Games
Seizures / Blackouts
Warning
A very small percentage of individuals may experience epileptic 
seizures when exposed to certain light patterns or flashing lights. 
Exposure to certain patterns or backgrounds on a computer screen, 
or while playing video games, may induce an epileptic seizure 
in these individuals. Certain conditions may induce previously 
undetected epileptic symptoms even in persons who have no history 
of prior seizures or epilepsy.
If you, or anyone in your family, have an epileptic condition, consult 
your physician prior to playing. If you experience any of the following 
symptoms while playing a video or computer game —dizziness, 
altered vision, eye or muscle twitches, loss of awareness,

disorientation, any involuntary movement, or convulsions—
IMMEDIATELY discontinue use and consult your physician before 
resuming play.
Repetitive Motion Injuries
When you play games on your phone, you may experience occasional 
discomfort in your hands, arms, shoulders, neck, or other parts 
of your body. Follow these instructions to avoid problems such 
as tendonitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, or other musculoskeletal 
disorders:
Take a minimum 15-minute break every hour of game playing.
If your hands, wrists, or arms become tired or sore while playing, 
stop and rest for several hours before playing again.
If you continue to have sore hands, wrists, or arms during or after 
play, stop playing and see a doctor.
Camera
Do not aim your camera at the Sun. The sunlight passing through the 
Camera/Camcorder Lens may cause damage to the camera.
Do not use your camera’s flash close to a person’s eyes. This may 
cause the person to lose eyesight temporarily and result in an 
accident.
Do not expose the Camera/Camcorder Lens to direct sunlight for a 
long period of time. It may cause explosion or fire from light-focus 
action.
Do not use the flash on an automobile driver. It may startle the driver 
and they may not be able to drive, which may cause an accident.

Hearing Aid Compatibility (HAC) for Wireless 
Telecommunications Devices
PCD’s Commitment
PCD believes that all of our customers should be able to enjoy 
the benefits of digital wireless technologies. We are committed to 
providing a selection of compatible devices for our customers who 
wear hearing aids.
THIS PHONE HAS HAC RATINGS OF M4/ T4
What is Hearing Aid Compatibility?
The Federal Communications Commission has implemented rules and 
a rating system designed to enable people who wear hearing aids to 
more effectively use these wireless telecommunications devices. The 
standard for compatibility of digital wireless phones with hearing aids 
is set forth in American National Standard Institute (ANSI) standard 
C63.19. There are two sets of ANSI standards with ratings from one to 
four (four being the best rating): an “M” rating for reduced interference 
making it easier to hear conversations on the phone when using the 
hearing aid microphone, and a “T” rating that enables the phone to be 
used with hearing aids operating in the telecoil mode thus reducing 
unwanted background noise. 
How will I know which wireless phones are Hearing 
Aid Compatible? 
The Hearing Aid Compatibility rating is displayed on the wireless 
phone box. 
A phone is considered Hearing Aid Compatible for acoustic coupling 
(microphone mode) if it has an “M3” or “M4” rating. A digital wireless 
phone is considered Hearing Aid Compatible for inductive coupling 
(telecoil mode) if it has a “T3” or “T4” rating.

Safety
How will I know if my hearing aid will work with a 
particular digital wireless phone? 
You’ll want to try a number of wireless phones so that you can decide 
which works the best with your hearing aids. 
You may also want to talk with your hearing aid professional about the 
extent to which your hearing aids are immune to interference, if they 
have wireless phone shielding, and whether your hearing aid has a 
HAC rating.

Teletypewriter (TTY) Devices
You can use an optional teletypewriter (T T Y) device with your phone 
to send and receive calls. You must plug the T T Y device into the 
phone’s headset connector and set the phone to operate in one of 
three T T Y modes. 
A T T Y is a communication device used by people who are hard of 
hearing or have a speech impairment. T T Y does not work from mobile 
phone to mobile phone. Use a TSB-121 compliant cable (provided 
by the T T Y manufacturer) to connect the T T Y device to your phone. 
Your phone has a 2.5mm jack. Set the phone to Medium volume level 
for proper operation. If you experience a high number of incorrect 
characters, adjust the volume as needed to minimize the error rate. 
I 
						

							198
Safety
For optimal performance, your phone should be at least 12 inches (30 
centimeters) from the T T Y device. Placing the phone too close to the 
T T Y device may cause high error rates. 
Avoid potential hearing loss.
Prolonged exposure to loud sounds (including music) is the most 
common cause of preventable hearing loss. Some scientific research 
suggests that using portable audio devices, such as portable music 
players and cellular telephones, at high volume settings for long 
durations may lead to permanent noise-induced hearing loss. This 
includes the use of headphones (including headsets, earbuds and 
Bluetooth or other wireless devices). Exposure to very loud sound 
has also been associated in some studies with tinnitus (a ringing in 
the ear), hypersensitivity to sound and distorted hearing. Individual 
susceptibility to noise-induced hearing loss and other potential 
hearing problems varies.
The amount of sound produced by a portable audio device varies 
depending on the nature of the sound, the device, the device settings 
and the headphones. You should follow some common sense 
recommendations when using any portable audio device:
Set the volume in a quiet environment and select the lowest volume 
at which you can hear adequately.
When using headphones, turn the volume down if you cannot hear 
the people speaking near you or if the person sitting next to you can 
hear what you are listening to.
Do not turn the volume up to block out noisy surroundings. If you 
choose to listen to your portable device in a noisy environment, 
use noise-cancelling headphones to block out background 
environmental noise.
Limit the amount of time you listen. As the volume increases, less 
time is required before your hearing could be affected.

Safety
Avoid using headphones after exposure to extremely loud noises, 
such as concerts, that might cause temporary hearing loss. 
Temporary hearing loss might cause unsafe volumes to sound 
normal.
Do not listen at any volume that causes you discomfort.If you 
experience ringing in your ears, hear muffled speech or experience 
any temporary hearing difficulty after listening to your portable audio 
device, discontinue use and consult your doctor.
