Appendix

• Switch your phone off when in an area with a potentially explosive

atmosphere (for example fuel storage areas, spray paint facilities
etc.).

• Only qualified personnel should install the device in a vehicle.

Faulty installation or service may be dangerous and may invalidate
any warranty. For more information, check with the manufacturer
or its representative of your vehicle.

Electronic Devices

• If you wear a pacemaker, or are in the company of someone who

does, you should be aware that there is small risk of your phone
interfering with the operation of the pacemaker. Only certain types
of pacemaker are affected and only if the mobile phone is placed
next to it. You should contact your doctor or the manufacturer of
the pacemaker for more information.

• Your phone may interfere with some hearing aids. If this happens

you should contact your service provider or doctor.

• Your phone may interfere with the functionality of inadequately

shielded medical devices. Consult a physician or the manufacturer
of the device to ensure safe procedure.

• Your phone may interfere with the functionality of any inadequately

shielded electronic system in a motor vehicle. Examples of this
type of system include air-bags and fuel injection. You should
contact the manufacturer of the vehicle to ensure that it is properly
shielded.

Battery Safety

Your device is powered by a rechargeable battery. The full
performance of a new battery is achieved only after two or three
complete charge and discharge cycles. The battery can be charged
and discharged hundreds of times but it will eventually wear out.
When the talk and standby times are noticeably shorter than normal,
buy a new battery.
• A new battery or one that has not been used for a long time could

have reduced capacity the first few times it is used. The battery
can only be charged in temperatures between +5°C (+41°F) and
+35°C (+95°F).

• Only use batteries approved by Toshiba and only recharge the

battery with the recommended charger supplied by Toshiba.

• When the charger is not in use disconnect it from the power

source.

• Do not leave the battery connected to the charger and power

source for longer than necessary as overcharging it will shorten its
life.

• Do not short-circuit the battery. Accidental short-circulating can

occur when a metallic object causes a direct connection between
the + and - terminals of the battery.

• Do not leave the battery in a cold (for example, a fridge) or hot

place (for example, in a car exposed to direct sunlight) as this will
effect its performance.

• Do not dispose of the battery in a fire.
