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 Treo
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
history of such events should consult a doctor before using the device. To
limit the possibility of such symptoms, wherever possible every hour take a
minimum of 15 minutes, use in a well lighted area, view the screen from
the farthest distance and avoid exposure to blinking lights if you are tired.
Aircraft While in aircraft, follow all instructions regarding the operation of
your Treo. Use of your Treo while on board on aircraft must be done in
accordance in compliance with airline instructions and regulations.
Vehicles with Air Bags Your Treo should not be placed in a position that
would affect the operation of air bag deployment or in a position that,
should the air bag inflate, could propel the Treo. Air bags will inflate with
great force and care should be taken to protect within a vehicle that has
air bags.
Battery Your Treo includes an internal lithium ion battery. Please note
that use of certain data applications can result in heavy battery use and
may require frequent battery charging. Any disposal of the phone must
comply with laws and regulations pertaining to lithium ion batteries.

Driving Safety Tips Details
1. Get to know your phone and its features such as speed dial and redial.
Carefully read your instruction manual and learn to take advantage of
valuable features most phones offer including, automatic redial and
memory dial-most phones can store up to 99 numbers in memory dial.
Also, work to memorize the phone keypad so you can use the speed
dial function without taking your attention off the road.
2. When available, use a hands-free device. A number of hands-free
wireless phone accessories are readily available today. Whether you
choose an installed mounted device for your phone or a speaker phone
accessory, take advantage of these devices if available to you.
3. Position your phone within easy reach. Make sure you place your
wireless phone within easy reach and where you can grab it without
removing your eyes from the road. If you get an incoming call at an
inconvenient time, let your voice mail answer it for you.
4. Suspend conversations during hazardous driving conditions or
situations. Let the person you are speaking to know you are driving; if
necessary, suspend the call in heavy traffic or hazardous weather
conditions. Rain, sleet, snow and ice can be hazardous, but so is heavy
traffic. As a driver, your first responsibility is to pay attention to the road.
5. Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while driving. If you are
reading an address book or business card while driving a car, or writing
a “to do” list, then you are not watching where you are going. It’s
common sense. Don’t get caught in a dangerous situation because you
are reading or writing and not paying attention to the road or nearby
vehicles.
6. Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place calls when you are
not moving or before pulling into traffic. Try to plan your calls before you
begin your trip, or attempt to coincide your calls with times you may be
stopped at a stop sign, red light or otherwise stationary. But if you need
to dial while driving, follow this simple tip-dial only a few numbers, check
the road and your mirrors, then continue.
7. Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that may be
distracting. Stressful or emotional conversations and driving do not mix-
they are distracting and even dangerous when you are behind the
wheel. Make people you are talking with aware you are driving and if
necessary, suspend phone conversations which have the potential to
divert your attention from the road.
8. Use your phone to call for help. Your wireless phone is one of the
greatest tools you can own to protect yourself and your family in
dangerous situations-with your phone at your side, help is only three
numbers away. Dial 9-1-1 in the case of fire, traffic accident, road
hazard, or medical emergencies. Remember, 9-1-1is a free call on your
wireless phone!
