Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use
Important: Read this information before using your portable phone
General
Since its introduction in the mid 1980s the portable
phone is one of the most exciting and innovative products ever developed. With it, you can stay in contact
with your office , your home, emerg enc y serv ice s, and
othe rs.
Your telephone is a radio transmitter and receiver.
When it is ON it receives and also sends out radio frequency (RF) energy . Depen ding upon the type of mobile phone you have purchase d, it operates in diff eren t
frequency ranges and employs commonly used modulation techniques. When you use your phone, the system handling your call controls the power level at
which your phone transmits.
For the safe and efficie nt operatio n of your phone , observe these guidelines.
Exposure to radio frequency energy
The International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP), sponsored by the World
Health Organization (WHO), published a statement in
1996 which sets limits for exposure to RF fields from
handheld mobile phone. According to this statement,
which is based on the available body of research, there
is no eviden ce tha t mob ile term inals meeting the recommended limits can cause any advers e health effects.
All Ericsson telephones conform to the ICNIRP recommendations, and international exposure standards,
such as:
•CENELEC European Pre-standard ENV50166-2
•ANS I/IEEE C 95.1-1992 (USA, Asia- Pacific)
If you want to limit RF exposure even further, you
may choose to control the duration of your calls and
operate your phone in the most power effic ie nt man ner.
Efficient phone operation
How to use your phone for optimum performance with
minimum power consumption:
•Hold the phone as you would any other telephone.
While spea kin g dire ctly into the mouthp iece , an gle
the antenna in a direction up and over yo ur sh o ul der. If the antenna is extendable, it should be extended during a call.
•Do not hold the antenna when the pho ne i s IN
USE. Holding the antenna affects call quality, may
cause the phone to operate at a higher power level
than needed and shorten talk and standby times.
Antenna car e an d replac em ent
Do not use the phone with a damaged antenna. Replace a damaged antenna immediately. Consult your
manual to see if you may change the antenna yourself.
If so, use only an Ericsson approved antenna. Otherwise, take your phone to a qualified s ervice centre for
repair.
Use only the desig nated Ericsso n an te nn a. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could
damage the phone and may violate the appropriate
regulations.
EN
Do not use an antenna designe d for any other typ e of
portable telephone than the telephone you have purchased.
Driving
Check the laws and regulations on the use of telephones in the areas where you drive. Always obey
them. Also, whe n usin g your phone while driving,
please :
•Give full attention to driving.
•Use hands-fre e operatio n, if available.
•Pull off the road and park before making or an-
swering a call if driving conditions so require.
RF energy may affect some electronic systems in motor vehicles. In additio n, s om e vehicle manufacture rs
forbid the use of mobile phones in their vehicles.
Check with your vehicle manufacturer’s representative
to be sure your phon e will not affe ct the electronic systems of your vehicle.
Electronic devices
Most modern ele c tron ic equipm e nt, for ex am p le,
equipment in hospitals and cars, is shielded from RF
energy. However, RF energy from telephones may affect some electronic equipment.
Turn your phone OFF in health care facilities when
regulations posted in the areas instruct you to do so.
Always request pe rmissio n be f ore using you r ph one
near medical equipment.
LZT 126 1343/2 R1A i
Mobile tele p ho ne s may affe c t the ope ration of some
implanted cardiac pacemakers, equipment for people
with hearing impairments and other medically implanted equipment. Pacemaker patients should be
aware that the use of a mobile phone very clos e to a
pacemaker may cause the device to malfunction.
Avoid placing the phon e over the pace make r, i.e . in
your breast pocket. Whe n using the phone, place it at
your ear opposite the pacemaker. If a distance of
15cm. is kept between the phone and the pacemaker,
the risk of interference is limited. Contact your cardiologist for more information.
Aircraft
Turn your phone OFF before boarding any aircraft.
•Use it on the ground only with crew permission
•Turn off your phone before the aircraft leaves the
ground. Do not use it in the air.
To prevent possible interference with aircraft systems,
safety regulations require you to have permission from
a crew member to use your ph on e while the plane is
on the ground. To prevent interference with communication systems, you must not use your phone while the
plane is in the air.
Power Supply
•Connec t AC (Power sup ply ) only to de s ign ate d
power sources as marked on the produc t.
•To reduce risk of damage to electric cord, remove
from outlet by holding onto AC adapter rather
than cord.
•Make sure the cord is located so that it will not be
stepped on, tripp ed ove r or otherw is e sub jec te d to
damage or stress.
•To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug unit from
power source before attempting any cleaning, then
use soft cloth dampened on with water.
Children
Do not allow child re n to pl ay with your ph on e. It is
not a toy. Children could hurt themselves or others (by
poking themselves or others in the eye with the antenna for example ). Child ren could also damage the
phone or make calls that incre ase your tele phon e bills .
Blasting areas
To avoid interf e ri n g with bl asting operatio ns, turn
your unit OFF when in a “blasting area” or in areas
posted “turn off two-way radio”. Construction crews
often use remote control RF de vic es to set off explo sives .
Potentially explosive
atmospheres
Turn your phone OFF when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere. It is rare, but your phone
or its accessories could generate sparks. Sparks 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 fuelling areas, such as gas stations, below deck on boats,
fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities, and areas
where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as
grain, dust, or metal powders.
Do not transport or store flam mab le gas, liquid, or ex plosives in the compartment of your vehicle which
contains your phone and acce s s ories.
Product care
•Do Not expose product to water or moisture. Ex-
ample: bathtub, laundry sink, wet/damp basement,
swim ming pools, etc.
•Do Not expose product to extreme temperatures
such as found near a hot radiator or stove, or in a
car parked in the sun.
•Do not expose product to extreme cold tempera-
tures such as a car parked outdoors in winter.
•Do Not expose product to lit candles, cigarettes,
cigars, open flames, etc.
•Use only Ericsson Original accessories. Failure
to do so may result in loss of performance, fire,
electric shoc k, or injury, and will void the warranty.
•Do Not attem pt to dis assemb le the product. Doing
so will void warranty. This product do es no t contain consumer serviceable components. Service
should only be performed by Authorized Service
Centres.

About the Charging
Figure 6. Sta ndby display.
Function
When you connect external power to the ph one,
the battery is charged. When the battery is fully
charged, the charging stops. You cannot
overcharge your bat t er y.
When you are charging the battery you can use
your phone as normal; however the char gin g
time will be longer .
About the Battery
and the SIM Card
The Battery
Your phone is supplied with a Nicke l Meta l
Hydride battery. The battery is not charged
before shipment, even though there might be
enough power to turn the phone on.
The SIM Card
Before you can start using your p h one, you
need to order a SIM Card from a GSM service
provider. The SIM Card is a computer circuit
that keeps track of your phone number, the
services that you have ordered from the servic e
provider, and your phone book information.
The SIM Card sometimes contains information
that lets the phone automat i ca lly change the
displa y texts into the language of the SIM Card.
Your SIM Card is supplied with a security c ode
or PIN (Personal Identity Number) that you
need to enter into the phone to gain access to
the phone and network.
Turning On the Phone and General Information
