Introduction
INTRODUCTION
T
hank you for purchasing the M342i (GSM, DCS) mobile telephone. The mobile telephone
described in this guide is approved for use on all GSM 900/1800 networks. Some of the
messages displayed on your mobile may be different according to your subscription type and/
or service provider.
As with all types of radio transceivers, this mobile telephone emits electromagnetic waves
and complies with international regulations when it is used under normal conditions and in
accordance with the safety and warning messages given below.
SAR
THIS M342i PHONE MEETS THE EU REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO
WAVES.
Before a mobile phone is available for sale to the public, compliance with the European R&TTE
directive
(1999/5/EC
protection of the health and the safety for the user and any other person.
Your mobile phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to
exceed the limits for exposure to radiofrequency (RF) energy recommended by The Council of
the European Union1. 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 limits
include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of
age and health.
The exposure standard for mobile phones (CENELEC standard EN 50360: 2001) employs a unit
of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit2 recommended
by The Council of the European Union is 2.0 W/kg. Tests for SAR have been conducted using
standard operating positions (with reference to CENELEC standard EN 50361: 2001) with the
phone transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands3. Although
the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the phone
while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the phone 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 antenna, the lower the power output.
The highest SAR value for this M342i model when tested for compliance against the standard
was X,XXXW/kg. While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones
and at various positions, they all meet the EU requirements for RF exposure.
Additional information from the World Health Organization (WHO)
Individuals: Present scientific information does not indicate the need for any special precautions for use of mobile phones. If individuals are concerned, they might choose to limit their own
or their children’s’ RF exposure by limiting the length of calls, or using "hands-free" devices to
keep mobile phones away from the head and body.
RF absorbing devices: Scientific evidence does not indicate any need for RF-absorbing
covers or other "absorbing devices" on mobile phones. They cannot be justified on health
grounds and the effectiveness of many such devices in reducing RF exposure is unproven.

) must be shown. This directive includes as one essential requirement the
1. European recommendation 1999/519/EC
2. The SAR limit for mobile phones used by the public is 2.0 watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged over ten
grams of tissue. The limit incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give additional protection
for the public and to account for any variations in measurements.
3. The maximum level of GSM emitted power is 250mW at 900 MHz and 125 mW at 1800MHz
according to the GSM standard.

General safety
Due to the possibility of radio frequency interference, it is important to follow special regulations regarding the use of radio equipment.
Please follow the safety advice given below.
Switch off your phone and remove the battery when in an aircraft. The use of mobile
telephones in an aircraft may endanger the operation of the aircraft, disrupt the mobile
phone network and is illegal.
Switch off your phone when at any refuelling point or near inflammable material.
Switch off your phone in hospitals and any other place where medical equipment may
be in use.
Respect restrictions on the use of radio equipment in fuel depots, chemical plants or
where blasting operations are in progress.
There may be a hazard associated with the operation of phones close to inadequately
protected personal medical devices such as hearing aids and pacemakers. Consult
your doctor or the manufacturers of the medical device in question to determine
whether it is adequately protected.
Operation of your phone close to other electronic equipment may also cause
interference if the equipment is inadequately protected. Observe any warning signs
and manufacturers recommendations.
Respect national regulations on the use of mobile telephones in vehicles.
Road safety always comes first! Always give your full attention to driving.
- Do not use a hand-held phone while driving. If you do not have a 'hands free' car kit, stop
and park your vehicle safely before using your phone. Please ensure that you are fully aware
of the laws in your country regarding the use of hand-held mobile devices whilst driving.
- If incorrectly installed in a vehicle the operation of mobile telephones can interfere with the
correct operation of the vehicle electronics, such as ABS anti-lock brakes or air bags. To
avoid such problems ensure that only qualified personnel carry out the installation.
- Do not place the phone on the passenger seat or where it could fall during sudden braking
or a collision. Always use the holder.

Introduction
Emergency calls
You can make emergency calls by dialling the European standard emergency number 112
even if there is no SIM card in your phone. Emergency calls can even be made if the phone
is PIN or electronically locked or call barred. In some countries local emergency numbers can
still be used for emergency purposes but the phone may have to contain a valid SIM card.
When making an emergency call remember to give all the necessary information as accurately
as possible. As phone may be the only means of communication at the scene of an emergency,
do not cut off the call until told to do so.
Mobile phones rely on wireless and landline networks which cannot be guaranteed in all conditions. You
should therefore never rely solely on wireless phones for essential emergency communications.
Care and maintenance
This mobile telephone is the product of advanced engineering, design and craftsmanship and
should be treated with care. The suggestions below will help you to enjoy this product for
many years.
- Do not expose your phone to any extreme environment where the temperature or humidity is high.
- Do not expose or store your mobile in cold temperatures. When the phone warms up after switch
on, to its normal temperature, moisture may form inside and damage the electrical parts.
- Do not attempt to disassemble the phone. There are no user serviceable parts inside.
- Do not expose your phone to water, rain or spilt beverages. It is not waterproof.
- Do not drop, knock or violently shake your phone. Rough handling may damage it.
- Do not clean your phone with strong chemicals or solvents. Wipe it only with a soft, slightly
dampened cloth.
- Do not place the telephone alongside computer discs, credit or travel cards or other magnetic
media. The information contained on discs or cards may be affected by the phone.
- Do not connect incompatible products. The use of third party equipment or accessories, not
made or authorised by Mitsubishi Electric, invalidates the warranty of your phone and may
be a safety risk.
- Do not remove the labels. The numbers on it are important for aftersales service and other
related purposes.
- Do contact an authorised service centre in case of problem.
AC/DC adaptor charger
This mobile phone was designed to be used only with the supplied AC/DC charger. Use of
any other charger or adaptor invalidates any approval given to this apparatus and may be
dangerous.
Battery use
Batteries may be charged hundreds of times but gradually wear out. When the operating time
(stand-by and talk time) is noticeably shorter than normal, it is time to buy a new battery.
If the battery is totally empty the battery level symbol may not be displayed at once when connecting the battery charger. Moreover the mobile cannot be turned on. Up to 15 minutes may
be necessary to reach the required 4% battery charge to turn your mobile on and allow the
battery charge symbol to be displayed.
- Do not leave batteries connected to a charger longer than necessary. Overcharging shortens
battery life.
- Disconnect battery chargers from the power source when not in use.
- Do not expose batteries to high temperatures or humidity.
- Do not dispose of the batteries in fire. They may explode.
- Avoid putting the batteries into contact with metal objects which can short circuit the battery
terminals (e.g. keys, paper clips, coins, etc.).
- Do not drop or subject the batteries to strong physical shocks.
- Do not try to disassemble any of the battery packs.
- Use only the recommended battery chargers (see above).
- If the battery terminals become soiled, clean them with a soft cloth.
- Batteries may warm up during charging.
