Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use

Important: Read This Information Before
Using Your Handheld Portable Telephone

Your handheld portable telephone lets you stay
in touch with your office, your home, emergency
services, and many other places while you
travel. For safe and efficient operation of your
phone, observe the guidelines in this manual.

Your telephone is a radio transmitter and
receiver. When it is ON, it receives and sends
out radio frequency (RF) energy. The phone
operates in the frequency ranges of 824 MHz to
894 MHz and 1850 MHz to 1990 MHz,
employing commonly used frequency
modulation (FM) techniques. When you use
your phone, the wireless system handling your
call controls the power level at which your
phone transmits.

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 for handheld
wireless phones. Those guidelines are consistent
with the safety standards previously set by both
U.S. 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 from
universities, government health agencies, and
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 those standards).

*American National Standards Institute; National Council on
Radiation Protection and Measurements; International
Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection

Antenna Care

Use only the supplied antenna or an approved
replacement antenna. Unauthorized antennas,
modifications, or attachments could damage the
phone and may violate FCC regulations.

Phone Operation

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, 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:

• Get to know your wireless phone and its
features such as speed dial and redial.

• When available, use a handsfree device.

• Position your wireless phone within easy

reach.

• Suspend conversations 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 call for help.

• Use your wireless phone to help others in

emergencies.

• Call roadside assistance or a special wireless
non-emergency assistance number when
necessary.

ii

Not for commercial use

Important Safety Information

• Give full attention to driving.

• Pull off the road and park before making or

answering a call if driving conditions so
require.

Electronic Devices

Most modern electronic equipment is shielded
from RF signals. However, certain electronic
equipment may not be shielded against the RF
signals from your wireless phone.

Pacemak ers

The Health Industry Manufacturers Association
recommends that a minimum separation of six
inches (6") be maintained between a handheld
wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid
potential interference with the pacemaker.
These recommendations are consistent with the
independent research by and recommendations
of Wireless Technology Research.

Persons with pacemakers:

• Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than
six inches from their pacemaker when the
phone is turned ON.

• Should not carry the phone in a breast
pocket.

• Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker
to minimize the potential for interference.

• Should turn the phone OFF immediately if
they have any reason to suspect that
interference is taking place.

Hearing Aids

Some digital wireless phones may interfere with
some hearing aids. In the event of such
interference, you may want to consult your
service provider (or call the customer 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 they are 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.

Posted Facilities

Turn your phone OFF in any facility where posted
notices so require.

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.

Potentiall y 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 bodily
injury or even death.

Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are
often, but not always, clearly marked. They
include fueling areas such as gasoline stations;
below 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 engine.

Aircraft

FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while
in the air. Turn your phone OFF before boarding
an aircraft.

V ehic les

RF signals may affect improperly installed or
inadequately shielded electronic systems in motor
vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or its
representative regarding your vehicle. You should
also consult the manufacturer of any equipment
that has been added to your vehicle.

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 injury could result.

Battery Information

New Batteries

The battery packaged with your phone is
not fully charged. To get maximum battery

capacity, you can use a multicharger to
condition the battery. To condition the battery,
you first charge it, and then you fully discharge
it, three times in succession. See Conditioning
a Battery on page 3.

Recycling Your Battery

Your phone manufacturer is a member of the
Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation
(RBRC), a non-profit public service organization
designed to assist in the recycling of
rechargeable NiCd batteries. Many areas
require the recycling of these types of batteries.
In the U.S., call 1-800-822-8837 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, as described above,
before using your phone. If a multicharger was
packaged with your phone, the multicharger
has a battery conditioning function.

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 to low battery power,
charge the battery within 24 hours for the
battery to reach full capacity.

• Do not leave your battery where it could be
subjected to extremely hot or cold
temperatures. This could reduce the battery's
capacity.

• Never let the metal contacts on the battery
touch another metal object. This could short­circuit and damage the battery.

• Do not attempt to take a battery apart.

• Do not expose a battery to open flame. This

could cause the battery 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 electrolytes may be toxic if
swallowed.

Battery Life/Scanning

When your phone cannot locate your home calling
area or anther acceptable coverage provider, it
will display Scanning. This means the phone is
continuously searching for a channel to provide
service. You need to be aware that scanning uses
more battery life than normal operation of your
phone. Your phone’s battery life will be depleted
more quickly than normal if your phone
frequently performs the scanning function.

P is a pause. 33333 is your access code.

Super Dial

The Super Dial feature (when enabled through
the Call Setup menu—see page 24) gives you
“one-touch” dialing for phone numbers stored in
memory locations 1 through 9. See page 14 for
information on storing numbers in memory.

To use Super Dial, press and hold the numeric
key (1 - 9) that corresponds to the memory
location containing the number you want to call.
For example, if you want to call the number
stored in memory location 7, press and hold 7.

Speed Dial

The Speed Dial feature (when enabled through
the Call Setup menu—see page 24) lets you
quickly dial a phone number stored in memory.

When you press S, your phone dials the
number and then stops transmitting tones.
When your voice mail system asks for your
extension, press S to transmit your
extension. After a two second pause, your
access code is automatically transmitted.

If the timing in your voice mail system does not
allow you to use a pause, you can enter a stop
instead of the pause.

You can also store groups of numbers with stops
and pauses, such as the above example, in a
memory location. You can then dial the
numbers by entering the memory location and
pressing S.

Emergency Calls

Your phone was programmed with an
emergency number (911) when it was
manufactured. The programmed emergency
number can be dialed and called at any time, if
there is a 911 system available, regardless of
any call restrictions you have set through the
Locks menu (see page 27). A representative
from your service provider or the retail outlet
where you purchased your phone should be able
to change the emergency number in your phone,
if a 911 system is not available in your service
area.

If police, fire, or medical help is needed, dial 911
or your emergency number and press Y. Tell
the dispatcher that you are calling from a
wireless phone. Wireless 911 calls do not
automatically provide emergency personnel
with your name, location, or phone number.
The dispatcher will want to know the following:

1. Your name and wireless phone number.

2. The nature of the emergency.

3. If police, fire, or medical assistance is needed.

4. The exact location of the emergency
including cross streets, mileposts, or
landmarks.

5. How many people are involved, their

condition, and if help is being administered.

International Calls

If allowed by your system, you can place
international calls with your phone just as you
would from any other phone. If you have

difficulty completing international calls, check
with your system operator for information.

Caller Number Identification

If your system provides Caller ID service, your
phone shows the phone number of an incoming
call in the display. Also, if the number is one
that you have stored in memory with a name,
the name is shown with the phone number
when your phone rings. If the Caller ID
information is not available, the message

Storing and Recalling Numbers

Storing and Recalling Numbers

You can store phone numbers and associated
names in your phone's memory to use for Recall
dialing, Speed Dial, and Super Dial. Each
number you store can be up to 32 digits in
length, and any names you store can be up to 24
characters in length.

Note: The number of phone numbers that your
phone can store (see page 6) is based on each
number containing 12 digits and having an
eight-character name stored with the number.
Storing longer numbers and names reduces the
amount of memory available and the actual
numbers you can store. You can view the
percentage of memory used and available
through the Memory menu (see page 21).

The upper side key functions in the same way
that the up arrow key (ë) functions, and the
lower side key functions in the same way that
the down arrow key (î) functions.

Message Services

Message Services

Your phone can receive two types of message
service—text messages and voice mail—if these
services are available from your service
provider. If you subscribe to either or both
services, callers can leave you text messages or
voice mail. Your service provider then
transmits the text messages and voice mail
notifications to your phone.

T e xt Message Service

Your phone supports three message categories:
Normal, Urgent, and Emergency. The actual
tagging of the text message is dependent on the
system used by your service provider. Your
service provider transmits messages to your
phone. If your phone is ON, it receives the
messages as described below. If your phone is
not turned ON, your service provider retains
the messages and transmits them again later.

NOTE: The KH 618 holds up to five messages.
The KH 668 holds up to ten messages or a
maximum of 2KB of message text. The KF 688
holds over ten messages that can total 2KB of
message text.

When a reviewing text message, the status of a
text message is shown using the following
letters:

R - Read, text message has been read but

•

not saved.

S - Saved, text message has been read

•

and saved.

U - Unread, text message has not been read.

•

Normal Messages

If your phone is turned ON when it receives a
normal text message, your phone sounds a brief
tone and a message similar to the one in this
illustration is shown in
the display. You have a
choice of reading the
message immediately by
pressing S, or reading it later by pressing
E. Pressing E clears the message
received alert from the display and places a
number and icon in the display to remind you of
your messages.

Urgent Messages

If your phone is turned ON when it receives an
urgent text message, your phone sounds a brief
tone and a message
similar to the one in
this illustration is
shown in the display.
As with normal messages, you have a choice of
reading the message immediately or reading it
later. Urgent messages are always shown
before normal messages, regardless of the order
in which they were received.

Emergency Messages

If your phone is turned ON when it receives an
emergency message, your phone sounds two
brief tones, and a
message similar to
the one in this
illustration is shown
in the display for a
few seconds.

Reading Text Messages Immediately

When a message received notice is shown in the
display, you can read the message by pressing
S. You can scroll through the message one
line at a time by pressing and releasing î or ë.
You can scroll up or down through the message
three lines at a time by pressing and holding î
or ë.

Call-Back Messages

Some text messages you receive may be call­back messages. A call-back message contains

one or more phone numbers included by the
person sending the message. If you press S
while reading a call-back message, a screen
similar to the one
shown here appears.
To dial the displayed
number, press S.
(To place a calling
card call to the displayed number, press and
hold S.) If you do not wish to call the
displayed number, press E to resume
reading the actual message.

The up and down arrows in the top right part of
the display indicate that there is more than one

The battery power is low.
When the phone shuts
itself off, replace the
battery with a fully
charged one, or use an
alternate power source,
such as a travel charger.

Your text message memory
is full. Erase some stored
messages before you can
receive more messages.

Problems and Possible Solutions

The phone does not turn ON.

• Recharge or replace the battery.

• If you are using a battery eliminator, make

sure that the battery eliminator is fully
inserted into the vehicle cigarette lighter.
Make sure the vehicle is supplying power to
the cigarette lighter.

The phone is not ringing when a call is received.

• Check the Sounds menu to make sure the
phone is not set for Silent Mode.

The phone becomes warm during long calls.

• This is not a problem. Because of its size,
the phone may feel slightly warm during
extended calls.

The battery does not seem to charge to full
capacity.

• Condition the battery by fully discharging
and charging it three times. Or, if your
phone came with a multicharger, use the
conditioning function on the multicharger to
condition the battery.

Calls are being dropped.

• 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.

The signal strength varies.

• This is a common occurrence. Transmitter
sites are set in geographic areas, and
coverage is not 100% all of the time. Signal
strength varies as you travel between cells.
