You are likely to hear calls much better because volume is increased and background noise and feedback are diminished. The HAC setting improves only the calls you listen to through the earpiece. It does not affect calls heard on the speakerphone or a headset. It’s better to turn off the Bluetooth function when the HAC setting is on. HAC requires extra battery power, so watch your battery consumption when it’s turned on.

Caution: Do not turn on the HAC setting unless you use a hearing aid with a telecoil. Using this setting without a hearing aid or with a hearing aid without a telecoil may be harmful to your hearing.

Troubleshooting and FAQs

If you encounter problems while using the phone, or if it performs erratically, you can consult the information in the chart below. If your particular problem cannot be resolved using the information in the chart, contact your service provider.

Problem Possible Causes Possible Solution

Poor reception The network signal is too weak

Echo or noise

at your current location, for example, in a basement or near a tall building, because wireless transmissions cannot effectively reach it.

The network is busy at the current time (for example, during peak times, there may be too much network trafﬁc to handle additional calls).

You are too far away from a base station for your service provider.

Poor network trunk quality on the part of your service provider.

Poor local telephone line quality.

Move to a location where the network signal can be properly received.

Avoid using the phone at such times, or try again after waiting a short time.

You can request a service area map from your service provider.

Press the Power/End Key and dial again. You may be switched to a better-quality network trunk or phone line.

70 Troubleshooting and FAQs

Poor contact between the battery and charger.

Battery power has been depleted.

(U)SIM card malfunction or damage.

(U)SIM card inserted improperly.

Debris on the (U)SIM card contacts.

Contact your service provider.

Contact the dealer.

Adjust the battery charging environment to avoid temperature extremes.

Recharge the phone’s battery.

Take the (U)SIM card to your service provider for testing.

Insert the (U)SIM card properly.

Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the (U)SIM card contacts.

71Troubleshooting and FAQs

Problem Possible Causes Possible Solution

Shortened standby time

Unable to connect to the network

The standby time is related to your service provider system conﬁguration. The same phone used with different service providers’ systems will not provide exactly the same length of standby time.

The battery is depleted. In high-temperature environments, battery life will be shortened.

If you are not able to connect to the network, the phone will continue to send out signals as it attempts to locate a base station. Doing so consumes battery power and will consequently shorten standby time.

(U)SIM card invalid.

You are not within the network’s service area.

Poor signal.

If you are located in an area where signaling is weak, temporarily switch off the phone.

Use a new battery.

Change your location to one where the network is accessible, or temporarily turn off your phone.

Contact your service provider.

Check the service area with your service provider.

Move to an open space, or if you are inside a building, move closer to a window.

72 Troubleshooting and FAQs

Problem Possible Causes Possible Solution

PIN code is blocked

You have entered an incorrect PIN code three consecutive times.

Contact your service provider. If the service provider provides the (U)SIM card’s PUK code, use the PUK code to unlock the (U)SIM card.

FCC Compliance

This mobile phone complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

This device may not cause harmful interference, and This device must accept any interference received, including interference that

may cause undesired operation.

This device has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

• Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

• Changes or modiﬁcations not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

The antenna(s) used for this transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

75FCC Compliance

Radio Frequency (RF) Energy

• This model device meets the government’s requirements for exposure to radio waves.

• This device is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission of the U.S. Government.

• The exposure standard for wireless devices employs a unit of measurement known as the Speciﬁc Absorption Rate or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is

1.6W/kg.*

• Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions accepted by the FCC with the device transmitting at its highest certiﬁed power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certiﬁed power level, the actual SAR level of the device while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the device is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the power required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output.

• The highest SAR value for the model phone as reported to the FCC when tested for use at the ear is 0.622 W/kg and when worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is 0.667 W/kg (Body-worn measurements differ among phone models, depending upon available accessories and FCC requirements.)

• While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various devices and at various positions, they all meet the government requirement.

* In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile phones used by the public

is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue. The standard incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and to account for any variations in measurements.

76 Radio Frequency (RF) Energy

• The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model device with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR information on this model device is on ﬁle with the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching on:

• FCC ID: Q78-Z331.

• For body worn operation, this phone has been tested and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines for use with an accessory that contains no metal and positions the handset a minimum of 1.5 cm from the body. Use of other enhancements may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guideline.
