Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use
Read this information before using your portable phone
General
Since its introduction in the mid 1980s the portable
phone is one of the most exciting and innovative products ever developed. With it, you can stay in contact
with your office, your home, emergency services, and
others.
Your telephone is a radio transmitter and receiver.
When it is ON it receives and also sends out radio frequency (RF) energy. Depending upon the type of mobile phone you have purchased, it operates in different
frequency ranges and employs commonly used modulation techniques. When you use your phone, the system handling your call controls the power level at
which your phone transmits.
For safe and efficient operation of your phone, observe
these guidelines.
Exposure to Radio Frequency Energy
The International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP), sponsored by the World
Health Organization (WHO), published a statement in
1996 which sets limits for exposure to RF fields from
handheld mobile phone. According to this statement,
which is based on the available body of research, there
is no evidence that mobile terminals meeting the recommended limits can cause any adverse health effects.
All Ericsson telephones conform to the ICNIRP rec-
ommendations, and international exposure standards,
such as:
CENELEC European
•
Pre-standard ENV50166-2
ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1992 (USA, Asia-Pacific)
•
If you want to limit RF exposure even further, you
may choose to control the duration of your calls and
operate your phone in the most power efficient manner.
Efficient Phone Operation
How to use your phone for optimum performance with
minimum power consumption:
• Hold the phone as you would any other telephone.
While speaking directly into the mouthpiece, angle
the antenna in a direction up and over your shoulder. If the antenna is extendable, it should be extended during a call.
•
Do not hold the antenna when the phone is in use.
Holding the antenna affects call quality, may cause
the phone to operate at a higher power level than
needed and shorten talk and standby times.
Antenna Care and Replacement
The antenna is sensitive and should not be bent since
this will reduce its performance.
Do not use the phone with a damaged antenna. Replace a damaged antenna immediately. Consult your
manual to see if you may change the antenna yourself.
If so, use only an Ericsson approved antenna. Otherwise, take your phone to a qualified service centre for
repair.
Use only the designated Ericsson antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could
damage the phone and may violate the appropriate
regulations.
Do not use an antenna designed for any other type of
portable telephone than the telephone you have purchased.
Driving
Check the laws and regulations on the use of telephones in the areas where you drive. Always obey
them. Also, when using your phone while driving,
please:
•
Give full attention to driving.
•
Use handsfree operation, if available.
•
Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving conditions so require.
RF energy may affect some electronic systems in motor vehicles. In addition, some vehicle manufacturers
forbid the use of mobile phones in their vehicles.
Check with your vehicle manufacturer's representative
to be sure your phone will not affect the electronic
systems of your vehicle.
Electronic devices
LZT 126 1352/x R1B i
Most modern electronic equipment, for example,
equipment in hospitals and cars, is shielded from RF
energy. However, RF energy from telephones may affect some electronic equipment.
Turn your phone OFF in health care facilities when
regulations posted in the areas instruct you to do so.
Always request permission before using your phone
near medical equipment.
Mobile telephones may affect the operation of some
implanted cardiac pacemakers, equipment for people
with hearing impairments and other medically implanted equipment. Pacemaker patients should be
aware that the use of a mobile phone very close to a
pacemaker may cause the device to malfunction.
Avoid placing the phone over the pacemaker, i.e. in
your breast pocket. When using the phone, place it at
your ear opposite the pacemaker. If a distance of 15
cm is kept between the phone and the pacemaker, the
risk of interference is limited. Contact your cardiologist for more information.
Aircraft
Turn your phone OFF before boarding any aircraft.
•
Use it on the ground only with crew permission
•
Turn off your phone before the aircraft leaves the
ground. Do not use it in the air.
To prevent possible interference with aircraft systems,
safety regulations require you to have permission from
a crew member to use your phone while the plane is
on the ground. To prevent interference with communication systems, you must not use your phone while
the plane is in the air.
Power Supply
Connect AC (Power supply) only to designated
•
power sources as marked on the product.
To reduce risk of damage to electric cord, remove
•
from outlet by holding onto AC adapter rather than
cord.
Make sure the cord is located so that it will not be
•
stepped on, tripped over or otherwise subjected to
damage or stress.
To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug unit from
•
power source before attempting any cleaning, then
use soft cloth dampened on with water.
Children
Do not allow children to play with your phone. Children could hurt themselves or others. Children could
also damage the phone or make calls that increase
your telephone bills.
Blasting Areas
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn
your unit OFF when in a “blasting area” or in areas
posted “turn off two-way radio”. Construction crews
often use remote control RF devices to set off explosives.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Turn your phone OFF when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere. It is rare, but your phone
or its accessories could generate sparks. Sparks 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 fuelling areas, such as gas stations, below deck on boats,
fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities, and areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such
as grain, dust, or metal powders.
Do not transport or store flammable gas, liquid, or explosives in the compartment of your vehicle which
contains your phone and accessories.
Product care
Do not expose product to water or moisture, for ex-
•
ample: bathtub, laundry sink, wet/damp basement,
swimming pools, etc.
Do not expose product to extreme temperatures
•
such as found near a hot radiator or stove, or in a
car parked in the sun.
• Do not expose product to extreme cold tempera-
tures such as a car parked outdoors in winter.
•
Do not expose product to lit candles, cigarettes, cigars, open flames, etc.
•
Use only Ericsson Original accessories. Failure to
do so may result in loss of performance, fire, electric shock, or injury, and will void the warranty.
Do not attempt to disassemble the product. Doing so
will void warranty. This product does not contain consumer serviceable components. Service should only be
performed by Authorized Service Centres.

Changing the Front Panel
It is very important that the phone always is used with
a front panel. This will prevent dust and dirt to get into
the phone which will reduce the phone’s functionality.
The Raised Front Panel Markings
The front panel has raised markings around the
left/right arrows and key 5, in order to help you find
the right key on the keypad when
you are not able to see it.
For instance when driv-
ing. These raised
markings must be
facing up when
you mount the front
panel.

and push it towards the display.
Be careful to not bend the front panel too much
since it may break.
2. Pull out the front panel from the phone.
Mounting the Front Panel
1. Insert the top of the front panel into the two slots
above the YES and NO keys. Make sure that the
raised markings on the front panel are facing up.

3. Insert the pegs at the bottom of the front panel into
the recess in the phone by carefully bending the
front panel and pushing it towards the display. Be
careful not to bend the front panel too much since it
may break.
The Battery and the SIM Card
The Battery
Your phone is supplied with a Nickel Metal Hydride
battery. The battery is not charged before shipment,
even though there might be enough power to turn the
phone on.
Remember to recycle the battery when you will not
use it anymore.
The SIM Card
Before you can start using your phone, you need to or-
der a SIM Card from a GSM service provider. The
SIM Card is a computer circuit that keeps track of
your phone number, the services that you have ordered from the service provider, and your phone book
information.
The SIM Card sometimes contains information that
lets the phone automatically change the display texts
into the language of the SIM Card.
Your SIM Card is supplied with a security code or
PIN (Personal Identity Number) that you need to enter
into the phone to gain access to the phone and network.
