1. Getting Started

Please read through the safety instructions in the “Precautions” section before use (please see page 57).
Before you start using your phone, you must insert a valid SIM card supplied by your GSM operator or retailer. The SIM card contains your subscription information, your mobile telephone number, and a small quantity of memory in which you can store phone numbers and messages (for more information, see “Contacts” on page 43).

Insert the SIM card

Press down the latch (1) and then lift up the door of the battery compartment (2).
To remove the battery, press down the latch (1) and lift up the battery (2).
If your SIM card is delivered in a credit-card size, remove it from its holder and insert it under the metal clip holder, until it stops. Make sure that the clipped corner of the card is in the correct corner and that the gold contacts are facing down.
Getting Started 1
Slide the battery back into the compartment with metallic connectors downwards, until it stops. Then lock it by pushing it downwards.
more information on PIN codes, see “Security” on page 53.
If you enter an incorrect PIN code 3 times, your SIM card will be blocked. To unblock it, you must request the PUK code from your operator.

Charging the battery via USB

Replace the back cover by pushing it down into its slots, until it stops.
Remove the protective film covering the screen and the camera lens before using the phone.
Your phone is powered by a rechargeable battery. A new battery is partially charged and an alarm will warn you when the battery level is low. Once the battery and the batter cover are clipped on the phone you can charge the phone. Pull away the protective rubber cap covering the charger connector (it is attached to the phone so that you cannot lost it). Plug in the connector as shown below. Then plug it into a main AC power socket.

Switching on the phone

To switch on the phone, long press the key. Enter the PIN code if required (i.e. the 4- to 8-digit secret code of your SIM card). It is preconfigured and communicated to you by your operator or retailer. For
2 Getting Started
The battery symbol indicates the state of charge. During charging, the three charge indicators scroll; the maximum charge time for empty battery is 3 hours for a standard charger. When all three bars are steady, the battery is fully charged. You can then disconnect the charger. Depending on the network and condition of use, talk time goes up to 4 hours and stand-by time up to 300 hours. Keeping the charger plugged to the mobile when the battery is fully charged will not damage the battery. The only way to turn off the charger is to unplug it., so use an easily accessible AC power socket.
You may lose all your personal settings if you remove the battery when the phone is switched on.

Copying the contents of your SIM

If you are transferring your SIM card from another phone, you may want to copy the contents of your SIM phonebook to your Philips 960 mobile phone. To do so, proceed as follows:
1.
From the Home screen, press and select
Contacts.
2.
To copy all contacts, select Advanced. Then select Copy to Phone. A message "Copy all
entries to phone? " appears. Press Yes to
proceed or No to cancel.
3.
To copy only one entry, from the home screen, press and select Contacts. Then select View contacts. Browse in the contacts list to select one of the entries and press options to select Copy contact to phone. A message "Copy entry to phone? " appears. Press Yes to proceed or No to cancel.
For more information on managing your phonebooks, please see “Contacts” on page 43.

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 frequency (900 / 1800 / 1900 MHz).
• 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 unauthorized 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. Change your PIN code after purchasing the phone and to activate call restriction options.
The design of your phone complies with all
applicable laws and regulations. However
your phone may cause interference 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 particularly 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 standards have been drawn up to ensure protection from exposure to radio wave energy. Your cellular telephone complies with all applicable safety standards and the Radio Equipment and
57
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 aircraft, disrupt the mobile phones network and may be illegal.
In hospitals, clinics, other health care
centres and anywhere else where you may be
in the close vicinity of medical equipment.
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.
58
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.
Pacemakers
If you have 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 breast pocket.
• Use the ear opposite to the pacemaker to minimize 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 cellular phone interference.
Improved performance
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 phone in any liquid; if your phone is damp, switch it off, remove the battery. and let them dry for 24hrs before using them again.
• To clean the phone, wipe it with a soft cloth.
• Placing and receiving calls consumes the same amount of battery 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.
Battery information
• Your phone is powered by a rechargeable battery.
• Use specified charger only.
• Do not incinerate.
• 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 Accessories, 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.
59
Do not use your phone while driving
Speaking on the telephone while driving lowers your 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.
• 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 is prohibited on public roads in some countries. Check local regulations.

SAR Information - EU (RTTE)

THIS MODEL PHONE MEETS THE EU & FCC 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 organizations 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 960 mobile phone when tested for compliance against the standard was
0.653 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.
For body worn operation, this phone has been tested and meets the Federal Communications Commission RF exposure guidelines when used with the Philips accessories supplied. Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines. The SAR limit set by the Federal Communications Commission of the U.S. Government is 1.6 W/kg. The highest reported SAR values are: Head:
