1.2 Battery

Warning : To reduce risk of fire or burns, do not disassemble, crush, puncture, short external contacts, heat above 60^ (140^) , or dispose of in fire or water. Replace only with manufacturer specified batteries. Recycle or dispose of used batteries to the local regulations.

Your PPC6600 contains a rechargeable Li-ion polymer battery under the back cover. Battery power depends on whether you are talking on the phone, using the PDA functions or if the device is on standby.

Battery life estimates :

Talk-time: 3 4 hrs,
PDA: 15 hrs (approx.),
Standby: 168 hrs (approx.),
Data retention time: 72 hrs.

The above times are based on using one function at a time, interchanging between functions will vary the battery life.

Data Retention

It is vital to keep your battery charged. Because your PPC6600 does not have a hard drive, all data and any new programs you install are stored in RAM. If the battery completely drains any data or new programs you installed will be erased. Only the default programs on the device when you bought it will remain.

To prevent this kind of data loss, a portion of the main battery will keep your data safe for 72 hours if your device runs out of power. The additional backup is designed to keep your data safe when you remove the main battery. It will keep this data safe for 20 minutes.

WARNING: BEFORE REMOVING THE MAIN BATTERY, MAKE SURE THE BACKUP BATTERY POWER REMAINS AT 50% OR ABOVE, BY TAPPING Settings System tab Power

Recharging your device

You can recharge your device in the following ways:

Place your PPC6600 in the cradle and connect the cradle to an external power source with the AC Adapter. Before using your PPC6600 for the first time, charge the battery for at least 8 hours. Then, place it in the cradle for a short time each day to recharge it to its full capacity.
Plug the AC Adapter into the optional USB cable head and then connect your PPC6600 directly to an external power source.

Plug the AC Adapter into the optional AC Adapter Converter and then connect the sync connector of your PPC6600 directly to an external power source without using the cradle.
If you have a spare battery for your PPC6600, you can put the battery into the slot in the cradle for recharging.

When Your Battery is Low

When the low battery-warning message appears, immediately save any data you are working on, perform a synchronization with your PC, then turn off your PPC6600. If your device does shut down, the backup portion of your main battery will protect the data for about 72 hours.

To view the battery status:

Tap Settings System tab Power.

ALWAYS KEEP THE POWER STATUS OF THE BACKUP BATTERY AT LEAST AT 50% OR ABOVE.

1.3 Accessories

USB Cradle

Your PPC6600 comes with a USB cradle. This allows you to recharge your PPC6600 with the AC ADAPTER, as well as synchronize information between your PPC6600 and a PC using ActiveSync.

To synchronize, the USB Cradle must be plugged into an available USB port on your PC.

For battery recharging, you must plug the AC Adapter into the back of cradle.

AC Adapter plugs into the back of the cradle for battery recharging

AC Adapter Converter

The AC Adapter converter in combination with the AC Adapter allows you to recharge your device without the cradle.

USB Sync Cable

The USB cable ( user's optional item) allows you to synchronize with your desktop without the cradle. The AC converter also allows you, in combination with an AC Adapter, to recharge your device.

2.4 Drawing on the Screen

You can draw on the screen in the same way that you write on the screen. The difference between writing and drawing on the screen is how you select items and how they can be edited. For example, selected drawings can be re-sized, while writing cannot.

Creating a drawing:

Cross three ruled lines on your first stroke. A drawing box appears. Subsequent strokes in or touching the drawing box become part of the drawing. Drawings that do not cross three ruled lines will be treated as writing.

Synchronizing Information

4.1 Using ActiveSync

4.2 Synchronizing Information

4.3 Synchronizing by Using an Infrared Connection

4.4 ActiveSync Errors

4.1 Using ActiveSync

Using Microsoft ActiveSync you can synchronize the information on your PC with the information on your PPC6600. Synchronization compares the data on your device with your PC and updates both with the most recent information. With ActiveSync, you can:

• Keep Pocket Outlook data up-to-date by synchronizing your device with Microsoft Outlook data on your PC.
• Choose to synchronize Inbox, Calendar, and Contacts with a server so that you have the latest information, even when your desktop computer is turned off.
• Copy (rather than synchronize) files between your device and your desktop PC.
  Control when synchronization occurs by selecting a synchronization mode.
• Select which information types are synchronized and control how much data is synchronized.

By default, ActiveSync does not automatically synchronize all types of information. Use ActiveSync options to turn synchronization on and off for specific information types.

Using Server ActiveSync, you can synchronize information directly with a Microsoft Exchange Server if your company is running Microsoft® Mobile Information Server 2002 or later.

Installing ActiveSync

Before you begin synchronization, install ActiveSync on your desktop computer from the PPC6600 Companion CD. ActiveSync is already installed on your PPC6600.

Creating a Partnership

After the installation is complete, the New Partnership Wizard helps you set up a partnership between your phone and your desktop computer and/or a server so that you can start synchronizing information and customizing your synchronization settings.

In the New Partnership Wizard select Synchronize with this desk-top computer. If you are certain that your company is running Microsoft Mobile Information Server 2002 or later and you know the server name, then choose Synchronize with Microsoft Mobile Information Server and/or this desktop compute. For more information, contact your network administrator or service provider.

Your first synchronization will automatically begin when you finish using the wizard. After the first synchronization, you will notice that your Outlook information now appears on your PPC6600.

View connection status.

4.2 Synchronizing Information

This section provides an overview of the types of Outlook information you can synchronize. By default, ActiveSync does not automatically synchronize all types of Outlook information. Use ActiveSync options to turn synchronization on and off for specific information types.

Synchronizing Inbox

When you select Inbox for synchronization in ActiveSync, e-mail messages are synchronized as part of the general synchronization process. During synchronization, the following events occur:

• Messages are copied from the Outlook Inbox folder on your desktop computer, or from a Microsoft Exchange Server, to the Inbox folder on your PPC6600.
• By default, when synchronizing Inbox information with your desktop computer, you will receive only messages from the last three days and the first 500 bytes of each new message. You can also choose to download file attachments.
  The messages on your phone and on your desktop computer are linked. When you delete a message on your phone, it is deleted from your desktop computer the next time you synchronize, and vice versa.
• Messages in sub folders in other e-mail folders in Outlook are synchronized only if the folders have been selected for synchronization in the Inbox on your PPC6600.

SMS messages are not received in your Inbox through synchronization. Instead, they are sent to your phone by way of your service provider. For more details, please see Message Features in Chapter 8.

Synchronizing Calendar

Calendar items stored on your PPC6600 can be synchronized with calendar items stored on your desktop PC and/or on a Microsoft Exchange Server. By default, calendar items from the last two weeks will be synchronized.
Calendar items created on your PPC6600 are copied to your desktop PC and/or server during synchronization, and vice versa.

Synchronizing Contacts

• Contacts stored on your phone can be synchronized with contacts stored on your desktop computer or on a Microsoft Exchange Server. By default, all of your contacts will be synchronized.
• Contacts created on your phone are copied to your desktop computer and/or server during synchronization, and vice versa.

Synchronizing Tasks

Tasks stored on your phone can be synchronized with tasks stored on your desktop computer. Tasks synchronization is automatically selected in ActiveSync. By default, all of your incomplete tasks will be synchronized.
Tasks created on your phone are copied to your desktop computer during synchronization, and vice versa.

Tasks can be synchronized only with your computer. They cannot be synchronized with a server.

4.3 Synchronizing Using an Infrared Connection

You can use an infrared connection to quickly create a direct connection between your phone and another mobile device or computer. This method is ideal for quickly switching between multiple devices since there are no cables or adapters to change. When creating a partnership, you must connect using infrared, a cable, or a cradle connection.

For more information about synchronizing using an infrared connection or other connection types, see ActiveSync Help on your desktop computer.

Transferring Items Using Infrared

Using infrared (IR), you can also send and receive information, such as contacts and appointments, between two devices.

a. To send information :

Switch to the program where you created the item you want to send and locate the item in the list.
Align the IR ports so that they are unobstructed and within close range.
3 Tap and hold the item, then tap Beam Item on the pop-up menu.

You can send items, but not folders, from File Explorer. Tap and hold the item you want to send, and then tap Beam File on the pop-up menu.

b. To receive information :

Align the IR ports so that they are unobstructed and within close range.
2 Have the owner of the other device send the information to you. Your device will automatically receive it.

4.4 ActiveSync Errors

Whenever ActiveSync cannot successfully synchronize your information, it displays an error on your phone.

To view ActiveSync error information:

Press the Action button when the error text is displayed. ActiveSync will then display more information about the error that occurred.

Some types of errors can interfere with automatic synchronization. If you suspect that a scheduled automatic synchronization has not occurred, you should attempt to manually synchronize your information. Successfully completing manual synchronization will reset automatic synchronization. For more information, see the Synchronizing Information section of ActiveSync Help on your computer.

You also can use Inbox to send and receive text messages; it supports 8 bits of data with class 0, 1, 2, 3, and Unstructured Supplementary Service Data (USSD) as well.

a. Synchronizing E-mail Messages

E-mail messages can be synchronized as part of the general synchronization process. You will need to enable Inbox synchronization in ActiveSync. For information on enabling Inbox synchronization, see ActiveSync Help on the PC.

During synchronization:

• Messages are copied from the mail folders of Exchange or Outlook on your PC to the ActiveSync folder in Inbox on your device. By default, you will receive messages from the past five days only, and the first 100 lines of each message.
  E-mail messages in the Outbox folder on your device are transferred to Exchange or Outlook, and then sent from those programs.

E-mail messages in folders must be selected in ActiveSync on your PC in order to be transferred.

b. Connecting Directly to an Email Server

Once your e-mail account is set up and you're connected, new messages will be downloaded to the device's Inbox folder, and messages in the device Outbox folder will be sent.
- When you delete a message on your device that was downloaded from your e-mail server, it will also be deleted from the e-mail server the next time you connect.
- You can work online or offline. When working online, you read and respond to messages while connected. Messages are sent as soon as you tap Send, which saves space on your device.
- When working offline, once you have downloaded new message headers or partial messages, you can disconnect from the e-mail server and then decide which messages to download completely. The next time you connect, Inbox downloads the complete messages you have marked for retrieval and sends the messages you have composed.

c. Using the Message List

• Messages you receive are displayed in the message list. By default, the most recently received messages are displayed first in the list.
• When you receive a message, tap to open it. Unread messages are displayed in bold.
• You can mark the messages that you want to retrieve in full during your next synchronization or e-mail server connection. In the message list, tap and hold the message you want to retrieve. On the pop-up menu, tap Mark for Download. The icons in the Inbox message list provide visual indication of message status.
• Specify your downloading preferences when you set up the service or select your synchronization options. You can change them at any time:

Change options for Inbox synchronization using ActiveSync options. For more information, see ActiveSync Help.
Change options for direct e-mail server connections in Inbox on your device. Tap Tools Options. On the Account tab, tap the service you want to change. Tap and hold the service and select Delete to remove a service.

d. Creating an E-mail message

Tap New.
In the To field, enter either the e-mail address of one or more recipients, separating them with a semicolon, or select a name from the contact list by tapping the Address Book button. All e-mail addresses entered in the e-mail fields in Contacts appear in the Address Book.

Phone messages can be sent by entering the SMS numbers in the To field.

③ Compose your message. To enter preset or frequently used messages, tap My Text and select a message.
When you finish your message, tap Send button. If you are working offline, the message is moved to the Outbox folder and will be sent the next time you connect.

Tap Account to switch between Outlook Email and Text Messages .

8.2 Messaging

Messages can be sent in two ways:

• Go to Messaging, open a new e-mail message and select Outlook Email or Text Messages account in the Account type options.
• Or you can directly send in phone dialer in the Tools menu bar.

Sending Messages in phone dialer:

In phone dialer screen, tap Tools Send Text Message. A new message screen appears in Inbox.
In the To field, enter the Phone number of one or more recipients, separating them with a semicolon, or select a name from the contact list by tapping the Address Book button.
3 Compose your message. To enter preset or frequently used messages, tap My Text and select a message.
4 Tap when you have finished the message. If you are working offline, the message is moved to the Outbox folder and will be sent the next time you connect.

Text Message cannot be used to send e-mail messages. You can tap the double arrows next to the subject field to show the complete header. From the Account list, select an e-mail account.

If you are sending a text message and want to know if it was received, tap Tools, Options, and select Request message delivery notification before sending the message.

8.3 MSN Messenger: Instant Messaging

MSN Messenger on your mobile device is an instant messaging program that lets you:

See who is online.
Send and receive instant messages.
Have instant message conversations with groups of contacts.
Notify contacts of your on-line status.
- Block contacts from seeing your status or sending you messages.

To use MSN Messenger, you must have a Microsoft Passport™ account or a Microsoft Exchange e-mail account. Once you have obtained one of these accounts, you are ready to sign in to MSN Messenger.

If you have a Hotmail® or MSN account, you already have a Passport.

To set up a Microsoft Passport account, go to http://www+pessenger.com
To set up a Hotmail account, go to http://www.hotmail.com

Switching to MSN Messenger:

Tap Program MSN Messenger

Setting Up and Signing In

Connect to the Internet using any methods outlined in Chapter 7 Getting Connected.
Tap anywhere on the MSN Messenger screen, enter your sign-in name and password then tap Sign in.

Or tap Tools Options Accounts tab to set your sign-in name and password by selecting Enable MSN Messenger Service.

Your sign-in name is usually in the form: [e-mail].

If you already use MSN Messenger on your PC, your contacts will automatically appear on your device.

Working with Contacts

The MSN Messenger window displays all of your messenger contacts at a glance, divided into Online and Not Online categories. From this view, while connected, you can chat, send e-mail, block a contact from chatting with you, or delete contacts from your list using the pop-up menu.

To see others online without being seen, open the Tools menu, tap My Status and select Appear Offline. If you block a contact, you will appear offline but will remain on the blocked contact's list. To unblock a contact, tap and hold the contact, then tap Unblock on the pop-up menu.

Chatting with Contacts

Tap a contact name to open a chat window. Enter your message in the text entry area at the bottom of the screen, or tap My Text to enter a preset message, then tap Send. To invite another contact to multi-user chat, open the Tools menu, tap Invite then tap the contact you want to invite.

To see if the contact you are chatting with is responding, look for the message under the text entry area.

For more information on using MSN Messenger, tap Help.

8.4 Managing Messages and Folders

By default, messages are displayed in one of five folders for each service you have created: Inbox, Deleted Items, Drafts, Outbox, and Sent Items. The Deleted Items folder contains messages that have been deleted on the device. The behavior of the Deleted and Sent Items folders depends on the options you have chosen. In the message list, tap Tools and then Options. On the Message tab, select your options.

To organize messages into additional folders, create new folders by tapping Tools, then Manage Folders. To move a message to another folder, in the message list, tap and hold the message and then tap Move to on the pop-up menu.

Folder behavior with a direct connection to an e-mail server

The behavior of the folders you create depends on whether you are using ActiveSync, SMS, POP3, or IMAP4.

If you use ActiveSync, e-mail messages in the Inbox folder in Outlook will automatically be synchronized with your device. You can select to synchronize additional folders by designating them for ActiveSync. The folders you created and the messages you moved will then be mirrored on the server. For example, if you move two messages from the Inbox folder to a folder named Family and you have designated Family for synchronization, the server creates a copy of the Family folder and copies the messages into that folder. You can then read the messages while away from your PC.
If you use Text Messages, messages are stored in the Inbox folder of Text messages category.

If you use POP3 and you move e-mail messages to a folder you created, the link is broken between the messages on the device and their copies on the mail server. The next time you connect, the mail server will see that the messages are missing from the device Inbox and delete them from the server. This prevents you from having duplicate copies of a message, but it also means that you will no longer have access to messages that you move to folders created from anywhere except the device.
If you use IMAP4, the folders you created and the e-mail messages you moved are mirrored on the server. Therefore, messages are available to you anytime you connect to your mail server, whether it is from your device or PC. This synchronization of folders occurs whenever you connect to your mail server; create new folders, or rename/delete folders when connected.

Download the program to your PC (or insert the CD or disk that contains the program into your PC). Be sure to select the program designed for the PPC6600 and your device process or type.
2 Read any installation instructions, or documentation that comes with the program. Many programs provide special installation instructions.
3 Connect your device and PC.
Double click the .exe file.

If the file is an installer, the installation wizard will begin. Follow the directions on the screen. Once the software has been installed on your PC, the installer will automatically transfer the software to your device.
If the file is not an installer, you will see an error message stating that the program is valid but it is designed for a different type of PC. You will need to move this file to your device. If you cannot find any installation instructions for the program in the Read Me file or documentation, use ActiveSync Explore to copy the program file to the Program Files folder on your device.

Once installation is complete, tap Programs and then its program icon.

To add a program directly from the Internet:

Determine your device and processor type so that you know which version of the software to install.
2 Download the program to your device directly from the Internet using Pocket Internet Explorer. You may see a single .zip, .exe or .zip file, a setup.exe file, or several versions of files for different device types and processors. Be sure to select the program designed for the PPC6600 and your device processor type.
3 Read any installation instructions, Read Me files, or documentation that comes with the program. Many programs provide special installation instructions.
Tap the file, such as a .xip or *.exe file. The installation wizard will begin. Follow the directions on the screen.

To remove a program:

Tap Settings System Remove Programs.

You can only remove programs that you installed in storage memory. Programs that came with your device cannot be removed.
You can quickly return your device to the factory default configuration by clearing all memory. All data will be lost. For instructions, see the details later in this chapter.

Managing Memory

Memory on your PPC6600 is shared between storage memory and program memory. Storage memory is used to store the information you created and programs you installed. Program memory is used to run programs on your PPC6600. PPC6600 automatically manages the allocation between storage and program memory.

To view memory allocation and availability:

Tap Settings System tab Memory icon.

Finding Space in Storage memory

In some situations, such as when memory is low, your PPC6600 may not be able to automatically adjust the allocation. If you receive a message stating that storage or program memory is unavailable, try the following solution :

a. Move data to a SD storage card

1 Tap Programs File Explorer.
2 Tap and hold the file you want to move, and tap Cut. Open the My Documents folder in the storage card folder, tap Edit, and then tap Paste.

Files stored in folders other than My Documents or stored in folders within subFolders in My Documents may not show up in the list view of some programs. When using Notes, Pocket Word, or Pocket Excel, you can also move files by opening the item and tapping Tools or Edit and then Rename/Move.

Reset the PPC6600 and Clear Memory

You can perform a soft reset or a full reset. During a soft reset, the device is restarted and only some data in open programs may be lost. However, a full reset turns the battery off and returns the device to its original factory settings and deletes all programs, files, contacts and other information you have saved to the device. Therefore it is extremely important to backup data to a storage card or your computer on a regular basis in the event that a full reset has to be performed.

To perform a soft reset:

If your PPC6600 responds slowly stops responding or freezes, try a soft reset. A soft reset causes the PPC6600 to restart and re-adjust memory allocation. Unsaved data in open windows may be lost.

Use the stylus to press and hold the Reset button.

To perform a full reset:

A full device reset clears memory, deletes all data and restores the PPC6600 to its default settings. Programs installed at the factory remain, while data you have created and programs you have installed are all erased.

Press and hold the power button, and then use stylus to press the soft reset button at the same time.

Be sure you have backup all your data in a SD card or in your PC before performing a full reset.

c) SAR Information

Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radiofrequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission of the U.S. Government. These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines are based on standards that were developed by independent scientific organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The standards include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.

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 1.6W / kg . Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions specified 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 power required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output.

Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the limit established by the government-adopted requirement for safe exposure. The tests are performed in positions and locations (e.g., at the ear and worn on the body) as required by the FCC for each model. The highest SAR value for this model phone when tested for use at the ear is 0.122W / Kg and when worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is 1.47W / Kg . (Body-worn measurements differ among phone models, depending upon available accessories and FCC requirements). [Labeling Committee note: if applicable, if body-worn SARs are required]. While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones and at various positions, they all meet the government requirement for safe exposure.

The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model phone with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF emission guidelines. SAR information on this model phone is on file with the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching on FCC ID NM8HARRIER.

Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on the CTIA – The Wireless Association TM (CTIA) web-site at http://www.ctia.org/wireless Consumers/health_and_safety/

• In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile phones used by the public is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue. The standard incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and to account for any variations in measurements.

TIA Safety information

Exposure to Radio Frequency Signals

Your wireless handheld portable telephone is a low power radio transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it receives and also sends out radio frequency (RF) signals.

In August, 1996, the Federal Communications Commissions (FCC) adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for hand-held wireless phones. Those guidelines are consistent with the safety standards previously set by both U.S. and international standards bodies:

ANSI C95.1 (1992)*

NCRP Report 86 (1986)

ICNIRP (1996)

*American National Standards Institute; National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements; International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection

Those standards were based on comprehensive and periodic evaluations of the relevant scientific literature. For example, over 120 scientists, engineers, and physicians from universities, government health agencies, and industry reviewed the available body of research to develop the ANSI Standard (C95.1).

The design of your phone complies with the FCC guidelines (and those standards).

Antenna Care

Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage the phone and may violate FCC regulations.

Phone Position

Normal Position: Hold the phone as you would any other telephone with the antenna pointed up and over your shoulder.

Tips on Efficient Operation

For your phone to operate most efficiently:

Extend your antenna fully.
- 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.

Driving

Check the laws and regulations on the use of wireless telephones in the areas where you drive. Always obey them. Also, if using your phone while driving, please:

Give full attention to driving - driving safely is your first responsibility
Use hands-free operation, if available
Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving conditions so require.

Electronic Devices

Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF signals. However, certain electronic equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals from your wireless phone.

Pacemakers

The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum separation of six (6") inches be maintained between a handheld wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with the independent research by and recommendations of Wireless Technology Research.

Persons with pacemakers:

Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than six inches from their pacemaker when the phone is turned ON
Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket
Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for interference
If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, turn your phone OFF immediately

Hearing Aids

Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of such interference, you may want to consult your service provider [or call the customer service line to discuss alternatives.] Optional for each phone manufacturer.

Other Medical Devices

If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of your device to determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this information.

Turn your phone OFF in health care facilities when any regulations posted in these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment that could be sensitive to external RF energy.

Vehicles

RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or its representative regarding your vehicle. You should also consult the manufacturer of any equipment that has been added to your vehicle.

Posted Facilities

Turn your phone OFF in any facility where posted notices so require.

Aircraft

FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while in the air. Switch OFF your phone before boarding an aircraft.

Blasting Areas

To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your phone OFF when in a "blasting area" or in areas posted: "Turn off two-way radio". Obey all signs and instructions.

Potentially Explosive Atmospheres

Turn your phone OFF when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere and obey all signs and instructions. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.

Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always marked clearly. Potential areas may include: fueling areas (such as gasoline stations); below deck on boats; fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities; vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane); areas where the air contains chemicals or particles (such as grain, dust, or metal powders); and any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine.

For Vehicles Equipped with an Air Bag

An air bag inflates with great force. DO NOT place objects, including either installed or portable wireless equipment, in the area over the air bag or in the air bag deployment area. If in-vehicle wireless equipment is improperly installed and the air bag inflates, serious injury could result.
