212 Section 4A. Important Safety Information
Turning Off Your Device in Dangerous Areas
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your device
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 device off when you’re in any area that has a
potentially explosive atmosphere. Although it’s rare, your device
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:
䡲Fueling areas such as gas stations.
䡲Below deck on boats.
䡲Fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities.
䡲Areas where the air contains chemicals or particles such
as grain, dust, or metal powders.
䡲Any other area where you would normally be advised to
turn off your vehicle’s engine.
Restricting Children’s Access to Your Device
Your device is not a toy. Do not allow children to play with it as
they could hurt themselves and others, damage the device or
make calls that increase your Sprint invoice.
Using Your Device With a Hearing
Aid Device
A number of Sprint devices have been tested for hearing aid
device compatibility. When some wireless devices are used
with certain hearing devices (including hearing aids and
cochlear implants), users may detect a noise which can
interfere with the effectiveness of the hearing device.
Some hearing devices are more immune than others to this
interference noise, and devices also vary in the amount of
interference noise they may generate. ANSI standard C63.19
was developed to provide a standardized means of measuring
both wireless device and hearing devices to determine
usability rating categories for both.
Ratings have been developed for mobile devices to assist
hearing device users find devices that may be compatible with
their hearing device. Not all devices have been rated for
compatibility with hearing devices. Devices that have been
rated have a label located on the box. Your SPH-M800 has an
M3 and T3 rating.
These ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary depending
on the user’s hearing device and individual type and degree of
hearing loss. If a hearing device is particularly vulnerable to
interference noise, even a device with a higher rating may still
cause unacceptable noise levels in the hearing device. Trying
Note Never transport or store flammable gas, flammable liquids,
or explosives in the compartment of your vehicle that
contains your device or accessories.
