Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use

Since its introduction in the mid 1980s, the mobile phone has been 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

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 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 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 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:

• 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.

Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use 1

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 answering a call if

driving conditions so require.

In addition, Ericsson suggests the following safe 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 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.

Electronic Devices

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

• If you have any reason to suspect that interference 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 may want to consult your service provider (or call the customer service line to discuss alternatives).

2 Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use

Other Medical Device s

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 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.

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.

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 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.

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

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: 1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and 2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use 3

Ericsson suggests you read and observe the following for safe care and operation of your phone:

• Do not allow children to play with your phone or its accessories. They could hurt themselves or others, or could accidentally damage the phone or accessory. Your phone or its accessories 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 product. Doing so will void warranty. This product does not contain consumer serviceable components. 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 at the outlet rather than the cord.

• Make sure the electric cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise 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 cleaning.

• DANGER - Never alter the AC cord or plug. If the plug will not fit into the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. Improper connection can result in risk of electric shock.

Battery Information

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 non-profit service organization designed to assist in the recycling of rechargeable batteries. Many areas require the recycling of rechargeable 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

Battery use and care varies slightly depending upon which type of battery your phone is equipped with: Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) or Lithium Ion (LiIon).

Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) Batteries

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. If your phone shuts off

due to 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 cold 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. 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).

• Keep away from children and do not allow the battery to be placed in their mouth. Battery electrolytes may be toxic if swallowed. Avoid battery electrolyte contact with your skin and eyes.

Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) Batteries

Follow these battery use instructions if your phone is equipped with a rechargeable Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) battery pack.

WAR N IN G! This battery may explode and cause potential injury if exposed to or disposed of in a fire.

• Do Not expose the battery to temperatures above 140°F (60°C), such as in a car parked in the sun or on a hot day.

• Do Not short-circuit the battery’s metal contacts with metallic objects, such as keys in your pocket, as it may damage the battery.

• Do Not disassemble the battery.

• Use only Ericsson Original accessory chargers (including handsfree

units that act as a charger) and the AC/DC adapter supplied with your battery charger. Use on a non-Ericsson Original accessory may be hazardous and damage from such use will void your phone warranty.

• Charging the battery at room temperatures below 41°F (5°C) or above 113°F (45°C) may degrade battery performance and could be hazardous.

• Keep away from children and do not allow the battery to be placed in their mouth. Battery electrolytes may be toxic if swallowed. Avoid battery electrolyte contact with your skin and eyes.

• Do Not use a damaged battery or charger.

• Turn off your phone before removing the battery.

When to Charge

Note! For detailed information on safely handling your battery, see “Battery

Information” on page 4.

Your phone comes with a Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) battery. The battery is not charged when you buy your phone, but there may be enough power to switch the phone on. You should fully charge the battery before use. It is safe to make and receive calls while your phone is charging. You should not need to remove your battery after it is installed. Your battery can be charged whenever you wish without affecting its performance. You can also charge the battery when the phone is off.

The battery meter icon on your standby screen indicates how much remaining strength your battery has, .

Tip! If you have an Ericsson-approved battery, you can check the remaining

talk and standby times in the S keys when in standby mode. The total remaining standby and talk time depends on the type of battery you use and your position in the network. Please note that these times are approximate and you may have 20% less time than is shown in the display.

Note! The phone turns itself off when the battery can no longer power it

satisfactorily.
