Safety precautions
Information for parents
Please read the operating instructions and safety precautions carefully before use.
Explain the content to your children and the hazards associated with using the phone.
Remember to comply with legal
requirements and local
restrictions when using the
phone. For example, in
aeroplanes, petrol stations,
hospitals or while driving.
Mobile phones can interfere with
the functioning of medical
devices such as hearing aids
or pacemakers. Keep at least 20
cm/9 inches b etween phone and
pacemaker. When using the
mobile phone hold it to the ear
which is furthest away from the
pacemaker. For more
information consult your doctor.
Always keep the phone and
accessories out of reach of small
children.
Small parts such as the SIM card,
as well as the microSD card can
be dismantled and swallowed by
small children.
Do not place the phone near to
electromagnetic data carriers
such as credit cards and floppy
disks. Information stored on
them could be lost.
Do not look directly into the LED
(e.g. flash LED) with optical
magnifiers because of radiation.
Permanent hearing loss may
occur if you use ear- or
headphones at high volume.You
can adapt over time to a higher
volume, which may sound
normal but can be damaging to
your hearing. Set your volume to
a safe level. If you experience
discomfort or buzzing in your
ears, reduce the volume or
discontinue use of your ear- or
headphones.
Ringtones, info tones and
handsfree talking are reprod uced
through the loudspeaker. Do not
hold the phone to the ear when it
rings or when you have switched
on the handsfree function.
Otherwise you risk serious
permanent damage to your
hearing.
The mains voltage (V) specified
on the power su pply unit must
not be exceeded. Otherwise the
charging device may be
damaged.
The power supply must be
plugged into an easily accessible
AC mains power socket when
charging the battery. The only
way to turn off the charging
device after charging the battery
is to unplug i t.
7Safety precautions
Safety precautions8
You may only open the phone to
replace the battery, SIM and
microSD Card. You must not
open the battery under any
circumstances. All other changes
to this device are strictly
prohibited an d will invalidate the
guarantee.
• Only use original batteries and
charging devices. Otherwise
you risk serious damage to
health and property. The
battery could explode, for
instance.
• All batteries can cause property
dama ge, inju ry or burns if a
conductive material such as
jewelry, keys or beaded chains
touch exposed terminals. The
material may complete an
electrical circuit and become
quite hot. Exercise care in
handling any charged battery,
particularly when placing it
inside your pocket, purse or
other container with metal
objects. Your batteries are
supplied with a protective
cover. Please attach this cover
to your batteries when
detached from the phone and
not in use.
• Do not dispose of batteries in
fire as they may explode.
The phone may cause
interference in the vicinity of TV
sets, radios and PCs.
Use only original accessories.
This will avoid potential risks to
health or property and ensure
compliance with all relevant
regulations.
All electrical and electronic
products should be disposed of
separately from the municipal
waste stream via designated
collection facilities appointed by
the government or the local
authorities.
This crossed-out wheeled bin
symbol on the product means the
product is covered by the
European Directive 2002/96/EC.
The correct disposal and separate
collection of your old appliance
will help prevent potential
negative consequences for the
environment and human health.
It is a precondition for reuse and
recycling of used electrical and
electronic equipment.
For more detailed information
about disposal of your old
appliance, please contact your
city office, waste disposal service
or the shop where you purchased
the product.
Improper use will invalidate the
guarantee! These safety instructions also
apply to original accessories.
As mobile devices offer a range of
functions, they can be used in positions
other than the head, such as on the body.
In this case, at data transfer (GPRS) a
separation distance of 1.5 cm is required.
9Safety precautions
Bluetooth®
Your phone has a Bluetooth® interface. This
makes it possible to establish a wireless
connection with your phone and a headset
of a car kit, or other Bluetooth-enabled
devices.
In order to establish a secure link between
the devices and to prevent a third party
from having access to your phone, you
should observe the following points:
• The initial connection between two
devices, what is called "pairing", should
take place in familiar surroundings.
• Both devices must be able to identify
themselves one time by using a
password/PIN. To ensure sufficient
security, you should choose a 4-digit
number combination for a password that
would be difficult to guess (if a PIN has
not been assigned).
• An automatic connection acceptance
("connection without confirmation")
should only be used in exceptional cases.
• In general, only trustworthy devices
shou ld be lin ked in or der to minimize
security risks.
• You should restrict the "visibility" of your
phone if possible. This will make it much
more difficult for unknown devices to
establish a connection with your phone.
To do this, se e "Making the phone visibl e"
on page 55.
• The name of your phone is transmitted in
a Bluetooth connection. The factory
default name is "BenQ E72". The first time
Bluetooth function is activated, or later in
the Bluetooth menu, you can change this
name. See Page 56.
•If Bluetooth function is not needed, this
function should be deactivated.
•Before using Bluetooth accessories, or a
mobile phone inside a vehicle, check the
vehicle user guide for any limitations on
the use of these products.
DRM
This phone features Digital Rights
Management (DRM) technology. DRM
allows copyright-protected audio/visual
content transm issions for playback in
computers, portable devices and network
devices, while protecting them from
unauthorised use.
• This user manual provides important
procedures and information to
familiarise yourself with the device.
Please keep this manual in a safe place
for future reference.
• Support for the CD content is provided
by BenQ. Instead of going to the
operator/dealer, contact your local
BenQ office for further assistance.
