MAINTAINING SAFE USE OF AND ACCESS TO YOUR DEVICE Using Your Hospot While Driving Using your device while driving is prohibited in some jurisdictions. Laws vary as to specific restrictions. Remember that safety always comes first. Following Safety Guidelines To operate your hotspot safely and efficiently, always follow any special regulations in a given area. Turn your hotspot off in areas where use is forbidden or when it may cause interference or danger. Using Your Device Near Other Electronic Devices Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from radio frequency (RF) signals. However, RF signals from wireless device may affect inadequately shielded electronic equipment. RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic operating systems or entertainment systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or their representative to determine if these systems are adequately shielded from external RF signals. Also check with the manufacturer regarding any equipment that has been added to your vehicle. Consult the manufacturer of any personal medical devices, such as pacemakers and hearing aids, to determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF signals. Always turn off the hotspot in healthcare facilities, and request permission before using the hotspot near medical equipment. Turning Off Your Device Before Flying Turn off your device before boarding any aircraft. To prevent possible interference with aircraft systems, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations require you to have permission from a crew member to use your device while the plane is on the ground. To prevent any risk of interference, FCC regulations prohibit using your device while the plane is in the air. 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 phone off when youre in any area that has a potentially explosive atmosphere. Although its rare, your phone 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:

Fueling areas such as gas stations. Below deck on boats. Fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities. Areas where the air contains chemicals or particles such as grain, dust, or metal powders. Any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicles engine. Never transport or store flammable gas, flammable liquids, or explosives in the compartment of your vehicle that contains your device or accessories. Restricting Childrens 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. CARING FOR THE BATTERY Protecting Your Battery The guidelines listed below help you get the most out of your battery's performance. Do not change the built-in rechargeable battery in your device by yourself. Use only Boost-approved or manufacturer-approved batteries and accessories found at boostmobile.com or through your device's manufacturer. Buying the right batteries and accessories is the best way to ensure they're genuine and safe. In order to avoid damage, charge the battery only in temperatures that range from 32o F to 113o F (0o C to 45o C). Don't use the battery charger in direct sunlight or in high humidity areas, such as the bathroom. Never dispose of the battery by incineration. The battery may need recharging if it has not been used for a long period of time. Disposal of Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) Batteries Do not handle a damaged or leaking Li-Ion battery as you can be burned. For safe disposal options of your Li-Ion batteries, contact your nearest authorized service center. Be sure to dispose of your battery properly. In some areas, the disposal of batteries in household or business trash may be prohibited. CTIA Requirements Do not disassemble or open, crush, bend or deform, puncture or shred. Do not modify or remanufacture, attempt to insert foreign objects into the battery, immerse or expose to water or other liquids, expose to fire, explosion or other hazard. Only use the battery for the system for which it is specified. Only use the battery with a charging system that has been qualified with the system per CTIA Certification Requirements for Battery System Compliance to IEEE 1725. Use of an unqualified battery or charger may present a risk of fire, explosion, leakage, or other hazard. Do not short circuit a battery or allow metallic conductive objects to contact battery terminals. Replace the battery only with another battery that has been qualified with the system per this standard, IEEE-Std-1725. Use of an unqualified battery may present a risk of fire, explosion, leakage or other hazard. Promptly dispose of used batteries in accordance with local regulations. Battery usage by children should be supervised. Avoid dropping the phone or battery. If the phone or battery is dropped, especially on a hard surface, and the user suspects damage, take it to a service center for inspection. Improper battery use may result in a fire, explosion or other hazard. The device shall only be connected to CTIA certified adapters, products that bear the USB-IF logo or products that have completed the USB-IF compliance program. RADIO FREQUENCY (RF) ENERGY FCC RF Exposure Information (SAR) This device is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission of the United States. During SAR testing, this device is set to transmit at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands, and placed in positions that simulate RF exposure in usage against the head with no separation, and near the body with the separation of 10 mm. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the device while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the device 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. The exposure standard for wireless devices 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 using standard operating positions accepted by the FCC with the device transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model device with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR information on this model device is on file with the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section of www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid after searching on FCC ID: SRQ-MF920VS. For this device, the highest reported SAR value for usage near the body is 1.21 W/kg. While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various devices and at various positions, they all meet the government requirement. SAR compliance for body operation is based on a separation distance of 10 mm between the unit and the human body. Carry this device, at least 10 mm away from your body to ensure RF exposure level compliant or lower to the reported level. To support body operation, choose the belt clips or holsters that do not contain metallic components to maintain a separation of 10 mm between this device and your body. FCC Notice This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
