2.3.2 Warnings for Use of Wireless Devices
CAUTION
Please observe all warning notices with regard to the usage of wireless devices.
2.3.3 Safety in Aircraft
Switch off your wireless device whenever you are instructed to do so by airport or airline
staff. If your device offers a ‘flight mode’ or similar feature, consult airline staff as to its use
in flight.
2.3.4 Safety in Hospitals
Wireless devices transmit radio frequency energy and may affect medical electrical
equipment.
Wireless devices should be switched off wherever you are requested to do so in hospitals,
clinics or healthcare facilities. These requests are designed to prevent possible interference
with sensitive medical equipment.
When installed adjacent to other equipment, it is advised to verify that the adjacent
equipment is not adversely affected.
2.3.5 Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommended that a minimum of 15 cm (6 inches) be
maintained between a handheld wireless device and a pacemaker to avoid potential
interference with the pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with independent
research and recommendations by Wireless Technology Research.
Persons with Pacemakers:
Should ALWAYS keep the device more than 15 cm (6 inches) from their
pacemaker when turned ON.
Should not carry the device in a breast pocket.
Should use the ear furthest from the pacemaker to minimize the potential for
interference.
If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, turn OFF your
device.
2.3.6 Other Medical Devices
Please consult your physician or the manufacturer of the medical device, to determine if the
operation of your wireless product may interfere with the medical device.

2.5 Batteries
2.5.1 Battery information
CAUTION
Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type.
Dispose of batteries according to instructions.
Use only BARTEC approved batteries.
Accessories which have battery charging capability are approved for use with the
following battery models:
Standard battery –Type B7-A2Z0-0075 (3.85 V / 3300 mAh)
Extended battery –Type B7-A2Z0-0080 (3.85 V / 5000 mAh)
BARTEC approved rechargeable batteries are designed and constructed to the highest
standards within the industry.
However, there are limitations to how long a battery can operate or be stored before needing
replacement. Many factors affect the actual life cycle of a battery pack, such as heat, cold,
harsh environmental conditions and severe drops.
When batteries are stored over six (6) months, some irreversible deterioration in overall
battery quality may occur. Store batteries at half of full charge in a dry, cool place, removed
from the equipment to prevent loss of capacity, rusting of metallic parts and electrolyte
leakage.
When storing batteries for one year or longer, the charge level should be verified at least
once a year and charged to half of full charge.
Replace the battery when a significant loss of run time is detected.
2.5.2 Battery Safety Guidelines
IMPORTANT –SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS –SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
When using this product basic safety precautions should always be followed, including
the following:
The area in which the units are charged should be clear of debris and combustible
materials or chemicals. Particular care should be taken where the device is charged in
a non-commercial environment.
Read all the instructions before using the product.
Follow battery usage, storage, and charging guidelines found in the Quick Start
Guide.
Improper battery use may result in a fire, explosion, or other hazard.

of water and seek medical advice.
2.6 Use with Hearing Aids - FCC
When some wireless devices are used near some hearing devices (hearing aids and
cochlear implants), users may detect a buzzing, humming, or whining noise. Some hearing
devices are more immune than others to this interference noise, and wireless devices also
vary in the amount of interference they generate. In the event of interference you may want
to consult your hearing aid supplier to discuss solutions.
The wireless telephone industry has developed ratings for some of their mobile phones to
assist hearing device users in finding phones that may be compatible with their hearing
devices. Not all phones have been rated.
The ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary depending on the user's hearing device
and hearing loss. If your hearing device happens to be vulnerable to interference, you may
not be able to use a rated phone successfully. Trying out the phone with your hearing device
is the best way to evaluate it for your personal needs.

2.6.1 ANSI C63.19 Rating System
M-Ratings: Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to generate less
interference to hearing devices than phones that are not labeled. M4 is the better/higher of
the two ratings.
T-Ratings: Phones rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to be more usable
with a hearing device's telecoil ('T Switch' or 'Telephone Switch') than unrated phones. T4
is the better/higher of the two ratings. (Note that not all hearing devices have telecoils in
them.) Hearing devices may also be measured for immunity to this type of interference.
Your hearing device manufacturer or hearing health professional may help you find results
for your hearing device. The more immune your hearing aid is, the less likely you are to
experience interference noise from mobile phones.
2.6.2 Hearing Aid Compatibility
This phone has been tested and rated for use with hearing aids for some of the wireless
technologies that it uses. However, there may be some newer wireless technologies used
in this phone that have not been tested yet for use with hearing aids. It is important to try
the different features of this phone thoroughly and in different locations using your hearing
aid or cochlear implant to determine if you hear any interfering noise. Consult your service
provider or the manufacturer of this phone for information on hearing aid compatibility. If
you have questions about return or exchange policies, consult your service provider or
phone retailer.
This phone has been tested to ANSI C63.19 and rated for use with hearing aids; it received
an M3 and T3 rating. This device is marked HAC showing compliance with the applicable
requirements of the FCC.
2.7 Radio Frequency Interference Requirements-FCC
This device 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.
Note: This equipment 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 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.
