8 Safety Information
Phone Operation
Normal Operation: Hold the phone as you would any other telephone.
Rotate the antenna so that it points straight up. The antenna will click
into place in one of two positions designed for left- or right-handed use.
Make sure the antenna is fully extended. The antenna should be vertical
to the ground and have a clear unobstructed view of the sky.
Tips on Efficient Operation: For your phone to operate most efficiently:
• Rotate and extend your antenna fully.
• Make sure the antenna has a clear unobstructed view of the sky.
• Do not touch the antenna unnecessarily when the phone is in use.
Contact with the antenna affects call quality and may cause the
phone to operate at a higher power level than otherwise needed.
• Do not wear the phone on your body while making calls with the
headset accessory in satellite mode. Wearing the phone on the
body can interfere with proper phone operation, since the
antenna requires a clear unobstructed view of the sky to access
the Iridium
®
satellite network.
Batteries
Caution: All batteries can cause property damage, injury or burns if a
conductive material, such as jewelry, keys or beaded chains, touches
exposed terminals. The material may complete an electrical circuit and
become quite hot. To protect against such unwanted current drain,
exercise care in handling any charged battery, particularly when
placing it inside your pocket, purse or other container with metal
objects. When the battery is detached from the phone, your batteries
are packed with a protective battery cover; please use this cover for
storing your batteries when not in use.
Driving
Check the laws and regulations on the use of wireless telephones in the
areas where you drive. Always obey them. Observe the following
guidelines when using your phone while driving.
• Give full attention to driving—driving safely is your first
responsibility.
• Use hands-free phone operation, if available.
• Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if
driving conditions so require.
