Interference Statement
NOTE:
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a
Class B digital device pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off
and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or
more of the following measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
xi
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to
which the receiver is connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to
the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful
interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired operation.
Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer

when the phone is switched on.
About the Radio Frequency Exposure
This product is a low-power radio transmitter and receiver. When it is turned
on, it receives and also sends out radio frequency (RF) signals. Specific
Absorption Rate (SAR) is the unit of measurement for the amount of radio
frequency energy absorbed by the body.
The highest SAR values for this product (the limit is 1.6 W/kg) are as
follows:
When tested for use: 1.48 W/kg for GSM850, 0.772 W/kg for PCS1900,
0.016 W/kg for WLAN Head SAR.
When worn on the body: 1.52 W/kg for GSM850, 0.649 W/kg for
PCS1900, 0.01 W/kg for WLAN Body SAR.
To reduce the effects of the radio frequency energy on the human body, use
the phone feature with care. For example, make short calls as possible as you
can.

storage card, or SDIO wireless network card. With the removable memory,
you can store or backup your data and exchange data with other devices.
To use a Micro SD card:
1. Slide the back cover slightly, and then lift it off the device from the
bottom edge.
2. The Micro SD slot is on the bottom left corner. Insert the card into the
slot, with the connector pointing to the slot and its label facing outside.

card. Then slightly push the top edge of the card to release it and pull it
out of the slot.
4. Replace the back cover.
NOTE:
A storage card is also called a memory card.
Make sure that no foreign objects enter the slot.

3 Using the Phone
This chapter explains how to make and receive phone calls, track your calls,
manage your calls and phone numbers more efficiently, and how to
customize the phone functions.
3.1 About Your Phone
Your device includes an integrated GSM (Global System for Mobile
Communications) 850/900/1800/1900 MHz / EDGE (Enhanced Data GSM
Environment) / GPRS (general packet radio service) phone.
The integrated phone in the device can also be used to connect the device to
an ISP (Internet Service Provider) or work network so you can browse the
Web and read e-mail. You can connect to the Internet or work network over
GPRS/EDGE, using Cellular Line, or using the modem specified by your
mobile phone service provider.
Before You Start
To use the phone, you need to first set up an account with a GSM/GPRS
mobile phone service provider. The functions available to you depend on the
services offered by your service provider and your type of subscription.
Your service provider will provide you with a SIM card. This card contains
your mobile phone account details and rights, contacts that can be stored and
any additional services to which you have subscribed. You must install a
SIM card before you can make or receive phone calls or use wireless data
services. (For information on installing a SIM card, see “Installing the SIM
Card and Battery” in section 1.2.)
