreds of times before it needs replacing. _ Don't store the battery in high temperature areas for long periods of time. It's best to follow these storage rules: Less than one month: 4º F to 140º F (-20º C to 60º C) More than one month: 4º F to 113º F (-20º C to 45º C) Disposal of Lithium Ion (Lilon) Batteries For safe disposal options of your LiIon batteries, contact your nearest STi Mobile-authorized service center. Special Note: Be sure to dispose of your battery properly. In some areas, the disposal of batteries in household or business trash may be prohibited. Note: For safety, do not handle a damaged or leaking LiIon battery. Acknowledging Special Precautions and the FCC Notice FCC Notice The phone may cause TV or radio interference if used in close proximity to receiving equipment. The FCC can require you to stop using the phone if such interference cannot be eliminated. Vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane) must comply with the National Fire Protection Standard (NFPA-58). For a copy of this standard, contact the National Fire Protection Association, One Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269, Attn: Publication Sales Division. Cautions Any changes or modifications to your phone 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 phone warranty if said accessories cause damage or a defect to the phone. Although your phone is quite sturdy, it is a complex piece of equipment and can be broken. Avoid dropping, hitting, bending or sitting on it. Body-Worn Operation To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines, if you wear a handset on your body, use the STi Mobile supplied or approved carrying case, holster or other body-worn accessory. If you do not use a body-worn accessory, ensure that the antenna is at least 7/16 inch (1.5 centimeters) from your body when transmitting. Use of non-STi Mobile approved accessories may violate FCC RF exposure guidelines. For more information about RF exposure, please visit the FCC Web site at www.fcc.gov. Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) for Wireless Phones The SAR is a value that corresponds to the relative amount of RF energy absorbed in the head of a user of a wireless handset. The SAR value of a phone is the result of an extensive testing, measuring and calculation process. It does not represent how much RF the phone emits. All phone models are tested at their highest value in strict laboratory settings. But when in operation, the SAR of a phone can be substantially less than the level reported to the FCC. This is because of a variety of factors including its proximity to a base station antenna, phone design and other factors. What is important to remember is that each phone meets strict federal guidelines. Variations in SARs do not represent a variation in safety. All phones must meet the federal standard, which incorporates a substantial margin 30
