How to use your belt clip

Please Note

The handset will only fit one way into the belt clip. It clips in gently and does not need to be forced. The screen faces inwards to provide protection and to prevent the screen getting scratched. Do not force the handset the wrong way into the clip as this will mark the handset casing.

How to insert your phone into the belt clip

Hold the handset upright with the screen facing the inside of the belt clip. Insert the bottom of the handset into the bottom of the belt clip. Gently push the handset in towards the top clip to secure the handset.

How to remove your phone from the belt clip

Gently push the top lever towards the back of the belt clip. The handset will be released.

Insert the handset with the screen facing towards the back of the belt clip.

Remove the handset by gently pressing the top lever.

RF Safety Information

The handset has an internal antenna located at the bottom 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. 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 responsib ility that the product(s) detailed in this manual, and in combination with our accessories, conform with the essential requirements of The Radio Communications Standard (Electromagnetic Radiation Human Exposure) 2003 and the Australian Communications and Media Authority Section 376 of the Telecommunications Act

1997.

Liquid Damage - Important Note

The handset is compliant with IP54 Standard which gives limited protection against dust and liquid ingress. It is not waterproof and should not be immersed in any liquid. The handset contains liquid detecting stickers and any liquid damage will be warranty void. To ensure water resistance the battery cov er, antenna port and USB port covers must be properly closed.

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 dete cti on sticke r 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.

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

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

• It is normal for the handset to become warm while the battery is being charged.

• Under poor network conditions battery life is considerably reduced

• When the battery is thrown away cover the terminals with insulating tape.

• Please recycle the packaging and all parts as stated in Chapter 4.

• The A-GPS feature is not intended for aviation or nautical fixing.
