Safety
Battery information
Do not use this product in a humid, wet and/or corrosive environment. Do not put, 
store or leave your product in or near a he at source, in a high temperature location, 
in strong direct sunlight, in a microwave oven or in a pressurized container, and do 
not expose it to temperatures over 60 °C  (140 °F). Failure to follow these guidelines 
may cause the battery to leak acid, become hot, explode or ignite and cause injury 
and/or damage. Do not pierce, open or disasse mble the battery. If the battery leaks 
and you come into contact with the leaked fluids, rinse thoroughly with water and 
seek medical attention immediately. For sa fety reasons, and to prolong the lifetime 
of the battery, charging will not occur at low (below 0 °C/32 °F) or high (over 45 °C/
113 °F) temperatures.
The full performance of a new battery is achieved only after two or three complete 
ch
 arge and discharge cycles. The battery can be charged and discharged hundreds 
of times, but it will eventually wear  out. When the talk and standby times are 
noticeably shorter than normal, buy a new ba ttery. Use only manufacturer approved 
batteries, and recharge your battery on ly with manufacturer approved chargers 
designated for this device.
Unplug the charger from the electrical pl u
 g and the device when not in use. Do not 
leave a fully charged battery connected to  the AC charger, since overcharging may 
shorten its lifetime. If left unused, a fully  charged battery will lose its charge over 
time. If the battery is completely discharged, it may take a few minutes before the 
charging indicator appears on the display or before any calls can be made.
Use the battery only for its intended purpos e
 . Never use any charger or battery that 
is damaged.
Do not short-circuit the batt ery
 . Accidental short-circuiting can occur when a metallic 
object such as a coin, clip, or pen causes direct connection of the positive (+) and 
negative (-) terminals of the battery. These look like metal strips on the battery. This 
might happen, for example, when you carry a spare battery in your pocket or purse. 
Short-circuiting the terminals may damage the battery or the connecting object.
Leaving the battery in hot or cold places, such as in
  a closed car in summer or winter 
conditions, will reduce the capacity and lifetim e of the battery. Always try to keep the 
battery between 15 °C and 25 °C (59 °F and 77 °F). A device with a hot or cold 
battery may not work temporarily, even when  the battery is fully charged. Battery 
performance is particularly limited  in temperatures well below freezing.
Do not dispose of batteries in a fire as they may explode. Batteries may also explode 
if 
 damaged. Dispose of  batteries according to local  regulations. Please recycle when 
possible. Do not dispose as household waste.
Disposal and recycling information
Do not throw this electronic device into the trash when discarding.
To minimize pollution and ensure utmost protection of the global 
environm

ent, please recycle. For more informa tion on the Waste from

Electrical and Electronics Equipment (WEEE) regulations, visit www.acer-
group.com/public/Sustainability
It is compliant with EEE regulations.
Regulatory information
RoHS compliance
This product is in compliance with Directive 2011/65/EU of the European Parliament 
and of the Council of 8 June 2011, on the restriction of the use of certain hazardous 
substances (RoHS) in electrical and electronic equipment and its amendments.
FCC regulations
This mobile phone complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to 
the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, 
and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that 
may cause undesired operation.
This mobile phone has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B 
digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to 
provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential 
installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy 
and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful 
interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that 
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause 
harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by 
turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the 
interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which 
the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for 
compliance could void the users authority to operate the equipment.
RF exposure warning
The equipment complies with FCC RF exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled
environment. The antenna(s) used for this transmitter must not be co-located or 
operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
RF exposure information (SAR)
This mobile phone meets the governments requirements for exposure to radio 
waves.
This phone is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for 
exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications 
Commission of the U.S. Government. 
						

							56
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 1.6
 
W/kg. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions accepted 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 poser required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless 
base station antenna, the lower the power output.
The highest SAR value for US model phones as reported to the FCC when tested for 
use at the ear is 
0.32 W/kg and when worn on the body, as described in this user 
guide, is 
0.70 W/kg.
Important: Body-worn measurements differ among phone models, depending 
upon available enhancements and FCC requirements.
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones and at 
various positions, they all meet the government requirements.
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 www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid after searching 
for FCC ID: HLZDME380 (for US models).
For body worn operation, this phone has been tested and meets the FCC RF 
exposure guidelines for use with accessories that contain no metal and that position 
the handset a minimum of 1 cm from the body. Use of other accessories may not 
ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines. If you do not use a body-worn 
accessory and are not holding the phone at the ear, position the handset a minimum 
of 1
 cm from your body when the phone is switched on.
