Part 15 of
FCC Rules Information

This device complies with Part
15 of the FCC Rules. Operation
is subject to the following 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.

Your equipment has been tested
and found to comply with the
limits of a Class B digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of FCC
rules. These limits are designed
to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in
residential installation.

This equipment generates, uses
and can radiate 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 — you are
encouraged to try to correct
the interference by one of the
following measures:

1. Where it can be done safely,
reorient the receiving tele­ vision or radio antenna.

2. To the extent possible, re­ locate the television, radio
or other receiver with respect
to the telephone equipment.

(This increases the separation
between the telephone equip-
ment and the receiver.)

3. Connect the telephone equip­ ment into an outlet on a
circuit different from that to
which the television, radio, or
other receiver is connected.

4. Consult the dealer or an
experienced Radio /TV
technician for help.

USE ENVIRONMENT

Avoiding Water
and Wet Locations

Do not use the phone in rain, or

near washbasins or other wet

locations. Take care not to spill
any food or liquid on the phone.

In case the phone gets wet, unplug

LISTENING LEVEL
WAR N ING S

Exposure to high volume sound
levels may damage your hearing.
Although there is no single volume
setting that is appropriate for

everyone, you should always use
your mobile phone with the

volume set at moderate levels and
avoid prolonged exposure to high
volume sound levels. The louder
the volume, the less time is re­quired before your hearing could
be affected. You may experience

different sound levels when using
your headset or headphones with

different devices. The device you
use and its settings affect the level
of sound you hear. If you experi­ence hearing discomfort, you
should stop listening to the device

through your headset or head­phones. To protect your hearing,
some hearing experts suggest
that you:

1. Set the volume control in a low

position before putting the head
set or headphones on your ears.

2. Limit the amount of time you
use headsets or headphones at
high volume.

3. Avoid turning up the volume to
block out noisy surroundings.

4. Turn the volume down if the

sound from the headset or
headphones prevents you from
hearing people speaking near you.

Emergency Call Feature

When the emergency button is
pressed the emergency numbers
saved in the phone’s address

book will be called in the order

you have selected until a party is
reached. Up to five emergency
numbers may be saved in the
address book. The numbers and

the order they will be called

must be entered into the phone
in order to ensure the desired

numbers are dialed when the

emergency button is pressed.
After you have entered your five
emergency numbers, you should
test the phone’s emergency call
feature by pressing the emergency
button to ensure that you have
correctly entered the numbers
into the phone.

Since the phone service must be
purchased in advance through

monthly pre-paid credits, you must
ensure that you have made your
pre-payment in order for the phone
service to remain activated. If you
do not make your monthly pre­payment or if you do not make a

full monthly payment, you will lose

your phone service, and the phone

and the emergency call feature will

not be available.

You must also ensure that the
phone’s battery is fully-charged at
all times and that the phone is in

good working condition in order

for the emergency call feature

to work.

If the phone is outside of a cover-

age area, if network service is tem­porarily suspended by the network
carrier, or if there is network or

phone interference, the emergency

call feature will not be available

during those times.

This phone is not equipped with a

global positioning service or other
means to determine the physical
location of the phone. Conse­quently, if an emergency situation
arises but you are unable to provide
your location to an emergency
contact person in your address
book, neither they nor an emer­gency response service may be
able to locate you.

The SIM card must be installed

and activated before you will

receive any phone service. If the
SIM card is damaged or replaced,
the emergency contact numbers
you entered into the phone will
be lost. In that case you must
re-enter your five emergency
contact numbers into the phone’s
address book in order to restore
the emergency call feature.

After you have re-entered your five
emergency numbers, you should
test the phone’s emergency call
feature by pressing the emergency
button to ensure that you have
correctly entered the numbers into
the phone.

RADIO FREQUENCY

INTERFERENCE

Pacemakers

The Health Industry Manufacturers
Association recommends that a

• Should always keep the phone

more than (6) 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.

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