Understanding this Manual

EnglishSafety 5

Efficient Phone Operation

For your phone to operate at the lowest power level, consistent with

satisfactory call quality:

If your phone has an extendable antenna, extend it fully. Some models

allow you to place a call with the antenna retracted. However, your phone

operates more efficiently with the antenna fully extended.

Hold the phone as you would any other telephone. While speaking directly

into the mouthpiece, position the antenna up and over your shoulder.

Do not hold the antenna when the phone is "IN USE". Holding the antenna

affects call quality and may cause the phone to operate at a higher power

level than needed.

Antenna Care and Replacement

Do not use the phone with a damaged antenna. If a damaged antenna

comes into contact with the skin, a minor burn may result. Replace a

damaged antenna immediately. Consult your manual to see if you may

change the antenna yourself. If so, use only a manufacturer-approved

antenna. Otherwise, have your antenna repaired by a qualified technician.

Use only the supplied or approved antenna. Unauthorised antennas,

modifications or attachments could damage the phone and may contravene

local RF emission regulations or invalidate type approval.

IMPORTANT

For the efficient and safe operation of

your GSM Cellular Telephone,

Read this information before use.

Your GSM cellular telephone is one of the most exciting and innovative

electronic products ever developed. With it you can stay in contact with

your office, your home, emergency services, and others, wherever service is

provided.

General

Your cellular telephone utilizes the GSM standard for cellular technology.

GSM is a newer radio frequency ("RF") technology than the current FM

technology that has been used for radio communications for decades. The

GSM standard has been established for use in the European Community

and elsewhere.

Your cellular telephone is actually a low power radio transmitter and

receiver. It sends out and receives radio frequency energy. When you use

your cellular telephone, the cellular system handling your call controls both

the radio frequency and the power level of your cellular telephone.

Exposure To RF Energy

There has been some public concern about possible health effects of using

cellular telephones. Although research on health effects from RF energy has

focused for many years on the current RF technology, scientists have begun

research regarding newer radio technologies such as GSM. After existing

research had been reviewed, and after compliance to all applicable safety

standards had been tested, it has been concluded that the product is fit for

use.

If you are concerned about exposure to RF energy there are things you can

do to minimize exposure. Obviously, limiting the duration of your calls will

reduce your exposure to RF energy. In addition, you can reduce RF exposure

by operating your cellular telephone efficiently by following the below

guidelines.

Safety

English 6 Safety

Driving

Check the laws and regulations on the use of cellular telephones in the

areas where you drive. Always obey them. Also, when using your phone

while driving, please:

• give full attention to driving,

• use hands-free operation, if available, and

• pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving

conditions so require.

Electronic Devices

Most electronic equipment, for example in hospitals and motor vehicles is

shielded from RF energy. However, RF energy may effect some

malfunctioning or improperly shielded electronic equipment.

Vehicle Electronic Equipment

Check with your vehicle manufacturer's representative to determine if any

on board electronic equipment is adequately shielded from RF energy.

Medical Electronic Equipment

Consult the manufacturer of any personal medical devices (such as

pacemakers, hearing aids, etc.) to determine if they are adequately shielded

from external RF energy.

Turn your phone OFF in health care facilities when any regulations posted in

the area instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be

using RF monitoring equipment.

Aircraft

Turn your phone OFF before boarding any aircraft.

• Use it on the ground only with crew permission.

• Do not use in the air.

To prevent possible interference with aircraft systems, Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA) regulations require you to have permission from a

crew member to use your phone while the plane is on the ground. To

prevent interference with cellular systems, local RF regulations prohibit

using your phone whilst airborne.

Children

Do not allow children to play with your phone. It is not a toy. Children could

hurt themselves or others (by poking themselves or others in the eye with

the antenna, for example). Children could damage the phone, or make calls

that increase your telephone bills.

Blasting Areas

To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your unit OFF when in a

"blasting area" or in areas posted: "turn off two-way radio". Construction

crews often use remote control RF devices to set off explosives.

Potentially Explosive Atmospheres

Turn your phone OFF when in any area with a potentially explosive

atmosphere. It is rare, but your phone or its accessories could generate

sparks. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion 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 petrol stations; below

decks on boats; fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities; and areas

where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal

powders.

Do not transport or store flammable gas, liquid, or explosives, in the

compartment of your vehicle which contains your phone or accessories.

Before using your phone in a vehicle powered by liquefied petroleum gas

(such as propane or butane) ensure that the vehicle complies with the

relevant fire and safety regulations of the country in which the vehicle is to

be used.

EnglishSafety 7

Safety Standards Battery Safety

To prevent injury or burns, do not allow metal objects to contact or short

circuit the battery terminals.

This Cellular Telephone complies with all

applicable RF safety standards.

This cellular telephone meets the standards and recommendations for the

protection of public exposure to RF electromagnetic energy established by

governmental bodies and other qualified organisations, such as the

following:

• Verband Deutscher Elektroingenieure (VDE) DIN-0848

• Directives of the European Community, Directorate General V in

Matters of Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Energy

• National Radiological Protection Board of the United Kingdom.

'0' of the area code when you dial.

The Useful Information section at the end of this manual

contains a list of the more commonly used international dial

codes.

English 18 Using Your Phone

GSM Emergency Calls

The worldwide GSM network provides a standard number,

112, to dial in cases of emergency.

Provided that your phone has found a network, you will be

able to make an emergency call. The call can be made with or

without a SIM card inserted and regardless of any security

codes.

The emergency call will be directed to a central emergency

operator.

To dial the GSM emergency number, press 112O.

While the emergency call is being made and connected, the

display will show Emergency.

Inserting Pauses Into Phone Numbers

To obtain a three second 'pause' character in a phone number,

press and hold the * key for a couple of seconds, the

pause symbol Ü will appear.

The pause character produces a three second delay whenever

it is used. However, the first pause character in a phone

number is a special case, it will not begin its delay until the call

is answered.

Pause - A Working Example.

If, for example, you have a tone-based voicemail system on

555-6911, with a mailbox number 1066# and password

2001#. Then you may dial the following number

5556911Ü1066Ü2001O.

The first part of the number would be used to call the

voicemail system.

When the call is answered the first pause will produce a delay

of three seconds before the tones for 1066 are sent to select

the mailbox.

There will be a second pause of three seconds before the

tones for 2001 are sent as the password.
