Tips

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.

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.

How to prolong the battery life of your phone

To have your mobile phone function properly, sufficient battery power is important. For the power­saving purpose, do the following, if applicable:

•

Turn off the Bluetooth function of your phone.

•

Set the backlight level and duration of your phone to a low value.

•

Turn on the auto keypad lock, turn off the key sounds, tap vibration, or vibration alerts.

•

Establish GPRS connection when needed. Otherwise, your phone will keep searching for GPRS
connection, and drain your battery power.

•

Turn off your phone if there is no coverage. Otherwise, the phone will keep searching for
network, and drain your battery power.

Your phone doesn’t return to idle screen

Note:

Long press the hang-up key or switch off the phone, check that the SIM card and the battery are
installed correctly and switch it on again.

The network symbol is not displayed

The network connection is lost. Either you are in a radio shadow (in a tunnel o r 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.

The display doesn’t respond (or the display responds slowly) to key presses

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 please
contact your phone supplier.

Your battery seems to over heat

You might be using a charge r that was not intended fo r use with your phone. Mak e sure you always
use the Philips authentic accessory shipped with your phone.

This feature is network and subscription dependent. If the network doesn’t send the caller’s number,
the phone will display Call 1 or Withheld instead. Contac t your operator for detailed information on
this subject.

You can’t send text messages

Some networks don’t allow message exchanges with other networks. First check that you have
entered the number of your SMS centre, or contact your operator for detailed information on this
subject.

You can’t receive and/or store JPE G pictures

A picture may not be accepted by your mobile phone if it is too large, if its name is too long, or if it
doesn’t have the correct file format.

You feel that you have missed some calls

Check your call divert options.

When charging, the battery icon shows no bar and the outline is flashing

Only charge the battery in an environment where the temperature does not go below 0°C (32°F) or

use. To increase the autonomy, and whenever possible, you must deactivate features you do not use.

Your phone doesn’t work well in your car

A car contains many metallic parts that absorb electromagnetic waves which can affect the phone’s
performance. A car kit is available to provide you with an external antenna and enables you to make
and receive phone calls wit hout handling the handse t.

Health and safety information

Radio Frequency (RF) Energy

This model phone meets the government’s requirements for exposure to radio waves.
This phone is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio
frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission of the U.S. Government:
The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a unit of measurement known as the
Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg. Tests for SAR are

conducted using standard operating positions accepted by the FCC with the phone transmitting at
its highest certified power level in all tested frequen cy band s. Alth ough the SAR is d etermi ned at th e
highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the ph one 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 poser required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base
station antenna, the lower the power output.
The highest SAR value for the model phone as reported to the FCC when tested for use at the ear
is 0.92

3 W

/kg and when worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is 1.133 W/kg (Body-

17

worn measurements differ among phone models, depending upon available enhancements and FCC
requirements).
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones and at various positions,
they all meet the government requirement.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model phone with all reported SAR levels
evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelin es. SAR information on this model
phone is on file with the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section of http://
www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after search ing on
FCC ID:

VQRCTS309

For body worn operation, this phone has been tested and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines for
use with an accessory that contains no metal and the positions the handset a minimum of 1 cm from
the body. Use of other enhancements may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines.
If you do not use a body-worn accessory and are not holding the phone at the ear, position the
handset a minimum of 1 cm from your body when th e phone is switched on.
