Safety And Precautions

Emergency services

To make an emergency call in any country:

•Press 112, the worldwide emergency number.

•Ask the operator for the service which you require: Police, Ambulance, Fire Brigade, Coastguard

or Mountain Rescue Services. Give your location and, if possible, remain stationary to maintain phone contact.

The 112 emergency number service is available on every digital network service. The number 999 is an alternative emergency number for UK only, and can only be used with a valid SIM card.

•Due to the nature of the cellular system, the success of emergency calls cannot be guaranteed.

•For customized local emergency numbers, please check with your local units for the number.

General care

A cellphone contains delicate electronic circuitry, magnets, and battery systems. You should treat it with care and give particular attention to the following points.

•Do not allow the phone or its accessories to come into contact with liquid or moisture at any time.

•Do not place anything in the phone.

•Do not expose your phone to extreme high or low temperatures.

•Do not expose your phone to naked flame, cigars or cigarettes.

•Do not paint your phone.

•Do not drop or subject your phone to rough treatment.

•Do not place the phone alongside computer disks, credit cards, travel cards and other magnetic media. The information contained on disks or cards may be affected by the phone.

•Do not leave the phone or the battery in places where the temperature could exceed 60

degrees celsius; e.g. on a car dashboard or on a window sill, behind glass in direct sunlight, etc.

•Do not remove the phone’s battery while the phone is switched on.

•Take care not to allow metal objects, such as coins or key rings, to contact or short-circuit the battery terminals.

•Do not dispose battery packs in a fire. Your phone's Li-ion batteries may be safely disposed at Li-ion recycling points.

•Do not put your phone's battery in your mouth as battery electrolytes may be toxic if swallowed.

•Do not attempt to dismantle the phone or any of its accessories.

•This equipment is fitted with an internal battery that can only be replaced by a qualified

service engineer. There is a risk of explosion if the battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Disposal of used battery must be in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.

•Using any battery pack, AC adapter or vehicle power adapter (option) not specified by the manufacturer for use with this phone creates a potential safety hazard.

•The earpiece may become warm during normal use and the unit itself may become warm during charging.

•Use a damp or anti-static cloth to clean the phone. Do NOT use a dry cloth or electrostatically charged cloth. Do not use chemical or abrasive cleaners as these could damage the casing.

•Recycling: the cardboard packaging supplied with this phone is ideal for recycling.

•Do not leave the battery pack empty or disconnected for a long time, otherwise certain data may be initialized.

•Your phone contains metal which may cause itching, rashes or eczema depending on your constitution or physical condition.

•Take care not to put your phone in the back pocket of your trousers or skirt and then sit on it.

Also, do not put your phone at the bottom of a bag which may be subjected to excessive weight or pressure. Doing so may damage the LCD and camera lens and cause them to malfunction.

Aircraft safety

•Switch off your cellphone and remove its battery when inside or near the aircraft. The use of

cellphones in the aircraft is illegal. It may be dangerous to the operation of the aircraft and may disrupt the cellular network.

Failure to observe this instruction may lead to suspension or denial of cellphone service to the offender, or legal action, or both.

•Do not use your phone on the ground without the permission of the ground crew.

Hospital safety

•Switch off your phone in areas where the use of cellphones is prohibited. Follow the

instructions given by the respective medical facility regarding the use of cellphones on their premises.

General safety

•Observe “Turn off 2-way radio” signs, such as those near stores of fuel, chemicals or explosives.

•Do not allow children to play with the phone, charger or batteries.

•Small parts are included in your phone. Keep them out of reach of small children, for whom it could cause a choking hazard.

•The operation of some medical electronic devices, such as hearing aids and pacemakers,

may be affected if a cellphone is used next to them. Observe any warning signs and manufacturer's recommendations.

6

•If you have a weak heart, you should take extra precautions when setting functions such as the Vibrator and Ringer volume functions for incoming calls.

•If you set the Vibrator setting to anything other than OFF, be careful that the phone is not near a source of heat (e.g. a heater) and that it does not fall from a desk due to the vibration.

Road safety

•You MUST exercise proper control of your vehicle at all times. Give full attention to driving.

•Observe all the recommendations contained in your local traffic safety documentation.

•Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving conditions so require.

•You MUST NOT stop on the hard shoulder of a motorway to answer or make a call, except in an emergency.

•Switch off your cellphone at the 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 where a radio transmitter is placed, such as a cellphone.

•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 your phone until it has been checked by qualified and approved installers.

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. Improper installation of wireless equipment in vehicle could result in serious injury when the air bag inflates.

Third party equipment

The use of third party equipment, cables or accessories, not manufactured or authorised by NEC, may invalidate the warranty of your cellphone and also adversely affect the phone's operation. For example use only the NEC mains cable supplied with the AC charger.

Service

The cellphone, batteries and charger contain no user-serviceable parts. We recommend that your NEC cellphone be serviced or repaired by an NEC authorised service centre. Please contact your service provider or NEC for advice.

Non-ionizing radiations

The radio equipment shall be connected to the antenna via a non-radiating cable (e.g. coax). The antenna shall be mounted in a position such that no part of the human body will normally come into contact with any part of the antenna unless there is an intervening metallic screen, for example, the metallic roof.

Use only the internal antenna that has been specifically designed for your phone. Use of unauthorized antennas, modifications or attachments could damage the mobile phone and may violate the appropriate regulations, causing loss of performance and radio frequency (RF) energy above the recommended limits.

Efficient use

For optimum performance with minimum power consumption, please note the following:

•Your phone has the internal antenna. Do not cover part of the internal antenna of the phone

with your hands. This affects call quality, may cause the mobile phone to operate at a higher power level than needed and may shorten talk and standby times.

Radio frequency energy

Your phone is a low-power radio transmitter and 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

Your 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 organizations 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 your phone is designed to conform to:

•ICNIRP, “Guidelines for limiting exposure to time-varying electric, magnetic, and electromagnetic fields (up to 300 G Hz)-International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP)”.

Health Physics, vol. 74. pp, 494-522, April 1998.

•99/519/EC Council Recommendation on the limitation of exposure to the general public to electromagnetic fields 0 Hz-300 GHz, Official Journal of the European Communities, July 12,1999.
