Welcome

Congratulations! Your new NeoPoint is going to change the way you

communicate.

Important Safety Information

Radio Frequency (RF) Signals

Your wireless handheld portable telephone is a low power radio transmitter and
receiver. When it is ON, it receives and also sends out radio frequency (RF) signals.
In August 1996, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) adopted RF
exposure guidelines with safety levels for handheld wireless phones. Those
guidelines are consistent with safety standards previously set by both U.S. and
international standards bodies: American National Standard Institute (ANSI), National
Council of Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP), and International
Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNRP). Those standards were
based on comprehensive and periodic evaluations of the relevant scientific literature.
Over 120 engineers, scientists, and physicians from universities, government health
agencies and industries reviewed the available body of research to develop the ANSI
Standard. The design of your phone complies with the FCC guidelines and those
standards.

Traffic Safety

Do not use a hand-held telephone while driving a vehicle. Talking on the phone while
driving is extremely dangerous and is illegal in some states. If using a hand-held
phone park the vehicle before conversing. Remember that road safety always comes
first!

Operating Environment

Follow 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. When
connecting the phone or any accessory to another device, consult your manual for
detailed safety instructions. To avoid possible damage and quality impairment to the
phone, do not connect incompatible products.

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. 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.

Medical Devices
Operation of any radio transmitting equipment, including cellular phones, may
interfere with the functionality of inadequately protected medical devices. A minimum
separation of 6 inches (20 cm.) should be maintained between a handheld wireless
phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. These
recommendations are consistent with the independent research by and
recommendations of Wireless Technology Research. Some digital wireless phones
may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of such interference, you may want
to consult your service provider.

Draft

Consult a physician or the manufacturer of the medical device to determine if they are
adequately shielded from external RF energy or if you have any questions.

Restricted Areas

Switch off your phone in health care facilities when any regulations posted in these
areas instruct you to do so.

Medical Facilities
Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment that could be sensitive to
external RF energy. Switch your phone off in any facility where posted notices so
require.

Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Users are advised to turn off the 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. Turn 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), chemical plants or where blasting operations are in progress. Areas with a
potentially explosive atmosphere are often but not always clearly marked. They
include service stations, below deck on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage
facilities.

Do not store or carry flammable liquids, gases or explosive materials in the same
compartment as the phone, its parts or accessories.

Vehicles
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
which may apply to the unit. Check regularly that all wireless phone equipment in your
vehicle is mounted and operating properly.

Do not place objects, including installed or portable wireless equipment, in the area
over the air bag or in the air bag deployment area. If in-vehicle wireless equipment is
improperly installed and the air bag inflates, serious injury could result.

Aircraft
Switch off your phone before boarding an aircraft. The use of wireless telephones in
an aircraft may be dangerous to the operation of the aircraft, disrupt the wireless
telephone network and may be illegal. When boarding an aircraft, set the radio
transmitter mode off on your phone to avoid potential interference with aircraft radio
communication or navigation equipment.

Emergency Calls

IMPORTANT!
Like any wireless phone, this 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 upon any
wireless phone for essential communications (e.g. medical emergencies).

You must be in a service area with adequate signal strength to use the phone.
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.

Important Battery Information

The battery can be charged and discharged hundreds of times but it will eventually
wear out. When the operating time is noticeably shorter than normal, it is time to buy
a new battery. Use only batteries approved by the phone manufacturer and recharge
your battery only with the chargers approved by the manufacturer. When a charger is
not in use, disconnect it from the power source. Do not leave the battery connected to
a charger for longer than a week. Overcharging may shorten its life. If left unused a
fully charged battery will discharge itself over time.

Follow these guidelines to get the best battery performance:

• Temperature extremes will affect the ability of your battery to charge: allow it to
cool down or warm up first.

• Leaving the battery in hot or cold places, such as in a closed car in summer or
winter conditions, will reduce the capacity and lifetime of the battery. Always try
to keep the battery between 59° F and 77° F (15° C and 25° C). A phone with a
hot or cold battery may temporarily not work, even when the battery is fully
charged. NiMH batteries’ performance is particularly limited in temperatures
below 14° F (-10° C). Li-ion batteries’ performance is particularly limited in
temperatures below 32° F (0° C).

• Accidental short circuiting can occur when a metallic object (coin, clip, or pen)
causes direct connection of the + and - terminals of the battery (metal strips on
the back of the battery). Short circuiting the terminals may damage the battery or
the connecting object.

• Never use any charger or battery which is damaged or worn out.

• Do not dispose of batteries in a fire.

• Batteries must not be disposed of in municipal waste. Recycled or disposed of

properly.

Care and Maintenance

Your phone is a durable, reliable, and a dependable device, but it is a precision
electronic product.
When using your phone, battery, charger, OR any accessory:

• Keep phone and all its parts and accessories away from small children.

• Do not store it in hot areas. High temperatures can shorten the life of electronic

devices, damage batteries, and warp or melt certain plastics.

• Keep it dry. Precipitation, humidity and liquids contain minerals that will corrode
electronic circuits.

• Do not use or store it in dusty, dirty areas.

• Do not store it in cold areas. When the phone warms up (to its normal operating

temperature), moisture can form inside the phone, which may damage the
phone's electronic circuit boards.

• Do not attempt to open it. Non-expert handling of the device may damage it.
