Liquid Damage - Important Note
Your ruggedised handset is compliant with the IP54 Standard which gives limited protection from dust
and liquid ingress. It is not waterproof and should never be immersed in any liquid. The handset
contains liquid detecting stickers and any liquid damage will void your warranty. To ensure continued
protection against liquid damage the battery cover, antenna port and USB port cover must be securely
closed.
4
Page 5
RF Safety Information
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. Hold the handset
between thumb and finger in the middle of the device. 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
The 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 transmits at a higher power, may get hot and have a
significantly shorter battery life.
Declaration of Conformity - SAR (Specific Absorption Rate)
We declare 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. N14945
The highest SAR value recorded is 0. 539 W/Kg at GSM 900 MHz.

5 Installing the Join Me Computer suite
Embedded in your handset is a computer connection suite. The computer suite is compatible with
Windows 7, Vista and XP for the PC and MAC OS 10.4, 10.5 and 10.6. To install the computer suite you
need to connect your handset to your computer using the USB lead supplied.
When the Join Me installation window appears please run the Autorun file to install the application.
Follow the prompts to install the software which could take up to 5 minutes to complete.
After Join Me has installed you may need to remove and re-insert your device to complete the driver
installation for your handset.
The software can be used to synchronise phonebook contacts and calendar events and the PC version
can copy pictures, music, videos and applications to and from the handset. Please see the Join Me help
file from within the application for examples of how to use the features.
