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.
6
Insert the handset with the
screen facing towards the
back of the belt clip.
Remove the handset by
gently pressing the top lever.
7
Extendable Antenna
The phone has an external antenna located on the
top of the handset. To get maximum call quality and
coverage you should extend the antenna whenever
you make or receive a call. If you do extend the
antenna, you should pull it out to its full extent. The
antenna should not be left in the half way position
during a call as call quality may be affected.
Note on the Antenna Design:
The antenna is designed with a small insulating frame on
the front of the antenna stub mounting. This moulding
improves the signal strength of the antenna while
reducing the radiation towards the user.
8
RF Safety Information
The handset has an external antenna located on the top of the handset. For optimum
performance with minimum power consumption always extend the antenna fully and do not
cover it 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 has a durable rubber shell but it is NOT waterproof and should not be
immersed in any liquid. The unit contains liquid detecting stickers and liquid damage will be
warranty void. Always close the charger and antenna port covers to maximise protection
against liquid ingress.
9
