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.

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 andregulations 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 safetystandards and the Radio Equipment and
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.
EN60950 Norm

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:
