Guidelines fo r Safe an d Ef ficient U se

Important: Read this information before using your portable phone.

General

Since its introduction in the mid 198 0s the port-

able phone is one of the most exci tin g and inno-

vative products ever develope d. With it, you

can stay in contact wi th your office, your home,

emergency services, and others.

Your telep hone is a radio transmitter and re-

ceiver. When it is ON it receive s and also se nds

out radio frequency (RF) energy. Depending

upon the type of mobile ph one you have pur-

chased, it operates in different freq uen cy ranges

and emplo ys commonly used modulation tech-

niques. Whe n you use your phone , the syste m

handling your call controls the power level at

which your phone tra nsmi ts.

For the safe and efficient

operation of your phone,

observe t hese guidelines

Exposure to radio frequency

energy

The International Commission on Non-Ionizing

Radiati on Prot ecti on (ICN IRP), sp onsor ed b y

the World Healt h Organ izat i on (WHO ) , publ ish-

ed a statement in 1996 which sets limits for ex-

posure to RF fields from handhe l d m obile

phone. Acc ording to this statement , which is

based on the available body of research, there is

no evidence that mobile terminals meeting the

recommended limits can cause any adverse

health effects. All Erics son telephones confor m

to the ICNIRP recommendations, and interna-

tional exposure standards , s uch as:

CENELEC European Pre-standard

ENV50166-2

ANSI/IEEE C95. 1-199 2 (USA, Asia- Pacific)

If you want to limit RF exposure even further,

you may choose to con trol th e durat ion of your

calls and oper at e your phone in the most power

efficient manner.

Efficient phone operation

How to use your phone for optimum perform-

ance with minimum power consumption:

Hold the phone as you w ould any ot her tel e-

phone. While speaking directly into t he mouth-

piece, angle the a ntenn a in a dire cti on up and

over your shoulder. If the an tenna is exte nda bl e,

it should be extended during a call.

Do not hold the antenna when the phone is 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 care and replacement

Do not use the phone with a damaged an tenna .

Replace a damaged antenna imm ediately. Con-

sult your manual to s ee if you m ay change the

antenna yourself. If so, use only an Ericsson ap-

proved antenna. Otherwise, take your phone to

a qualified s er vice cen tre f or repa ir.

Use only the designated Ericsson antenna. Un-

authorized antenna s, m odificat ions , or attac h-

ments could damage the phone and may viol ate

the appropria te re gulat i ons .

Do not use an antenna designed for any other

type of portable telephone than the telephone

you have purchased.

Driving

Check the laws and regulations on the use of

telephone s in the areas where you drive. Al w a ys

obey them. A lso, when using your phone wh ile

driving, please:

Give full attention to dri vi ng.

Use hands-free oper ati on, i f avai lable.

Pull off the road and park before making or an-

swering a call if driving conditions so require.

ii EN/LZT 126 1353 R1A

RF energy ma y a f fect some electronic systems

in motor vehicles. In addition, some vehicle

manufacturers forbid the use of mobile phones

in their vehicles. Che ck wit h your vehicl e man u-

facturer’s representative to be sure your phone

will not affect the electr onic sys tems of your ve-

hicle.

Electronic devices

Most modern elect r onic equ ipment , for exam -

ple, equipment in hospitals and cars, is shielded

from RF energy. Howe ver, RF ene rgy from tele-

phones may affect some electronic equipment.

Turn your phone OFF in health care facilities

when regulation s posted in the are as instruct

you to do so. Always request permiss ion before

using your phone near medical equ ip ment.

Mobile telephones may affect the operation of

some implan te d card iac pa ce mak er s, equ ipment

for people with hearing impairments and other

medically implanted equipment. Pa cemaker pa-

tients should be aware that the use of a mobile

phone very clos e t o a pa cemaker may cause th e

device to malfunction. Avoid placing the phone

over the pacemaker, i.e. in your breast pocket.

When using the phone, place it at your ear oppo-

site the pacemaker. If a distance of 15cm. is

kept between the phone and the pacemaker, the

risk of interference i s limit e d. Contact your car -

diologist for more in f ormat ion.

Aircraft

Turn your phone OFF bef ore boarding an y air-

craft.

Use it on the ground only wi t h crew pe rmi ss io n

Turn off your phone before the aircra ft lea ves

the ground. Do not use it in the air.

To prevent possibl e interference wit h ai rcraft

systems, safety r egula tions r equ ire you to ha ve

permission from a crew member to use your

phone while the plane is on the ground. To pre-

vent interference wi t h communicat ion s yste ms,

you must not use your ph one whil e the pla ne is

in the air.

Power Supply

Connect AC (P ower suppl y) only to designated

power sources as marked on the product.

To reduce risk of damage to electr ic cord, re-

move from outlet by holding onto AC adapter

rather than cord .

Make sure the cord is located so that it will not

be stepped on, tripped over or otherwise sub-

jected to damage or stress.

To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug unit

from power source before attempting any clean-

ing, then use soft cloth dampened on with water.

Children

Do not allow children to pla y wit h your phone.

It is not a toy. Children could hurt themselves

or others (by poking themsel ves or others in the

eye with the antenna for example). Chil dren

could also damage the phone or make calls that

increase your telephone bills.

Blasting areas

To avoid in te rfering with blast ing operations,

turn your unit OFF when in a “blasting area” or

in areas posted “turn off two-way radio”. Con-

struction crews often use remote control RF de-

vices to set off explosives .

Potentially explosive atmospheres

Turn your phone OFF when in any area with a

potentia ll y explosive atmosphere. It is rar e, but

your phone or its accessories could generate

sparks. Sparks in such areas could cause an ex-

plosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even

death.

Areas with a potential ly exp losi ve atm osphere

are ofte n, but not always, clearly marked. They

include fuelling a reas , such as petrol s tat ions,

below deck on boats, fuel or chemical transfer

or storage facilities, an d areas where the air c on-

tains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust,

or metal powd ers.

Do not transport or store flammable gas, liquid,

or explosives in the compartment of your vehi-

cle which contains your ph one and acces s ories .

Product care

Do Not expose product to water or moisture.

EN/LZT 126 1353 R1A iii

Example: bathtub, l aun d r y sink, wet/damp bas e-

ment, swimming pools, etc.

Do Not expose product to extre me t empe ra -

tures such as fou nd near a hot radiator or st ove,

or in a car parked in the sun.

Do not expose product to extreme cold tem-

peratures such as a car parked outdoors in win-

ter.

Do Not expose product to lit candles, ciga-

rettes, cigars, open flames, etc.

Use only Ericsson Original accessories. Fail-

ure to do so ma y result in loss of perf ormance,

fire, electric shock, or injury, and will void the

warranty.

Do Not attempt t o di sa ss emble the product. D o-

ing so will voi d warranty. This product does

not contain consumer ser vicea ble components.

Service should only be performed by Author-

ized Service Centres.

This chapter describes h o w you assemble the phone, what the SIM Card is, and how

you handle the battery.

To insert the SIM card

When you become a subscriber of a network op-

erator, you obta i n a S IM card with a pers onal se-

curity code, the PI N code. The SIM card

contains a computer chip that keeps track of

your phone numbe r, the se rvices that you have

ordered from your netw ork opera t or, and your

phone book information.

Before you can use the phone, you must insert

the SIM card into the phone.

1. Release the card holder by sliding it from you.

2. Unfold the holder.

3. Slide the mini SIM card into the holder.

Make certain that the angled corner is top

right.
