other injury or damage to Cat B25 or other property.
General Useage: Cat B25 has been designed to be significantly more rugged than a normal
mobile phone, however it is NOT indestructible.

disassemble, open, crush, bend, deform, puncture, shred, microwave, incinerate, paint,
or insert foreign objects into Cat B25. Do not use Cat B25 if it has been damagedfor
example, if Cat B25 is cracked, punctured, or damaged by water. The screens of Cat B25 are
made of glass. This glass could break if Cat B25 is dropped on a hard surface or receives

touch or attempt to remove the broken glass. Stop using Cat B25 until the glass is replaced
by a Cat B25 Authorized Service Provider. Glass cracked due to misuse or abuse is not
covered under the warranty.
Keeping the Outside of Cat B25 Clean: Clean Cat B25 immediately if it comes into contact
with any contaminants that may cause stains, such as ink, dyes, makeup, dirt, food, oils,
and lotions. To clean Cat B25, unplug all cables and turn off Cat B25. Then use a soft, slightly
damp, lint-free cloth. Avoid getting moisture in openings. Dont use window cleaners,
household cleaners, aerosol sprays, solvents, alcohol, ammonia, or abrasives to clean Cat
B25. The front screen surfaces have an oleophobic coating. To remove fingerprints, simply
wipe these surfaces with a soft, lint-free cloth. The ability of this coating to repel oil will
diminish over time with normal usage, and rubbing the screen with an abrasive material
will further diminish its effect and may scratch the glass.
Dust and Water: The Cat B25 is fully tested to meet IP67 specifications. It is very important
to note that all of the Cat B25 connectors, covers and battery compartment are correctly
fitted and have the correct 0-rings fitted to meet the waterproof and dust specifications.
Failure to ensure all connector, covers, battery compartment and O rings are correctly fitted
will invalidate the warranty. In case the Cat B25 gets wet, turn off Cat B25 before cleaning,
and allow it to dry thoroughly before turning it on again. Do not attempt to dry Cat B25 with
an external heat source, such as a microwave oven or hair dryer.
Repairing or Modifying Cat B25: Never attempt to repair or modify Cat B25 yourself. Cat
B25 does not contain any user-serviceable parts, except for the SIM card, SD card (if fitted),
Battery and Battery Compartment door. Disassembling Cat B25, including the removal
of external screws and back cover, may cause damage that is not covered under the
warranty. Service should only be provided by a Cat Authorized Service Provider. If you have
questions, contact a Cat B25 Authorized Service Provider.

Cat B25 Phone User Manual

Read all safety instructions for any products and accessories before using with Cat B25. Cat
is not responsible for the operation of, or any damage caused by, third-party accessories or
their compliance with safety and regulatory standards.
When you use the Cat B25 USB Power Adapter to charge Cat B25, make sure that the power
adapter is fully assembled before you plug it into a power outlet. Then insert the Cat B25
USB Power Adapter firmly into the power outlet. Do not connect or disconnect the Cat B25
USB Power Adapter with wet hands.
The Cat B25 USB Power Adapter may become warm during normal use. Always allow
adequate ventilation around the Cat B25 USB Power Adapter and use care when handling.
Unplug the Cat B25 USB Power Adapter if any of the following conditions exist:
The power cord or plug has become frayed or damaged.
The adapter is exposed to rain, liquid, or excessive moisture.
The adapter case has become damaged.
You suspect the adapter needs service or repair.
You want to clean the adapter.
Avoiding Hearing Damage: Permanent hearing loss may occur if the receiver, earbuds,
headphones, speakerphone, or earpieces are used at high volume. Set the volume to a
safe level. You can adapt over time to a higher volume of sound that may sound normal
but can be damaging to your hearing. If you experience ringing in your ears or muffled
speech, stop listening and have your hearing checked. The louder the volume, the less time
is required before your hearing could be affected. Hearing experts suggest that to protect
your hearing:
Limit the amount of time you use the receiver, earbuds, headphones, speakerphone, or
earpieces at high volume.
Avoid turning up the volume to block out noisy surroundings.
Turn the volume down if you cant hear people speaking near you.
For information about how to adjust volume on the Cat B25, see information elsewhere in
this guide.
Emergency Calls: You should not rely on wireless devices for essential communications,
such as medical emergencies. Use of Cat B25 to call emergency services may not work
in all locations or all operating conditions. Emergency numbers and services vary by
region, and sometimes an emergency call cannot be placed due to network availability
or environmental interference. Some cellular networks may not accept an emergency call
from Cat B25 if it does not have a SIM, if the SIM is PIN-locked, or if you have not activated
your Cat B25.
Driving and Riding Safely: Use of Cat B25 alone or with headphones (even if used only in
one ear) while driving a vehicle or riding a bicycle is not recommended and is illegal in
some areas. Check and obey the laws and regulations on the use of mobile devices like Cat
B25 in the areas where you drive or ride. Be careful and attentive while driving or riding a
bicycle. If you decide to use Cat B25 while driving, keep in mind the following guidelines:

down a to-do list, or flipping through your address book takes attention away from your
primary responsibility, driving safely.
Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that may be distracting. Make
people you are talking with aware you are driving and suspend conversations that have
the potential to divert your attention from the road.
Navigating Safely: Do not rely on Cat B25 applications that provide maps, digital compass
headings, orientation information, directions, or location-based navigation to determine
precise locations, proximity, orientation, distance, or direction. These applications should
only be used for basic navigation assistance. Maps, directions, and location-based
applications depend on data services. These data services are subject to change and may
not be available in all geographic areas, resulting in maps, digital compass headings,
directions or location-based information that may be unavailable, inaccurate, or incomplete.
Do not use location-based applications while performing activities that require your full
attention. For important information about driving safety, see the Driving and Riding
Safely section. Always comply with posted signs and the laws and regulations in the areas
where you are using Cat B25.
For Vehicles Equipped with an Air Bag: An air bag inflates with great force. Do not store Cat
B25 or any of its accessories in the area over the air bag or in the air bag deployment area.
Seizures, Blackouts, and Eyestrain: A small percentage of people may be susceptible to
blackouts or seizures (even if they have never had one before) when exposed to flashing
lights or light patterns such as when playing games or watching video. If you have
experienced seizures or blackouts or have a family history of such occurrences, you should
consult a physician before playing games (if available) or watching videos on your Cat B25.
Discontinue use of Cat B25 and consult a physician if you experience headaches, blackouts,
seizures, convulsion, eye or muscle twitching, loss of awareness, involuntary movement,
or disorientation. To reduce risk of headaches, blackouts, seizures, and eyestrain, avoid
prolonged use, hold Cat B25 some distance from your eyes, use Cat B25 in a well-lit room,
and take frequent breaks.
Choking Hazards: Cat B25 contains small parts, which may present a choking hazard to
small children. Keep Cat B25 and its accessories away from small children.
Repetitive Motion: When you perform repetitive activities such as typing or playing games
on Cat B25, you may experience occasional discomfort in your hands, arms, shoulders,
neck, or other parts of your body. Take frequent breaks and if you have discomfort during or
after such use, stop use and see a physician.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres: Turn off Cat B25 when in any area with a potentially
explosive atmosphere. Do not charge Cat B25, and obey all signs and instructions. Sparks in
such areas could cause an explosion or fire, resulting in serious 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 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 particles (such as grain, dust,
or metal powders); and any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off
your vehicle engine.

Using Connectors and Ports: Never force a connector into a port. Check for obstructions
on the port. If the connector and port dont join with reasonable ease, they probably dont
match. Make sure that the connector matches the port and that you have positioned the
connector correctly in relation to the port.
Accessories and Wireless Performance: Turning on Airplane Mode on Cat B25 may eliminate
audio interference between Cat B25 and an accessory. While Airplane mode is on, you
cannot make or receive calls or use features that require wireless communication. Under
some conditions, certain accessories may affect Cat B25 wireless performance. Reorienting
or relocating Cat B25 and the connected accessory may improve wireless performance.
Keeping Cat B25 Within Acceptable Temperatures: Cat B25 is designed to be operated in
temperatures between 0 and 35 C (32 to 95 F) and stored in temperatures between -20
and 45 C (-4 to 113 F). Low- or high-temperature conditions might temporarily shorten
battery life or cause Cat B25 to temporarily stop working properly. Leaving Cat B25 in a
parked vehicle or in direct sunlight can cause Cat B25 to exceed these storage or operating
temperature ranges. Avoid dramatic changes in temperature or humidity when using Cat
B25 as condensation may form on or within Cat B25.
When youre using Cat B25 or charging the battery, it is normal for Cat B25 to get warm. The
exterior of Cat B25 functions as a cooling surface that transfers heat from inside the unit to
the cooler air outside.
Exposure to Radio Frequency: Energy Cat B25 contains radio transmitters and receivers.
When on, Cat B25 receives and sends out radio frequency (RF) energy through its antennas.
The Cat B25 cellular antenna is located at the bottom edge of Cat B25, to the left of the
Home button. The Wi-Fi and Bluetooth antenna is located at the top edge of Cat B25, to the
right of the headset jack.
For optimal mobile device performance and to be sure that human exposure to RF
energy does not exceed the FCC, IC, and European Union guidelines, always follow these
instructions and precautions: When on a call using the built-in audio receiver in Cat B25,
hold Cat B25 with the dock connector pointed down toward your shoulder to increase
separation from the antenna. When using Cat B25 near your body for voice calls or for
wireless data transmission over a cellular network, keep Cat B25 at least 15 mm (5/8 inch)
away from the body, and only use carrying cases, belt clips, or holders that do not have
metal parts and that maintain at least 15 mm (5/8 inch) separation between Cat B25 and the
body.
Cat B25 is designed and manufactured to comply with the limits for exposure to RF energy
set by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the United States, Industry
Canada (IC) of Canada, and regulating entities of Japan, the European Union, and other
countries. The exposure standard employs a unit of measurement known as the specific
absorption rate, or SAR. The SAR limit applicable to Cat B25 set by the FCC is 1.6 watts per
kilogram (W/kg), 1.6 W/kg by Industry Canada, and 2.0 W/kg by the Council of the European
Union. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions (i.e., at the ear and
worn on the body) specified by these agencies, with Cat B25 transmitting at its highest
certified power level in all tested frequency bands. Although SAR is determined at the
highest certified power level in each frequency band, the actual SAR level of Cat B25 while
in operation can be well below the maximum value because Cat B25 adjusts its cellular
transmitting power based in part on proximity to the wireless network. In general, the
closer you are to a cellular base station, the lower the cellular transmitting power level.
Cat B25 has been tested and meets the FCC, IC, and European Union RF exposure
guidelines for cellular, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth operation.
Cat B25s SAR measurement may exceed the FCC exposure guidelines for body-worn
operation if positioned less than 15 mm (5/8 inch) from the body (e.g., when carrying Cat
B25 in your pocket).
If you are still concerned about exposure to RF energy, you can further limit your exposure
by limiting the amount of time using Cat B25, since time is a factor in how much exposure a
person receives, and by using a hands-free device and placing more distance between your
body and Cat B25, since exposure level drops off dramatically with distance.
