SAFETY INFORMATION
SAFETY INFORMATION FOR FIXED PHONES
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON SAFE AND EFFICIENT OPERATION.
READ THIS INFORMATION BEFORE USING YOUR PHONE.
EXPOSURE TO RADIO FREQUENCY (RF) ENERGY
Your phone contains a transmitter and a receiver. When it is ON, it receives and also
sends out radio frequency (RF) signals. When you communicate with your phone, the
system handling your call controls the power level at which your phone transmits.
Your AVVIO phone is designed to comply with local regulatory requirements in your
country concerning exposure of human beings to RF energy.
OPERATIONAL PRECAUTIONS
To assure optimal phone performance and make sure human exposure to RF energy is
within the guidelines set forth in the relevant standards; always adhere to the following
procedures.
EXTERNAL ANTENNA CARE
Use only the supplied BRIGHSTAR approved antenna. Unauthorized antennas,
modifications, or attachments could damage the phone.
Do NOT hold the antenna when the phone is IN USE. Holding the antenna affects call
quality and may cause the phone to operate at a higher power level than needed. In addition,
use of unauthorized antennas may result in non-compliance with the local regulatory
requirements in your country.
PHONE OPERATION
When placing or receiving a phone call, hold your phone as you would a wireline telephone.

8
DATA OPERATION
When using any data feature of the phone, with or without an accessory cable, position the
phone and its antenna at least 1 inch (2.5 centimeters) from your body.
APPROVED ACCESSORIES
Use of accessories not approved by BRIGHTSTAR, including but not limited to batteries
and antennas, may cause your phone to exceed RF energy exposure guidelines.
RF ENERGY INTERFERENCE / COMPATIBILITIES
Note: Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to RF energy interference from external
sources if in adequately shielded, designed, or otherwise configured for RF energy
compatibility. In some circumstances your phone may cause interference.
Facilities
Turn off your phone in any facility where posted notices instruct you to do so. These
facilities may include hospitals or health care facilities that may be using equipment that is
sensitive to external RF energy.
MEDICAL DEVICE
Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum separation of 6 inches
(15centimeters) be maintained between a handheld wireless phone and a pacemaker.
Persons with pacemakers should:
•Always keep the phone more than 6 inches (15 centimeters) from your pacemaker when
the phone is turned ON.
•Not carry the phone in the breast pocket
•Use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for interference.
•Turn OFF the phone immediately if you have any reason to suspect that interference is
taking place.

9
Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of such
interference, you may want to consult your hearing aid manufacturer to discuss alternatives.
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of your device to
determine if it is adequately shielded from RF energy. Your physician may be able to assist
you in obtaining this information.
BATTERIES
Batteries can cause property damage and / or bodily injury such as burns if a conductive
material such as jewelry, keys, or beaded chains touches exposed terminals. The conductive
material may complete an electrical circuit (short circuit) and become quite hot. Exercise
care in handling any charged battery, particularly when placing it inside a pocket, purse or
other container with metal objects. Use only original batteries and chargers.
Your battery or phone may contain symbols, defined as follows.
Symbol Definition
Important safety information will follow
Your battery or phone should not be disposed of in a fire
Your battery or phone may require recycling in accordance
with local laws. Contact your local regulatory authorities for
more information.
Your battery or phone should not be thrown in the trash

10
Seizures / Blackouts
Some people may be susceptible to epileptic seizures or blackouts when exposed to
flashing lights, such as when watching television or playing video games. These seizures or
blackouts may occur even if a person never had a previous seizure or blackout.
If you experienced seizures or blackouts, or if you have a family history of such
occurrences, please consult with your doctor.
