1. Safety At A Glance

Read these simple guidelines before using your phone. Failure to comply with these guidelines may be dangerous or illegal.
For more detailed safety information, see For Your Safety on page 64.
Road Safety Comes First
Don't use a hand-held phone while dri ving; park the vehicle first.
Switch Off In Hospitals
Switch off your phone when near medical equip­ment. Follow any regulations or rules in force.
Switch Off On Aircraft
Mobile phones can cause interference. Using them on aircraft is illegal.
Switch Off Wh en Refueling
Do not use your phone at a refueling point. Do not use near fuels or chemicals.
Switch Off Near Blasting
Do not use your phone where a blasting operation is in progress. Observe restrictions, and follow any regulations or rules in force.
Use Sensibly
Use only in the normal position (to ear). Avoid un­necessary contact with the antenna when phone is on.
Interference
All mobile phones may be subject to radio interfer­ence, which may affect the performance of your phone. Therefore, you should never rely solely upon any cellular phone for essential communications (e.g., medical emergencies).
Qualified Service
Only qualified service personnel may install or repair cellular phone equipment. Use only approved ac­cessories and batteries.
1
Using this Owner’s Manual
The wireless phone described in this manual is approved for use in AMPS/CDMA networks.
A number of functions included in this manual are called Network Services. They are special services provided by cellular service providers. Before you can take advantage of any of these Network Services, you must subscribe to the service(s) you require from your home service provider. You can then activate these functions as described in this manual.
The manual activation commands for various network ser­vices are not presented in this manual (e.g. using
and #
characters for activating or deactivating services). Never­theless, your phone is capable of handling commands given in that form. For these commands please consult with your service provider.
FCC/Industry Cana da No t ic e
Your phone may cause TV or radio interference (e.g. when using a telephone in close proximity to receiving equip­ment). The FCC/Industry Canada can require you to stop using your telephone if such interference cannot be elimi­nated. If you require assistance, contact your local service facility.
THIS DEVICE COMPLIES WITH PART 15 OF THE FCC RULES. OPERATION IS SUBJECT TO THE CONDITION THAT THIS DEVICE DOES NOT CAU SE HARMFUL INTERFERENCE.

2. Your Phone’s Battery

When you first opened the box for your phone, you should have found at least one battery and charger, one trans­ceiver, and this user guide. For detailed information on these items, see Accessories on page 58.
To instal l y our battery
Simply (1) place the battery in the grooves on the back of your phone. Then (2) slide the battery upward until it clicks.
To remove your ba tt er y
First switch off your phone. Then (1) press the button on top of your battery, (2) slide the battery back, and (3) lift away from your phone.
3
New batteries must be charged for
at least 24 hours before initial use,
with your phone off. A new batterys
full performance is achieved only
after two or three complete charge
and discharge cycles!
IMPORTANT:
Use only batteries approved by the phone manufacturer and recharge your battery only with the chargers approved by the manufacturer. See Important
battery information on page 6.
When should you charge?
With only a couple of minutes of talk time remaining, your phone will warn you with a tone and
%$77(5< /2: will
appear on your display.
Once all the power has been drained from your battery, youll hear three beeps with the mes-
5(&+$5*( %$77(5< on your display. At this point,
sage your phone will switch itself off.
To charge or recha rg e y ou r b at te ry
You can charge your phone while it is on or off. Simply connect the lead from the charger to the bottom of
phone or
your place it on a charging stand. Then connect the charger to a standard 120V AC outlet.
When the battery begins charging, the battery strength indicator on the right side of the display will scroll and your phone will beep once.
4
When is charging complete?
To allow the battery to completely charge, wait for the charge indicators to stop scrolling. At this point, your phone is considered fully charged. However, a slight increase in charge may occur if the phone is left connected to the charger, this is called trickle charge.
Charging times depend on which type of battery and charger is used. For approximate charging and operating times, see Accessories on page 58.
When charging is completed, disconnect the charger from the AC outlet and from your phone.
Note: When you disconnect the power cord of any acces­sory, grasp and pull the plug, not the cord.
Can you make calls while char g ing ?
Yes, you can. But your battery will not charge while a call is in progress. Charging will resume when you end the call.
What if charging fails ?
If your phone displays 127 &+$5*,1*, charging is sus­pended. Make sure the battery is connected to an approved charging device and that the battery is at room temperature. Extreme temperatures, hot or cold, can af­fect your batterys performance and prevent charging.
If charging still fails, disconnect the charger from your phone. Then reconnect the charger to
phone and re-
your try. If you still experience charging problems, contact your dealer and, if necessary, bring your phone in to have it ser­viced. Also remember to bring in your battery and charger.
To discharge your battery
There are two ways to properly discharge a battery. You can leave your phone on while your battery drains, finally turning itself off. Or you can use the discharge facility of any approved accessory equipped with this feature.
5
Your battery can be charged and discharged hundreds of times but it will eventually wear out. When the operating time is noticeably shorter than normal, and reconditioning fails to extend its life, its time to buy a new battery.
Important battery information
For good operation times, discharge the battery from time to time by leaving your phone switched on until it turns it­self off or by using the battery discharge facility of any approved accessory available for your phone. Do not at­tempt to discharge the battery by any other means.
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, since overcharging may shorten its life.
If left unused, a fully charged battery will discharge itself over time at room temperature.
When the battery is not in use, store it uncharged in a cool, dark and dry place.
Temperature extremes will affect the ability of your battery to charge: it may require cooling or warming first.
Do not short circuit the battery. 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), for example, when you carry a spare battery in your pocket or purse. Short circuiting the terminal may damage the battery or the con­necting object.
Use the battery only for its intended purpose. Never use any charger or battery that is damaged or worn out.
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 battery performance is particularly limited in temperatures below 14°F (-10°C).
6
The battery is a sealed unit with no serviceable parts. Dont attempt to open the case.
Dont dispose of a battery in a fire! Dispose of used batter­ies in accordance with local regulations. Recycle!
Using sumes less power. Keeping the antenna fully extended whenever possible maintains the connection to the net­work with less power.
Your phone switches itself off if the operating temperature of after 12 hours if connected to a Compact Handsfree Car Kit.
When the battery charge is very low, the power at which it transmits radio signals to extend the talk time. This may affect the quality of calls.
In some vehicles, the ignition must be on in order to charge your phone with the Mobile Charger.

3. Signal Strength

Your phone operates on radio waves, and the quality of ra­dio reception depends entirely on the strength of the radio signal in your area.
Because the radio coverage is maintained by a wireless network, the quality of calls on a wireless phone depends on the strength of the wireless radio signal.
The stronger the radio signal, the better the call quality. A strong signal is indicated by the signal indicators on the left side of your phones dis­play, which scroll as the strength of the signal increases and decreases.
Increasing your phones signal may be easy. Try moving your phone slightly, or move towards a window if youre calling from inside a building.

Unavailable service
When network service is unavailable from your service provider or its affili­ates, emergency calls may be possible via other networks to their designated emergency number only (e.g. 911 or some other official emergency number).
Your phones display will remain empty, but a at the top of your screen. No other calls can be made or received.

4. The Basics

Your phone has many different features, some more ad­vanced than others. This chapter highlights some very basic features which you are most likely to use every day.

Cool Features

Did you know that you can lock the keys on your phone to prevent accidental key presses and phone calls? Or that your phone can display a reminder message whenever you turn it on? You can also stop your phone from ringing without even answering the call. These are called Cool Features.
These are just some of the many Cool Features youll find in your phone. Look for the icon throughout this own­ers manual to see how you can use these Cool Features.

To Switch Your Phone On

1) Press and hold ð for about three seconds
2) If you want to make a call, fully extend the
antenna for optimum performance
Note: As with any other radio device, avoid any unnecessary contact with the antenna when your phone is on.
