Section 8A: Important Safety Information
Avoid dropping the phone or battery. If you drop the phone or battery, especially on a 
hard surface, and you suspect damage, take it to a service center for inspection. 
Promptly dispose of used batteries in accordance with local regulations.
Disposal of Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) Batteries
To avoid being burned, do not handle a damaged or leaking lithium-ion (li-ion) battery. 
For safe disposal options of your li-ion batteries, contact your nearest Sprint authorized 
service center.
Special Note: Be sure to dispose of your battery properly. In some areas, the disposal of 
batteries in household or business trash may be prohibited.
Radio Frequency (RF) Energy
Understanding How Your Phone Operates
Your phone is basically a radio transmitter and receiver. When it’s turned on, it receives and 
transmits radio frequency (RF) signals. When you use your phone, the system handling your 
call controls the power level. This power can range from 0.006 watts to 0.2 watts in digital 
mode.
Knowing Radio Frequency Safety
The design of your Treo complies with updated NCRP standards described below.
In 1991–92, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and the American 
National Standards Institute (ANSI) joined in updating ANSI’s 1982 standard for safety levels 
with respect to human exposure to RF signals. More than 120 scientists, engineers and 
physicians from universities, government health agencies and industries developed this 
updated standard after reviewing the available body of research. In 1993, the Federal 
Communications Commission (FCC) adopted this updated standard in a regulation. In 
August 1996, the FCC adopted a hybrid standard consisting of the existing ANSI/IEEE
