Safety Guidelines
If this happens, replace the battery and reset the pdQ smartphone. (See
“Resetting the pdQ Smartphone” on page 62.) Then perform a HotSync
operation to restore data from your computer.
❑
After you have replaced the battery, always check the clock settings.
❑
Whenever you remove the battery and reinsert it, the pdQ smartphone
does a soft reset. You see the pdQ smartphone logo screen followed by the
message “Initializing pdQ.” No information is deleted in a soft reset; all
records and entries are retained. For details, see “Resetting the pdQ
Smartphone” on page 62.
Safety Guidelines
Read this section for information on using your pdQ smartphone safely.
There are situations in which wireless phones must be turned off for reasons
of safety. You can quickly turn off the pdQ smartphone simply by holding
down the yellow
key on the keypad for a few seconds.
Radio Frequency (RF) Energy
Your pdQ smartphone is a radio transmitter and receiver. When it is on, it
receives and also sends out RF energy. Your service provider’s phone network
controls the power level of the RF signal. This power level can range from
0.006 watts to 0.6 watts.
Exposure to RF Energy
In August 1996, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) adopted
RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for hand-held wireless phones.
These guidelines are consistent with the safety standards previously set by
both U.S. and international standards bodies in the following reports:
■
ANSI C95.1 (American National Standards Institute, 1992)
■
NCRP Report 86 (National Council on Radiation Protection and
Measurements, 1986)
■
ICNIRP (International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation
Protection, 1996)
Using the pdQ Smartphone around Medical Devices
Pacemakers—
If your portable wireless phone is too close to a pacemaker, the
phone’s RF energy may interfere with the pacemaker’s operation. The Health
Industry Manufacturers Association and the wireless technology research
community recommend that you follow these guidelines to minimize the
potential for interference.
■
Always keep the phone at least six inches (15 centimeters) away from your
pacemaker when the phone is turned on.
■
Do not carry your phone near your heart.
■
Use the ear opposite the pacemaker.
