• Do not solder the battery directly.
• Stop using the battery if you detect any abnormalities, such as odour, discolouration or heat during use, charge or
storage.
• Do not use the phone with a damaged or misshapen battery.
• In the unlikely event of a battery leak, take care to keep the battery discharge away from your eyes or skin. If the leakage
does come into contact with the eyes or skin, please flush thoroughly in clean water and consult a doctor.
• Remove a worn out battery immediately.
• The handset itself may become warm when the handset is used for an extended period of time or when the video
functions are used. Also, it may become warm while the battery is being charged.
• When a phone is set to Vibration mode, the vibration can sometimes cause your phone to move. Be careful not to place
the phone near heat sources (such as a heater) or too close to the edge of the table.
• Use an anti-static cloth to clean the phone. Do not use an ordinary dry cloth or electrostatically charged cloth. Do not use
chemical or abrasive cleaners as these could damage the case.
• Remember to recycle the cardboard packaging supplied with this phone.
• Remember to make backup copies of all important data on your phone.
• Do not leave the battery pack empty or disconnected for a long time, otherwise some data may be initialised.
• Take care not to put your phone in your back pocket and then sit on it. Also, do not put your phone at the bottom of a bag
where it may subject to excessive weight or pressure. Doing so may damage the LCD and camera lens and cause them
to malfunction.
• Hold the phone away from your ear when you
- Play video/music on the Multimedia Player
- Play the ringtune through the speaker.
It may damage, or irritate your ears.
PL-2 Important Safety Information
Safety
The use of mobile phones is not allowed in some radiation-sensitive areas, such as hospitals, research centres and aircraft.
Ensure that you switch off your phone in these areas. If in doubt, remove the battery.
Aircraft safety
• Switch off your phone and remove its battery when inside or near an aircraft. The use of phones in aircraft is illegal. It
may be dangerous to the operation of the aircraft and it may disrupt the mobile network. Failure to observe this
instruction may lead to suspension or denial of mobile network services to the offender or legal action or both.
• Do not use the phone on the ground without the permission of the ground staff.
Hospital safety
• Switch off your phone and remove its battery in areas where the use of phones is prohibited. Follow the instructions
given by the respective medical centre regarding the use of mobile phones on their premises.
General safety
• Observe "Turn off mobile" signs, such as those near petrol stations, chemicals or explosives and switch off your phone.
• If you have a heart condition, be careful with the call vibration or tone volume settings.
• Do not allow children to play with the phone, charger or batteries.
• Do not use the phone where blasting is in progress.
• The operation of some medical electronic devices, such as hearing aids and pacemakers, may be affected if you use a
mobile phone next to them. Observe any warning signs and the manufacturer’s recommendations.
• Your phone contains metal which may cause a skin irritation, a rash or eczema.
Road safety
• You MUST exercise proper control of your vehicle at all times. Give your full attention to driving.
• Observe all local safety regulations regarding the use of mobile phones while driving.
• Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call.
• You MUST NOT stop on the hard shoulder of a motorway to answer or make a call, except in an emergency.
• Switch off your phone at a refuelling point, such as a petrol station, even if you are not refuelling your own car.
• Do not store or carry flammable or explosive materials in the same compartment as a radio transmitter.
• Electronic vehicle systems, such as anti-lock brakes, speed control and fuel injection systems are not normally affected
by radio transmissions. The manufacturer of such equipment can advise if it is adequately shielded from radio
transmissions. If you suspect vehicle problems caused by radio transmissions, consult your dealer and do not switch on
the phone until it has been checked by qualified approved installers.
Important Safety Information PL-3
Check if local laws and/or regulations restrict the use of phones while driving.
•
Vehicles equipped with an airbag
An airbag inflates with great force. Do not place objects, including either installed or portable wireless equipment, in the area
over the airbag or in the airbag deployment area. If in-vehicle wireless equipment is improperly installed and the airbag
inflates, serious injury could result.
Third party equipment
The use of third party equipment, batteries, cables or accessories, not made or authorised by NEC, may invalidate the
warranty of your phone and also adversely affect the phone’s operation.
Service
The phone, batteries and charger contain no user-serviceable parts. We recommend that your NEC phone is serviced or
repaired by an NEC authorised service centre. Please contact 3 or NEC for advice.
Efficient use
The phone has an internal antenna. For optimum performance with minimum power consumption, please do not cover the
internal antenna area with your hand. Covering the internal antenna affects call quality, may cause the phone to operate at
higher power levels than needed and may shorten talk and standby times.
Radio frequency energy
Your phone is a low-power radio transmitter/receiver. When it is turned on, it intermittently receives and transmits radio
frequency (RF) energy (radio waves). The system that handles the call controls the power level at which the phone transmits.
Exposure to radio frequency energy
The phone is designed not to exceed the limits for exposure to RF energy set by national authorities and international health
agencies.* These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of radio wave exposure for the
general population. The guidelines were developed by independent scientific organisations such as ICNIRP (International
Commission on Non-ionizing Radiation Protection) 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 and to account
for any variations in measurements.
*Examples of radio frequency exposure guidelines and standards that the phone is designed to conform to:
• ICNIRP, Guidelines for limiting exposure to time-varying electric, magnetic and electromagnetic fields (up to 300 GHz)-
International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP). Health Physics, vol.74. pp, 494-522, April
1998.
• 99/519/EC, EU Council Recommendation on the limitation of exposure of the general public to electromagnetic fields 0
Hz-300 GHz. Official Journal of the European Communities, July 12, 1999.

Introducing your 338
Your 338 combines a wide range of features in a technologically advanced phone, capable of operating on UMTS (Universal
Mobile Telecommunication System), also known as 3G, GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) or 2G and GPRS
(General Packet Radio Service) or 2.5G.
3G allows much greater data speeds than 2G/2.5G networks and enables you to make video calls, send multimedia
messages, view photos and videos and much more.

Setting up your 338
This section explains how to prepare your phone for use.
Before you use your phone you must do the following:
• Insert a valid USIM (Universal Subscriber Identity Module) card
• Charge the battery
• Set the date and time
This section shows you what to do step by step.
USIM Card
3 provides you with a USIM card that must be inserted into your phone.
The USIM card holder is located underneath the battery. If the USIM card is removed, then the phone becomes unusable
until a valid USIM is inserted.
Always disconnect the charger and other accessories from your phone before inserting and removing your USIM card.
To Insert/Remove the USIM Card

Battery
To Insert the Battery
1 When fitting the battery, face the outside cover of the battery towards you. Place the top of the battery into position and
push the lower section of the battery into place.
You can charge the battery whenever you wish without affecting the performance of the phone.
Your 338 automatically switches off if the battery charge is too low.
Batteries have a life cycle. If you find that the amount of times you have to charge the battery is increasing dramatically,
the battery life may be coming to an end. Use only the NEC original or approved batteries. Unapproved batteries can
impair the performance of the phone and invalidate the warranty.
When the battery is not being used for a long period of time, remove it from your 338 and store in a cool, dry place.
A battery that has not been used for a long period of time needs to be completely discharged and then recharged two or
three times before reaching full capacity.
Charging
To Charge the Battery Using the Charger
1 Insert the battery into the phone (see To Insert the Battery section above).
2 Connect the charger plug to your 338 I/O connector (see the diagram on the next page).
3 Plug the charger into a mains socket. The LED indicator on your 338 lights up while charging is in progress and goes
off when charging is completed.
4 After charging is completed, unplug the charger from the I/O connector.
Setting up your 338 -6-
Connecting the battery charger to the phone
When the phone is being used, the battery level may decrease even if the phone remains connected to the charger.
The battery must be charged at room temperature. Ensure that your phone is switched off. If the phone temperature is
high, wait until it returns to a normal temperature.
The recommended battery charge time is approximately two hours.
Stop charging the battery if charging is not completed within five hours. Remove the charger from the phone and
connect it again to restart the charging.
The LED indicator may take a few minutes to light up after the phone starts charging an empty battery.
Low Battery Alarm
The battery power has 4 levels and is indicated by the following icons:
Empty Battery
Low Battery Medium Battery Full Battery
-7- Setting up your 338
Low battery alarm
When the battery runs out, the above image blinks and there is an audio alarm. The phone switches off shortly afterwards. If
the low battery alarm occurs during a call, the call will be disconnected after approximately 60 seconds.
The volume level of the low battery alarm depends on the settings of the ringtune volume on standby and the earpiece
volume during a call.
