FCC RF EXPOSURE INFORMATION

In August 1996 the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the United States
with its action in Report and Order FCC 96-326 adopted an updated safety standard
for human exposure to radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC
regulated transmitters. Those guidelines are consistent with the safety standard
previously set by both U.S. and international standards bodies. The design of this
phone complies with the FCC guidelines and these international standards.

Use only the supplied or an approved antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications,
or attachments could impair call quality, damage the phone, or result in violation of
FCC regulations.

Do not use the phone with a damaged antenna. If a damaged antenna comes into
contact with the skin, a minor burn may result. Please contact your local dealer for
replacement antenna.

Body-worn Operation

This device was tested for typical body-worn operations. To comply with FCC RF
exposure requirements, a minimum separation distance of 0.4 inches (1.0 cm) must be
maintained between the user’s body and the handset, including the antenna whether
extended or retracted. Third-party belt-clips, holsters, and similar accessories used by
this device should not contain any metallic components. Body -worn accessories that
do not meet these requirements may not comply with FCC RF exposure requirements
and should be avoided.

For more information about RF exposure, please visit the FCC website at www.fcc.gov

BATTERY INFORMATION

Your phone comes with a partially charged, rechargeable Lithium Ion (LiIon) Battery so that
you can use the phone immediately after it is activated.

Installing the Battery.

To attach the battery to your phone :

1. Hold the battery so that metal contacts on the base of the battery line up with the metal
contacts on the base of the phone.

2. Place the battery on the back of the phone with the top of the battery about a quarter of an
inch from the latch.

3. Gently slide the battery toward the top of the phone until it snaps into place.

Charging the Battery.

You can tell whether or not your battery needs to be recharged by checking the lower-right
corner of your phone’s display.

When the battery charge level gets low, the battery sensor will let you know by blinking the
battery icon and sounding a warning tone. If the battery level gets too low, the phone will turn
off automatically. Unfortunately, if this happens you’ll lose whatever you were just doing,
including dropping your call. Watch the battery strength icon and make sure your battery is
adequately charged.

Charging with the Single-Slot Desktop Charger.

Use only Vacom approved chargers and adapters with your phone. Use of any unauthorized
accessories may be dangerous and will invalidate the phone warranty if said accessories cause
damage or a defect to the phone.

To charge the battery using the Single-Slot Desktop Charger :

- Plug the power cord of the charger into a wall outlet.

- Insert the entire phone with battery attached or a single battery into the cradle of the
charger.

If you charge the battery while it is attached to your phone, a green LED on the charger denotes
that the battery has completed its charge cycle.

A completely discharged standard battery recharges fully in approximately tbd hours. The
extended battery recharges in approximately tbd hours. Leaving your phone powered on during
charging, or charging batteries simultaneously, increases charging time. Leaving the battery in
the charger once it is fully charged does not harm the battery.

Turning your phone on and off.

When you’re ready to turn your phone on, fully extend the antenna for best reception. Press and
hold “END/ ” until the LED comes on and the phone sounds. When the phone has found a

signal, the “ ” icon appears. Once the phone is on, it enters Standby mode, which is the
phone’s idle state. You can make and receive calls now.

To turn your phone off, press and hold “END/ ” until the LED comes on and the phone sounds,
then the display will goes blank. When the phone is turned off, nothing is displayed on the
screen.

Note : If “END/ ” is pressed for less than one second, the phone will not turn off. This helps
your phone from being turned off accidentally.

Standby mode.

Standby is the most basic state of your phone. The phone goes into standby mode soon after you
turn it on, or whenever you briefly press “END/ ”. When your phone is in Standby mode, you
will typically see the banner (that’s the message displayed when you turn on your phone). If you
enter a phone number, you can press “SEND” to dial it, or press “SMS key (…)”to save it in the
internal phone book.

Power Save mode.

Your phone comes with a Power Save feature that will automatically be activated if your phone
is unable to find a signal after 15 minutes of searching. While this feature is active, the phone’s
battery charge is conserved.
The phone will automatically recheck for a signal periodically. To manually force the phone to
