Operational Warnings

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON SAFE AND EFFICIENT OPERATION.
Read this information before using your integrated multi-service portable
radio.

For the safe and efficient operation of your radio, observe these

guidelines:

Potentially Unsafe Areas / Potentially explosive atmospheres

Obey all

signs and instructions regarding turning off your smartphone. In particular,
turn off your smartphone when you are in any areas with a potentially
explosive atmosphere, such as fueling areas (gas or petrol stations, below
deck on boats), storage facilities for fuel or chemicals, blasting areas and
areas near electrical blasting caps, and areas where there are chemicals
or particles (such as metal powders, grains, and dust) in the air.

Interference to Medical and Personal Electronic Devices

Most but not

all electronic equipment is shielded from RF signals and certain electronic
equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals from your
smartphone.

Pacemakers

The Health Industry Manufacturers Association

recommends that a minimum separation of six inches (6") be maintained
between a smartphone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference
with the pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with the

independent research by the recommendations of Wireless Technology
Research.

Persons with pacemakers should:

•ALWAYS keep the smartphone more than six inches from their
pacemaker when the smartphone is turned ON.
•Not carry the smartphone in a breast pocket.
•Use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for
interference.
•Turn the smartphone OFF immediately if you have any reason to
suspect that interference is taking place.

Audio Safety

Some hearing aids may be affected by some digital

smartphones. You may want to consult your doctor in the event of you
experience interference with your hearing aid while using your
smartphone. When using the speakerphone feature, it is recommended
that you place your smartphone at a safe distance from your ear.

Other Medical Devices

If you use any other personal medical device,

consult the manufacturer of your device to determine if it is adequately
shielded from external RF energy. Your physician may be able to assist you
in obtaining this information.

Turn your smartphone OFF in health care facilities when any regulations

posted in these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care
facilities may be using equipment that could be sensitive to external RF
energy.

Interference to Other Electronic Devices

RF energy may affect

improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic operating and
entertainment systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or
representative to determine if these systems are adequately shielded from
external RF energy. Also check with the manufacturer of any equipment
that has been added to the vehicle.

Repetitive Motion Injuries

When using the keyboard or playing games

on your smartphone, you may experience discomfort in your neck,
shoulders, hands, arms, of other parts of the body. To avoid any injury, such
as tendonitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, or other musculoskeletal disorder,
make sure to take necessary breaks from use, take longer rests (such as
several hours) if discomfort or tiring begins, and see a doctor if discomfort
persists.

Blackouts and Seizures

Blinking lights, such as those experienced with

television or playing video games, may cause some people to experience
blackout or seizure, even if never experienced before. In the event a
smartphone user should experience any disorientation, loss of awareness,
convulsion, eye or muscle twitching or other involuntary movements, stop
use immediately and consult a doctor. Individuals with personal or family

Using TTY

A TTY (also known as TDD or text telephone) is a

telecommunications device that allows people who are deaf or hard

communicate by telephone.

Your Treo 650 is compatible with select TTY devices. You can

connect a TTY/TDD machine to your phone through the headset
jack, but you cannot use your headset jack with a headset while this
mode is enabled. Please check with the manufacturer of your TTY
device for connectivity information and to ensure that the TTY device
supports digital wireless transmission.

To use TTY, you may need to make additional arrangements with

your wireless service provider. Please contact your wireless service
provider’s customer service department for more information.
