Important Safety Information 91
Water lodged in the headset jack may
cause the phone to falsely detect an
inserted headset (in which case the
loudspeaker and/or earpiece audio will be
disabled) until the water is removed. Water
in the microphone port may affect outbound
audio quality. These are temporary
conditions and will subside once the phone
is dry.
1. Do not open the battery door as this
may allow water to get inside the sealed
portion of the phone.
2. Wipe the phone surfaces with a dry
clean cloth.
3.
Water in the phone’s open ports may
affect sound quality and should be
removed with puffs of air directly into the
ports. Phone audio may not operate
properly until ports are dry. Apply a dry
clean cloth to the open areas and
crevices to remove the moisture left on
the phone: microphones; speakers;
power button; volume button; headset
jack; and charger/accessory jack.
4. Repeat the process until the phone is
completely dry.
Charging
● Dry your phone with a clean cloth before
charging.
● Do not touch the charger, charging
cable, or charger/accessory jack with
wet hands. Doing so may cause electric
shock, injury, or product failure.
● Do not charge your phone in a wet or
damp place, such as in a bathroom or
near a kitchen sink.
Using Your Phone With a
Hearing Aid Device
When some wireless phones are used with
certain hearing devices (including hearing
aids and cochlear implants), users may
detect a noise which can interfere with the
effectiveness of the hearing device.
Some hearing devices are more immune
than others to this interference noise, and
phones also vary in the amount of
interference noise they may generate. ANSI
standard C63.19 was developed to provide
a standardized means of measuring both
wireless phone and hearing devices to
determine usability rating categories for
both.
Ratings have been developed for mobile
phones to assist hearing device users in
finding phones that may be compatible with
their hearing device. Not all phones have
been rated for compatibility with hearing
devices. Phones that have been rated have
a label located on the box. Your Hydro
LIFE has an M3 and a T3 rating.
These ratings are not guarantees. Results
will vary depending on the user’s hearing
device and the individual’s type and degree
of hearing loss. If a hearing device is
particularly vulnerable to interference noise;
even a phone with a higher rating may still
