Battery cautions
Storage: Avoid storing or leaving the battery with no charge remaining.
Saved information and settings may become lost or changed, or the
battery may become unusable. Charge once every six months before
storing or leaving unused for a long period of time.

Charge the battery

Follow these instructions to charge your phone’s battery using either the
included AC adapter or via USB connection on your computer.

2. Connect the other end to the power adapter.
3. Connect the power adapter to an electrical outlet to fully charge your
phone.
• Use the power adapter that comes with your phone; using other
adapters may damage your phone.
• Charging your phone with a USB cable connected to a laptop will take
longer than with the power adapter.
• The phone will power off automatically when the battery is too low.
Charge the battery if this happens. When the battery is critically low, the
phone may need a few minutes to build a charge before turning back
on. Playing games or performing other activities while charging may
drain the battery and cause it to power off.
• The battery will gradually discharge if it is left unused for an extended
period. Before using the battery again, you must recharge it in order to
power on and use your phone normally.

Regulatory agency identifications

FCC Regulations
This mobile phone complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not
cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
This mobile phone has been tested and found to comply with the limits for
a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in
a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate
radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off
230
and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or
more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to
which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
• Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible
for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

RF Exposure Information (SAR)

This mobile phone meets the government’s requirements for exposure to
radio waves. This phone is designed and manufactured not to exceed the
emission limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal
Communications Commission of the U.S. Government. The exposure standard
for wireless mobile phones employs a unit of measurement known as the
Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg. Tests
for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions accepted by
the FCC with the phone transmitting at its highest certified power level in all
tested frequency bands.
Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual
SAR level of the phone while operating can be well below the maximum
value. This is because the phone is designed to operate at multiple power
levels so as to use only the power required to reach the network. In general,
the closer you are to a wireless base station, the lower the power output.
The highest SAR value for the model phone as reported to the FCC when
tested for use at the head is 0.74 W/kg, and when worn on the body is 1.07
W/kg.
231
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones and
at various positions, they all meet the government requirement.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model phone with
all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure
guidelines. SAR information on this model phone is on file with the FCC and
can be found under the Display Grant section of www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid
after searching on FCC ID: 2APXW-WTATTRW2.
For body-worn operation, this phone has been tested and meets the FCC RF
exposure guidelines for use with an accessory that contains no metal and
the positions the handset a minimum of 1.5 cm from the body. Use of other
accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines.
If you do not use a body-worn accessory and are not holding the phone at
the ear, position the handset a minimum of 1.5 cm from your body when the
phone is switched on.

Hearing Aid Compatibility

(HAC) for Wireless Telecommunication Devices
This phone has a HAC rating of M4/T4.
What is hearing aid compatibility?
The Federal Communications Commission has implemented rules and a
rating system designed to enable people who wear hearing aids to more
effectively use these wireless telecommunications devices. The standard
for compatibility of digital wireless phones with hearing aids is set forth in
American National Standard Institute (ANSI) standard C63.19. There are
two sets of ANSI standards with ratings from one to four (four being the
best rating): an “M” rating for reduced interference making it easier to hear
conversations on the phone when using the hearing aid microphone, and a
232
“T” rating that enables the phone to be used with hearing aids operating in
the telecoil mode thus reducing unwanted background noise.

How will I know which wireless phones are hearing aid compatible?
The Hearing Aid Compatibility rating is displayed on the wireless phone
box. A phone is considered Hearing Aid Compatible for acoustic coupling
(microphone mode) if it has an “M3” or “M4” rating. A digital wireless phone is
considered Hearing Aid Compatible for inductive coupling (telecoil mode) if
it has a “T3” or “T4” rating.
