8 Operating instructions
Before using the equipment for the first time, please read the safety and ope­rating instructions very thoroughly. Remember there is no vibra call in your modified ex-cell phone, please ignore all instructions in the original operating manual which describe the use and function of the vibra call. Further, the inte­grated camera is deactivated due to ex-relevant reasons.
8.1 Safety in traffic
NEVER attempt to hold a mobile phone in the hand whilst driving a motor vehi­cle. Never lay it on the passenger seat or in an unsecured place, as in the event of sudden braking or manoeuvres serious injury or damage may be caused by the unit being thrown around. Secure the phone in the holder pro­vided for it.
Never forget that:
Road safety has priority!
8.2 Operating environment
The regulations valid for a particular area must be complied with under all cir­cumstances. The mobile phone unit must always be switched off when the use of mobile telephones is forbidden or when interference could be caused which could result in dangerous situations. The unit must always be held in the normal operating position. As parts of the telephone are magnetic, metal objects could be attracted. Particularly, persons with a hearing-aid should not use the on an ear which has a hearing-aid fitted. To prevent metal objects being attracted to the telephone, it should always be secured in the suitable holder provided for it. Never let a credit card or other device storing data magnetically come near the telephone as this could result in the data being erased.
8.3 Electronic equipment
Most modern electronic equipment is screened to prevent interference from socalled RF-signals (radio frequencies). However it is just possible that certain pieces of equipment are not screened against the RF-signals generated by your mobile telephone.

8.3.1 Cardiac pacemaker
The following instructions apply to persons fitted with a cardiac pacemaker:
• When the mobile phone unit is switched-on, ensure that a minimum distance
of 20 cm between the mobile- phone unit and the Pacemaker is maintained.
• In order to help guarantee this distance, it is recommended that the mobile
phone unit is not kept in a breast pocket.
• To minimise interference we recommend that the ear furthest away from the
Pacemaker is used when using the mobile phone unit.
• Furthermore, we recommend that should you suspect that damage to the
Pacemaker has been caused, you should switch the mobile phone unit off immediately. In order to guarantee the correct functioning of your Pacemaker, you should seek medical advice.
8.3.2 Hearing aid
In case of malfunctioning of certain types of hearing aid, please refer the pro­blem to your local service provider.
8.3.3 Other medical equipment
As with other electronic equipment, your mobile phone can interfere with inadequately screened medical equipment. Should you need information on the screening needed to protect an item of medical equipment against exter­nal RF signals, please contact the doctor responsible or the manufacturer of the equipment. In general, to avoid malfunctioning, you should switch your mobile phone off in all health institutions where this is specifically requested by signs, labels or regulations.
Please remember: In hospitals and other health institutions, equipment is used which is very susceptible to interference from external RF.
8.3.4 Places with appropriate signs
You should switch your mobile phone off wherever there are signs requesting this.

8.4 Transport
8.4.1 Motor vehicles
In certain circumstances, RF signals can interfere with the correct functioning of incorrectly installed or inadequately screened systems in your motor vehi­cle (e.g. electronically controlled fuel injection, electronic ABS - (Antilock Brake Systems), electronic speed controllers or airbag systems). You can obtain information about your vehicle from the manufacturer or his representa­tive. To be on the safe side and avoid malfunctioning, you should have your mobile phone built into your car by a qualified person. Incorrect installation or main­tenance can have dangerous consequences. Don’t forget that these faults result in invalidation of the guarantee given with the unit. We recommend a regular check of the parts of the mobile telephone installed in your vehicle. In the case of an accident in a vehicle fitted with airbag(s), these are filled with great force. In order to minimize the risk of injury or mal­functioning, no parts should be installed in the space that would be taken up by the inflated airbag
8.4.2 Aircrafts
The use of mobile phones in aircrafts is normally forbidden. You should there­fore switch the mobile phone off before boarding the aircraft. Because the use of a mobile telephone on board an aircraft can have dangerous consequen­ces, failure to comply with this regulation can result in the mobile telephone services of the offender being suspended or denied and/or legal action taken against the offender.
8.5 Emergency calls
Because a 100% coverage of the mobile-telephone network is technically very difficult to realize, a connection cannot be guaranteed in all situations and locations. We therefore recommend that you do not rely entirely on the mobile telephone when it is question of communication in a medical emergency. A guaranteed acceptance of an emergency call is also not possible when additional telephone functions or net services are activated. Information on this subject can be obtained from the mobile telephone operator.

Procedure in the event of an emergency call:
1. Switch the telephone on if it is not already switched on. Check whether
the signal strength is adequate. In certain networks it may be necessary to plug a valid SIM card into the telephone.
2. Press the red off / END key as many times as is necessary (e.g. to end
call or quit a menu etc.) to erase the display and prepare the mobile telephone for making a call.
3. Enter the emergency number (e.g. 911, 112 or some other official emer
gency number) which is valid for your current location. The emergency numbers vary from place to place.
4. Press the green call / SEND key.
Important : If you happen to have activated several functions, it may be that you must switch them off first before you can make the emergency call.
9 Certification Information (SAR)
THIS DEVICE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT’S REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.
Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It 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. Governement. These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines are based on standards that were developed by independent scientific organiza­tions through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The stan­dards include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
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
8
the FCC is 1.6 W/kg*. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions accepted by the FCC with the phone transmitting at its highest certi­fied power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR 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 power required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output.
Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the limit established by the government-adopted requirement for safe exposure. The tests are performed in positions and locations (for example, at the ear and worn on the body) as required by the FCC for each model. The highest SAR value for this model phone as reported to the FCC when tested for use at the ear is 1.26 W/kg, and when worn on the body, as descri­bed in this user guide, is 1.29 W/kg. (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 LJPNPL-4.
For body worn operation, this phone has been tested and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines for use with a carry case, belt clip, or holder that contains no metal and that positions the headset a minimum of 5/8-inch (1.5 cm) from the body. Use of other carry cases, belt clips, or holders may not ensure com­pliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines. If you do not use a body-worn accessory and are not holding the phone at the ear, position the handset a minimum of 5/8-inch (1.5 cm) from your body when the phone is switched on.
* In the United States and Canada the SAR limit for mobile phones used by the public is 1.6 watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged over one gram tissue. The
