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
Using TTY
A TTY (also known as TDD or text telephone) is a
telecommunications device that allows people who are deaf or
hard of hearing, or who have speech or language disabilities, to
communicate by telephone.
Your Palm Treo 700w smartphone is compatible with select
TTY devices. You can connect a TTY/TDD machine to your
smartphone through the headset jack, but you cannot use your
headset jack with a headset or hands-free kit 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 Verizon Wireless. Please contact Verizon Wireless’s
customer service department for more information.
1. Press the Start button and select Settings.
2. Select Personal, and then select Phone.
3. Select Phone.
4. Select the TTY/TDD list, and then select either Default mode,
VCO mode, or HCO mode.
5. Press OK. A keyboard icon appears at the top of your Today
screen whenever TTY is enabled.
To disable TTY, repeat steps 1 and 2.
