Interference
All wireless phones may be subject to interference, which could
affect their performance.
Be aware of special regulations
Meet any special regulations in force in any area and always switch
off your phone whenever it is forbidden to use it, or when it may
cause interference or danger.
Water resistanc e
Your phone is not water-resistant. Keep it dry.
Sensible use
Use only in the normal position (held to the ear). Avoid unnecessary
contact with the antenna when the phone is switched on.
Keep your phone away fr om small children
Keep the phone and all its parts, including accessories, ou t of the
reach of small children.
Accessories and batteries
Use only approved batteries and accessories, such as headsets and
PC data cables. Use of any unauthorized accessories could damage
you and your phone and may be dangerous.
If jewelry, keys, beaded chains, or other conductive materials touch
exposed battery terminals, this could complete an electrical circuit
(short circuit), become very hot, and could cause damage or injury.
Be careful when handling a charged battery, particularly when
placing it inside a pocket, purse, or other container with metal
4
objects.
Never use a charger or battery that is damaged in any way.
Use the battery only for its intended purpose.
If you use the phone near the network’s base station, it uses less
power. Talk and standby time are greatly affected by the signal
strength on the cellular network and the parameters set by the
network operator.
Battery charging time depends on the remaining battery charge,
the type of battery, and the charger used. T he batt ery can be
charged and discharged hundreds of times, but it will gradually
wear out. When the operation time is noticeably shorter than
normal, it is time to buy a new battery.
If left unused, a fully charged battery will discharge itself over
time.
Use only approved batteries, and rech arges your battery only
approved chargers. Disconnect the ch arger from the power
source when it is not in use. Do not leave the battery connected
to a charger for more than a week, since overcharging may
shorten its life.
Extreme temperatures will affect the charging capacity of your
battery: it may require cooling or warming first.
Do not leave the battery in hot or cold places because the
capacity and lifetime of the battery will be reduced. Try to keep
the battery at room temperature. A phone with a hot or cold
battery may not work temporarily, even when the battery is fully
charged.
Do not short-circuit the battery. A ccidental short-circuiting can
5
occur when a metallic object like a coin, clip or pen causes a
direct connection between the + and – terminals of the battery
(metal strips on the battery). For example, do not carry a spare
battery in a pocket or bag where the battery may contact metal
objects. Short-circuiting the terminals may damage the battery or
the object causing the short-circuiting.
Dispose of used batteries in accordance with local regulations.
Always recycle. Do not dispose of batteries in a fire.
The phone could explode if the battery is replaced with an
incorrect type.
Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer’s
instructions.
At very high volumes, prolonged listening to a headset can
damage your hearing.
To avoid risk of personal injury, do not dispose of your battery in
a fire.

may also be subject to interference.
As with other mobile radio-transmitting equipment, you are
advised that for satisfactory operations and personal safety, the
equipment should only be used in the normal operating position.
Always switch off the phone when refueling (service station). You
are reminded of the need to observe restrictions on the use of
radio equipment in fuel depots (fuel storage and distribution
areas), chemical plants or where blasting operations are in
progress.
11
Do not store or carry flammable liquids, gases or explosive
materials in the same compartment as the phone, its parts or
accessories.
Switch off your cellular phone when in aircraft. The use of cellular
phones in aircraft is illegal and may be dangerous to the
operation of the aircraft or disrupt the cellular network. Failure to
observe these instructions may lead to the suspension or denial
of cellular telephone services to the offender, legal action or both.
As with other mobile radio transmitting equipment, users are
advised that for the satisfactory operation of the equipment and
for the safety of personnel, it is recommended that the equipment
should only be used in the normal operating position (held to your
ear with the antenna pointing over your shoulder).
Electronic devices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from radio frequency
(RF) signals. However, certain electronic equipment may not be
shielded against the RF signals from your wireless phone. Consult
the manufacturer to discuss alternatives.
Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum distance of
15 cm (6 inches) be maintained between a wireless phone and a
pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker.
These recommendations are consistent with the independent
research and recommendations of Wireless Technology Research.
If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place,
switch you’re your phone immediately.
12
Hearing aids
Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids.
In the event of such interference, you may wish to consult your
hearing aid manufacturer to discuss alternatives.
Radio frequency (RF) exposure and SAR
This phone meets Fedural Communications Commission (FCC) concerning
requirements exposure to radio waves. Your mobile phone is a radio
transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured to not exceed the
limits for exposure to radiofrequency (RF) energy, as recommended
by the FCC Council. 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 organizations through the periodic and thorough evaluation
of scientific studies. The limits include a substantial safety margin
designed to ensure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and
health. The exposure standard for mobile phones employs a unit of
measurement known as Specific Absorption Rate (SAR).
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) is the unit of measurement for the
amount of radio frequency energy absorbed by the body when using
a mobile phone. The SAR value is determined at the highest
certified power level in laboratory conditions, but the actual SAR
level of the mobile phone while it is operating can be well below this
value. This is because the mobile phone is designed to use the
minimum power required to rea ch the network. Variations in SAR
below the radio frequency exposure guidelines do not mean that
there are variations in safety. While there may be differences in SAR
levels among mobile phones, all mobile phone models are designed
13
to meet radio frequency exposure guidelines. Before a phone model
is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and certified by
the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) that it does not
exceed the limit established by the government-adopted
requirement for safe exposure. The tests are performed in positions
and locations (that is, at the ear and worn on the body) as required
by the FCC for each model. For body-worn operation, this phone
has been tested and meets FCC RF exposure guidelines when the
handset is positioned a minimum of 15 mm from the body without
any metal parts in the vicinity of the phone or when used with the
original accessory intended for this phone and worn on the body.
Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF
exposure guidelines.
The SAR limit recommended by the EU Council is 1.6W/kgA
The highest SAR value for this model phone was 0.954 W/kg.
SAR tests are conducted using standard operating positions with the
phone transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested
frequency bands.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------A. The SAR limit for mobile phones used by the public is 1.6
watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged over ten grams of
body tissue. The limit incorporates a substantial margin
of safety to give additional protection for the public and
to account for any variations in measurements. The
SAR values may vary, depending on national reporting
requirements and the network band.
14
SIM AT Service
SIM Card provides several value-added services.
These functions will only display and work on the menu of the phone
when your SIM card is supported. The content and the terms of the
function lists will depend on your network service provider.
Please contact your network service provider (a network operator or
the service provider) in regards with availability of any services
related to the SIM card, application information and the costs.
Other medical devices
If you use any other personal medical devices, consult the
manufacturer of your device to determine if it is adequately shielded
from external RF energy. Your physician may be able to assist you
in obtaining this information. Switch off your phone in health care
facilities when regulations posted in these areas instruct you to do
so.
Health and safety information
Vehicles
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded
electronic systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer
or its representative regarding your vehicle. You should also consult
the manufacturer of any equipment that has been added to your
vehicle.
Posted facilities
Switch off your phone in any facility where posted notices require
you to do so.
15
Potentially explosive environments
Switch off your phone when in any area with a potentially explosive
atmosphere, and obey all signs and instructions. Sparks in such
areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or
even death.
Users are advised to switch off the phone while at a refueling point
(service station). Users are reminded of the need to observe
restrictions on the use of radio equipment in fuel depots (fuel
storage and distribution areas), chem i cal plants , or where blasting
operations are in progress. Areas with a potentially explosive
atmosphere are often but not always clearly marked. They include
the areas below decks on boats, chemical transfer or storage
facilities, vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas, such as propane or
butane, areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as
grain, dust or metal powders, and any other area where you would
normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine.
Emergency calls
This phone, like any wireless phone, operates using radio signals,
wireless, and landline networks as well as user-programmed
functions, which cannot guarantee connection in all conditions.
Therefore, you should never rely solely on any wireless phone for
essential communications like medical emergencies. To make or
receive calls, the phone must be switched on and in a service area
with adequate signal strength. Emergency calls may not be possible
on all wireless phone networks or when certain network services
and/or phone features are in use. Check with local service providers.
16
To make an emergency call:
1. Key in the emergency number for your present location.
Emergency numbers may vary by location.
2. Press the Send Key.
3. Inform your location. Do not end the call until given permission to

Certain features like Call Barring may need to be deactivated before
you can make an emergency call. Consult this document and your
local cellular service provider.
Other important safety inf o rmation
Only qualified personnel should service the phone or install the
phone in a vehicle. Faulty installation or service may be
dangerous and may invalidate any warranty applicable to the
device.
Check regularly that all wireless phone equipment in your vehicle
is mounted and operating properly.
Do not store or carry flammable liquids, gases, or explosive
materials in the same compartment as the phone, its parts, or
accessories.
For vehicles equipped with an air bag, remember that an air bag
inflates with great force. Do not place objects, including installed
or portable wireless equipment, in the area over the air bag or in
the air bag deployment area. Improperly installed wireless
equipment could result in serious injury if the air bag inflates.
Switch off your phone before boarding an aircraft. It is dangerous
and illegal to use wireless phones in an aircraft because they can
17
interfere with the operation of the aircraft.
Failure to observe these instructions may lead to the suspension
or denial of telephone services to the offender, or legal action, or
both.
