Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use
Since its introduction in the mid 1980s the mobile
phone is one of the most exciting and innovative
products ever developed. Your phone can help you to
stay in touch with your office, your home, emergency
services and others.
Safety
industry reviewed the available body of research to
develop the ANSI Standard (C95.1).
The design of your phone complies with the FCC guidelines (and th ose standards).
* American National Standards Institute: National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements; International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection.
Antenna Care
Exposure to Radio Frequency Signals
Your wireless handheld portable telephone is a low
power radio transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it
receives and also sends out radio frequency (RF) signals.
In August, 1996, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) adopted RF exposure guidelines with
safety levels f or ha ndheld wireless phones. T hose guidelines are consistent with the safety standards previously
set by both US and international standards bodies:
• ANSI C95.1 (1992)*
• NCRP Report 86 (1986)*
• ICNIRP (1996)*
Those standards were based on comprehensive and periodic evaluations of the relevant scientific literature. For
example, over 120 scientists, engineers, and physicians

Phone Operation
Use only the supplied or an approved replacement
antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or
attachments could damage the phone and may violate
FCC regulations.
NORMAL POSITION: Hold the phone as you would
any other telephone with the antenna pointed up and
over your shoulder.
TIPS ON EFFICIENT OPERATION: For your phone
to operate most efficiently:
• Extend your antenna fully (where applicable).
• 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 a
higher power level than otherwise needed.
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 safely is your
first responsibility.
• Use handsfree operation, if available.
• Pull off the road and park before making or answe r-
ing a call if driving conditions so require.
In addition, Ericsson su ggests the followin g sa fe driving
tips if you are using your phone while driving:
• Get to know your wireless phone and its features
such as speed dial and redial.
• Position your wireless phone
within easy reach.
• Suspend conversation s during
hazardous driving conditions or
situations.
• Do not take notes or look up
phone numbers while driving.
• Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place
calls when you are not moving or before pulling
into traffic.
• Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that may be distracting.
• Use your wireless phone to ca ll for help.
• Use you wireless phone to help others in emergen-

cies.
Electronic Devices
• Call roadside assistance or a special wireless nonemergency assistance number when necessary.
Most modern electronic equipmen t is shielded from RF
signals. However, certain electronic equipment may not
be shielded agai n st RF sig n a ls 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
indepe ndent researc h by and rec ommen dations of Wire less T echnology Research.
Persons with pacemakers:
• Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than six
inches from their pacemaker when the ph one is
turned ON.
• Should not carry the p hon e in a breast pocket.
• Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to mini-
mize the potential for interferenc e.
• If you hav e any rea son t o sus pect that i nterf ere nce is
taking place, turn your phone OFF immediately.
Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some
hearing aids. In the event of such interference, you ma y
want to consult your service provider (or cal l th e cus tomer service line to discuss alternatives).
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the
manufacturer of your device to determine if it is 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.
Vehicles
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic syste ms in motor vehicles.
Check with the manufacturer or its representative
regarding your vehicle. You should also co nsult t he manufacturer of any equipment that has been added to your
vehicle.
Blasting Areas
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your
phone OFF when in a “blasting area” or in areas posted :
“Turn off two-way radio.” Obey all signs and instructions.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Turn your phone OFF when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere and obey all signs and
instructions. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodi ly injury or even dea th.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often
but not always clearly marked. They include fueling
areas such as gasoline st at ions ; bel o w 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 eng i n e.
Posted Facilities
Turn your phone OFF in any facility where posted
notices so require.
Aircraft
FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while in the
air. Switch OFF your phone before boarding an aircraft.
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
bodily injury could result.

Product Care and Operation
Ericsson suggests you read an observe the following for
safe care and operation of your phone:
• Do not allow children to play with yo ur ph one .
They could hurt themselves or others, or could accidentally damage the phone. Your phone may contain small parts that could be detached and create a
choking hazard.
• Do not expose your mobile phone to moisture or
extreme temperatures.
• Only Ericsson original accessories are recommended. Failure to use them may result in loss of
performance or product damage, and will void the
warranty.
• Do not attempt to disassemble the prod uct. Doing
so will void warranty. This product does not contain consumer serv iceable componen t s. Service
should only be performed by Authorized Service
Centers.
• Do not allow objects to fall on, or liquids to spill on
products.
• Connect AC (power supply) only to designated
power sources as marked on the product.
• To reduce risk of damage, remove the electrical cord
from the outlet by pulling the AC adapter rather
than the cord.
Battery Information
• Make sure the electric cord is located so that it w il l
not be stepped on , tripped ove r, or ot he rw ise subjected to damage or stress.
• To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug the unit
from the power source before attempting any cleaning. Once unplugged, use a soft cloth lightly dampened with water for cl ean i n g .
• DANGER - Never alter the AC cord or plug. If the
plug will not fit int o the ou tlet, ha ve a pro per out let
installed by a qualified electrician. Improper connection can result in risk of electric shock.
• Don ’t continue to twist the antenna after it has
been inserted. Exc es s twi sting will damage the
antenna.
• Be cautious if removing your antenna. A detached
antenna may be a choking hazard for children.
New Batteries
The battery packaged with your phone is not fully
charged. For maximum battery capacity, use your
charger to condition the battery.
Recycling Your Battery
Your phone manufacturer is a member of the Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation (RBRC), a nonprofit service organization designed to assist in the recy-
Not for commercial use – Ericsson Inc.
6 Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use
cling of rechargeable batteries. Many areas require the
recycling of rechargeable batteries. In the U.S., call 1800-822-8837 to find out how to recycle your battery.
Outside the U.S., contact your local retailer for recycling
instructions.
Battery Use and Care
A rechargeable battery has a long service life if treated
properly. A new battery, or one that has not been used
for a long period of time, should be conditioned before
using your phone. Avoid recharging a fully-charged or
almost fully-charged battery . This can result in the memory effect, which causes the battery to charge to less than
its full capacity. If your phone shuts off due t o low battery power, you should charge the battery within 24
hours for the battery to reach full capacity.
• Do not leave your battery where it may be subjected to extremely hot or c old temperatures. This
could reduce the battery’s capacity.
• Do not let the metal contacts on the battery touch
another metal object such as keys in your pocket.
This could short-circuit and damage the battery.
• Do not attempt to take a battery apart.
• Do not expose a battery to open flame. Th is could
cause the batter y to explode.
• Turn your phone OFF before removing the battery.
• Use only the AC/DC adapter supplied with your
battery charger. Using a different adapter could be
dangerous and will void your phone warranty.
• Never charge a battery when the ambient room
temperature is below 50° F (10°C) or above 105°F
(40°C).
• Do not allow the battery to be placed into the
mouth. Battery electrol yte s may be toxic if swallowed.

8 Getting Started
Charging Your Battery
Your Charger
Your phone was packaged with
either a rapid or travel charger . I t is
important that you fully charge
your battery before you use your
phone. Both chargers supply
power to charge your battery while
the battery is att a ched to your
phone. If your pho ne i s On, it can
receive calls wh i le using either
charger.
Note! Never attach the charger to a
phone that does not have a battery
installed.
If you have a rapid charger, plug the charger into a
standard wall electrical outlet. If you have a travel
charger, connect the appropriate AC power cord and
phone charging cord to the travel charger.
Hold the phone with the display and keypad facing
up.
Hold the small plug on the charger cord so the light-
ning bolt symbol ( ) is up.
Align the small plug on the charger cord with the con-
nector on the bottom of your phone. The connector
on the phone is above the lightning bolt symbo l.
Press the plug into the con n ector until the plug
“snaps” into pl ace . The battery icon is alternated with
the icon.
Note! Do not twist while inserting or removing the small plug
on the charger co rd!
Continue charging the phone until the battery is fully
charged.
Note! The battery is being charged when the battery icon is
alternating with the icon. The battery is fully
charged when the icon is constant.
To disconnect the charger, lift the plug connected to
the phone upwards (1) and pull it out (2).
Charge-Only Mode
If your phone is off, attaching the charger will cause the
phone to activate in charge-only mode. When this mode
is activated the messa ge Charging Only appears in
the display. Your phone is now fast (rapid) charging the
battery. When your battery is fully charged, Battery
Charged appears in the phone’s display.
Note! You cannot make or receive calls when your phone is in
charge-only mode.
Slow (Trickle) Charging a Deeply
Discharged Battery
The battery may become deeply discharged (for example, when the battery is stored for a long period). As a
result, the phone may not activate charge-only mode
when the charger is connected.
Attach the charger to the pho ne for several hours to
slowly charge (tric kle charge) the battery.
After trickle charging the battery for several hours the
phone should activate the charge-only mode automatically.
Continue charging the phone until the battery is fully
charged.
Note! If the phone is in charge-only mode, Battery
Charged appears in the display when the bat tery is
fully charged.

You are probably in a geographic area with minimal service. Wait until the signal strength indicator in your phone's display shows a high relative
signal strength (more bars) before trying a call.
Make note of geographic locations where calls
are dropped and contact your service provider.
This is a common occurrence. Transmitters are
set in geographic areas and coverage is not 100%
all of the time. Signal strength varies as you
travel between cells.
The signal is too weak to make a call. Try again
when the signal streng th is on e ba r or stronger.
The battery power is low. When the phone shuts
itself off, r eplace the battery with a fully charged
one, or use an alternate power source, such as a
