Safety InformationSafety Information

For your safety, please read the guidelines below carefully before you use your phone:

Exposure to radio frequency signals

Your wireless handheld portable telephone is a low power transmitter and receiver. When it is ON,
it receives and also sends out radio frequency (RF) signals.

European and international agencies have set standards and recommendations for the protection
of public exposure to RF electromagnetic energy.

• International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) 1996

• Verband Deutscher Elektringenieure (VDE) DIN- 0848

• Directives of the European Community, Directorate General V in Matters of Radio Frequency
Electromagnetic Energy

• National Radiological Protection Board of the United Kingdom, GS 11, 1988

• American National Standards Institute (ANSI) IEEE. C95.1- 1992

• National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP). Report 86

• Department of Health and Welfare Canada. Safety Code 6

These standards are based on extensive scientific review. For example, over 120 scientists, engi­neers and physicians from universities, government health agencies and industry reviewed the
available body of research to develop the updated ANSI Standard.

The design of your phone complies with these standards when used normally.

RF Exposure Information (SAR)

This model phone meets the government's requirements for exposure to radio waves.

This phone 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 U.S. Government.

The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a unit of measurement known as the
Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg. *Tests for SAR are
conducted using standard operating positions accepted by the FCC with the phone transmitting at

Safety Information iii

its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at
the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the phone while operating can be well
below the maximum value. This is because the phone is designed to operate at multiple power
levels so as to use only the poser required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a
wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output.

The highest SAR value for the model phone as reported to the FCC when tested for use at the ear is

0.449 W/kg (GSM850) / 0.282 W/kg (PCS1900) / 0.475 W/kg (WLAN) and when worn on the

body, as described in this user guide, is 0.642 W/kg (GSM850) / 0.784 W/kg (PCS1900) / 0.16 W/
kg (WLAN). (Body-worn measurements differ among phone models, depending upon available
enhancements and FCC requirements.)

While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones and at various positions,
they all meet the government requirement.

The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model phone with all reported SAR
levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR information on this
model phone is on file with the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section of http://
www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching on FCC ID: JVP57P50.

For body worn operation, this phone has been tested and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines
for use with an accessory that contains no metal and the positions the handset a minimum of 1.5
cm from the body. Use of other enhancements may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure
guidelines. If you do no t use a body-worn accessory and are not holding the phone at the ear,
position the handset a minimum of 1.5 cm from your body when the phone is switched on.

Antenna care

Use only the supplied or approved replacement antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications
or attachments may damage the phone and violate FCC regulations.

Phone operation

Normal Position: Hold the phone as you would any other telephone with the antenna pointed up
and over your shoulder. For your phone to operate most efficiently, do not touch the antenna
unnecessarily when the phone is in use. Contact with the antenna affects call quality and may
cause the phone to operate at higher power level than otherwise needed.

iv Safety Information

Batteries

All batteries can cause property damage, injury or burns if a conductive material such as jewelry,
keys or beaded chains touches exposed terminals. The material may complete electrical circuit and
become quite hot. To protect against such unwanted current drain, exercise care in handling any
charged battery, particularly when placing it inside your pocket, purse or other container with
metal objects. When battery is detached from the phone, your batteries are packed with a protec­tive battery cover; please use this cover for storing your batteries when not in use.

Driving

Check the laws and regulations on the use of wireless telephones in the areas where you drive.
Always obey them. Also, if using your phone while driving, please:

• Give full attention to driving--driving safety is your first responsibility.

• Use hands-free operation, if available.

• Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving conditions so require.

Electronic devices

Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF signals. However, certain electronic
equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals from your wireless phone.

Pacemakers

The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum separation of six
(6") inches be maintained between a handheld wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential
interference with the pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with the independent
research by and recommendations of Wireless Technology Research.

Persons with pacemakers:

Persons with pacemakers:

Persons with pacemakers:Persons with pacemakers:

• Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than six inches from their pacemaker when the phone is
turned ON.

• Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket.

• Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for interference.

Safety Information v

• If you have any reason to suspect that the interference is taking place, turn your phone OFF
immediately.

Hearing Aids

Hearing Aids

Hearing AidsHearing Aids
Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of such interfer-

ence you may want to consult your hearing aid manufacturer to discuss alternatives.

Other medical devices

If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of your device to deter­mine if they are adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your physician may be able to assist
you in obtaining this information.

Turn your phone OFF in health care facilities when any regulations posted in these areas instruct
you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment that could be sensitive to
external RF energy.

Ve h ic l es

RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic systems in motor
vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or its representative regarding your vehicle. You should
also consult the manufacturer of any equipment that has been added to your vehicle.

Posted facilities

Turn your phone OFF in any facility where posted notice so requires.

Aircraft

FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while in the air. Switch OFF your phone, or change to
the Flight mode before boarding an aircraft.

Blasting areas

To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your phone OFF when in a “blasting area” or in
area posted “TURN OFF TWO-WAY RADIO.” Obey all signs and instructions.

vi Safety Information

Potentially explosive atmospheres

Turn your phone OFF and do not remove the battery when in any area with a potentially explosive
atmosphere and obey all signs and instructions. Sparks, from your battery, in such areas could
cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death. Areas with a potentially explo­sive atmosphere are often, but not always clearly marked. They include fueling areas such as gaso­line 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.

For vehicles equipped with an air bag

An air bag inflates with great force. DO NOT place objects, including both installed or portable
wireless equipment, in the area over the air bag or in the air bag deployment area. If in-vehicle
wireless equipment is improperly installed and the air bag inflates, serious injury could result.

FCC information

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.

This mobile phone has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can
radiated radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions,
may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation If this equipment does cause harmful inter­ference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off
and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following
measures:

- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

Safety Information vii

- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is

connected.

- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could

void the user's authority to operate the equipment.

The PDA phone has a number of input method choices to choose from. When using the
phone function, simply use the QWERTY keyboard to enter the phone number then press
the Send

Send key. When using an application that supports text input, you have the option of

SendSend
using the QWERTY keyboard or choosing from a number of ‘soft’ input methods from
the Input Panel to enter typed text. The stylus is available as a point and click device for
navigation. Finally, you can use the stylus to handwrite or make drawings (for certain
applications that support this) and have the results saved as graphics. For example, in the
Notes

Notes application, you can literally scribble notes on the touchscreen and save it to a file.

Entering typed text

When you need to enter typed text into an application you can do so either with the
QWERTY keyboard or one of the input methods provided by the Input Panel. The Input
Panel is an icon on the menu bar when you open an application that supports text input.

Using the QWERTY keyboard

Using the QWERTY keyboardUsing the QWERTY keyboard

The QWERTY keyboard allows you to enter text conveniently - just type on it. You can
use the QWERTY keyboard anytime you need to type something. For example, use the
QWERTY keyboard to key in the phone number you wish to dial in the Phone applica­tion. Or type in a long block of text into your Calendar or Pocket Word application. The
QWERTY keyboard makes text entry very convenient and is an efficient alternative to the
soft input methods as to be described below.

If the conversion is incorrect, you can select different words from a list of alternates or
return to the original writing. To do so, tap and hold the incorrect word (tap one word at

Tips for getting good recognition:

• Write neatly.

• Write on the lines and draw descenders below the line. Write the cross of the ‘t’ and apos-

trophes below the top line so that they are not confused with the word above. Write peri­ods and commas above the line.

• For better recognition, try increasing the zoom level to 300% using the Tools menu.

• Write the letters of a word closely and leave big gaps between words so that the device

can easily tell where words begin and end.

• Hyphenated words, foreign words that use special characters such as accents, and some

punctuation cannot be converted.

• If you add writing to a word to change it (such as changing a ‘3’ to an ‘8’) after you attempt

to recognize the word, the writing you add will not be included if you attempt to recognize
the writing again.

Drawing on the screen

You can draw on the screen in the same way that you write on the screen. The difference
between writing and drawing on the screen is how you select items and how they can be

and record video clips. In addition, the associated Pocket Studio application provides fea­tures for browsing, viewing, and editing your image files.

Taking photographs

1. Press the Camera/Camcorder key on the side of the phone to enter camera

mode.

2. In this mode, the screen will display the lens view in full-screen. (The lens is located on

the back of the PDA phone). When you are ready to snap a picture, press the Camera/
Camcorder key or the joystick to activate the shutter.

3. The Pocket Studio program window will appear with the preview picture on the screen.

You may press the Camera/Camcorder key again to start taking another
picture. After you’ve finished taking pictures, tap anywhere on the screen to exit out of
full-screen.

4. Once you’ve exited out of full-screen, you will see the Pocket Studio program window.

This is the preview mode. In the window center, the lens view is still visible. You can
still take picture at this point by pressing the Camera/Camcorder key. (Notice

the various function items on the toolbar and menu bar available to you.)

The Pocket Studio’s preview mode allows you to use the camera/camcorder to record still
