1. For Your Safety
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 “Important Safety Information” on page 68.
Road Safety Comes First
Don’t use a hand-held phone while driving; 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 When Refueling
Do not use the phone at a refueling point. Do
not use near fuels or chemicals.
Switch Off Near Blasting
Do not use the phone where blasting is in
progress. Observe restrictions, and follow any
regulations or rules in force.
Interference
All mobile phones may get interference which
could affect performance.
Use Sensibly
Use only in the normal position (to ear). Avoid
unnecessary contact with the antenna when
phone is on.
1
Qualified Service
Only qualified service personnel may install or
repair cellular phone equipment. Use only approved accessories and batteries.
FCC/Industry Canada Notice
A cellular phone may cause TV or radio interference
(e.g. when using a phone in close proximity to electronic receiving equipment). The FCC/Industry Canada can require
you to stop using your cellular phone if such interference
cannot be eliminated. If you require assistance, please
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 cause harmful interference.
Using this Guide
The cellular phone described in this guide is approved for
use in AMPS networks.
A number of features included in this guide 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) from your home service provider and obtain
instructions for their use.

Signal Strength Indication
A cellular phone sends and receives radio signals. As with
all radio equipment, the quality of radio reception depends
on the strength of the radio signal in the area where you
are operating your phone.
The strength of the cellular signal is shown by
the vertical bar on the left-hand side of the display. The higher the bar, the stronger the signal
at your present location.

3. Battery Information
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” on
page 10.
A new battery must be charged for a minimum of 12 hours before being used for the
first time. A new battery’s full performance
is achieved only after two or three complete
charge and discharge cycles!
See your cellular service provider or dealer for the battery
options available for your phone.

Note: Switch off the

Charging the Battery
Plug the charger into a wall outlet and connect the charger
to the bottom of your phone.
When charging starts, the battery
segments scroll and the phone
beeps once.
You can use the phone during charging, but charging will be reduced for
the duration of the call.
Note: In a call, charging will stop completely if you are
using the Standard Travel Charger (ACP-7U).
After the segments of the battery indicator stop
scrolling and all segments are displayed, the battery is fully charged. Disconnect the charger from
the power outlet and phone.
If the battery is too hot or cold, the charging may
be interrupted until the battery reaches its normal
operating temperature.
Note: With a new, completely discharged battery, the
phone may take up to 45 minutes to show that charging is
in progress.

Discharging the Battery
A battery lasts longer and performs better if you fully discharge it from time to time. To discharge the battery, leave
your phone switched on until the battery is drained and the
phone turns itself off. Then wait for 30 minutes before connecting to a charging source. (See “Deep Discharge” on
page 9.)
Note: Do not attempt to discharge the battery by any other
means.
Battery Low Warning
You get this message and a warning
tone when the battery charge is low
and only a few minutes of talk time
remain.
8
The repetition rate of the battery-low warnings depends on
the remaining battery capacity and the battery condition.
The warnings are more frequent when you’re in a call.
Note: If you’ve selected the Vibra Only or Silent Ringing
Option, you won’t hear any warning tones. See “Ringing
Options (Menu 3 1)” on page 37.
When the battery charge is too low for the phone to work,
the phone displays
then shuts itself off.
Charge the battery as described earlier in this section.
Deep Discharge
If you regularly just ‘top up’ the charge in your battery without ever allowing it to fully discharge first, its life will be
shortened. In order to get the maximum life from your battery you should allow it to discharge completely about
once a month.
To discharge the battery completely:
Leave the phone switched on until

Important Battery Information
• Use only batteries and chargers approved by the
phone 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 may completely
drain (discharge) in 1 - 4 weeks.
• Never use any charger or battery that is damaged or
worn out.
• Use the battery only for its intended purpose.
• Do not short circuit the battery. Accidental short circuiting can occur when a metallic object (e.g. coin,
clip or pen) causes direct connection of the two 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 terminals
may damage the battery or the connecting object.
• 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 41°F and 95°F (5°C and
35°C). A phone with a hot or cold battery may temporarily not work (or charge) even if the battery is fully
charged. NiMH battery performance is particularly
limited in temperatures below 14°F (-10°C).
10
• Temperature extremes affect the ability of your battery
to charge: it may require cooling or warming first.
• When the battery is not in use, store it uncharged in a
cool, dark and dry place.
• The battery is a sealed unit with no serviceable parts.
Do not attempt to open the case.
• It is recommended that you allow your battery to fully
discharge before you recharge it.
• The battery can be charged and discharged hundreds of times but will eventually wear out. When the
operating time is shorter than normal, it is time to buy
a new battery.
• Do not dispose of a battery in a fire!
Dispose of used batteries in accordance with local regulations. Recycle!
Nickel Cadmium and Nickel Metal Hydride batteries must be recycled or
NiCd
NiMH
disposed of properly. They must not
be disposed of in municipal waste.

NORMAL POSITION: Hold the phone as you would any other telephone with the antenna pointed up and over your shoulder.
TIPS ON EFFICIENT OPERATION: Extend your antenna fully when
in calls. As with any other radio transmitting device, avoid unnecessary contact with the antenna when the phone is switched on.
Contact with the antenna affects call quality and may cause the
phone to operate at a higher power level than otherwise needed.
WARNING! Do not switch the phone on when cellular phone use
is prohibited or when it may cause interference or danger.

Selecting a Network
Your phone operates on specific networks and sometimes
it must choose which system to use. This can happen, for
example, if you are roaming (i.e. you leave the area where
you have signed up for service).
If you w ant your phone to work onl y in cert ai n typ es of networks (for example, to take advantage of certain billing
agreements between systems), you can specify this using
