Using Your Phone’s Battery and  
Charger  
Use only Trumpet Mobile-approved or manufacturer-  
approved batteries and chargers with your phone. The  
failure to use a Trumpet Mobile-approved or  
manufacturer-approved battery and charger may increase  
the risk that your phone will overheat, catch fire, or  
explode, resulting in serious bodily injury, death, or  
property damage.  
Warning!  
Trumpet Mobile- or manufacturer-approved batteries and  
accessories can be found at Partner Stores or through your  
phone’s manufacturer.  
Battery Capacity  
Your phone is equipped with a Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) battery. It  
allows you to recharge your battery before it is fully drained.  
The battery provides up to 3 hours and 10 minutes of  
continuous digital talk time.  
When the battery reaches 5% of its capacity, the battery  
icon blinks. When there are approximately two minutes of  
talk time left, the phone sounds an audible alert and then  
powers down.  
Long backlight settings, searching for service and vibrate  
mode affect the battery’s talk and standby times.  
Note:  
Tip:  
Be sure to watch your phone’s battery level indicator and  
charge the battery before it runs out of power.  
19  
     
Installing the Battery  
To install the Li-Ion battery:  
1. Insert the battery into the opening on the back of the  
phone at a 45-degree angle, making sure to line up the  
gold contacts. Gently press down until it snaps into

Removing the Battery  
To remove your battery:  
1. Remove the protective cover by pressing down on the  
back of the cover.  
2. Grip the battery at the bottom and pull up and out at a  
45-degree angle.

Charging the Battery  
Your phone’s Li-Ion battery is rechargeable and should be  
charged as soon as possible so you can begin using your  
phone.  
Keeping track of your battery’s charge is important. If your  
battery level becomes too low, your phone automatically  
turns off and you will lose all the information you were just  
working on. For a quick check of your phone’s battery level,  
glance at the battery charge indicator located in the upper-  
right corner of your phone’s display screen. If the battery  
charge is getting too low, the battery icon (  
the phone sounds a warning tone.  
) blinks and  
Always use a Trumpet Mobile-approved desktop charger,  
travel charger, or vehicle power adapter to charge your  
battery.  
Using the wrong battery charger could cause damage to  
your phone and void the warranty.  
Warning!  
Using the Travel Charger  
To use the travel charger provided with your phone:  
Plug the end of the AC adapter into the phone’s power  
interface connector and the other end into an electrical  
outlet.  
A red indicator light on the phone lets you know  
the battery is charging.  
A green indicator light on the phone indicates that  
the battery is fully charged.  
An onscreen indicator lets you know that the  
battery is charged.  
It takes about three hours to fully recharge a completely  
rundown battery.

TTY Use With Trumpet Mobile  
Service  
A TTY (also known as a TDD or Text Telephone) is a  
telecommunications device that allows people who are  
deaf, hard of hearing, or who have speech or language  
disabilities, to communicate by telephone.  
Your phone is compatible with select TTY devices. Please  
check with the manufacturer of your TTY device to ensure  
that it supports digital wireless transmission. Your phone  
and TTY device will connect via a special cable that plugs  
into your phone's headset jack. If this cable was not  
provided with your TTY device, contact your TTY device  
manufacturer to purchase the connector cable.  
When establishing your Trumpet Mobile Service, please call  
Trumpet Mobile Customer Care via the state  
Telecommunications Relay Service (TRS) by first dialing  
PQRS  
. Then provide the state TRS with this  
number: 866-727-4889.

911 Emergency Calling  
WARNING  
Trumpet Mobile recommends that TTY users make  
emergency calls by other means, including  
Telecommunications Relay Services (TRS), analog  
cellular, and landline communications. Wireless TTY  
calls to 911 may be corrupted when received by  
public safety answering points (PSAPs), rendering  
some communications unintelligible. The problem  
encountered appears related to TTY equipment or  
software used by PSAPs. This matter has been  
brought to the attention of the FCC, and the wireless  
industry and PSAP community are currently working  
to resolve this.

Section 4A  
Important Safety Information  
In This Section  
Using Your Phone With a Hearing Aid Device  
This phone guide contains important operational and  
safety information that will help you safely use your phone.  
Failure to read and follow the information provided in this  
phone guide may result in serious bodily injury, death, or  
property damage.  
119  
     
General Precautions  
There are several simple guidelines to operating your phone properly and  
Speak directly into the mouthpiece.  
Avoid exposing your phone and accessories to rain or liquid spills. If  
your phone does get wet, immediately turn the power off and remove  
the battery.  
Although your phone is quite sturdy, it is a complex piece of  
equipment and can be broken. Avoid dropping, hitting, bending, or  
sitting on it.  
Any changes or modifications to your phone not expressly approved  
in this document could void your warranty for this equipment and void  
your authority to operate this equipment.  
For the best care of your phone, only Trumpet Mobile  
authorized personnel should service your phone and  
accessories. Failure to do so may be dangerous and void  
your warranty.  
Note:  
120  
 
Maintaining Safe Use of and Access to  
Your Phone  
Do Not Rely on Your Phone for Emergency Calls  
Mobile phones operate using radio signals, which cannot guarantee  
connection in all conditions. Therefore you should never rely solely upon  
any mobile phone for essential communication (e.g., medical  
emergencies). Emergency calls may not be possible on all cellular networks  
or when certain network services and/or mobile phone features are in use.  
Check with your local service provider for details.  
Using Your Phone While Driving  
Talking on your phone while driving (or operating the phone without a  
hands-free device) is prohibited in some jurisdictions. Laws vary as to  
specific restrictions. Remember that safety always comes first.  
Purchase an optional hands-free accessory at your local  
Partner Store.  
Tip:  
Following Safety Guidelines  
To operate your phone safely and efficiently, always follow any special  
regulations in a given area. Turn your phone off in areas where use is  
forbidden or when it may cause interference or danger.  
Using Your Phone Near Other Electronic Devices  
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from radio frequency (RF)  
signals. However, RF signals from wireless phones may affect inadequately  
shielded electronic equipment.  
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded  
electronic operating systems and/or entertainment systems in motor  
vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or their representative to determine  
if these systems are adequately shielded from external RF signals. Also  
check with the manufacturer regarding any equipment that has been  
added to your vehicle.  
Consult the manufacturer of any personal medical devices, such as  
pacemakers and hearing aids, to determine if they are adequately shielded  
from external RF signals.  
121  
 
Always turn off the phone in health-care facilities and request  
permission before using the phone near medical equipment.  
Note:  
Turning Off Your Phone Before Flying  
Turn off your phone before boarding any aircraft. To prevent possible  
interference with aircraft systems, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration  
(FAA) regulations require you to have permission from a crew member to  
use your phone while the plane is on the ground. To prevent any risk of  
interference, FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while the plane is  
in the air.  
Turning Off Your Phone in Dangerous Areas  
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your phone off when in  
a blasting area or in other areas with signs indicating two-way radios  
should be turned off. Construction crews often use remote-control RF  
devices to set off explosives.  
Turn your phone off when you're in any area that has a potentially  
explosive atmosphere. Although it's rare, your phone and accessories could  
generate sparks. Sparks can cause an explosion or fire, resulting in bodily  
injury or even death. These areas are often, but not always, clearly marked.  
They include:  
Fueling areas such as gas stations.  
Below deck on boats.  
Fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities.  
Areas where the air contains chemicals or particles such as grain,  
dust, or metal powders.  
Any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off your  
vehicle’s engine.  
Never transport or store flammable gas, flammable liquids, or  
explosives in the compartment of your vehicle that contains  
your phone or accessories.  
Note:  
Restricting Children’s Access to Your Phone  
Your phone is not a toy. Do not allow children to play with it as they could  
hurt themselves and others, damage the phone, or decrement your airtime  
balance.  
122  
Using Your Phone With a Hearing Aid  
Device  
Your Trumpet Mobile Phone has been tested for hearing aid device  
compatibility. When some wireless phones 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 phones also vary in  
the amount of interference they generate.  
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.  
Phones that have been rated have label located on the box.  
Your Trumpet Mobile Phone a580 by Samsung has an M3  
rating.  
These ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary depending on the  
level of immunity of your hearing device and degree of your 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.  
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.)  
The more immune your hearing aid device is, the less likely you are to  
experience interference noise from your wireless phone. Hearing aid  
devices should have ratings similar to phones. Ask your hearing  
healthcare professional for the rating of your aids. Most new hearing aids  
have at least an M2 immunity level. Add the “M” ratings of your hearing  
aid and your phone to determine probable usability:  
Any combined rating equal to or greater than six offers best use.  
Any combined rating equal to five is considered normal use.  
Any combined rating equal to four is considered usable.  
Thus, if you pair an M3 hearing aid with an M3 phone, you will have a  
combined rating of six for “best use.This is synonymous for T ratings.  
123  
 
Trumpet Mobile further suggests you experiment with multiple phones  
(even those not labeled M3/T3 or M4/T4) while in the store to find the one  
that works best with your hearing aid device. Should you experience  
interference or find the quality of service unsatisfactory after purchasing  
your phone, promptly return it to the store within 30 days of purchase.  
With the Trumpet Mobile 30-day Risk-Free Guarantee, you may return  
the phone within 30 days of purchase for a full refund.  
Getting the Best Hearing Device Experience  
With Trumpet Mobile Phone a580 by  
Samsung®  
To further minimize interference:  
There is usually less interference on the microphone setting than the  
telecoil setting.  
Set the phone’s Display and Keypad backlight settings to ensure the  
minimum time interval:  
1. Press MENU > Settings > Display > Backlight.  
MENU  
OK  
2. Select Main Display or Keypad and press  
.
MENU  
OK  
3. Select the minimum time setting (8 seconds) and press  
.
Use phones with a pull-out antenna. Phones with embedded  
antennae may produce more interference.  
Position the phone so the antenna is farthest from your  
hearing aid.  
Move the phone around to find the point with least  
interference.

Caring for the Battery  
Protecting Your Battery  
The guidelines listed below help you get the most out of your battery’s  
performance.  
Recently, there have been some public reports of wireless phone  
batteries overheating, catching fire, or exploding. It appears that  
many, if not all, of these reports involve counterfeit or inexpensive,  
aftermarket-brand batteries with unknown or questionable  
manufacturing standards. Trumpet Mobile is not aware of similar  
problems with Trumpet Mobile phones resulting from the proper use  
of batteries and accessories approved by Trumpet Mobile or the  
manufacturer of your phone. Use only Trumpet Mobile- or  
manufacturer-approved batteries and accessories found at Partner  
Stores. Buying the right batteries and accessories is the best way to  
ensure they’re genuine and safe.  
In order to avoid damage, charge the battery only in temperatures  
that range from 32° F to 113° F (0° C to 45° C).  
Don’t use the battery charger in direct sunlight or in high humidity  
areas, such as the bathroom.  
Never dispose of the battery by incineration.  
Keep the metal contacts on top of the battery clean.  
Don’t attempt to disassemble or short-circuit the battery.  
The battery may need recharging if it has not been used for a long  
period of time.  
It’s best to replace the battery when it no longer provides acceptable  
performance. It can be recharged hundreds of times before it needs  
replacing.  
Don’t store the battery in high temperature areas for long periods of  
time. It’s best to follow these storage rules:  
Less than one month:  
-4° F to 140° F (-20° C to 60° C)  
More than one month:  
-4° F to 113° F (-20° C to 45° C)  
Disposal of Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) Batteries  
For safe disposal options of your Li-Ion batteries, contact your nearest  
Trumpet Mobile authorized service center.  
Special Note: Be sure to dispose of your battery properly. In some areas,  
the disposal of batteries in household or business trash may be prohibited.

Radiofrequency (RF) Energy  
Understanding How Your Phone Operates  
Your phone is basically a radio transmitter and receiver. When it’s turned  
on, it receives and transmits radio frequency (RF) signals. When you use  
your phone, the system handling your call controls the power level. This  
power can range from 0.006 watts to 0.2 watts in digital mode.  
Knowing Radiofrequency Safety  
The design of your phone complies with updated NCRP standards  
described below.  
In 1991-92, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and  
the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) joined in updating ANSI’s  
1982 standard for safety levels with respect to human exposure to RF  
signals. More than 120 scientists, engineers and physicians from  
universities, government health agencies and industries developed this  
updated standard after reviewing the available body of research. In 1993,  
the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) adopted this updated  
standard in a regulation. In August 1996, the FCC adopted hybrid standard  
consisting of the existing ANSI/IEEE standard and the guidelines published  
by the National Council of Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP).  
Body-Worn Operation  
To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines, if you wear a  
handset on your body, use the Trumpet Mobile supplied or approved  
carrying case, holster or other body-worn accessory. Use of non-Trumpet  
Mobile-approved accessories may violate FCC RF exposure guidelines.  
For more information about RF exposure, visit the FCC Web site at  
126  
 
Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) for Wireless Phones  
The SAR is a value that corresponds to the relative amount of RF energy  
absorbed in the head of a user of a wireless handset.  
The SAR value of a phone is the result of an extensive testing, measuring,  
and calculation process. It does not represent how much RF the phone  
emits. All phone models are tested at their highest value in strict  
laboratory settings. But when in operation, the SAR of a phone can be  
substantially less than the level reported to the FCC. This is because of a  
variety of factors including its proximity to a base station antenna, phone  
design and other factors. What is important to remember is that each  
phone meets strict federal guidelines. Variations in SARs do not represent a  
variation in safety.  
All phones must meet the federal standard, which incorporates a  
substantial margin of safety. As stated above, variations in SAR values  
between different model phones do not mean variations in safety. SAR  
values at or below the federal standard of 1.6 W/kg are considered safe for  
use by the public.  
The highest reported SAR values of the are:  
CDMA mode (Part 22):  
Head: 0.729 W/kg; Body-worn: 1.24 W/kg  
PCS mode (Part 24):  
Head: 1.42 W/kg; Body-worn: 1.35 W/kg  
FCC Radiofrequency Emission  
This phone meets the FCC Radiofrequency Emission Guidelines.  
FCC ID number: A3LSPHa580.
