Important safety information
■
Traffic safety
Do not use a hand-held telephone while driving a vehicle. If using a hand-held phone park the vehicle before
conversing. 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.
The use of an alert device to operate a vehicle’s lights or horn on public roads is not permitted.
Remember road safety always comes first!
■
Operating environment
Remember to follow any special regulations in force in any area and always switch off your phone whenever it is
forbidden to use it, or when it may cause interference or danger.
When connecting the phone or any accessory to another device, read its user guide for detailed safety instructions.
Do not connect incompatible products.
As with other mobile radio transmitting equipment, users are advised that for the satisfactory operation of the
equipment and for the safety of personnel, it is recommended that the equipment should only be used in the normal
operating position (held to your ear).
■
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 from your wireless phone.
Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum separation of 20 cm (6 inches) be maintained between a
hand-held wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. These recom-

mendations are consistent with the independent research by and recommendations of Wireless Technology
Research.
Persons with pacemakers:
•
Should always keep the phone more than 20 cm (6 inches) 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.
•
If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, switch off your phone 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.
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 they are adequately shielded from external RF energy or if you have any questions.
Switch off your phone 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 inadequately shielded electronic systems in motor vehicles (e.g.
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.

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.
Users are advised to switch off the phone when at a refuelling point (service station). Users are reminded of the
need to observe restrictions on 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 or storage facilities; vehicles using liquified 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.
■
Vehicles
Only qualified personnel should service the phone, or install the phone in a vehicle. Faulty installation or service
may be dangerous and may invalidate any warranty which may apply to the unit.
Check regularly that all wireless phone equipment in your vehicle is mounted and operating properly.
Do not store or carry flammable liquids, gases or explosive materials in the same compartment as the phone, its
parts or accessories.
For vehicles equipped with an air bag, remember that an air bag inflates with great force. Do not place objects,
including both installed or portable wireless equipment 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.
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, or legal action or both.

Emergency calls
Important! This phone, like any wireless phone, operates using radio signals, wireless and landline
networks as well as user-programmed functions which cannot guarantee connection in all conditions.
Therefore, you should never rely solely upon any wireless phone for essential communications (e.g.
medical emergencies).
Remember, to make or receive any calls the phone must be switched on and in a service area with adequate cellular
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 cellular service providers.
To make an emergency call:
1. If the phone is not on, switch it on.
Some networks may require that a valid SIM card is properly inserted in the phone.
2. Press and hold the
key twice for several seconds to ready the phone for calls.
3. Key in the emergency number for your present location (e.g. 112 or other official emergency number).
Emergency numbers vary by location.
4. Press the
(
Call
) key.
If certain features are in use (Keypad lock, Fixed Dialling, etc.), you may first need to turn those features off before
you can make an emergency call. Consult this document and your local cellular service provider.
When making an emergency call, remember to give all the necessary information as accurately 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.
