IMPORTANT SAFETY
INFORMATION
Please read these safety instructions and the operation instructions
provided in this manual before operating the RIM 957 Wireless
Handheld or its charging cradle. Retain these instructions for future
use.
Remember to follow any special regulations governing the use of
the RIM 957 Wireless Handheld and always switch it off in areas
where radio devices are forbidden, or when it may cause
interference or danger. Any safety laws and regulations pertaining
to the use of cell phones and two-way radios will likely apply to
your use of the handheld. We encourage you to follow such laws
and regulations at all times. In particular, please observe all
restrictions on the use of radio equipment in fuel depots (fuel
storage and distribution areas), chemical plants, where blasting
operations are in progress or in any other area in which restrictions
on radio transmissions are imposed. In addition, the RIM 957
Wireless Handheld should not be used in locations that may be
hazardous including, without limitation, locations in which
hazardous or combustible gases may be present.
The RIM 957 Wireless Handheld is not an FAA-approved electronic
device for use on aircraft. Switch off the handheld when in an
aircraft. The effect of the use of the handheld in an aircraft is
unknown. Such use may affect aircraft instrumentation,
communication and performance, may disrupt the network, and
may be illegal.
Operation of any radio transmitting equipment, including the
handheld, may interfere with the functionality of inadequately
protected medical devices, including pacemakers. Consult a
physician or the manufacturer of the medical device if you have any

questions. Operation of any radio transmitting equipment,
including the handheld, may interfere with the functionality of
inadequately protected medical devices, including pacemakers.
Consult a physician or the manufacturer of the medical device if
you have any questions. Additionally, while most modern
equipment is adequately shielded from radio signals such that your
handheld will not interfere with the operation of such equipment,
certain electronic equipment, including automotive systems, may
not be shielded against the radio signals from your handheld. You
should check with the manufacturer of your motor vehicle or the
manufacturer’s representative to determine whether the use of the
handheld will present any safety issues.
Avoid using the handheld in any environment requiring your full
attention, such as when driving a vehicle. If you need to use your
handheld while driving, have a passenger in the vehicle use the
handheld for you, or find a safe location to halt your vehicle prior to
using the handheld. Do not use the cradle as a means of storing your
handheld while in a vehicle.When using a cradle, make sure that it
is a cradle that RIM has supplied for that particular use of your
handheld. Do not use any cradle, charging unit or any other
accessory or attachment that is not manufactured or supplied by
RIM or an authorized RIM accessories supplier. Use of any
accessory or attachment that is not supplied or approved for use by
RIM is not permitted as it may cause hazards. Do not place the RIM
957 Wireless Handheld or its charging cradle on any unstable
surface, such as a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table. It may fall,
causing serious injury to a child or adult, and serious damage to the
handheld.
Discard the handheld properly. As the unit contains a lithium
battery, neither the handheld nor the lithium battery should be
disposed of in fire. Dispose of the handheld containing the lithium
battery in accordance with the laws and regulations in your area
governing disposal of such cell types. Contact RIM if you have any
questions concerning disposal of the handheld or the lithium cell.
