1. Important Safety Information
Traffic Safety
Do not use a hand-held telephone while driving a
vehicle. If using a hand-held telephone park the vehicle
before conversing.
Always secure the phone in its holder; do not place the
phone on the passengerseat or where it can break
loose in a collisionor sudden stop.
The use of an alert deviceto operate a vehicle’s lights
or horn on public roads is not permitted.
Remember road safety always comes first!
Operating Environment
Remember to followany special regulationsin 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.
Operation of any radio transmitting equipment,
including PCS1900 telephones, may interfere with the
functionality of inadequately protected medical devices.
Consult a physician or the manufacturer of the medical
device if you have any questions. Other electronic
equipment may also be subject to interference.
As with othermobile radio transmitting equipment,
users are advised that for the satisfactory operation of
the equipment and for the safety of personnel, it is
recommended that the equipment should only be used
in the normal operating position.
Users are advised to switch off the phone when 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.
1
Do not store or carry flammable liquids, gases or
explosive materials in the same compartments as the
phone, its parts or accessories.
Only qualified personnel should install or service the
phone in a vehicle. Faulty installationor service may be
dangerous and may invalidate the warranty.
Electronic fuel injection systems, electronic anti-skid
braking systems, electronic cruise control systems and
other electronic systems can malfunction due to the
lack of protection from radio signals.
Check regularly that all PCS1900 phoneequipment in a
vehicle is mounted and operating properly.
Switch off your PCS1900 phone whenin an aircraft.
The use of PCS1900 telephones in an aircraft may be
dangerous to the operation of the aircraft,disrupt the
PCS1900 network, andis illegal.
Failure to observe these instructions may lead to
suspension or denial of PCS1900 telephone services to
the offender, or legal action or both.
Emergency Calls
IMPORTANT!
This phone, like any PCS1900 telephone, operates
using radio signals, PCS1900 and landline networks,
and user-programmed functions which cannot
guarantee connection in all conditions. Therefore you
should never rely solely upon any PCS1900 phone for
essential communications (e.g. medical emergencies).
Remember, to make or receive any calls this phone
must be switched on and in a service areawith
adequate PCS1900 signal strength. Emergency calls
may not be possibleon all PCS1900 networks or when
certain network services and/or phone features are in
use. Check withlocal service providers.

When making an emergency call, remember to give all
the necessary information as accurately as possible.
Remember that yourPCS1900 phone may be the only
means of communicationat the scene of an accident –
do not cut off the call until given permission to do so.
If certain features are in use (such as Key Lock),you
may first need to turn those features off before you can
make an emergency call. Consult this document and
your local PCS1900 service provider.

2. The Battery and SIM Card
The Battery
Your phone is powered by a rechargeable battery. Use
only batteries approved by the phone manufacturer and
recharge your battery only with the chargers approved
by the manufacturer. See“Important Battery
Information” later in this section.
New batteries must be charged with
the phone off for at least24 hours
before initial use. A new battery’sfull
performance is achieved only after
two or three complete charge and
discharge cycles!
Note: See “Accessories”for more information on
chargers and other accessories.
Installing a Battery
Removing a Battery
Switch off the phone before removing the battery.

Charging a New Battery or Recharging
a Battery
Connect the charger to the phone before pluggingthe
charger into a standard120V AC outlet.
The battery segments scroll to
show that the battery is
charging. Allow the battery to
completely charge. See the
“Accessories” chapter for
information on battery
charging times.
Charging is finished when the segments
stop scrolling.
When charging is finished, disconnect
the charger from the AC outlet and from
the phone.
Using the phone near the network’s base
station consumes less power. Keeping the
antenna fully extended whenever possible
maintains the connection to the networkwith
less power.
Discharging the Battery
Either leave your phone switched on untilit turns itself
off or use the battery discharge facilityof any approved
accessory available for your phone. The battery can be
charged and dischargedhundreds of times but it will
6
eventually wear out. When the operating time is
noticeably shorter than normal, it is time to buy anew
battery.
Battery Low/Recharge
You get this message and hear
two short beepswhen a couple of
minutes of talk time remain. When
no more batterypower remains,
you get another tone and the
message RECHARGE BATTERY.
The phone switchesitself off.
If the message NOT CHARGING is displayed, charging is
suspended. Check that the battery is not overheated
(over 104°F/40°C), too cold, or connected to a
non-approved charging device. Wait for a while,
connect the charger to the phone again and retry. If
charging still fails, contact your dealer.
Important Battery Information
For good operationtimes, discharge the battery from
time to time byleaving your phone switched onuntil it
turns itself off or by using the battery discharge facility
of any approvedaccessory 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 thana week; overcharging may
shorten its life.
If left unused,a fully charged batterywill discharge itself
in about a week at room temperature.
It is recommendedthat you allow your batteryto fully
discharge before you recharge it.
When the battery is not in use, store it unchargedin a
cool, dark and dryplace.

Temperature extremes affect the ability of your battery
to charge: it may require cooling or warming first.
Do not short circuit the battery. Accidentalshort
circuiting can occur when a metallic object (e.g. coin,
clip, or pen) causes direct connection of the + and terminals of the battery(metal strips on the back of the
battery), for examplewhen you carry a spare battery in
your pocket or purse. Short circuiting the terminal may
damage the batteryor 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, reduces 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 if the battery is fully charged. NiMH battery
performance is particularly limited in temperatures
below 14°F (-10°C).
The battery is a sealed unit with no serviceable parts.
Do not attempt to open the case.
Do not dispose of a battery in a fire! Dispose of used
batteries in accordance with localregulations. Recycle!
