information carefully for optimal
performance and to prevent any damage
to or misuse of the phone. Any changes
or modifications not expressly approved
in this user’s guide could void your
warranty for this equipment.

For Your Safety
Please read these simple guidelines. Not
For Your Safety
following these guidelines may be dangerous
or illegal. Further detailed information is
given in this manual.
WARNING!
• Mobile Phones must be switched off at all
times in aircrafts.
• Do not hold the phone in your hand while
driving.
• Do not use your phone near petrol stations,
fuel depots, chemical plants or blasting
operations.
• For your safety, use ONLY specified
ORIGINAL batteries and chargers.
• Do not handle the phone with wet hands
while it is being charged. It may cause an
electric shock or seriously damage your
phone.
• Keep the phone in a safe place out of small
children’s reach. It includes small parts which,
if detached, may cause a choking hazard.
6
CAUTION!
• Switch off the phone in any area where
required by special regulations. For example,
do not use your phone in hospitals or it may
affect sensitive medical equipment.
• Emergency calls may not be available under
all mobile networks. Therefore, you should
never depend solely on your mobile phone for
emergency calls.
• Only use ORIGINAL accessories to avoid
damage to your phone.
• All radio transmitters carry risks of
interference with electronics in close proximity.
Minor interference may affect TVs, radios,
PCs, etc.
• Batteries should be disposed of in accordance
with relevant legislation.
• Do not dismantle the phone or battery.
Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use
Please read these simple guidelines. Not
following these guidelines may be dangerous
or illegal. Further detailed information is
given in this manual.
Certification information
(SAR)
THIS DEVICE MEETS INTERNATIONAL
GUIDELINES FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO
WAVES
Your mobile device is a radio transmitter and
receiver. It is designed and manufactured not
to exceed the limits for exposure to radio
frequency (RF) recommended by international
guidelines (ICNIRP). These limits are part of
comprehensive guidelines and establish
permitted levels of RF energy for the general
population. The guidelines were developed by
independent scientific organisations through
periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific
studies. The guidelines include a substantial
safety margin designed to assure the safety of
all persons, regardless of age and health.
The exposure standard for mobile devices
employs a unit of measurement known as the
Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR
limit stated in the international guidelines is
2.0 W/kg*. Tests for SAR are conducted using
standard operating positions with the device
transmitting at its highest certified power level
in all tested frequency bands. Although the
SAR is determined at the highest certified
power level, the actual SAR of the device while
operating can be well below the maximum
value. This is because the device is designed to
operate at multiple power levels so as to use
only the power required to reach the network.
In general, the closer you are to a base station,
the lower the power output of the device.
Before a phone model is available for sale to
the public, compliance with the European
R&TTE directive must be shown. This directive
includes as one essential requirement the
protection of the health and the safety for the
user and any other person. The highest SAR
value for this device when tested for use at the
ear is 0.756 W/kg.
Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use
7
Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use
This device meets RF exposure guidelines when
Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use
used either in the normal use position against
the ear or when positioned at least 1.5 cm
away from the body. When a carry case, belt
clip or holder is used for body-worn operation,
it should not contain metal and should
position the product at least 1.5 cm away from
your body. In order to transmit data files or
messages, this device requires a quality
connection to the network. In some cases,
transmission of data files or messages may be
delayed until such a connection is available.
Ensure the above separation distance
instructions are followed until the transmission
is completed. The highest SAR value for this
device when tested for use at the body is
0.327 W/kg.
* The SAR limit for mobile devices used by the
public is 2.0 watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged
over ten grams of body tissue. The guidelines
incorporate a substantial margin of safety to
give additional protection for the public and to
account for any variations in measurements.
SAR values may vary depending on national
reporting requirements and the network band.

For SAR information in other regions please

Driver Safety Tips
Your wireless telephone gives you the
powerful ability to communicate by
voice - almost anywhere, anytime. But an
important responsibility accompanies the
benefits of wireless phones, one that
every user must uphold.
When driving a car, driving is your first
responsibility. When using your wireless
phone behind the wheel of a car, practice
good common sense and remember the
following tips:
] Use a hands free device. If possible, add an
additional layer of convenience and safety
to your wireless phone with one of the
many hands free accessories available today.
] Let the person you are speaking with know
you are driving; if necessary, suspend the
call in heavy traffic or hazardous weather
conditions. Rain, sleet, snow, ice and even
heavy traffic can be hazardous.
] Do not take notes or look up phone
numbers while driving. Jotting down a “to
do” list or flipping through your address
book takes attention away from your
primary responsibility, driving safely.
] If possible, place calls when you are not
moving or before pulling into traffic. Try to
plan calls when you will not be driving.
] Do not engage in stressful or emotional
conversations that may be distracting. Make
people you are talking with aware you are
driving and suspend conversations that have
the potential to divert your attention from
the road.
12
] Use your wireless phone to call emergency
services for yourself or others. Dial 0-0-0
local emergency number in the case of fire,
traffic accident or medical emergencies.
Remember, it is a free call on your wireless
phone! Dial 1-1-2 internationally for
emergency services.
] Use your wireless phone to help others in
emergencies, if you see an auto accident
crime in progress or other serious
emergency where lives are in danger, call 00-0 to call emergency number, as you would
want others to do for you.
] Call roadside assistance or a special non-
emergency wireless assistance number when
necessary. If you see a broken down vehicle
posing no serious hazard, a broken traffic
signal, a minor traffic accident where no one
appears injured, or a vehicle you know to be
stolen, call roadside assistance or other
special nonemergency wireless number.

Turning your handset off
Press and hold until the power goes off.
There may be a few seconds delay while the
handset powers down.
Do not turn the handset on again during this
time.
Access codes
You can use the access codes described in
this section to avoid unauthorised use of
your phone. The access codes (except the
PUK and PUK2 codes) can be changed by
using the Change codes feature [Menu
#.1.5.3].
PIN code (4 to 8 digits)
The PIN (Personal Identification Number)
code protects your USIM card against
unauthorised use. The PIN code is usually
supplied with the USIM card. When the PIN
code request is set to On, your phone will
request the PIN code every time it is
switched on. When the PIN code request is
set to Off, your phone connects to the
network directly without the PIN code.
PIN2 code (4 to 8 digits)
The PIN2 code, supplied with some USIM
cards, is required to access functions such as
Fixed dial number. These functions are only
available if supported by your USIM card.
Getting Started
21
Getting Started
PUK code (4 to 8 digits)
Getting Started
The PUK (PIN Unblocking Key) code is
required to unblock a blocked PIN code. The
PUK code may be supplied with the USIM
card. If not, contact your network operator’s
customer service department for the code. If
you lose the code, contact your network
operator’s customer service department.
PUK2 code (4 to 8 digits)
The PUK2 code, supplied with some USIM
cards, is required to unblock a blocked PIN2
code. If you lose the code, contact your
network operator’s customer service
department.
Security code (4 to 8
digits)
The security code prevents unauthorised use
of your phone. The default security code is
set to ‘0000’ and the security code is
required to delete all phone entries and to
restore the handset to the factory settings.
