Since its introduction in the mid 1980s the mobile

phone is one of the most exciting and innovative

products ever developed. Your phone can help you to

stay in touch with your office, your home, emergency

services and others.

Exposure to Radio Frequency Energy

Your wireless handheld portable telephone is a low

power radio transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it

receives and also sends out radio frequency (RF) signals.

In August, 1996, the Federal Communications Com-

mission (FCC) adopted RF exposure guidelines with

safety levels for handheld wireless phones. Those guide-

lines are consistent with the safety standards previously

set by both US and international standards bodies:

• ANSI C95.1 (1992)*

• NCRP Report 86 (1986)*

• ICNIRP (1996)*

Those standards were based on comprehensive and peri-

odic evaluations of the relevant scientific literature. For

example, over 120 scientists, engineers, and physicians

from universities, government health agencies, and

industry reviewed the available body of research to

develop the ANSI Standards (C95.1).

The design of your phone complies with the FCC guide-

lines (and those standards).

* American National Standards Institute: National Coun-

cil on Radiation Protection and Measurements; Interna-

tional Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection.

Efficient Phone Operation

How to use your phone for optimum performance with

minimum power consumption:

Hold the phone as you would any other telephone.

While speaking directly into the mouthpiece, angle the

antenna in a direction up and over your shoulder. If the

antenna is extendable/retractable, it should be extended

during a call.

Do not hold the antenna when the phone is in use.

Holding the antenna affects call quality, may cause the

phone to operate at a higher power level than needed

and shortens talk and standby times.

Antenna Care:

• Use only the supplied or an approved replacement

antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or

attachments could damage the phone and may vio-

late FCC regulations.

Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use

Not for commercial use - Ericsson Inc.

ii

• Don’t continue to twist the antenna after it has

been inserted. Excess twisting will damage the

antenna.

• Be cautious if removing your antenna. A detached

antenna may be a choking hazard for children.

Phone Operation: Hold the phone as you would any

other telephone with the antenna pointed up and over

your shoulder.

Tips on Efficient Operation: For your phone to operate

most efficiently:

• Do not touch the antenna unnecessarily when the

phone is in use. Contact with the antenna affects

call quality and may cause the phone to operate at a

higher power level than otherwise needed.

Driving

Check the laws and regulations on the use of wireless

telephones in the areas where you drive. Always obey

them. Also, if using your phone while driving, please:

• Get to know your wireless phone and its features

such as speed dial and redial.

• When available, use a handsfree

device.

• Position your wireless phone

within easy reach.

• Suspend conversations during

hazardous driving conditions or

situations.

• Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while

driving.

• Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place

calls when you are not moving or before pulling

into traffic.

• Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversa-

tions that may be distracting.

• Use your wireless phone to call for help.

• Use you wireless phone to help others in emergen-

cies.

• Call roadside assistance or a special wireless non-

emergency assistance number when necessary.

• Give full attention to driving.

• Pull off the road and park before making or answer-

ing a call if driving conditions so require.

Electronic Devices

Most modern electronic equipment, for example equip-

ment in hospitals and cars, is shielded from RF energy.

However, certain electronic equipment may not be

shielded against RF signals from your wireless phone.

Pacemakers

The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recom-

mends that a minimum separation of six (6”) inches be

maintained between a handheld wireless phone and a

pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pace-

Not for commercial use - Ericsson Inc.

.

iii

maker. These recommendations are consistent with the

independent research by and recommendations of Wire-

less Technology Research.

Persons with pacemakers:

• Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than six

inches from their pacemaker when the phone is

turned ON.

• Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket.

• Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to mini-

mize the potential for interference.

If you have any reason to suspect that interference is tak-

ing place, turn your phone OFF immediately.

Hearing Aids

Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some

hearing aids. In the event of such interference, you may

want to consult your service provider (or call the cus-

tomer service line to discuss alternatives).

Other Medical Devices

If you use any other personal medical device, consult the

manufacturer of your device to determine if it is ade-

quately shielded from external RF energy. Your physi-

cian may be able to assist you in obtaining this

information.

• Turn your phone OFF in health care facilities when

any regulations posted in these areas instruct you to

do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be

using equipment that could be sensitive to external

RF energy.

Vehicles

RF signals may affect improperly installed or inade-

quately shielded electronic systems in motor vehicles.

Check with the manufacturer or its representative

regarding your vehicle. You should also consult the man-

ufacturer of any equipment that has been added to your

vehicle.

Posted Facilities

Turn your phone OFF in any facility where posted

notices so require.

Aircraft

• FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while

in the air.

• Switch OFF your phone before boarding an air-

craft.

Not for commercial use - Ericsson Inc.

iv

Children

Do not allow children to play with your phone. It con-

tains small parts that could be detached and create a

choking hazard, and children could hurt themselves or

others, or could accidentally damage the phone.

Blasting Areas

To avoid interfering with blasting operation, turn your

phone OFF when in a “blasting area” or in areas posted:

“Turn off two-way radio.” Obey all signs and instruc-

tions.

Potentially Explosive Atmospheres

Turn your phone OFF when in any area with a poten-

tially explosive atmosphere and obey all signs and

instructions. Sparks in such areas could cause an explo-

sion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.

Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often,

but not always, clearly marked. They include fuelling

areas such as gasoline stations; below deck on boats; fuel

or chemical transfer or storage facilities; vehicles using

liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane);

areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such

as grain, dust, or metal powders; and any other area

where you would normally be advised to turn off your

vehicle engine.

For Vehicles Equipped with an Air Bag

An air bag inflates with great force. DO NOT place

objects, including both installed or portable wireless

equipment, in the area over the airbag or in the air bag

deployment area. If in-vehicle wireless equipment is

improperly installed and the air bag inflates, serious

injury could result.

Product Care

• Do not expose your mobile phone to moisture or

extreme temperatures.

• Do not use any other accessories but Ericsson origi-

nals. Failure to do so may result in loss of perfor-

mance, fire, electric shock or injury, and will void

the warranty.

• Do not attempt to disassemble the product. Doing

so will void warranty. This product does not con-

tain consumer serviceable components. Service

should only be performed by Authorized Service

Centers.

• Do not allow objects to fall on, or liquids to spill

on, products.

Battery Information

Recycling Your Battery

Your phone manufacturer is a member of the Recharge-

able Battery Recycling Corporation (RBRC), a non-

profit public service organization designed to assist in

the recycling of rechargeable batteries.

Many areas require the recycling of rechargeable batter-

ies. In the U.S., call 1-800-822-8837 to find out how to

recycle your battery. Outside the U.S., contact your local

retailer for recycling instructions.

Battery Use and Care

A rechargeable battery has a long service life if treated

properly. A new battery, or one that has not been used

for a long period of time, should be conditioned before

using your phone.

Avoid recharging a fully-charged or almost fully-charged

battery. This can result in the memory effect, which

causes the battery to charge to less than its full capacity.

If your phone shuts off due to low battery power, you

should charge the battery within 24 hours for the battery

to reach full capacity.

• Do not leave your battery where it may be sub-

jected to extremely hot or cold temperatures. This

could reduce the battery’s capacity.

• Do not let the metal contacts on the battery touch

another metal object such as keys in your pocket.

This could short-circuit and damage the battery.

• Do not attempt to take a battery apart.

• Do not expose a battery to open flame. This could

cause the battery to explode.

• Turn your phone OFF before removing the battery.

• Use only the AC/DC adapter supplied with your

battery charger. Using a different adapter could be

dangerous and will void your phone warranty.

• Never charge a battery when the ambient room

temperature is below 50° F (10°C) or above 105°F

(40°C).

• Do not allow the battery to be placed into the

mouth. Battery electrolytes may be toxic if swal-

lowed.

• Connect AC (power supply) only to designated

power sources as marked on the product.

• To reduce risk of damage, remove the electrical cord

from the outlet by pulling the AC adapter rather

than the cord.

• Make sure the electric cord is located so that it will

not be stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise sub-

jected to damage or stress.

• To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug the unit

from the power source before attempting any clean-

ing. Once unplugged, use a soft cloth lightly damp-

ened with water for cleaning.

vi

• DANGER - Never alter the AC cord or plug. If the

plub will not fit into the outlet, have a power outlet

installed by a qualified electrician. Improper con-

nection can result in risk of electric shock.

This chapter describes how you assemble the phone,

what the Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) Card is, and

how you handle the battery.

About the SIM Card

Contact your service provider if your phone is not

equipped with a SIM card. The SIM Card is a computer

circuit that keeps track of your phone number, the ser-

vices that you have ordered from the service provider,

and your phone book information.

Your SIM Card is supplied with a PIN (Personal Identi-

fication Number) that you may need to enter into the

phone to gain access to the phone and network.

Follow the six steps below to assemble your CF768.

Preparing Your Phone – Six Steps

1

Insert the SIM Card (if not previously inserted).

2

Connect the battery to the phone.

3

Attach the belt clip to the phone (optional).

4

Connect the charger to the phone charger connector.

5

Connect the charger to a standard electrical outlet.

6

Turn the phone ON.

Step 1: Inserting the SIM Card

Note! Place the gold side down, clipped corner to left

Removing the SIM Card

Step 2: Attaching the Battery

About the Battery

Your phone is supplied with a Nickel Metal Hydride

(NiMH) battery. The battery is not charged before ship-

ment, but there might be enough power to turn the

phone on.

Assembly Instructions

Some menus/features are operator dependent.

2

Conditioning the Battery

The battery needs to be recharged and fully discharged

2-3 times to reach full capacity. To fully discharge the

battery, operate the phone as usual until the low battery

warning is issued. You hear a low beep and the light on

top of the phone flashes red.

Removing the Battery

1

Make sure the phone is turned off.

2

Press the locking catch on the bottom of the battery.

3

Lift the battery up and away from the phone.

Step 3: Attaching the Belt Clip

(optional)

Note! You will need a small phillips head screwdriver.

1

Remove the belt clip from the plastic bag.

2
