INTRODUCTION: BENEFON ESC! 7

The high quality Benefon Esc! is developed and manufactured by Benefon Oyj. Benefon is a company operating worldwide and specializing in wireless communication instruments. The high-quality and user-friendly Benefon products are developed and manufactured in Finland.

T9 text input technology

This phone has one of the world’s most developed text input software systems - T9. The T9 Text Input software is a technology for enabling rapid entry of text on reduced-key keypads - one press for each letter is enough.

On phone keypads, as well as in other reduced-key keypads, one key is assigned more than one letter or function, and selecting a letter is normally done by pressing the key however many times necessary to get the letter desired. T9 removes this necessity by using a database with a vocabulary and linguistic rules that recognizes which word you are writing.

If there is more than one word possible for the key combination, T9 will choose the most commonly used word and also allow selection from a list.

T9 is a trademark of

Tegic Communications, Inc. For further information about T9, please see www.tegic.com

(T9 is patented under the following U.S. Patents: 5,818,437, 5,953,541, 5,187,480, 5,945,928, 6,011,554 and additional patents are pending worldwide.)

Global Positioning System (GPS)

The Global Positioning System is a worldwide system of 24 satellites which orbit the earth twice a day, transmitting precise time and position information. The system is operated and maintained by the government of the United States.

The GPS receiver in your Benefon Esc! receives signals from up to twelve satellites at once, and using this information calculates your position and tracks your movement on Earth, and also sets your phone’s clock on time.

Benefon Esc! is able to translate and use the changing position information from the satellites up to 23 different types of navigation-related data items,

8 INTRODUCTION: BENEFON ESC!

including speed and heading, average and top speed, trip odometer, waypoints and routes, direction, ETA, and distance to a waypoint. Esc! also supports the NMEA 0183 interface.

Information must be received from at least three suitably positioned satellites for position calculation. The signals sent by the GPS satellites are quite weak and do not travel through solid objects.

SAFETY AND PRECAUTIONS

General

•Road traffic: There are reasons to be concerned about traffic safety when using a mobile phone or other similar instrument while driving a motor vehicle. While the actual risk varies greatly according to the conditions and the driver, it is advisable to strictly adhere to all eventual European and national legislation and also honour other eventual safety recommendations. It is specifically advisable to install and use a hands-free operating system in a car for minimizing the distraction from using the phone. When receiving a call in an awkward driving situation, you should always put safety before other priorities and courtesy. If you feel uncomfortable about using an instrument while driving, you simply should not use it.

•External alert: Use of the alert device to operate a vehicle´s lights or horn on public roads is not permitted.

•Children: Keep your phone and its accessories away from small children to avoid causing injury to themselves or others. Damage to the phone or its accessories is also thus avoided.

10 INTRODUCTION: SAFETY AND PRECAUTIONS

•Power supplies: This equipment is intended for use with the following power supplies: batteries BBL-77-N and BBL-77-P, mains charger CMA-70-230 (with cable FMC-70), and cigarette lighter charger CCS-71-12. Any other usage will invalidate any approval given to this apparatus and may be dangerous.

•Other accessories: Any other accessories used should also be approved by the phone manufacturer. Check the compatibility of new power supply units and other accessories at the dealer.

•Magnetic fields: Benefon Esc! contains small magnetic components. Even though the magnetic fields of the components are weak, they might damage magnetic cards, such as bank and credit cards. We recommend that you keep your mobile phone away from magnetic cards.

Radio frequency (RF) energy

•Aircrafts: Turn your phone off before boarding any aircraft and do not use the phone while in the air. Also make sure that the automatic power on or alarm clock functions will not activate the phone during the flight. Besides being illegal, the use of a mobile phone in an aircraft may endanger the operation of the aircraft

or disrupt the mobile network. Failure to comply with this instruction may lead to suspension or denial of mobile phone services, and possibly even legal action.

•Hospitals: Turn your phone off before entering hospitals or other health care facilities where medical electronic equipment may be in use. Such devices are extremely sensitive to radio frequency interference. Only use the phone with permission and under instruction of the hospital staff.

•Medical devices: Remember that any personal medical devices (such as hearing aids or pacemakers) may be affected by RF energy if they are not adequately shielded. Consult the manufacturer or vendor of the equipment to determine the proper shielding.

•Explosive atmospheres: Turn off the phone at refuelling points, e.g. gas stations. Also observe restrictions on the use of radio equipment in fuel depots, chemical plants or where blasting operations are in progress because remote control RF devices are often used to set off explosives.

GPS and map data

•The Global Positioning System (GPS) is operated by the government of the United States, which is solely responsible for its accuracy and maintenance. The system is subject to changes that could affect the accuracy and performance of all GPS equipment.

•GPS signals are weak and do not penetrate solid objects such as people, buildings, rocks, or heavy tree cover. This may affect GPS receiver performance indoors, in urban areas with tall buildings, or whenever the GPS antenna doesn’t have an unobstructed view of the sky.
