Important Information

This user’s guide provides important information on the use and operation of your phone. Please read all the information carefully prior to using the phone for the best performance and to prevent any damage to or misuse of the phone. Any unapproved changes or modifications will void your warranty.

FCC Part 15 Class B Compliance

This device and its accessories comply with part 15 of FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device and its accessories may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device and its accessories must accept any interference received, including interference that causes undesired operation.

Technical Details

The BX4170 is an all digital phone that operates on both Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) frequencies: cellular services at 800 MHz and Personal Communication Services (PCS) at 1.9 Ghz. Also, the BX4170 works on Advanced Mobile Phone Service (AMPS). We call it a tri-mode phone. Since the phone operates on Cellular, PCS and AMPS, the call fail rate is less than on a conventional dual-mode or singlemode phone.

CDMA technology uses a feature called DSSS (Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum) that enables the phone to keep communication from being crossed and to use one frequency channel by multiple users in the same specific area. This results in a 10-fold capacity increase when compared with analog mode. In addition, features such as soft / softer handoff, hard Handoff, and dynamic RF power control technologies combine to reduce call interruptions.

FCC RF Exposure Information

WARNING! Read this information before operating the phone.

In August 1996, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the United States, with its action in Report and Order FCC 96-326, adopted an updated safety standard for human exposure to radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC regulated transmitters. Those guidelines are consistent with the safety standard previously set by both U.S. and international standards bodies.

The design of this phone complies with the FCC guidelines and these international standards.

Bodily Contact During Operation

This device was tested for typical use with the back of the phone kept 3/4 inches (1.5 cm) from the body. To comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, a minimum separation distance of 3/4 inches (1.5 cm) must be maintained between the user’s body and the back of the phone, including the antenna, whether extended or retracted. Third-party belt-clips, holsters, and similar accessories containing metallic components should not be used. Avoid the use of accessories that cannot maintain 3/4

inches (1.5 cm) distance between the user’s body and the back of the phone and have not been tested for compliance with FCC

RF exposure limits.

*BX4170-(Eng).QXD 04/4/30 7:28 PM Page 11

Vehicle-Mounted External Antenna

(Optional, if available.)

A minimum distance of 8 inches (20 cm) must be maintained between the user / bystander and the vehicle-mounted external antenna to satisfy FCC RF exposure requirements. For more information about RF exposure, visit the FCC website at www.fcc.gov.

Caution

Use only the supplied and approved antenna. Use of unauthorized antennas or modifications could impair call quality, damage the phone, void your warranty and/or result in violation of FCC regulations.

Do not use the phone with a damaged antenna. If a damaged antenna comes into contact with the skin a minor burn may result. Contact your local dealer for a replacement of antenna.

Getting Your Phone Started

The Battery

NOTE: It is important to fully charge the battery before initial use of the phone.

The phone comes with a rechargeable battery. Keep the battery charged while not in use in order to maximize talk and standby time. The battery charge level is shown at the top of the LCD screen.

Installing the Battery

To install the battery, insert the battery into the opening on the back of the phone. Put the battery cover on the battery and push it slightly upwards.

Removing the Battery

Turn the power off. While pressing the PUSH button on the back of the phone, pull the battery cover downwards and remove it. Then remove the battery by pressing the upper area of it.

Charging the Battery

The desktop charger has a charging slot that accommodates the phone with the battery attached or the battery by itself.

Warning! Use only the desktop charger provided with the phone. Using any (desktop) charger other than the one included with the BX4170 may damage your phone or battery.

1.Plug the charger into a wall outlet. The phone must be charged from a 120V AC power source.

2.Insert the phone with an installed battery, or the battery by itself, into the charging slot. The red light indicates the battery is charging and the green light indicates the battery is fully charged. The charge time varies depending upon the battery level. The maximum charge time for a fully discharged battery is 3 hours.

Battery Charge Level

The battery charge level is shown at the top right of the LCD screen. When the battery charge level becomes low, the low battery sensor alerts you in three ways: sounding an audible tone, blinking the battery icon, and displaying LOW BATTERY WARNING! If the battery charge level becomes exceedingly low, the phone automatically switches off and any function in progress is not saved.

Fully Charged

Fully Discharged

Turning the Phone On and Off

Turning the Phone On

1.Install a charged battery or connect the phone to an external power source such as a cigarette lighter charger or hands-free car kit.

2.Press for a few seconds until the LCD screen lights up.

NOTE: Like any other radio device, avoid any unnecessary contact with the antenna while your phone is on.

Turning the Phone Off

1.Press and hold until the display turns off.

Signal Strength

Call quality depends on the signal strength in your area. The signal strength is indicated on the screen as the number of bars next to the signal strength icon: The more bars, the better the signal strength. If the signal quality is poor, move to an open area. If you are in a building, the reception may be better near a window.
