Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use
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
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
Antenna Care

Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use 3
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.
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 answer-
ing 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 conversa-
tions that may be distracting.
• Use your wireless phone to call for help.
• Use your wireless phone to help others in emergen-
Not for commercial use – Ericsson Inc.
4 Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use
cies.
Electronic Devices
• Call roadside assistance or a special wireless non-
emergency assistance number when necessary.
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 mini-
mize 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).
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 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.
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.
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.

Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use 5
Product Care and Operation
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.
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 recom-
mended. 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 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.
• Don’t continue to twist the antenna after it has
been inserted. Excess twisting will damage the
antenna.
• Be cautious if removing your antenna. A detached
antenna may be a choking hazard for children.
How to use your phone for optimum performance with
minimum power consumption:
• Hold the phone as you would any other telephone.
While speaking directly into the mouthpiece, angle
the antenna in a direction up and over your shoulder. If the antenna is extendable/retractable, 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 shortens talk and standby times.

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 nonprofit service organization designed to assist in the recycling 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.
• 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).
• Do not allow the battery to be placed into the
mouth. Battery electrolytes may be toxic if swallowed.
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 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 sub-
jected to extremely hot or cold temperatures. This

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 an emergency system available, regardless of
any call restrictions you have set through the CALL
MANAGER menu.
Note! The Keypad L ock feature prohibits emergency number
access (911) until unlocked.
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
that you are calling from a mobile phone. Mobile 911
calls do not automatically provide emergency personnel
with your name, location, or phone number. The dispatcher will want to know the following:
Your name and mobile phone number.

YES. Tell the dispatcher
If police, fire, or medical assistance is needed.

if help is being administered.
International Calls
If allowed by your service provider, 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 service provider for information.
Caller Number Identification
If your service provider has Caller Number Identification (Caller ID) service, your phone shows the phone
number of an incoming call in the display. Also, if the
phone number is one that you have stored in your
phonebook 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 NO ID is
shown in the display. The word Private may be
shown if the Caller ID is restricted by the service provider.
Low Battery Power Alert
The low battery alert sounds when your battery is reaching its lowest operational power level. The words Low
Battery flash in the display, and the indicator light on
top of your phone flashes red. When this happens, leave
your phone turned on. The phone discharges the battery
and then automatically turns off. You should charge the
battery within 24 hours after a complete discharge so
that the battery can charge to full capacity.
Security Code
Your phone has a security code that you must enter to
gain access to certain functions, such as call restrictions
and calling card numbers. The factory-programmed
code is 0000. You can change this code to provide maximum security for your phone. See the section on your
security code in the “Menu Descriptions” chapter. If you
forget your security code, contact your service provider
for assistance.

Message Services
Text messages and voice mail are the two types of message services your Ericsson mobile phone can support.
The message services are provided by your service provider and subject to availability.
Text Message Service
Your phone can store a maximum of 2KB of message
text in its memory. The messages can be classified by the
sender using one of the following message types: Normal, Urgent, and Emergency. A text message can also
contain one or more callback numbers - phone numbers
specified by the person leaving the message.
The message category assignment and the callback number capability are dependent on the system used by your
service provider.
After a sender leaves a message with your service provider, the service provider transmits the message to your
phone. If your phone is On, it receives the message. If
your phone is Off, your service provider retains the message and transmits it again later.
When a message is received, your phone lets you skip,
review, save, or delete a text message.
Emergency Text Messages
If your phone is turned On when it receives an emergency message, your phone sounds two brief tones, and
a message appears in the display for a few seconds
prompting you to read the emergency message.
Emergency messages are always shown before urgent and
normal messages, regardless of the order in which the
messages were received.
Urgent Text Messages
If your phone is turned On when it receives an urgent
text message, your phone sounds a brief tone, and a message appears in the display.
Normal Text Messages
If your phone is turned On when it receives a normal
text message, your phone sounds a brief tone, and a message appears in the display.

Data, Fax, and Internet Calls
Your Ericsson mobile phone contains a modem similar
to the modems you use to connect your computer to
your home or office telephone service. Rather than connecting to standard telephone lines, however, the
modem in your mobile phone allows you to connect
your computer to the mobile telephone system. In
places where mobile network operators provide the necessary support, you can use your mobile phone to send
or receive faxes, upload or download data files, or access
the Internet. This chapter will assist you with setting up
your computer and phone to handle data, fax, and Internet calls on the mobile network.
Note! If digital data/fax/Internet service is not available, you
can purchase an analog modem card that is compatible
with your Ericsson mobile phone and use data/fax functions on the available analog system.
Data Calls
Data calls are placed to exchange computer files between
two computers. While the data connection is in place,
files can be transferred between the connected computers, according to the capabilities of the software in use.
When a data call is made, the connection will remain in
place until it is closed by one of the computers involved.
To make or receive data calls with your Ericsson mobile
phone, you must have a properly configured communications program running on your computer.
Fax Calls
Fax calls are placed to send fax messages. When a fax
message has been sent, your fax software or the originating fax machine will terminate the call. To make or
receive fax calls with your Ericsson mobile phone, you
must have a properly configured fax program running
on your computer.
Differences Between Data, Fax, and Internet Calls
Your Ericsson mobile phone can handle data, fax, and
Internet calls, but each type of call requires corresponding software that must be running on your computer.
Internet Calls
Internet calls are placed to Internet Service Providers
(ISP) when you want to use e-mail or access websites on
the World Wide Web. To make Internet calls, you must
have an account with an ISP and a properly configured
Internet access program (browser) running on your
computer. When your software is installed and set up to
dial your ISP, calls can be made using the normal dialing

procedure. Once a connection to your ISP is established,
it will remain in place until you disconnect or until it is
automatically disconnected due to the degradation of
signal quality or due to inactivity.
Note! Throughout this chapter, references to data/fax/internet
will be referred to as simply data.
Before You Start
Before setting up your phone for data operation, do the
following:
• Make sure that you have the required hardware and
Note! You must have an Ericsson DA 18 Phone Book Manager
Accessory Kit, which includes a serial interface cable, to

digital data services in your planned usage area. If
digital data service is not available, you can purchase an analog modem card that is compatible
with your Ericsson mobile phone and use data
functions on the available analog system.
Note! The availability of digital mobile voice service does not
necessarily imply that your mobile service operator supports digital data operation.
To operate properly with the modem in your Ericsson
mobile phone, make sure that your computer has the
following hardware and software:
• A functional serial port
• An operating system that supports data access soft-
ware, such as Windows 95 or Windows 98
• Appropriate fax (class 2.0), Internet access, or file
transfer software
Note! Class “2.0” is different from Class “2”.
Successful first-time setup of your phone and computer
for data operation involves the following steps:

Your Ericsson mobile phone enables you to initiate voice
calls from Windows applications when connected to the
Ericsson Voice Call Dialer. This is particularly useful if
you have contact cards with phone numbers in a contact
management application. You can open a contact card,
click on the phone icon, and originate a call using your
Ericsson mobile phone. Then you simply pick up your
mobile phone and continue the call. The Ericsson Voice
Call Dialer is compatible with most contact manager
software packages. Refer to the “Manual Installation of
Your Modem Driver” or “Voice Call Dialer” section at
the end of this chapter for help with installing this driver
for some operating systems.
Disconnect your Ericsson mobile phone from your computer by disconnecting the cable from your phone and
the serial port from your computer. When your fax program is stopped or when your interface cable is disconnected, your phone will exit Data/Fax profile and return
to the previously selected profile.

Signal Strength
It is important to maintain a good signal path between
the phone and the mobile telephone system when making data calls. Signals will generally be stronger when the
phone is in an upright position. If you are indoors, your
Not for commercial use – Ericsson Inc.
Data, Fax, and Internet Calls 61
signal will generally be stronger when the phone is near a
window.
In a Vehicle
It is possible to receive data calls from your vehicle.
Operation from a moving vehicle may not be satisfactory because data may be lost when your call is transferred from one mobile base station to another. Be sure
to give full attention to driving and pull off the road and
park before making or receiving calls, if driving conditions so require.
Transmission Disturbances
Brief interruptions of mobile telephone signals that
would not be bothersome during a voice call may cause
problems during data operation, depending upon the
error correction capabilities of the software being used.
Such interruptions are uncommon during stationary
operation, but can be caused by vehicles or people passing nearby, especially in areas of low signal strength. You
can use the signal strength indicator on your phone to
verify that you have a good signal path.

Problems You Can Solve
Displayed Messages and Explanations Problems and Possible Solutions
The phone does not turn On.
1
The signal is too weak to make a call. Try again
when the signal strength is one bar or stronger.
Your phone is searching for a mobile service provider.
You called a number for which you have set call
restrictions.
You entered an incorrect security code. Enter the
correct security code.
The battery power is low. The indicator light will
flash red. 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 to free up memory for new messages.
Not for commercial use – Ericsson Inc.
Problems You Can Solve 67
Charge or replace the battery.
The phone is not ringing when a call is received.
2
Check the SOUNDS menu to make sure the phone
is not set for Phone Silent. If your phone is not set
for Phone Silent, check Call Screening to make
sure that Call Screening has not been selected for a
particular Phone Group.
The phone becomes warm during long calls.
3
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 capac-
4
ity.
Condition the battery by fully discharging and
charging it three times. Or, if your phone came with
a desktop charger, use the conditioning function on
the desktop charger to condition the battery.
Calls are being dropped.
5
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.
6
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.
