Preface

To use your Toshiba phone, you must have service from a wireless service provider. Many of the features in your Toshiba phone

Preface

depend on features in the wireless network to function. These network services may not be available on all networks, or you may have to make specific arrangements with your service provider before you can utilise network services. Your service provider may need to give you additional instructions for their use and explain what charges will apply. Some networks may have limitations that affect how you can use network services. For instance, some networks may not support all language-dependent characters and services.

The availability of particular products may vary by region. Due to the continual development of our products, Toshiba reserves the right to modify this document at any time without prior

notice.

under such conditions.

• Hold the phone away from your ear when playing music and

when the ring tone is playing.

• When using ear buds or other headphones, be careful not to

listen at excessive volumes. Listening to very loud sound levels may lead to hearing loss. Also, listening through the ear buds or headphones for prolonged periods of time, even at normal

Health and safety

sound levels, may lead to hearing loss. You should consult your doctor for more information on proper use of ear buds or headphones.

• It is recommended that pregnant and young women take

precautions while in a call and keep the phone at a distance from their lower abdomen. For this situation, use of a hands free kit is recommended.

• Your phone contains metal that may cause skin irritation.

Health and safety

Operating environment

• Observe all local safety regulations regarding the use of mobile

phones while driving.

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

• Do not stop on the hard shoulder of a motorway to answer or

make a call, except in an emergency.

• Mobile phone usage may interfere with some hearing aids. If this

happens you should contact your service provider or doctor.

• Mobile phone usage may interfere with the functionality of

inadequately shielded medical devices. Consult a physician or the manufacturer of the device to ensure safe procedures are used.

• Mobile phone usage may interfere with the functionality of any

inadequately shielded electronic system in a motor vehicle. Examples include airbags and fuel injection. You should contact the manufacturer of the vehicle to ensure that the electronic system is properly shielded.

• Do not place your Toshiba phone alongside computer disks,

credit cards, travel cards and other magnetic media. Information contained on disks or cards may be affected by the phone.

Health and safety

Battery safety

Your Toshiba phone is powered by a rechargeable battery. The full performance of a new battery is achieved only after two or three complete charge and discharge cycles. The battery can be charged and discharged hundreds of times but it will eventually wear out. When the talk and standby times are noticeably shorter

Health and safety

than normal, it is recommended that you buy a new battery.

• A new battery, or one that has not been used for a long time,

could have reduced capacity during initial use.

• The battery can only be charged in temperatures between

+5 °C (+41 °F) and +35°C (+95 °F).

• Only use batteries approved by Toshiba, and only recharge the

battery with the recommended charger supplied by Toshiba.

• Stop using the battery if you detect any abnormalities, such as

odour, discolouration or heat during use, charging or storage.

•Do not use your Toshiba phone with a damaged battery.

• When the charger is not in use, disconnect it from the power

source.

• Do not leave the battery connected to the charger and power

source for longer than necessary as overcharging will shorten the lifespan of the battery.

Health and safety

• Do not short-circuit the battery. Accidental short-circuiting can

occur when a metallic object causes a direct connection between the + and - terminals of the battery.

• Do not leave the battery in areas of extreme cold or heat as this

will affect the performance of the battery. Areas of extreme cold include a refrigerator, and areas of extreme heat include a car exposed to direct sunlight.

• In the unlikely event of a battery leak, take care to keep the

battery discharge away from your eyes and skin. If the leakage does come into contact with eyes or skin, flush thoroughly with clean water and consult a doctor.

• Do not dispose of the battery in a fire.

• Do not dispose of the battery in an ordinary bin. The battery

contains toxic chemicals and must be disposed of appropria tely. Contact your local authorities for more information.

Health and safety

AC charger safety

• Do not use a damaged or worn AC charger. The use of a

damaged or worn AC charger could result in electric shock, burns or fire. Contact an authorised Toshiba service provider immediately to obtain suitable replacements.

• Do not bend or twist the cable of the AC charger.

Health and safety

• Do not pull on the cable of the AC charger in order to remove the

plug from a socket.

• Grasp the plug directly when unplugging the AC charger to avoid

causing any damage to the cable.

• Do not place heavy objects on the AC charger.

Health and safety

Emergency calls

When making emergency calls from your Toshiba phone, ensure that the phone is switched on and in service. Calls cannot be made to emergency services while data communication is being performed within a GSM area. If the Network mode is set to WCDMA only or GSM only, calls cannot be made to emergency services if the selected network is unavailable. Also, calls may not be able to be made to emergency services depending on the network services of some service providers.

IMPORTANT: You can still make calls to emergency services when the SIM card is not inserted, the SIM card is locked, the phone is locked, or Call barring is set.

There is no guarantee that a connection can be established in all countries and areas because operation of your phone differs depending on the wireless network, wireless signal and your setting status. Do not rely solely on your mobile phone when you need to make emergency calls.

Health and safety

FCC RF exposure information

Your Toshiba phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is

Health and safety

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 guidelines are based on standards that were developed by independent scientific organisations through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The standards include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health. The exposure standard for wireless handsets employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg. The tests are performed in positions and locations (e.g., at the ear and worn on the body) as required by the FCC for each model. The SAR value for this model handset when tested for use at the ear is 0.657W/kg and when worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is 1.06W/kg.

Health and safety

Body-worn operation

This phone was tested for typical body-worn operations with the back of the phone kept at a distance of 1.5cm from the body. To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure requirements, use accessories that maintain a 1.5cm separation distance between your body and the back of the phone. The use of belt clips, holsters and similar accessories should not contain metallic components. The use of accessories that do not satisfy these requirements may not comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, and should be avoided.

The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model handset with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF emission guidelines. SAR information on this model handset is on file with the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching on FCC ID SP2-SG4-E01.

Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on the Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA) website at http://www.phonefacts.net.
