Reference information

Leaving the battery in hot or cold places, such as in a closed car in summer
or winter conditions, will reduce the capacity and lifetime of the battery.
Always try to keep the battery between 59°F and 77°F (15°C and 25°C).

A phone with a hot or cold battery may temporarily not work, even when
the battery is fully charged. Batteries' performance is particularly limited
in temperatures well below freezing.

Do not dispose of batteries in a fire!

Dispose of batteries according to applicable local regulations (for example,
recycling). Do not dispose of as household waste.

• IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

Traffic safety

Do not use a wireless telephone while driving a vehicle. Always secure the
phone in its holder; do not place the phone on the passenger seat or where
it can break loose in a collision or sudden stop.

Remember road safety always comes first!

Operating environment

Remember to follow any special regulations and always switch off your
phone wherever forbidden, or when it may cause interference or danger.

When connecting the phone or enhancement to another device, read

its user’s guide for safety instructions. Do not connect incompatible
products.

As with other mobile radio transmitting equipment, users are advised to
operate this equipment only in the normal operating position (held to
your ear with the antenna pointing over your shoulder).

Pacemakers

Pacemaker manufacturers recommend a distance of 6 inches (20 cm)

be maintained between a hand-held wireless phone and a pacemaker

to avoid interference with the pacemaker. These recommendations

are consistent with independent research and recommendations of

Wireless Technology Research.

PERSONS WITH A PACEMAKER:

Should always keep the phone more than 6 inches (20 cm) from their
pacemaker when the phone is switched on.

Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket.

Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential
for interference.

Should switch off the phone immediately if there is any reason to
suspect that interference is taking place.

Hearing aids

Some digital wireless phones may interfere with hearing aids. In the event
of such interference, consult your wireless provider.

Other medical devices

Operation of any radio transmitting equipment, including cellular phones,
may interfere with the functionality of inadequately protected medical
devices. Consult a physician or the manufacturer of the medical device to
determine if it is adequately shielded from external RF energy, or if you
have any questions.

Switch off your phone in health care facilities when regulations posted in
these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may
be using equipment that could be sensitive to RF energy.

Electronic devices

Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from radio frequency

(RF) signals. However, certain electronic equipment may not be shielded
against the RF signals emanating from your wireless phone.

Posted facilities

Switch your phone off in any facility where posted notices so require.

Potentially explosive atmospheres

Switch off your phone when in any area with a potentially explosive
atmosphere and obey all signs and instructions. Sparks in such areas could
cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.

Reference information

Users are advised to switch off the phone when at a refuelling point
(service station). Users are reminded of the need to observe restrictions
regarding the use of radio equipment in fuel depots (fuel storage and
distribution areas), chemical plants, or where blasting operations are

in progress.

Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often but not always
clearly marked. They include below deck on boats, chemical transfer/
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 be
advised to turn off your vehicle engine.

Vehicles

Only qualified personnel should install or service the phone in a vehicle.
Faulty installation or service may be dangerous and invalidate the warranty.

RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded
electronic systems in motor vehicles (for example, electronic fuel
injection systems, electronic anti-skid (anti-lock) braking systems,
electronic speed control systems, air bag systems).

Check with the manufacturer or its representative regarding your vehicle.
You should also consult the manufacturer of any equipment that has been
added to your vehicle.

Ensure all wireless phone equipment in your vehicle is mounted and
operating properly.

Do not carry or store flammable liquids, gases or explosive materials in the
same compartment as the phone or its enhancements.

For vehicles equipped with an air bag, remember that an air bag inflates
with great force. Do not place any objects in the area over the air bag or
in the air bag deployment area. If in-vehicle wireless equipment is improperly
installed and the air bag inflates, serious injury could result.

Aircraft

FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while in the air. Switch off your
phone before boarding an aircraft. The use of wireless telephones in an
aircraft may be dangerous to the operation of the aircraft, disrupt the
wireless telephone network, and may be illegal.

Failure to observe these instructions may lead to suspension or denial of
telephone services to the offender, legal action, or both.

Emergency calls

Note: This phone, like any wireless phone, operates using radio
signals and cannot be guaranteed to connect in all conditions.
Therefore, you should never rely solely upon any wireless phone

for essential communications (such as medical emergencies).

Remember, to make or receive any calls the phone must be switched on
and in a service area with adequate signal strength. Emergency calls may
not be possible on all wireless phone networks or when certain network
services and/or phone features are in use. Check with local wireless
providers for more information.

MAKE AN EMERGENCY CALL:
1

If the phone is not on, switch it on.

Note: Some networks may require that a valid SIM card be
properly inserted in the phone.

2

Press and hold the End key to return to the start screen.

3

Enter the emergency number for your present location (for example,
911 or other official emergency number). Emergency numbers vary

by location.

4

Press the Talk key.

When making an emergency call, remember to provide all information as
accurately and clearly as possible. Remember that your wireless phone
may be the only means of communication at the scene of an accident—
do not cut off the call until given permission to do so.
