Safety Information

For your safety, please read the guidelines below carefully before you use your phone:

Exposure to Radio Frequency Signals

! For your safety, please do not wear the phone in front of your chest.

SAR compliance for body-worn operations is restricted to belt-clips, holsters or similar accessories that have no metallic component in the assembly and must provide at least 1.5 cm separation between the device, including its antenna, and the user's body.

Your wireless handheld portable telephone is a low power transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it receives and also sends out radio frequency (RF) signals.

European and international agencies have set standards and recommendations for the protection of public exposure to RF electromagnetic energy.

• International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection

(ICNIRP) 1996

• Verband Deutscher Elektroingenieure (VDE) DIN- 0848

• Directives of the European Community, Directorate General V in

Matters of Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Energy

• National Radiological Protection Board of the United Kingdom, GS 11,

1988

• American National Standards Institute (ANSI) IEEE. C95.1- 1992

• National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP).

Report 86

• Department of Health and Welfare Canada. Safety Code 6

Safety Information i

These standards are based on extensive scientific review. For example, over 120 scientists, engineers and physicians from universities, government health agencies and industry reviewed the available body of research to develop the updated ANSI Standard.

The design of your phone complies with these standards when used normally.

Specific Operating Restrictions

No metallic component allowed in body-worn accessories.

Antenna Care

Use only the supplied or approved replacement antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications or attachments may damage the phone and violate FCC regulations.

Phone Operation

Normal Position: Hold the phone as you would any other telephone with the antenna pointed up and over your shoulder.

For your phone to operate most efficiently, do not touch the antenna unnecessarily when the phone is in use. Contact with the antenna affects call quality and may cause the phone to operate at higher power level than otherwise needed.

Batteries

• For safety concerns, when the temperature of the phone goes over

45°C (113°F) or below 0°C (32°F), charging will halt.

• Do not expose batteries to temperatures below 0°C (32°F) or above

45°C (113°F). Always take your phone with you when you leave your vehicle.

ii Safety Information

All batteries can cause property damage, injury or burns if a conductive material such as jewelry, keys or beaded chains touches exposed terminals. The material may complete electrical circuit and become quite hot. To protect against such unwanted current drain, exercise care in handling any charged battery, particularly when placing it inside your pocket, purse or other container with metal objects. When battery is detached from the phone, your batteries are packed with a protective battery cover; please use this cover for storing your batteries when not in use.

Driving

Check the laws and regulations on the use of wireless telephones in the areas where you drive. Always obey them. Also, if using your phone while driving, please:

• Give full attention to driving--driving safety is your first responsibility.

• Use hands-free operation, if available.

• Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving

conditions so require.

Electronic Devices

Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF signals. However, certain electronic equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals from your wireless phone.

Pacemakers

The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum separation of 20 cm/9 inches be maintained between a handheld wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with the independent research by and recommendations of Wireless Technology Research.

Safety Information iii

Persons with pacemakers:

• Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than six inches from their

pacemaker when the phone is turned ON.

• Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket.

• Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential

for interference.

If you have any reason to suspect that the interference is taking place, turn your phone OFF immediately.

Hearing Aids

Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of such interference you may want to consult your hearing aid manufacturer to discuss alternatives.

Other Medical Devices

If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of your device to determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this information.

Turn your phone OFF in health care facilities when any regulations posted in these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment that could be sensitive to external RF energy.

Ve h i c l e s

RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or its representative regarding your vehicle. You should also consult the manufacturer of any equipment that has been added to your vehicle.

iv Safety Information

Posted Facilities

Turn your phone OFF in any facility where posted notice so requires.

Aircraft

FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while in the air. Switch OFF your phone before boarding an aircraft.

Blasting Areas

To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your phone OFF when in a “blasting area” or in area posted “TURN OFF TWO-WAY RADIO.” Obey all signs and instructions.

Potentially Explosive Atmospheres

Turn your phone OFF and do not remove the battery when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere and obey all signs and instructions. Sparks, from your battery, in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.

Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always clearly marked. They include fueling areas such as gasoline stations; below deck on boats; fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities; vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane); areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders; and any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine.

For Vehicles Equipped with an Air Bag

An air bag inflates with great force. DO NOT place objects, including both installed or portable wireless equipment, in the area over the air bag or in the air bag deployment area. If in-vehicle wireless equipment is improperly installed and the air bag inflates, serious injury could result.

Safety Information v

Information for parents

viii Safety precautions

The mains voltage specified on the power supply unit (V) must not be exceeded. Otherwise the charging device may be destroyed.

The power supply must be plugged into an easily accessible AC mains power socket when charging the battery. The only way to turn off the charging device after charging the battery is to unplug it.

The ringtones, info tones and handsfree talking are reproduced through the loudspeaker. Do not hold the phone to your ear when it rings or when you have switched on the handsfree function. Otherwise you risk serious permanent damage to your hearing.

Only use original batteries (100 % mercury-free) and – charging devices. Otherwise you risk serious damage to health and property. The battery could explode, for instance.

You may only open the phone to replace the battery (100 % mercury-free) or SIM card. You must not open the battery under any circumstances. All other changes to this device are strictly prohibited and will invalidate the guarantee.

All electrical and electronic products should be disposed of separately from the municipal waste stream via designated collection facilities appointed by the government or the local authorities.

This crossed-out wheeled bin symbol on the product means the product is covered by the European Directive 2002/96/EC.

The correct disposal and separate collection of your old appliance will help prevent potential negative consequences for the environment and human health. It is a precondition for reuse and recycling of used electrical and electronic equipment.

For more detailed information about disposal of your old appliance, please contact your city office, waste disposal service or the shop where you purchased the product.

Safety precautions ix

The phone may cause interference in the vicinity of TV sets, radios and PCs.

Bluetooth

Your phone has a Bluetooth interface. This makes it possible to establish a wireless connection of your phone with a headset of a car kit, or with other Bluetooth-enabled devices.

In order to establish a secure link between the devices and to prevent a third party from having access to your phone, you should observe the following points:

• The initial connection between two devices, what is called "pairing", should take place in familiar surroundings.

• Both devices must be able to identify themselves one time by using a password/PIN. To ensure sufficient security, you should choose a 16digit number combination for a password that would be difficult to guess (if a PIN has not been assigned).

• An automatic connection acceptance ("connection without confirmation") should only be used in exceptional cases.

• In general, only trustworthy devices should be linked in order to minimize security risks.

• You should restrict the "visibility" of your phone if possible. This will make it much more difficult for unknown devices to establish a connection with your phone.

• The name of your phone is transmitted in a Bluetooth connection. The factory default is the "Bluetooth ID". The first time Bluetooth is activated, or later in the Bluetooth menu, you can change this name.

• If Bluetooth is not needed, this function should be deactivated.

x Safety precautions

Before using Bluetooth accessories, or a mobile phone inside a vehicle, check the vehicle user guide for any limitations on the use of these products.

To ensure perfect operation of the phone, please only use the

phone with the keypad completely open or completely closed.
