Efficient use

The handset has an internal antenna located at the top of the phone. For optimum performance with minimum power

consumption do not cover the antenna area with your hand. Covering the antenna affects call quality, may cause the

handset to operate at higher power level than needed, and may shorten talk and idle times.

Radio Frequency Energy

Your handset is a low-power radio transmitter and receiver. When switched on it intermittently transmits radio frequency

(RF) energy (radio waves). The transmit power level is optimized for best performance and automatically reduces when

there is good quality reception. Maximum power is only used at the edge of network coverage, so under most

circumstances the power output is very low.

Emergency Services

To make an emergency call in any country:

1 Ensure that your handset is switched on and in service.

2 Press

3 Enter the emergency number for your present location using the keypad. (eg 000 or 112)

key as many times as needed to clear the display and return to the idle screen.

4 Press

key to call the number. Follow instructions received and do not end the call until told to do so.

You can also activate the emergency call with a single key-press by pressing the SOS soft key button.

Note:

 Tell the operator which service you require. Give your position and, if possible, remain stationary to maintain best

contact.

 Due to the nature and coverage of the cellular system the connection of emergency calls cannot be guaranteed.

You should never rely solely on any wireless device for essential communications like medical emergencies.

Installing the USIM Card

The USIM card stores your network connection authority, service details, phonebook and text messages. It must be

inserted into your phone prior to use.

First disconnect the charger and other accessories. Remove the back panel and the battery (as described below).

Handle the USIM card with care and avoid static electricity and magnetism. Do not bend or scratch your USIM card.

If the USIM card is removed or damaged then the handset becomes unusable except for emergency calls.

The USIM card is installed in a holder underneath the battery. Insert the card into the holder as shown with the gold

contacts on the USIM card facing down and the beveled corner facing to the top left. Ensure the USIM card is pushed

all the way to the base of the phone.

Battery Installation, Charging and Care

1. Removing the Battery

Switch off the handset. Find and press the release button in the upper middle of the back panel and gently slide the

panel down to reveal the battery compartment. Find the groove on the top of the battery and lift the battery up and out.

2. Installing the Battery

Locate the contacts on the battery. Insert the battery so the contacts line up with the terminals on the phone. The

battery can only be inserted one way. Push the battery down into place and replace the back cover.

The battery is not fully charged when you buy your phone but there may be enough power in the battery to turn the

phone on. A battery that has not been used for a long period of time needs to be completely discharged and then

recharged two or three times before reaching full capacity.

Note:

z The F150 automatically switches off if the battery voltage is too low.

z Batteries have a limited life span. If the battery does not last as long as it used to, the battery may be

coming to the end of its life. Replace the battery with a new one of the same type.

z When not using the battery for a long period remove it from the F150 and store it in a cool dry place.

z Do not leave the phone connected to the charger for extended periods of time eg > 24 hrs.

3. Charging the battery

• Open the rubber port cover and connect the charger

to the socket on the bottom of the phone.

• The charger plug will only fit one way into the phone.

• Connect the charger to a standard AC wall socket

and switch on.

• The phone will show a charging animation on the

display. If the phone is not used for a long time or the

battery is completely flat it may take a few minutes

before this indicator appears.

• When charging, ensure the power cable is kept clear

of walkways and does not cause a hazard.

4. Battery Information and Care:

 Only use the supplied charger. Use of an unauthorized charger may damage the phone and invalidate the

warranty.

 Charge the battery promptly when it is flat.

 Charge the battery between 0°C~50°C. If the temperature of the handset is too high, switch it off and let it cool.

 If the battery is not fully charged after 5 hours charging, please stop charging.

 Do not connect the battery directly to an electrical outlet or cigarette lighter charger.

 Stop using the battery if abnormal heat, odour, discolouration, deformation, or abnormal condition is detected

during use, charge, or storage.

 Keep the battery’s metal contacts clean.

 Do not leave a loose battery in your pocket or handbag where metal objects could short the terminals. This could

be a fire or injury hazard.

 Battery life can be maximized by regularly allowing the phone to fully discharge before recharging the battery.

 When the battery voltage is low the phone will alert and may have limited functionality.
