Safety Information

For your safety, please read the guidelines below carefully before you use your phone:
Exposure to Radio Frequency Signals
Max. SAR measurement
EU: GSM900: 0.344 mW/g; DCS1800: 0.404 mW/g. USA: PCS1900: 0.875 mW/g.
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 Elektringenieure (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 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.
Safety Information i
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.
Do not expose your phone to temperatures below -10° C (+ 14° F) or
above 45° C (+ 113° F). Always take your phone with you when you leave your vehicle.
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.
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:
ii Safety Information
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 six (6") 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. 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.
Safety Information iii
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.
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.
iv Safety Information
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.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
1. this device may not cause harmful interference, and
2. this device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation.
European Union Directives Conformance Statement
This device complies with the OJ-Directive as below:
Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive (89/336/EEC), Low Voltage Directive (73/23/EEC) And R&TTE Directive (99/05/EEC).
And also complies with the standard:
3GPP TS 51.010-1 EN 301 511 EN 30360/ EN30361 ETSI EN 301 489-1/-7 EN 60950

4 Preparing Your Phone For Use

Tur nin g the Pho ne O n

1. Open the phone's flip.
2. Press and hold to turn the phone on. The phone will display the
welcome animation.
You can select and set a welcome animation. Go to the menu: Settings > Display > Welcome Animation > Power On. For details, please refer to page 162.

to delete incorrect numerals individually; press (Clear) to delete all numerals that have been entered. After completing entry of your
PIN1 number, press (OK) or to confirm.
The PIN (Personal Identification Number) is a password provided by
a network operator with a SIM card. You need this password in order to use the SIM card.
If you enter the PIN incorrectly 3 times in a row, the SIM card will lock down and no longer be usable. If this happens, you must enter the PUK (Personal Unblocking Key) for that SIM card in order to unlock it. Please contact your network operator to obtain a PUK.
To cancel PIN password authentication, go to the menu Settings > Security > PIN Code. See page 169.
4. When the PIN code entered has been accepted, the phone will
automatically search for the designated network. This search process may take a few seconds.
