Driving Safety Tips  
NOTE: For safety and legal reasons (in many countries), do not use  
your phone while driving.  
Check and follow the local laws regarding the use of mobile  
phones while driving.  
Safety Your most important call. The Wireless Industry reminds you to use  
your phone safely when driving.  
1. Get to know your wireless phone and its features such as speed dial  
and redial. Carefully read your instruction manual and learn to take  
advantage of valuable features most phones offer, including automatic  
redial and memory. Also, work to memorize the phone keypad so you can  
use the speed dial function without taking your attention off the road.  
2. When available, use a hands free device. A number of hands free  
wireless phone accessories are readily available today. Whether you  
choose an installed mounted device for your wireless phone or a speaker  
phone accessory, take advantage of these devices if available to you.  
3. Position your wireless phone within easy reach. Make sure you place  
your wireless phone within easy reach and where you can grab it without  
removing your eyes from the road. If you get an incoming call at an  
inconvenient time, if possible, let your voice mail answer it for you.  
4. Suspend conversations during hazardous driving conditions or  
situations. Let the person you are speaking with know you are driving; if  
necessary, suspend the call in heavy traffic or hazardous weather  
conditions. Rain, sleet, snow and ice can be hazardous, but so is heavy  
traffic. As a driver, your first responsibility is to pay attention to the road.  
5. Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while driving. If you are  
reading an address book or business card or writing a to dolist while  
driving a car, then you are not watching where you are going. It's common  
7
             
sense. Dont get caught in a dangerous situation because you are reading  
or writing and not paying attention to the road or nearby vehicles.  
6. Dial sensibly and assess the traffic. If possible, place calls when you  
are not moving or before pulling into traffic. Try to plan your calls  
before you begin your trip or attempt to coincide your calls with times  
you may be stopped at a stop sign, red light or otherwise stationary. But if  
you need to dial while driving, follow this simple tip dial only a few  
numbers, check the road and your mirrors, then continue.  
7. Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that may be  
distracting. Stressful or emotional conversations and driving do not mix  
they are distracting and even dangerous when you are behind the  
wheel of a car. Make people you are talking with aware you are driving  
and if necessary, suspend conversations which have the potential to divert  
your attention from the road.  
8. Use your wireless phone to call for help. Your wireless phone is one of  
the greatest tools you can own to protect yourself and your family in  
dangerous situations with your phone at your side, help is only three  
numbers away. Dial 9-1-1 or other local emergency number in the case of  
fire, traffic accident, road hazard or medical emergencies. Remember, it is  
a free call on your wireless phone!  
9. Use your wireless phone to help others in emergencies. Your wireless  
phone provides you a perfect opportunity to be a Good Samaritanin  
your community. If you see an auto accident, crime in progress or other  
serious emergency where lives are in danger, call 9-1-1 or other local  
emergency number, as you would want others to do for you.  
10. Call roadside assistance or a special wireless non-  
emergency assistance number when necessary.  
Certain situations you encounter while driving may  
require attention but are not urgent enough to merit a  
call for emergency services. But you still can use your  
wireless phone to lend a hand. If you see a broken-  
down vehicle posing no serious hazard, a broken  
traffic signal, a minor traffic accident where no one  
appears to be injured or a vehicle you know to be  
stolen, call roadside assistance or other special non-  
emergency wireless numbers.

Security Features of the i55sr Phone  
The i55sr phone comes with two levels of security protection:  
SIM Card  
Keypad Lock  
Your phone comes with a built-in level of security protection through the use of  
the SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) card. The SIM card stores all your  
Phonebook information and your Nextel account identification information.  
Since this information is stored on the SIM card, not in your phone itself, you  
can remove the information by removing the SIM card.  
The SIM card is located in the SIM Card Holder on the back of the phone,  
underneath the battery. You can verify that the SIM card is in place by removing  
the battery and viewing the SIM card through the SIM card cover.  
See Removing/Inserting the SIM Cardon page 15 for information on locating  
the SIM card. If there is no SIM card in your phone, notify your Nextel  
Authorized Representative.  
NOTE:Except for making emergency calls, your phone will not  
function without the SIM card.  
SIM Card Personal Identification Number (PIN)  
To prevent unauthorized use of your phone, your SIM card is protected by a  
PIN. Each time the phone is powered on, you must enter your PIN. You can  
change or disable your PIN if desired.  
NOTE:Disabling your PIN enables anyone to use your phone. If you  
disable your PIN, you must still keep the SIM card in the phone  
to make calls.  
Entering the PIN  
By default, your phone is set to require you to  
enter a PIN.  
NOTE:Your default SIM card PIN is: 0000.  
It is recommended that you  
change your PIN to prevent  
fraudulent use of the SIM card  
(see Changing the PINon page  
P

Using T9 Text Input  
®
Your i55sr phone has embedded software, called T9 Text Input, that makes  
typing on a phone keypad much like typing on a computer keyboard: it  
eliminates the traditional multi-tapmethod of text entry. As you type, you  
press only one key per letter. T9 Text Input matches your keystrokes to words in  
its linguistic database of approximately 60,000 words and proper names. You  
may also store additional words you frequently use in your own user database,  
which is incorporated into the T9 database.  
21  
                   
T9 Text Input is available when you are typing text into your phone (for  
example, in the Phonebook or Datebook) and while using Nextel Wireless Web  
services.  
T9 Text Input Entry Modes  
Four text entry modes are available in T9 Text Input: Alpha, Word, Symbols,  
and Numeric. When you are using T9 Text Input, an icon* in the top right corner  
of your phones display screen (next to the battery strength indicator icon)  
indicates the T9 Text Input entry mode you are using:

available whenever you access a screen that requires you to enter text. The right  
display option on your the phones screen indicates your current T9 Text Input

Pause Digit Entry  
When storing a number, you can program your phone so that it will not only dial  
a number but also pause before entering another series of numbers such as a  
personal identification number (PIN) or password. This feature is particularly  
useful for accessing automated services such as voice mail and banking systems  
from your i55sr phone.  
Example: Lets say you have a company voice mail account that you frequently  
check while traveling. And, to access that account you must do the following:  
Dial your work number;  
11  
       
Press # while the voice mail greeting is being played; and  
Enter your PIN to access your messages.  
You can program your phone to enter all of the above information for you by  
separating each entry with a pause. The stored data would look like this:  
17035551234P#P1234. In this example, the first eleven digits represent the  
number that must be dialed to access your voice mail. The P represents a 3  
second pause. The # interrupts your greeting. The second P represents another 3  
second pause. The last four digits represent your PIN.  
To create a three-second pause follow the steps below:  
Press and hold * for two seconds. The pause symbol (P) will appear  
on the display screen.  
NOTE:You can enter up to 20 characters in a single entry, stored or  
dialed.  
NOTE:You can program your phone to pause for more than 3 seconds.  
Performing the above step twice will program two pauses and  
cause your phone to wait 6 seconds before entering the next set  
of numbers.  
Plus Dialing  
This feature enables you to place an international call from most countries —  
without entering the local international access code. Use Plus Dialing for all  
Phonebook entries if you plan to travel outside the United States. Begin by  
following the instructions for Adding Phonebook Entrieson page 6. Before  
you type the phone number to be stored:  
1
Press and hold 0 for two seconds. A 0appears, then changes to a  
+.  
NOTE:The network translates the +into the appropriate  
international access code needed to place the call.

3
Enter the country code, city code, or area code (as needed), and phone  
number.

the person calling (unless blocked by the caller), enabling you to decide whether  
to take the call or forward it to Voice Mail.  
NOTE:Caller ID information is not available on all calls.  
Displaying the Callers Name  
A callers name is displayed if you have entered the persons number into your  
Phonebook (see Adding Phonebook Entrieson page 48). Otherwise, the  
callers phone number will be displayed.

Maintaining Your Privacy with Per-Call and Per-Line  
Blocking  
Nextel provides two methods to prevent those you call from seeing your number  
on their Caller ID displays.  
NOTE:Your Nextel phone number cannot be blocked from calls made  
to 911, 800, 855, 866, 877, 888, or other toll-free phone numbers.  
Per-Call Blocking  
Blocks delivery of your phone number to other Caller ID units for a single  
phone call.  
To set:  
Press * 6 7 before dialing the call.  
Per-Line Blocking  
Permanently blocks delivery of your phone number on every call you make. You  
must order this feature by contacting Nextel Customer Care.  
To disable on a per-call basis:  
Press * 8 2 before the call.  
Alternate Line Service  
As an Alternate Line customer, you will be given a separate phone number for  
each line. With alternate lines, you can separate business and personal calls, or  
designate one as a priority line.  
Nextel Mobile Messaging and Nextel Wireless Web services use the Line 1  
phone number. You only need to subscribe to Caller ID or Voice Mail once —  
the service will be available on both lines. Forwarding Line 2 to Line 1 will send  
Line 2 incoming calls directly to Voice Mail without ringing.  
The following settings are independent for each phone line. When you enable  
one of these settings, it applies only to the active line:

Battery Operating Instructions  
Extreme temperatures will degrade battery performance. Do not store your  
battery where temperatures exceed 60°C (140°F) or fall below -20°C (4°F).  
Lithium Ion batteries have a self discharge rate and without use, will lose  
about 1% of its charge per day.  
The battery capacity will be degraded if stored for long periods while fully  
charged. If long term storage is required, store at half capacity.  
The Motorola iDEN Approved Lithium Ion chargers will provide optimum  
performance. Other chargers may not fully charge your iDEN Lithium Ion  
battery or may yield reduced number of lifetime charge cycles.  
When batteries are not in use, always store them in the plastic safety tray.  
Travel Chargers  
Using one of the Travel Chargers listed below, you can charge a battery from an  
AC outlet. On one end of the Travel Charger, an accessory connector attaches to

Nextel Terms and Conditions of Service  
Nextel Terms and Conditions of Service  
TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SERVICE: Before calling the Nextel Customer Care  
Service Activation number contained in these materials, you (Customer) must read and  
agree to the following terms and conditions of Nextel wireless communications services  
(Service). By calling to activate Service, Customer applies and subscribes for Services  
provided by Nextel (the Company) and confirms that Customer has read, understands,  
agrees to and accepts the terms and conditions stated herein (the Agreement). Should  
there be any conflict between the terms and conditions below, and the terms and  
conditions of any current Service/Subscriber Agreement between Customer and Company  
covering the phone and accessory equipment (the Equipment) accompanying this  
Users Guide, the terms and conditions of the current Service/Subscriber Agreement will  
control.  
1. USE OF SERVICEBy executing this Agreement, Customer acknowledges that it  
complies with all FCC rules and regulations. Customer will not use the Service for any  
unlawful purpose. Customer will not use the Service in aircraft in violation of FAA rules  
or regulations. Customer acknowledges and agrees that all future purchases of Company  
Services and Equipment by customer shall be governed by the terms and conditions  
contained herein unless Customer and Company enter into a subsequent Service/  
Subscriber Agreement. Company may change this Agreement at any time. Any changes  
are effective when Company provides Customer with written notice stating the effective  
date of the change(s). If Customer elects to use the Services or make any payment to  
Company on or after the effective date of the changes, Customer is deemed to have  
accepted the change(s). If Customer does not accept the changes, Customer may terminate  
Services as of the effective date at the address shown on Customers bill. If Services are  
terminated before the end of the current billing cycle, (i) no credit or refund will be  
provided for unused airtime; and (ii) any monthly recurring charge will not be prorated to  
the date of termination.  
2. CREDIT APPLICATIONThis Agreement shall be contingent upon Companys  
approval of Customers credit application. Company may require Customer to update its  
credit application or information from time to time. Customer warrants and represents that  
all information furnished on the credit application is current, complete, accurate, and true.  
If Company subsequently determines that any statements made on the credit application  
are false, incomplete and inaccurate, Company may declare Customer to be in default  
under this Agreement and may exercise any remedies it has under this Agreement at law  
or in equity. Customer understands that Company will rely upon the credit information  
provided by Customer, including but not limited to Customers social security number or  
tax identification number, and other confidential and personal financial and credit  
information requested by Company and supplied by Customer, in making a decision to  
provide Services. Customer understands that Company may request and verify  
Customers bank references and perform a credit history check utilizing standard  
commercial credit reference services in connection with Companys review of the  
Customers credit worthiness. Customer acknowledges that Company may provide  
payment history and other billing/charge information to a credit reporting agency for  
inclusion in Customers records maintained by such credit reporting agency. Customer  
understands that a security deposit or airtime usage limit may be required.  
3. CUSTOMER RADIO EQUIPMENTCompany is not responsible for the installation,  
operation, quality of transmission, or maintenance of the Equipment. Any change in  
Service or Equipment may require additional programming or Equipment or changes to  
assigned codes or numbers which may require programming fees. Company reserves the  
115  
     
right to change or remove assigned codes and/or numbers when such change is reasonably  
necessary in the conduct of its business. Customer does not have any proprietary interest  
in such codes or numbers. Although Federal and state laws may make it illegal for third  
parties to listen in on service, complete privacy cannot be guaranteed. Company shall not  
be liable to Customer or to any third party for any eavesdropping on or interception of  
communications from Companys System.  
4. DEPOSITSCompany has the right, exercisable in its sole discretion at any time or  
from time to time, to require Customer to make a deposit to guarantee payment of sums  
due hereunder, including Service charges. Customer hereby grants Company, as  
applicable, a security interest in such deposits, to secure the payment of all sums due  
hereunder as well as the performance of all other payment obligations Customer may have  
to the Company whether now existing or hereafter rising. Upon termination of Service,  
Company may apply the deposit against any outstanding Service charges of Customer or  
any other amount owed to Company. Company reserves the right to interrupt Services if  
Service appears to have excessive charges, payments are delinquent, or any unusual  
calling patterns are observed on Customers account. Such interruption may be done to  
protect Customer or Company as the Company determines in its sole discretion, but in no  
event shall the Company be liable to the Customer or to any third party by reason of  
interrupting or failing to cause an interruption of Service.  
5. RATES, CHARGES, AND PAYMENTCompany shall issue invoices for Service.  
Monthly Access charges shall be invoiced in advance. Airtime and long distance charges  
shall be invoiced in arrears. Customer is responsible to pay Company, on a timely basis,  
for charges by Company for Service. Customer acknowledges that chargeable time for  
telephone calls and Nextel Direct Connect call transmissions originated by a unit begin  
when a connection is established with Company facilities. A new Nextel Direct Connect  
call is initiated by a call participant if that participant responds more than six (6) seconds  
after the other party finishes its Nextel Direct Connect transmission. Customer accepts  
responsibility for Airtime charges from incoming telephone calls to its mobile unit from  
the time that Customer responds to the call. If Customer disputes any Service charges,  
Customer must pay the entire amount set forth in the invoice by the due date and submit a  
written explanation within forty-five (45) days from the date on the invoice. If Company  
determines that an error was made on Customers invoice, Company shall credit  
Customers account in the amount of the error. If Customer does not pay the amount in  
dispute, Company may exercise any remedies it may have under this Agreement for non-  
payment of Service charges. Company reserves the right to modify any and all elements of  
the Service charges at any time and each such modification shall be effective immediately  
upon the Companys communication thereof to Customer, unless the Companys  
communication indicates a later effective date with respect to such modification.  
Payments which are not received within thirty (30) days from the date of the invoice, shall  
be subject to late payment charges as set forth in this Agreement. If the parties have  
agreed that payments are to be made in installments, or on credit, Customer shall be  
responsible for paying amounts due as agreed. If Customer does not make all payments  
when they are due, such failure shall be a default under this Agreement and Company  
shall be entitled to exercise any remedies it may have under this Agreement or at law or in  
equity. If the sale of the Equipment is on a credit or installment basis and the Customer  
accepts delivery of the Equipment, the Customer may not return the Equipment or receive  
a refund or any amounts paid and agrees to continue making payments as required under  
this Agreement until the Equipment sale price is paid in full.  
6. NONPAYMENT/BREACHA late payment charge of 1.5% (or the maximum interest  
rate permitted by law) per month may be applied to Customers account if monthly  
nextel.com  
116  
Nextel Terms and Conditions of Service  
invoices are not paid by the due date. The late payment charge is applied to the total  
unpaid balance due and outstanding. The late payment charge is for costs related to the  
non-timely payment and shall not be deemed an interest payment. A charge of $25.00 will  
be made by Company for any check or negotiable instrument tendered by Customer and  
returned unpaid by a financial institution for any reason. Company may demand payment  
by money order, cashiers check, or similarly secure form of payment, at Companys  
discretion at any time or from time to time. If Company obtains the services of a collection  
or repossession agency or an attorney to assist Company in remedying Customers breach  
of this Agreement, including but not limited to the nonpayment for charges hereunder,  
Customer shall be liable for this expense. Customer understands that in the event of  
nonpayment of charges or any other breach of the terms and conditions of this Agreement,  
in addition to any other remedies Company may have, Company may temporarily or  
permanently terminate Service to Customer. If Service is terminated and not reconnected  
within 30 days, all outstanding payments to be made in installments are accelerated and  
immediately due in full. If Company disconnects the Service, Customer shall be liable to  
satisfy and discharge all outstanding amounts due and pay a reconnect charge of $25.00  
per unit, in addition to any advance payment of Service charges that may be requested by  
the Company at its discretion, before the Company will reactivate Service. Company  
reserves the right to modify the terms of Service as a precondition to reactivating Service.  
If the Equipment is purchased on an installment basis, or credit, the Company may take  
possession of the Equipment, at any time wherever the same may be without legal process  
and without being responsible for loss and damage.  
7. NEXTEL WIRELESS WEB SERVICESNextel Wireless Web Services, consisting  
of certain applications such as email, data, information and other wireless Internet services  
(the Applications) are part of the Services that can be obtained through Company.  
Certain Applications offered by Company or authorized third parties may be compatible  
with the Equipment and/or the Service offered by Company. Customer acknowledges and  
agrees that there is no guarantee or assurance that the Applications are compatible, or will  
continue to be compatible, with Companys System or any of its Equipment or Service  
offerings. Such compatibility or approval from Company of compatibility shall not be  
construed as an endorsement of a particular Application or a commitment on the part of  
Company that Application(s) will continue to be compatible with the System, Equipment  
or Service for any period of time. Company reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to  
disable or discontinue any Application for any reason. Use of Nextel Wireless Web

agrees that in most cases, the developer of an Application is responsible for providing  
customer care and Application support to all Customers using the Application. In the  
event Customer contacts Company customer care with a problem concerning the use of an  
Application, Customer may be referred to the Application developers customer care, and  
Company shall have no obligation to support such Application.  
9. CONTENT; INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTSCompany is not a publisher of  
third party content that Customer may from time to time access through Nextel Wireless

third parties, including but not limited to statements, opinions, graphics, photos, music,  
services and other information (Content), and accessed by Customer through Nextel  
Wireless Web Services. Company gives no guarantee or assurance as to the currency,  
accuracy, completeness or utility of Content obtained through Nextel Wireless Web

Content. Customer shall not, nor permit others, to reproduce, broadcast, distribute, sell,  
publish, commercially exploit or otherwise disseminate such Content in any manner  
without the prior written consent of Company, Content providers, or others with  
proprietary interests in such Content, as applicable.  
10. RISK OF LOSS: INSURANCEUpon Customers acceptance of delivery of the  
Equipment, all risk of loss, damage, theft, or destruction to the Equipment shall be borne  
by the Customer. No such loss, damage, theft, or destruction of the Equipment, in whole  
or part, shall impair the obligations of Customer hereunder, including, without limitation,  
responsibility for the payment of Service Charges due hereunder. If the Equipment is  
purchased on an installment basis, or on credit, Customer agrees to maintain, for the term  
of this Agreement, at its own expense, comprehensive public liability and property  
damage insurance with respect to its use of the Equipment in an amount not less than the  
replacement value of the Equipment, naming Company as co-insured, with all losses  
payable to Company. Certificates, evidencing proof of such policy and payment of  
premiums, shall be delivered to Company prior to delivery or installment of the  
Equipment. Customer shall prepay such premiums as required and shall furnish Company  
with proof of such payment at the beginning of the Payment Term and upon the expiration  
of any Certificate. Any and all amounts received by the Company under any such policy  
shall be applied by Company against the amount of the Equipment Sales Price and any  
related charges or fees secured hereby. Failure to provide or maintain the insurance  
required above is a breach of the Agreement for which the Company shall be entitled to  
exercise any remedies it may have under this Agreement.  
11. PROPERTY DAMAGE INSURANCEIf Customer selects Direct Protect insurance  
protection, Company will remit the monthly charge for the insurance which appears on  
Customers bill to The Signal Telecommunications Insurance Services (Signal) on  
Customers behalf. Customer acknowledges that insurance protection is offered by the  
Signal, not Company, and that any requests for information or claims regarding the  
insurance shall be directed to Signal. Customer acknowledges having received a summary  
of coverage, including deductible information, which is also available by calling Signal at  
1-888-352-9182.

compliance with or breach of any other provision or a continuing waiver of such  
provision.

guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines  
are based on standards that were developed by independent scientific organizations through  
periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The standards include a substantial safety  
margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.  
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 reviewed 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 antenna, the lower the power output.  
Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and certified to the FCC  
that is does not exceed the limit established by the government-adopted requirement for safe  
exposure. The tests are performed in positions and locations (e.g., at the ear and worn on the body)  
as required by the FCC for each model. The highest SAR value for this model phone when tested  
for use at the ear is 1.36 W/kg and when tested on the body, as described in this user guide, is 0.46  
W/kg during voice transmission using Phone Mode and 1.00 W/kg during packet data  
transmission. (Body-worn measurements differ among phone models, depending upon available  
accessories and FCC requirements.) While there may be differences between the SAR levels of  
various phones and at various positions, they all meet the government requirement for safe  
exposure.  
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 http://  
www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching on FCC ID AZ489FT5799.  
Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on the Cellular  
Telecommunications Industry Association (CTIA) web-site at http://www.wow-com.com.  
______________________________________  
* In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile phones used by the public is 1.6  
watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue. The standard incorporates a substantial margin  
of safety to give additional protection for the public and to account for any variations in  
measurements.

Electro Magnetic Interference/Compatibility  
NOTE:Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to electromagnetic  
interference (EMI) if inadequately shielded, designed or  
otherwise configured for electromagnetic compatibility.  
Facilities  
To avoid electromagnetic interference and/or compatibility conflicts, turn off  
your radio product in any facility where posted notices instruct you to do so.  
Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment that is sensitive to  
external RF energy.  
Aircraft  
When instructed to do so, turn off your radio product when on board an aircraft.  
Any use of a radio product must be in accordance with applicable regulations  
per airline crew instructions.  
Medical Devices  
Pacemakers  
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum  
separation of 6 inches (15 cm) be maintained between a handheld wireless radio  
product and a pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with those of  
the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.  
Persons with pacemakers should:  
ALWAYS keep the radio product more than 6 inches (15 cm) from their  
pacemaker when the radio product is turned ON.  
Not carry the radio product in a breast pocket.  
Use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for  
interference.  
Turn the radio product OFF immediately if you have any reason to suspect  
that interference is taking place.  
Hearing Aids  
Some digital wireless radio products 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.

Operational Warnings  
W A R N I N G  
For Vehicles with an Air Bag  
Do not place a portable radio product in the area over the air bag or in the  
air bag deployment area. Air bags inflate with great force. If a portable  
radio is placed in the air bag deployment area and the air bag inflates, the  
radio product may be propelled with great force and cause serious injury to  
occupants of the vehicle.  
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres  
Turn off your radio product prior to entering any area with a potentially  
explosive atmosphere, unless it is a radio product type especially qualified  
for use in such areas as Intrinsically Safe(for example, Factory Mutual,  
CSA, or UL approved). Do not remove, install, or charge batteries in such  
areas. Sparks in a potentially explosive atmosphere can cause an explosion  
or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.  
NOTE: The areas with potentially explosive atmospheres referred to  
above include fueling areas such as below decks on boats, fuel or  
chemical transfer or storage facilities, areas where the air  
contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust or metal  
powders, and any other area where you would normally be  
advised to turn off your vehicle engine. Areas with potentially  
explosive atmospheres are often but not always posted.  
Blasting Caps and Areas  
To avoid possible interference with blasting operations, turn off your radio  
product when you are near electrical blasting caps, in a blasting area, or in  
areas posted: Turn off two-way radio. Obey all signs and instructions.

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.  
Cleaning and Drying Considerations  
Using a leather carry case may help protect the surfaces and help prevent liquids  
(e.g., rain) from entering into the interior of the radio product. This product is  
not water proof, and exposing the unit to liquids may result in permanent  
damage to the unit.  
If your radio product interior gets wet, then do not try to accelerate drying with  
the use of an oven or a dryer as this will damage the radio product and void the  
warranty. Instead, do the following:  
1. Immediately power off the radio product.  
2. Remove Battery and SIM card (if so equipped) from radio product.  
3. Shake excess liquid from radio product.  
4. Place the radio product and battery in an area that is at room temperature  
and has good air flow.  
127  
 
5. Let the radio product, battery dry, and SIM card for 72 hours before  
reconnecting the battery and/or powering on the radio product.  
If the radio product does not work after following the steps listed above, contact  
your dealer for servicing information.  
Clean the external surfaces of the radio product with a damp cloth, using a mild
