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
