RF Safety Information

The handset has an internal antenna located under the bottom of the keypad. For optimum performance with minimum power consumption do not cover the antenna area with your hand. Hold the handset between thumb and finger on the main hinge section. 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 the 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. Under poor network conditions the phone will transmit at a higher power, may get hot and will have a significantly shorter battery life.

Declaration of Conformity

We declare under our sole responsibility that the product(s) detailed in this manual, and in combination with our accessories, conform with the essential requirements of The Radio Communications Standard (Electro-magnetic Radiation Human Exposure) 2003 and the Australian Communications and Media Authority Section 376 of the Telecommunications Act 1997.

General Safety Information

The handset contains delicate electronic circuitry, magnets and battery systems. You should treat it with care and pay attention to the following points:

•Handle the handset with care. Do not drop or throw the handset down roughly.

•Do not immerse in any liquid. The handset contains a liquid detection sticker and the warranty will be voided by any liquid damage.

•Do not place the handset near computer disks, credit cards, and other magnetic media. The information contained on disks or cards may be erased or damaged.

•Do not leave the handset or battery in direct sunlight or near other heat sources

where the temperature could exceed 45 °C

•Keep the handset, battery, charger and any other accessories away from children.

•In the unlikely event of a battery leak avoid contact with your eyes or skin. In

the event of contact please flush thoroughly with water and consult a doctor.

•Observe and obey warning signs at petrol stations, airports and hospitals.

•The operation of some medical electronic devices, such as hearing aids and pacemakers, may be affected by the handset.

•Take care not to allow metal objects such as coins or keys to come into contact with the battery.

•Do not dispose of batteries in a fire.

•Do not throw used batteries into household rubbish, return them to a recycling point. (see Chapter 4)

•Do not connect the handset to any other chargers or cigarette lighter chargers.

•Only use the supplied charger.

•Be careful not to pierce the battery with sharp objects and do not use damaged batteries.

•Do not disassemble or modify the battery.

•Stop using the battery if abnormal heat, odour, discolouration, deformation, or abnormal condition is detected during use, charge, or storage.

•Do not attempt to dismantle the handset or any of its accessories.

•Do not place the handset close to the edge of a table in case it moves when set on vibrate mode.

•Do not put the handset into a microwave oven, dryer, or high-pressure container.

•Do not use your handset while driving or operating other machinery.

•Do not use the handset where blasting is in progress.

•Switch your phone off when boarding aircraft.

•Do not leave your handset at the bottom of a bag where it may be damaged by sharp objects.

•Do not leave the handset discharged or disconnected for a long time, otherwise your personal data may be lost.

•Remember to make backup copies of all important data on your handset

•Take care when your phone is in your pocket. Sitting down may damage the handset.

1Getting Started

1.1Install the (U)SIM Card

The (U)SIM card (Universal Subscriber Interface Module) is the small plastic chip with gold contacts supplied by Telstra. This contains your phone number and acts as a store for your contacts. It can be moved between different phones if required. Insert this face down into the carrier inside the back panel of the phone. Make sure it is pushed all the way to the bottom of the phone as shown below:

1.2Insert the Battery

Remove the back cover by pressing gently and sliding down. Insert the battery carefully with the contacts located against the gold springs. The battery will only fit one way.

Close the case by locating the plastic cover into the grooves and sliding the cover up to close it. Do NOT force the cover down by pressing on it. This will damage the cover. Slide the cover up gently

Notes

•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.

•The battery takes two or three charge cycles to reach full capacity.

1.3Switch the Phone on and Connect the Charger

Press and hold the key for two seconds to switch your phone on. The phone takes about 16 seconds to initialize. Enter the PIN number supplied by Telstra with your (U)SIM card. The start up screen below is referred to throughout the manual as the Idle Screen :

Charge your Phone

Insert the charger lead carefully with the arrow on the top. The lead only fits one way. Do NOT use excessive force to insert the lead.

Check it is the right way round and lined up correctly.

You can also charge your phone by connecting it to your

PC using the USB data lead supplied. Please see the

Advanced Section for more details on PC applications.

1.4Charging and Battery life

•Only use the charger supplied.

•Normal charge time is 2-3 hours.

•When not using the phone for a long period remove the battery and store it in a cool dry place.

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

•If the battery is not fully charged after 3 hours please stop charging.

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

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

•Charge the battery promptly when flat.

•Under poor network conditions (less than 2 bars) it is normal for the battery to only last 1 day.

•To maximize battery life reduce the back lighting to 10 seconds (see Section 1.13 - ‘Personalise your Phone’).

•If the phone is not used for a long time or the battery is completely flat it may take a few minutes to power up.
