Water resistance  
The CASIO G’zOne COMMANDO™ 4G LTE is water resistant. It  
provides reliable performance for outdoor activities, and in wet  
conditions such as driving rain or high humidity.  
The tested device meets the requirements of the MIL-STD-810G (Rain &  
immersion 1m, 30min) standard.  
Warning!  
The Water Resistance feature does not guarantee protection  
against the usage of this device underwater. Do not use the phone  
underwater.  
NOTES  
To maintain water resistance:  
• Securely close the Charging/Data Port cover and the Headset Jack  
cover.  
• Do not use earphones underwater. Defects or damage resulting  
from underwater usage are not covered by warranty.  
• Completely close the back cover and slide the battery cover lock to  
the LOCK position.  
11  
• If the CASIO G’zOne COMMANDO™ 4G LTE body is wet, shake to

all of the applications on your phone. You can also configure what types  
of data you synchronize for each account. Some applications, such as  
Gmail and Calendar, have their own synchronization settings.

sync data from multiple applications. Others sync data only from  
the first Google account you sign into on your phone, or from an  
account associated specifically with that application.  
• For some accounts, syncing is two-directional; changes that you  
make to the information on your phone are made to the copy of  
that information on the web. Your Google account works this way.

phone is read-only.

on the web.  
If you uncheck this option, you may be able to use an application’s  
tools to sync data manually. You can also sync account data  
manually from the Sync screen. For more information, see “Syncing

Safety  
TIA Safety Information  
The following is the complete TIA Safety Information for wireless  
handheld phones.  
k Tips on Efficient Operation  
Do not touch internal antenna area unnecessarily when the phone is  
in use. Contact with internal antenna area affects call quality and may  
cause the phone to consume more power than otherwise needed.  
k Driving  
Talking on the phone while driving is extremely dangerous and is illegal  
in some states. Remember, safety comes first. Check the laws and  
regulations on the use of phones in the areas where you drive. Always  
obey them.  
If you must use your phone while driving, please:  
• Give full attention to driving. Driving safely is your first responsibility.  
• Use hands-free operation and/or one-touch, speed dialing, and auto  
answer modes.  
• Pull off the road and park before placing or answering a call.  
• 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.  
Warning!  
Failure to follow these instructions could lead to serious personal  
injury and possible property damage.  
232  
k Electronic Devices  
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.  
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF energy.  
However, certain electronic equipment may not be shielded against the  
RF signals from your wireless phone. Therefore, use of your phone must  
be restricted in certain situations.  
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.  
Never come closer than six (6) inches to a person with a heart  
pacemaker implant when using your phone. Doing so could result in  
interference with the function of the pacemaker.  
Persons with pacemakers:  
• ALWAYS keep the phone more than six (6) inches from your  
pacemaker when the phone is turned on.  
• Do not carry the phone in a breast pocket.  
• 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).  
233  
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.  
Hospitals and Health Care Facilities  
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.  
k 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.  
k Posted Facilities  
Turn your phone OFF where posted notices so require.  
k Aircraft  
FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while in the air. Turn your  
phone OFF before boarding an aircraft.  
Always request and obtain prior consent and approval of an authorized  
airline representative before using your phone aboard an aircraft. Always  
follow the instructions of the airline representative whenever using your  
phone aboard an aircraft, to prevent any possible interference with  
airborne electronic equipment.  
234  
k 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.  
k 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,  
clearly marked. They include fueling areas such as gas 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 articles, such as grain, dust, or metal  
powders; and any other area where you would normally be advised to  
turn off your vehicle’s engine.  
Safety Information for FCC RF Exposure  
Warning!  
Read this information before using.  
In August 1996 the Federal Communications Commission  
(FCC) of the United States with its action in Report and  
Order FCC 96-326 adopted an updated safety standard for  
human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic  
energy emitted by FCC regulated transmitters. Those guidelines are  
consistent with the safety standard previously set by both U.S. and  
international standards bodies. The design of this phone complies with  
the FCC guidelines and these international standards.  
235  
This phone has been tested and rated for use with hearing aids for  
some of the wireless technologies that it uses. However, there may  
be some newer wireless technologies used in this phone that have  
not been tested yet for use with hearing aids. It is important to try the  
different features of this phone thoroughly and in different locations,

k SAR information  
THIS MODEL PHONE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT’S  
REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.  
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 1.6 W/kg.* Tests for SAR are conducted  
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  
236  
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.  
For body worn operation, this phone has been tested and meets  
the FCC RF exposure guidelines when used with an accessory that  
contains no metal and that positions the handset a minimum of 1.0 cm  
cm from the body. Non-compliance with the above restrictions may  
result in violation of FCC RF Exposure guidelines.  
The highest SAR value for this model phone when tested for use at the  
head is 1.08 W/kg and when worn on the body, as described in this  
guide, is 1.08 W/kg. (Body-worn measurements differ among phone  
models, depending upon available accessories and FCC requirements).  
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  
exposure 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/ea/fccid after searching on TYK-JDS9507.  
Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found  
on the Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA) web-  
site at http://www.ctia.org.  
*
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.  
237  
This equipment 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 television reception, which can be determined by turning the

FDA Information  
U.S. Food and Drug Administration  
Cell Phone Facts  
Consumer Information on Wireless Phones  
k What kinds of phones are the subject of this  
update?  
The term “wireless phone” refers here to hand-held wireless phones  
with built-in antennas, often called “cell,”“mobile,” or “PCS” phones.  
These types of wireless phones can expose the user to measurable  
radiofrequency energy (RF) because of the short distance between the  
phone and the user’s head. These RF exposures are limited by Federal  
Communications Commission safety guidelines that were developed  
with the advice of FDA and other federal health and safety agencies.  
When the phone is located at greater distances from the user, the  
exposure to RF is drastically lower because a person’s RF exposure  
decreases rapidly with increasing distance from the source. The so-  
called “cordless phones,” which have a base unit connected to the  
telephone wiring in a house, typically operate at far lower power levels,  
and thus produce RF exposures well within the FCC’s compliance limits.  
k Do wireless phones pose a health hazard?  
The available scientific evidence does not show that any health  
problems are associated with using wireless phones. There is no proof,  
however, that wireless phones are absolutely safe. Wireless phones emit  
low levels of radiofrequency energy (RF) in the microwave range while  
being used. They also emit very low levels of RF when in the stand-by  
mode. Whereas high levels of RF can produce health effects (by heating  
tissue), exposure to low level RF that does not produce heating effects  
causes no known adverse health effects. Many studies of low level RF  
exposures have not found any biological effects. Some studies have  
suggested that some biological effects may occur, but such findings  
239  
have not been confirmed by additional research. In some cases, other  
researchers have had difficulty in reproducing those studies, or in  
determining the reasons for inconsistent results.  
k What is FDA’s role concerning the safety of  
wireless phones?  
Under the law, FDA does not review the safety of radiation-emitting  
consumer products such as wireless phones before they can be sold,  
as it does with new drugs or medical devices. However, the agency  
has authority to take action if wireless phones are shown to emit  
radiofrequency energy (RF) at a level that is hazardous to the user. In  
such a case, FDA could require the manufacturers of wireless phones  
to notify users of the health hazard and to repair, replace or recall the  
phones so that the hazard no longer exists.  
Although the existing scientific data do not justify FDA regulatory  
actions, FDA has urged the wireless phone industry to take a number of  
steps, including the following:  
• Support needed research into possible biological effects of RF of the  
type emitted by wireless phones;  
• Design wireless phones in a way that minimizes any RF exposure to  
the user that is not necessary for device function; and  
• Cooperate in providing users of wireless phones with the best  
possible information on possible effects of wireless phone use on  
human health  
FDA belongs to an interagency working group of the federal agencies  
that have responsibility for different aspects of RF safety to ensure  
coordinated efforts at the federal level. The following agencies belong to  
this working group:  
• National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health  
• Environmental Protection Agency  
• Federal Communications Commission  
240  
• Occupational Safety and Health Administration  
• National Telecommunications and Information Administration  
The National Institutes of Health participates in some interagency  
working group activities, as well.  
FDA shares regulatory responsibilities for wireless phones with the  
Federal Communications Commission (FCC). All phones that are sold  
in the United States must comply with FCC safety guidelines that limit  
RF exposure. FCC relies on FDA and other health agencies for safety  
questions about wireless phones.  
FCC also regulates the base stations that the wireless phone networks  
rely upon. While these base stations operate at higher power than do  
the wireless phones themselves, the RF exposures that people get  
from these base stations are typically thousands of times lower than  
those they can get from wireless phones. Base stations are thus not the  
primary subject of the safety questions discussed in this document.  
k What are the results of the research done already?  
The research done thus far has produced conflicting results, and many  
studies have suffered from flaws in their research methods. Animal  
experiments investigating the effects of radiofrequency energy (RF)  
exposures characteristic of wireless phones have yielded conflicting  
results that often cannot be repeated in other laboratories. A few animal  
studies, however, have suggested that low levels of RF could accelerate  
the development of cancer in laboratory animals. However, many of  
the studies that showed increased tumor development used animals  
that had been genetically engineered or treated with cancer-causing  
chemicals so as to be pre-disposed to develop cancer in the absence  
of RF exposure. Other studies exposed the animals to RF for up to 22  
hours per day. These conditions are not similar to the conditions under  
which people use wireless phones, so we don’t know with certainty  
what the results of such studies mean for human health.  
Three large epidemiology studies have been published since December  
241  
2000. Between them, the studies investigated any possible association  
between the use of wireless phones and primary brain cancer, glioma,  
meningioma, or acoustic neuroma, tumors of the brain or salivary  
gland, leukemia, or other cancers. None of the studies demonstrated  
the existence of any harmful health effects from wireless phone RF  
exposures. However, none of the studies can answer questions about  
long-term exposures, since the average period of phone use in these  
studies was around three years.  
k What research is needed to decide whether RF  
exposure from wireless phones poses a health  
risk?  
A combination of laboratory studies and epidemiological studies of  
people actually using wireless phones would provide some of the  
data that are needed. Lifetime animal exposure studies could be  
completed in a few years. However, very large numbers of animals  
would be needed to provide reliable proof of a cancer promoting effect  
if one exists. Epidemiological studies can provide data that is directly  
applicable to human populations, but 10 or more years’ follow-up may  
be needed to provide answers about some health effects, such as  
cancer. This is because the interval between the time of exposure to a  
cancer-causing agent and the time tumors develop—if they do—may  
be many, many years. The interpretation of epidemiological studies is  
hampered by difficulties in measuring actual RF exposure during day-  
to-day use of wireless phones. Many factors affect this measurement,  
such as the angle at which the phone is held, or which model of phone  
is used.  
k What is FDA doing to find out more about the  
possible health effects of wireless phone RF?  
FDA is working with the U.S. National Toxicology Program and with  
groups of investigators around the world to ensure that high priority  
242  
animal studies are conducted to address important questions about the  
effects of exposure to radiofrequency energy (RF).  
FDA has been a leading participant in the World Health Organization  
International Electromagnetic Fields (EMF) Project since its inception in  
1996. An influential result of this work has been the development of a  
detailed agenda of research needs that has driven the establishment of  
new research programs around the world. The Project has also helped  
develop a series of public information documents on EMF issues.  
FDA and the Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA)  
have a formal Cooperative Research and Development Agreement  
(CRADA) to do research on wireless phone safety. FDA provides  
the scientific oversight, obtaining input from experts in government,  
industry, and academic organizations. CTIA-funded research is  
conducted through contracts to independent investigators. The initial  
research will include both laboratory studies and studies of wireless  
phone users.  
The CRADA will also include a broad assessment of additional research  
needs in the context of the latest research developments around the  
world.  
k What steps can I take to reduce my exposure to  
radiofrequency energy from my wireless phone?  
If there is a risk from these products—and at this point we do not know  
that there is—it is probably very small.  
But if you are concerned about avoiding even potential risks, you can  
take a few simple steps to minimize your exposure to radiofrequency  
energy (RF). Since time is a key factor in how much exposure a person  
receives, reducing the amount of time spent using a wireless phone will  
reduce RF exposure.  
• If you must conduct extended conversations by wireless phone every  
day, you could place more distance between your body and the  
source of the RF, since the exposure level drops off dramatically with  
243  
distance. For example, you could use a headset and carry the wireless  
phone away from your body or use a wireless phone connected to a  
remote antenna.  
Again, the scientific data do not demonstrate that wireless phones are  
harmful. But if you are concerned about the RF exposure from these  
products, you can use measures like those described above to reduce  
your RF exposure from wireless phone use.  
k What about children using wireless phones?  
The scientific evidence does not show a danger to users of wireless  
phones, including children and teenagers. If you want to take steps to  
lower exposure to radiofrequency energy (RF), the measures described  
above would apply to children and teenagers using wireless phones.  
Reducing the time of wireless phone use and increasing the distance  
between the user and the RF source will reduce RF exposure.  
Some groups sponsored by other national governments have advised  
that children be discouraged from using wireless phones at all. For  
example, the government in the United Kingdom distributed leaflets  
containing such a recommendation in December 2000. They noted that  
no evidence exists that using a wireless phone causes brain tumors  
or other ill effects. Their recommendation to limit wireless phone use  
by children was strictly precautionary; it was not based on scientific  
evidence that any health hazard exists.  
k Do hands-free kits for wireless phones reduce  
risks from exposure to RF emissions?  
Since there are no known risks from exposure to RF emissions from  
wireless phones, there is no reason to believe that hands-free kits  
reduce risks. Hands-free kits can be used with wireless phones for  
convenience and comfort. These systems reduce the absorption of RF  
energy in the head because the phone, which is the source of the RF  
emissions, will not be placed against the head.  
244  
On the other hand, if the phone is mounted against the waist or other  
part of the body during use, then that part of the body will absorb  
more RF energy. Wireless phones marketed in the U.S. are required to  
meet safety requirements regardless of whether they are used against  
the head or against the body. Either configuration should result in  
compliance with the safety limit.  
k Do wireless phone accessories that claim to shield  
the head from RF radiation work?  
Since there are no known risks from exposure to RF emissions from  
wireless phones, there is no reason to believe that accessories that  
claim to shield the head from those emissions reduce risks. Some  
products that claim to shield the user from RF absorption use special  
phone cases, while others involve nothing more than a metallic  
accessory attached to the phone. Studies have shown that these  
products generally do not work as advertised. Unlike “hands-free” kits,  
these so-called “shields” may interfere with proper operation of the  
phone. The phone may be forced to boost its power to compensate,  
leading to an increase in RF absorption. In February 2002, the Federal  
Trade Commission (FTC) charged two companies that sold devices  
that claimed to protect wireless phone users from radiation with making  
false and unsubstantiated claims. According to FTC, these defendants  
lacked a reasonable basis to substantiate their claim.  
k What about wireless phone interference with  
medical equipment?  
Radiofrequency energy (RF) from wireless phones can interact with  
some electronic devices. For this reason, FDA helped develop a detailed  
test method to measure electromagnetic interference (EMI) of implanted  
cardiac pacemakers and defibrillators from wireless telephones.  
This test method is now part of a standard sponsored by the  
Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI).  
245  
The final draft, a joint effort by FDA, medical device manufacturers, and  
many other groups, was completed in late 2000. This standard will allow  
manufacturers to ensure that cardiac pacemakers and defibrillators are  
safe from wireless phone EMI.  
FDA has tested hearing aids for interference from handheld wireless  
phones and helped develop a voluntary standard sponsored by the  
Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE). This standard  
specifies test methods and performance requirements for hearing aids  
and wireless phones so that no interference occurs when a person uses  
a “compatible” phone and a “compatible” hearing aid at the same time.  
This standard was approved by the IEEE in 2000.  
FDA continues to monitor the use of wireless phones for possible  
interactions with other medical devices. Should harmful interference be  
found to occur, FDA will conduct testing to assess the interference and  
work to resolve the problem.

> Research).  
Emergency Calls  
Never rely solely upon your wireless phone for essential  
communications (e.g., medical emergencies), if it can be  
avoided, since a wireless phone requires a complex combination of  
radio signals, relay stations and landline networks for its operation.  
Consequently, emergency calls may not always be possible under  
all conditions on all wireless phone systems. Your wireless phone,  
however, may sometimes be the only available means of communication  
at the scene of an accident. When making an emergency call, always  
give the recipient all necessary information as accurately as possible.  
Never terminate an emergency call until you have received clearance to  
do so.  
246  
k FCC Enhanced 911 (E911) Rules  
Background  
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) requires wireless  
carriers to transmit specific latitude and longitude location (Automatic  
Location Identification = ALI) information as well as “911” calls to Public  
Safety Answering Points (PSAPs) to identify the location of the caller  
in case of emergency. Generally, the rules require that carriers identify  
an E911 caller’s location within 50 meters of the actual location for  
67 percent of calls and within 150 meters of the actual location for 95  
percent of calls.  
k CASIO G’zOne COMMANDO™ 4G LTE — ALI  
Capability  
The CASIO G’zOne COMMANDO™ 4G LTE is an ALI-capable phone  
equipped with a GPS (Global Positioning System) receiver supporting a  
satellite-based GPS ALI-capable network to comply with the FCC’s ALI  
requirements.  
The network compliance with the above FCC requirements is  
dependent on: (a) the use of digital technology by the wireless  
network; (b) GPS satellite signals being able to reach the handset  
(such transmissions do not always work indoors, for example); and (c)  
handset signals reaching wireless “base stations” (atmospheric and  
environmental conditions may cause variations in handset receiving  
signal strength).  
Also the transmission of the ALI information is subject, in part, to system  
constraints within the wireless network to which the E911 signal is  
transmitted and over which NECAM has no control.  
Finally, customers are advised that the G’zOne COMMANDO™ 4G  
LTE’s ALI capability is to be used for E911 purposes only.

Games  
k 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.  
k 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.  
256  
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.  
Accessibility  
k Hearing Aid Compatibility (HAC) for Wireless  
Telecommunications Devices  
NECAM’s Commitment  
NECAM 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 M3/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  
257  
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.  
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.

k Teletypewriter (TTY) Devices  
You can use an optional teletypewriter (TTY) device with your phone to  
send and receive calls. You must plug the TTY device into the phone’s  
headset connector and set the phone to operate in one of three TTY  
modes.  
A TTY is a communication device used by people who are hard of  
hearing or have a speech impairment. TTY does not work from mobile  
phone to mobile phone. Your phone has a 3.5mm jack. Use a TSB-121  
compliant cable (provided by the TTY manufacturer) and a 3.5mm to  
2.5mm Audio Adapter to connect the TTY device to your phone. 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. For optimal performance, your phone should  
be at least 12 inches (30 centimeters) from the TTY device. Placing the  
phone too close to the TTY device may cause high error rates.  
k 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:  
259  
• 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.  
• 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.

Declaration of Conformity  
Hereby, NEC CASIO Mobile Communications, Ltd. declares that this  
product is compliance with the essential requirements and other  
relevant provisions of Directive 1999/5/EC.  
Declaration of Conformity can be found on http://www.nec-casio-  
mobile.com/support/doc.html  
This mobile phone complies with the EU requirements for exposure to  
radio waves. Your mobile phone is a radio transceiver, designed and  
manufactured not to exceed the SAR* limits** for exposure to radio-  
frequency (RF) energy, which SAR* value, when tested for compliance  
against the standard was 0.572 W/kg. While there may be differences  
between the SAR* levels of various phones and at various positions,  
they all meet*** the EU requirements for RF exposure.  
*
The exposure standard for mobile phones employs a unit of  
measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR.  
** The SAR limit for mobile phones used by the public is 2.0 watts/  
kilogram (W/kg) averaged over ten grams of tissue, recommended  
by The Council of the European Union. The limit incorporates a  
substantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the  
public and to account for any variations in measurements.  
*** Tests for SAR have been conducted using standard operating  
positions 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 base station antenna, the lower the  
power output.
