Safety and Performance
Fully charge the phone’s battery before you use your new wireless phone (see page 19 for the first time charging instructions).
User Caution
Phone settings should be adjusted to suit the likes and preferences of the individual user. Users sensitive to loud noises or sudden
alarms should take care not to use or set the phone in any manner that may result in the user being unduly alarmed.
For example, an user with heightened sensitivity to noise should adjust the wireless phone to a volume setting that is within his or her
range of comfort. If you believe the wireless phone causes you any adverse reaction, you should discontinue using the phone
immediately.
Emergency Services
Ensure your wireless phone is turned On, the battery is properly charged, and the network connection signal strength level is adequate
before attempting an emergency call. If your battery is empty (see page 19), you can not make or receive any calls, including
emergency calls.
To make an emergency call in the United States,
Input the emergency number for your present location (i.e., 911 or other designated emergency number).
*
Press(Send).
In the United States of America, the
O
emergency number is 911.
Ask the operator for the service you require: Police, Ambulance, Fire, Coastguard or Mountain Rescue Services. Give accurate and necessary
information. If possible, remain stationary to maintain phone contact. Do not terminate the call until given permission to do so.
(See Flags for more emergency information.)
O
Emergency calls (911) are possible
without service activation or SIM
card. Your location is delivered to
the emergency operator along with
your caller ID as required by FCC
guidelines.
O
Due to the nature of the wireless
system, the success of emergency
calls cannot be guaranteed. Never
rely solely on a wireless phone for
essential communications such as
medical emergencies.
10
Safety
Prior to operating your wireless phone, please read this manual thoroughly, including the care and safety information. Observe the
following guidelines for safe and efficient operation of the phone.
General Care
A wireless phone contains delicate electronic circuitry, magnets, and battery systems. You should treat it with care and give particular
attention to the following points.
l
Do not allow the phone or its accessories to come into contact with liquid or moisture at any time.
l
Do not place anything in the folded phone.
l
Do not expose your phone to extreme high or low temperatures.
l
Do not expose your phone to direct flame, cigars or cigarettes.
l
Do not paint your phone.
l
Do not drop or subject your phone to abusive treatment.
l
Do not place the phone near or against computer diskettes, credit cards, travel cards and other magnetic media. The information
contained on disks or cards may be affected by the phone.
l
Do not remove the phone’s battery while the phone is turned On.
l
Do not allow metal objects, such as coins or key rings, to contact or short-circuit the battery terminals.
l
Do not allow children to play with the phone; it is not a toy.
l
Do not attempt to disassemble the phone or any of its accessories. For repair, contact an NEC qualified repair center.
l
Use only a damp or anti-static cloth to clean the phone. Do NOT use a dry cloth, a saturated wet-cloth, or electrostatically charged
cloth. Do not use chemical or abrasive cleaners as these may damage the case.
(See Flag for recycling information.)
General Safety
l
The earpiece and phone may become warm during normal use. The unit itself may become warm during charging and use.
l
Observe ‘Turn off 2-way radio’ signs, such as those near gas stations, chemicals or explosives. (See Flag.)
l
A small rubber plug (for hands free socket protection) is included in the carton. Keep this out of reach of small children for whom
it could be a choking hazard.
l
Do not allow children to play with the phone, battery charger, batteries or SIM card.
l
The operation of some medical electronic devices (such as hearing aids, cardiac pacemakers, and other implanted equipment)
may be affected if a wireless phone is used next or near to them. Observe any warning signs and manufacturer’s
recommendations.
l
Do not place the wireless phone on or near high heat items (e.g., candles, appliances that generate heat, etc.) or areas (e.g.,
fireplace, stoves, etc.) when the wireless phone is in vibrate mode. The vibration could cause the phone to move into the high heat
and cause a hazard.
l
Do not sit or place heavy objects on top of the phone at any time to prevent damage to the LCD and camera lens.
l
The wireless phone contains metal, which may cause a rash, itching, eczema, inflammation, or other skin conditions to appear if
the person has metal allergies.
O
Remember to recycle: the
cardboard packaging supplied with
this phone is ideal for recycling.
O
Turn Off the phone. The wireless
phone can still be a hazard in these
areas even when set in vibrate
mode.
11
Radio Frequency (RF) Signals
THIS MODEL PHONE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT’S REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.
Your wireless phone contains a radio transmitter and receiver. Your NEC phone is designed and manufactured not to exceed the
emission limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission of the U.S. Government.
These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines
are based on standards that were developed by independent scientific organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation of
scientific studies.
The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR). The
SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg.
* Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions accepted by the FCC with the
phone transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. 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 wireless base station antenna, the lower the output.
Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the limit
established by the government-adopted requirement for safe exposure. The tests are performed on position and locations (for example,
at the ear and worn on the body) as required by FCC for each model. The highest SAR value for this model phone as reported to the FCC
when tested for use at the ear is 1.2 W/kg, and when worn on the body, is .561 W/kg. (Body-worn measurements differ among phone
models, depending upon available accessories and FCC requirements). While there may be differences between the SAR levels of
various phones and at various positions, they all meet the government requirement.
Body-worn Operation
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model phone with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the
FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR information on this model phone is on file with the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant
section at http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fcid after search on FCC ID A98-KMP6J1F1-1A.
For body worn operation, this phone has been tested and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines when used with a NEC accessory
designated for this product or when used with an accessory that contains no metal and that positions the handset a minimum of 1.5 cm
from the body.
*In the United States, the SAR limit for
wireless mobile phones used by the public
is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over one
gram of tissue. SAR values may vary
depending upon national reporting
requirements and the network band.
Aircraft Safety
The use of wireless phones in aircraft may be dangerous to the operation of the aircraft and may be illegal. Any use of a wireless phone
on board an aircraft must be in accordance with applicable regulations. Follow all flight crew instructions. When instructed to turn Off
your wireless telephone, do so.
Road Safety
Check the laws and regulations concerning the use of wireless telephones and their accessories in the areas where you drive and always
obey them. If you find it necessary to use your cellular telephone behind the wheel of a car, please:
l
Give full attention to driving and exercise proper control of your vehicle at all times. (See Flag.)
l
Observe all the recommendations contained in your local traffic safety documentation.
l
Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call, if driving conditions so require.
l
Turn Off your wireless phone at a refueling point, such as a gas station, even if you are not refueling your own car.
l
Do not store or carry flammable or explosive materials in the same compartment as a wireless phone.
O
Use hands-free operation, if
available.
12
Electromagnetic Interference
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.
Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends a minimum separation of six inches (or 15 cm) be maintained between a
handheld wireless phone and a pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with the independent research and
recommendations by Wireless Technology Research. Persons with cardiac pacemakers:
l
Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than six inches from their pacemaker when the phone is turned On.
l
Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket.
l
Should place the phone to the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for interference.
l
If you have any reason to suspect RF interference, turn Off your phone immediately and remove the battery.
Whether the phone vibrates, plays a ring tune, or the volume buttons increase/decrease the ring sound, a received call to a wireless
phone may interfere with a cardiac pacemaker.
Hearing Aids
Digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of such interference, you may want to consult your wireless
service provider.
Other Medical Devices and Medical Facilities
Operation of wireless phones could interfere with medical devices or implanted equipment which are inadequately shielded from
external RF energy. Consult a physician or the manufacturer of the medical device to determine if such devices are adequately shielded.
Turn Off your phone in health care facilities, if regulations posted in these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities
may be using equipment that could be sensitive to external RF energy
.
Vehicles
Electronic vehicle systems, such as anti-lock brakes, speed control and fuel injection systems are not normally affected by radio
transmissions. RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic systems in motor vehicles. 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 vehicle manufacturer or its representative regarding your vehicle and do not turn On your phone
until it has been checked by qualified approved installers. You should consult the manufacturer of any equipment that has been added
to your vehicle.
Posted Facilities
Turn Off your phone in any facility where posted notices require you to do so.
13
Blasting Areas
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn Off your phone when in a blasting area or areas posted: “Turn Off Two-Way Radio.”
Obey all signs and instructions. (See Flag.)
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Turn Off your phone prior to entering any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere, and obey all signs and instructions. Do not
remove, install, or change batteries in such areas. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or
even death. (See Flag.)
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always, clearly marked. These include fueling areas such as gasoline
stations; below deck on boats; fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities; vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such a propane or
butane); areas where oxygen is used; 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 turned Off your vehicle engine.
Vehicles Equipped with an Air Bag
An air bag inflates with great force. Do not place objects, including either installed or portable wireless equipment, in the area over the
air bag or in the air bag deployment area. If wireless equipment is improperly installed in the vehicle and the air bag inflates, serious
injury could result.
Battery Care and Disposal
Do not leave the phone or the battery in places where the temperature could exceed 140 °F, i.e., on a car dashboard, on a window sill,
in direct sunlight, etc.
Turn Off the phone. The wireless
O
phone can still be a hazard in these
areas even when set in vibrate
mode.
Do not put your phone’s battery in your mouth as battery electrolytes may be toxic, if swallowed.
Keep the battery away from children. It is not a toy and it could be a choking hazard.
Your phone battery is a sealed unit with no serviceable parts inside; do not attempt to open the battery covering.
Use only a battery approved by NEC for the 525 wireless phone.
Using any battery pack or AC adapter not specified by NEC for use with the 525 may be dangerous and may invalidate any warranty and
approval given to the wireless phone. Do not connect more than one charger at any time.
To ensure the maximum life from your battery, allow the battery to fully discharge at least once a week. To fully discharge the battery,
leave the phone turned on until the message “RECHARGE BATTERY” is displayed and the phone shuts itself Off. If left unused, a fully
charged battery discharges in approximately one month. Store batteries uncharged in a cool, dark, and dry place.
Batteries must be recycled or disposed of properly. Through the AT&T Wireless Reuse and Recycle program, consumers are invited to
bring unwanted phones, accessories, and batteries (regardless of the manufacture or carrier) to an AT&T Wireless retail store for
recycling. Use the website link to find an AT&T Wireless store nearest you:” http://www.attwireless.com/general/storelocator “.

Preparing the Battery
The minimum performance of the 800 mAh, standard Lithium battery is: up to 150 hours standby time and 5 hours talk time (typically
3.5 hours talk time). These times are estimates only and depend on your location within the network, the frequency at which your
location is updated, the type of SIM you have, your reception area or ‘cell broadcast’ messages, and the use of Full Rate or Enhanced
Full Rate speech, as well as other factors that affect both standby and talk times.
Charging the Battery the First Time
Your phone is powered by a rechargeable battery. A new phone battery must be fully charged before using your wireless phone the first
time.
Before trying to use your phone, ensure the SIM card is inserted and the battery is in place on the phone. Place the battery
*
terminal end towards the hinge of the phone. Lower the battery toward the phone to lock into place. (See Warning and graphic in
right column.).
Connect the NEC battery charger supplied with your phone to a compatible power outlet.
Connect the charger plug into the connector on the base side of the phone. (See graphic in right column.)
Check for the battery charging icon in the status bar and that the LED, located on the back of the flip cover, glows red. (See Flag
and graphic in right column.) To fully charge the battery, leave the phone charging until the LED goes out and the battery icon
displays as full.
Checking the Battery
The battery charge indicator shows the approximate charge level of the battery while the phone is in use and not being charged. The
blocks on the display show the charge of your battery pack. The empty battery icon displays when the battery is nearly empty with
approximately one minute of talk time remaining.
DO NOT connect a charger or
I
any other external DC source if
the phone's battery is not
inserted. If this happens, the
phone may not function
properly.

*
Check the icon at the top, left corner of the screen (the status bar, see page 7).
Low Battery Indication
If battery is completely discharged or brand new, there could be a few minutes delay before the charging indicator illuminates. This is
not an abnormal occurrence.
When the battery voltage falls below the working level, RECHARGE BATTERY appears on the graphics display area and an empty battery
icon displays in the status bar. With the recharge notification, the phone also sounds a short tone at ten-second intervals. Once the
recharge message displays and the short tone sounds, the phone battery has approximately one minute of use remaining. The phone
automatically powers Off.
The battery charge continues to drop after the “RECHARGE BATTERY” warning displays. In extreme cases where the battery is left
uncharged for some considerable time after the warning is displayed, a trickle charge is used to slowly charge the battery back up to a
safe level at which fast charging can begin. During this time, the battery icon will show charging but you are not able to make or receive
a call, or fully power On the phone. Normal wireless phone operation resumes once fast charging begins. The phone can be in tricklecharge for a few hours before fast charging starts if the battery is left uncharged for some days after the recharge warning.
