Precautions

Radio waves
Your cellular mobile phone is a low power radio transmitter and receiver. When it is operating, it
sends and receives radio waves. The radio waves carry your voice or data signal to a base station that is connected to the telephone network. The
network controls the power at which the phone transmits.
Your phone transmits/receives radio waves in the GSM frequen cy (900 / 1800MHz).
The GSM network controls transmission power (0.01 to 2 watts).
Your phone complies with all relevant safety standards.
The CE mark on your phone shows compliancy with European electromagnetic compatibility (Ref. 89/336/ EEC) and low voltage directives (Ref. 73/23/EEC).
Your cellular mobile phone is your responsibility. To avoid damage to yourself, to others or to the phone itself, read and follow all the safety instructions and make them known to anyone borrowing your phone. Furthermore to prevent unauthorised use of your phone:
Keep your phone in a safe place and keep it out of small children's reach. Avoid writing down your PIN code. Try to re­member it instead. Switch off the phone and remove the battery if you
are going to leave it unused for a long time.
Security
Use the purchasing the phone and to activate call restriction options.
menu to change the PIN code after
The design of your phone complies with all applicable laws and regulations. However your phone may cause i nterference with other electronic devices. Consequently you should follow all local recommendations and regulations when using
your cellular phone both at home and when away.
Regulations on the use of cellular phones in vehicles and aircraft are par ticularly stringent.
Public concern has been focused for some time on the possible health risks for users of cellular phones. The current research on radio wave technology, including the GSM technology, has been reviewed and safety standard s have been dr awn up to ensure protection from exposure to radio wave energy. Your cellular telephone complies with all applicable safety standards and the Radio Equipment and Telecommunications Terminal Equipment Directive 1999/ 5/EC.
Always switch off your phone
Inadequately protected or sensitive electronic equipment may be affected by radio energy. This interference can lead to accidents.
Before boarding an aircraft and/or when packing the phone in your luggage: the use of mobile phones in an aircraft may be dangerous for the operation of the aircraf t, disrupt th e mobile phones network and may be illegal.
In hospitals, clinics, other health care centres and anywhere else where you may be in the close vicini ty of medic
al equ
ipment.
Precautions 31
Page 37
In areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere (e.g. petrol stations and also areas where the air contains dust particles, such as metal powders) . In a vehicle transporting flammable products (even if the vehicle is parked) or a vehicle powered by
liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), check first that the vehicle complies with the applicable safety rules. In areas where you are requested to turn off radio transmitting devices, such as quarries or other areas where blasting operations are in progress.
Check with the vehicle manufacturer that electronic equipment used in your vehicle will not be affected by radio energy.
Users of pacemakers
If you are a user of a pacemaker:
Always keep the phone more than 15 cm from your pacemaker when the phone is switched on, in order to avoid potential interference.
Do not carry the phone in a breastpocket.
Use the ear opposite to the pacemaker to minimise the potential interference.
Switch off your phone if you suspect that interference is taking place.
Users of hearing aids
If you are a user of a hearing aid, consult your physician and hearing aid manufacturer to learn whether your particular device is susceptible to cell ular phone interferen ce.
Performance improvement
In order to improve the performance of your phone, reduce radio energy emission, reduce battery consumption and
ensure safe operation adhere to the following guidelines:
For the optimal and satisfactory operation of the phone you are recommended to use the phone in the normal operating position (when not using in hands-free mode or with a hands-free accessory).
Do not expose your phone to extreme temperatures.
Treat the phone with care. Any misuse will void the International Guarantee.
Do not immerse the pho ne in any liquid; if your phone is damp, switch it off, remove the battery and let them dry for 24hrs before usin g them again.
To clean the phone, wipe it with a soft cloth.
Placing and receivin g calls consumes the same amount of batter y energy. However, the mobile consumes less energy in idle screen when kept in the same place. When in idle screen and while you are moving, your phone consumes energy to transmit updated location information to the network. Setting the backlight for a shorter period of time as well as avoiding unnecessary navigating in the menus will also help to save the bat­tery’s energy for longer phoning and stand-by perform­ances.
Information displayed on the battery
Your phone is powered by a rechargeable battery.
•Use specified charger only.
Do not incinerate.
32 Precautions
Page 38
Do not deform or open the battery.
Do not allow metal objects (such as keys in your pocket) to short circuit the battery contacts.
Avoid exposure to excessive heat (>60°C or 140°F), moisture or caustic environments.
You should only use Philips Authentic Accesso ries, as the use of any other accessories may damage your phone and will make all guarantees for your Philips
phone null and void. Make sure damaged parts are replaced immediately by a qualified technician and that they are replaced with genuine Philips replacement parts.
Do not use your phone while driving
It lowers concentration, which can be dangerous. Adhere to the following guidelines: Give your full attention to driving. Pull off the road and park before using the phone. Respect the local
regulations in countries where you drive and use your GSM phone. If you want to use your phone in a vehicle, install the hands-free car kit which is designed for that purpose, still ensuring you give full attention to driving. Ensure that your phone and car kit do not block any air bags or other security devices fitted in your car. The use of an alarm system to operate a vehicle's light or horn to indicate incoming phone calls i s prohibited on public roads in some countries. Check local regulations.
EN 60950 Norm
In case of hot weather or after a prolonged exposure to the sun (e.g. behind a window or a windscreen), the temperature of your phone's casing might increase, especially when featuring a metallic finish. Be very careful in this case when picking up your phone and also avoid using it with an ambient temperature over 40°C.
Environmental care
Remember to observe the local regulations regarding the disposal of your packaging materials, exhausted batteries and old phone and please promote their recycling.
Philips has marked the battery and packaging with standard symbols designed to promote the recycling and appropriate disposal of your eventual waste.
The battery should not be disposed of with general household waste.
The labelled packaging material is recyclable.
A financial contribution has been made to the associated national packaging recovery and recycling system (e.g. EcoEmballage in France).
The materials are recyclable (also identifies the plastic material).

Troubleshooting

The phone does not switch on
The display shows BLOCKED when you switch on
The display shows IMSI failure
Remove and reinstall the battery (see page 1). Make sure you plugged the jack of the charger into the correct connector (see page 2). Then charge the phone until the battery icon has stopped scrolling. Finally, unplug from the charger and try to switch the mobile on.
Somebody tried to use your phone but didn’t know the PIN code nor the unblocking code (PUK). Contact your service provider.
This problem is related to your subscription. Contact your operator.
The symbol is not displayed
The display doesn’t respond (or the display responds slowly) to key presses
The network connection is lost. Either you are in a radio shadow (in a t unnel or between tall buildings) or you are outside the network coverage area. Try from another place, try to reconnect to the network (especially when abroad), check that the antenna is in place if your mobile has an external antenna, or contact your network operator for assistance/information about the network.
The display responds more slowly at very low temperatures. This is normal and does not affect the operation of the phone. Take the phone to a warmer place and try again. In other cases ple ase contact your phone supplier.

When attempting to use a feature in the menu, the mobil e displays NOT ALLOWED
The display shows I NSERT YO U R SIM CARD
The autonomy of your phone seems lower that indicated in the user guide
Some features are network dependent. They are only available, therefore, if the network or your subscription supports them. Contact your operator for detailed information on this subject.
Check that the SIM card has been inserted in the right position (see page 1). If the problem remains, your SIM card might be damaged. Contact your operator.
The autonomy is linked to your settings (e.g. ringer volume, backlight duration) and the features you use. To increase the autonomy, and whenever possible, you must deactivate features you do not use.
Your phone does n’t work well in your car
Your phone is not charging
A car contains many metallic parts that absorb elector­magnetic waves which can affect the phone’s performances. A car kit is available to provide you with an external antenna and enables you to make and receive phone calls without handling the handset. Check with local authorities if you are allowed to use the phone whilst driving.
Make sure you plugged the jack of the charger into the correct connector (see “Charge the battery” page 2). If your battery is completely flat, it might take several minutes of pre-charge (up to 5 in some cases) before the charging icon is displayed on the screen.

SAR Information - EU (RTTE)
THIS MODEL PHONE MEETS THE EU REQUIREMENTS
Your mobile phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy recommended by the Council of the European Union. These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines were developed by independent scientific organisations 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. The exposure standard for mobile phones employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit recommended by the Council of the European Union is 2.0 W/kg. Tests for SAR have been conducted using standard operating positions with the phone transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the phone while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the phone is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the power required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a base station antenna, the lower the power output. Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, compliance with the European RTTE directive must be shown. This directive includes as one essential requirement the protection of the health and the safety for the user and any other person. The highest SAR value for this Philips 162 / CT 1628 model phone when tested for compliance against the standard was 0.506 W/kg. While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones and at various positions, they all meet the EU requirements for RF exposure.
