For Your Safety
Important Information
This user guide contains important information on the
use and operation of this phone. Please read all the
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 guide could void your warranty for this
equipment.
Before You Start
Safety Instructions
WARNING! To reduce the possibility of electric shock,
do not expose your phone to high humidity areas, such
as the bathroom, swimming pool, etc.
Always store your phone away from heat. Never store
your phone in settings that may expose it to
temperatures less than 32°F or greater than 104°F,
such as outside during extreme weather conditions or
in your car on a hot day. Exposure to excessive cold or
heat will result in malfunction, damage and/or
catastrophic failure.
Be careful when using your phone near other
electronic devices. RF emissions from your mobile
phone may affect nearby inadequately shielded
electronic equipment. You should consult with
manufacturers of any personal medical devices such
as pacemakers and hearing aides to determine if they
are susceptible to interference from your mobile
phone. Turn off your phone in a medical facility or at a
gas station. Never place your phone in a microwave
oven as this will cause the battery to explode.
IMPORTANT! Please read the TIA SAFETY
INFORMATION on page 72 before using your phone.
Safety Information
Please read and observe the following information for
the safe and proper use of your phone and to prevent
any unanticipated damage. Also, keep the user’s manual
in an accessible place at all times after reading it.
] Unplug the power cord and charger during a
lightning storm to avoid electric shock or fire.
] Do not use your phone in high explosive areas as
the phone may generate sparks.
9
For Your Safety
] Do not put your phone in a place subject to
excessive dust, and keep the minimum required
distance between the power cord and heat sources.
] Do not damage the power cord by bending, twisting,
pulling, or subjecting it to heat. Do not use the plug if
it is loose as it may cause fire or electric shock.
] Hold the power cord plug firmly to plug and unplug
the power cord. Ensure the plug is firmly connected.
If it is not firmly connected, it may cause excessive
heat or fire.
] Do not place a heavy item on the power cord. Do not
allow the power cord to be crimped as it may cause
fire or electric shock.
] Be careful not to let the battery contact metal
conductors such as a necklace or coins. When
shorted, it may cause an explosion.
] Do not disassemble or impact the battery as it may
cause electric shock, short-circuit, and fire. Store
the battery in a place out of reach of children.
] Using a damaged battery or placing a battery in your
mouth may cause serious injury.
] Charging is displayed on the screen after the travel
adapter is connected. Only if the battery is totally
empty, it takes long time to display “Charging.”
] Do not place items containing magnetic
components such as a credit card, phone card or a
subway ticket, near your phone. The magnetic strip
can be damaged by the phone.
] Do not hold or let the antenna come in contact with
your body during a call.
] Talking on your phone for a long period of time may
reduce the call quality due to heat generated during
the use of the phone.
] Do not allow excessive vibration or impact to the
phone.
] When you do not plan to use the phone for a long
period of time, store it in a safe area with the power
cord unplugged.

For Your Safety
FCC RF Exposure Information
WARNING! Read this information before operating the
phone.
In August 1996, the Federal Communications (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.
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 skin, a
minor burn may result. Contact your local dealer for a
replacement antenna.
Body-worn Operation
This device was tested for typical body-worn
operations with the back of the phone kept 15mm
between the use's body and the back of the phone.
To comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, a
minimum separation distance of 15mm must be
maintained between the user’s body and the back of
the phone. Third-party belt-clips, holsters, and similar
accessories containing metallic components should
not be used. Body-worn accessories that cannot
maintain 1.5 cm separation distance between
the user’s body and the back of the phone, and have
not been tested for typical body-worn operations may
not comply with FCC RF exposure limits and should be
avoided.
Vehicle Mounted External Antenna (optional, if
available)
A minimum separation 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
