Safety Information i
Safety Information
For your safety, please read the guidelines below carefully
before you use your phone:
Exposure to Radio Frequency Signals
Your wireless handheld portable telephone is a low power transmitter and
receiver. When it is ON, it receives and also sends out radio frequency
(RF) signals.
European and international agencies have set standards and
recommendations for the protection of public exposure to RF
electromagnetic energy.
•International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection
(ICNIRP) 1996
•Verband Deutscher Elektringenieure (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, GS 11,
1988
•American National Standards Institute (ANSI) IEEE. C95.1- 1992
•National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP).
Report 86
•Department of Health and Welfare Canada. Safety Code 6
These standards are based on extensive scientific review. For example,
over 120 scientists, engineers and physicians from universities,
government health agencies and industry reviewed the available body of
research to develop the updated ANSI Standard.
The design of your phone complies with these standards when used
normally.
Max. SAR measurement
EU: GSM900: 0.345 W/Kg; DCS1800: 0.256 W/Kg.
USA: PCS1900:0.622 W/Kg (head); 1.291W/Kg (body).

ii Safety Information
Specific Operating Restrictions
No metallic component allowed in body-worn accessories.
Antenna Care
Use only the supplied or approved replacement antenna. Unauthorized
antennas, modifications or attachments may damage the phone and
violate GCF regulations.
Phone Operation
•Normal Position: Hold the phone as you would with any other
telephone.
•To avoid potential RF interference, please do not wear the phone around
your neck or in front your chest for long hours.
Batteries
•For safety concerns, when the temperature of the phone goes over
45°C (113F) or below 0°C (32F), charging will halt.
•Do not expose batteries to temperatures below -10°C (14F) or above
45°C (113F). Always take your phone with you when you leave your
vehicle.
•Use only genuine BenQ battery to ensure the phone’s normal operation.
All batteries can cause property damage, injury or burns if a conductive
material such as jewelry, keys or beaded chains touches exposed terminals.
The material may complete electrical circuit and become quite hot. To
protect against such unwanted current drain, exercise care in handling any
charged battery, particularly when placing it inside your pocket, purse or
other container with metal objects. When battery is detached from the
phone, your batteries are packed with a protective battery cover; please
use this cover for storing your batteries when not in use.

Safety Information iii
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:
•Give full attention to driving--driving safety is your first responsibility.
•Use hands-free operation, if available.
•Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving
conditions so require.
Electronic Devices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF signals. However,
certain electronic equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals
from your wireless phone.
Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a
minimum separation of six (6") inches be maintained between a handheld
wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the
pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with the independent
research by and recommendations of Wireless 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 minimize the potential for
interference.
If you have any reason to suspect that the interference is taking 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 hearing aid
manufacturer to discuss alternatives.

iv Safety Information
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of
your device to determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF
energy. Your physician 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 inadequately shielded
electronic systems in motor vehicles. 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
Turn your phone OFF in any facility where posted notice so requires.
Aircraft
FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while in the air. Switch OFF
your phone before boarding an aircraft.
Blasting Areas
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your phone OFF when
in a “blasting area” or in area posted “TURN OFF TWO-WAY RADIO.”
Obey all signs and instructions.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Turn your phone OFF and do not remove the battery when in any area
with a potentially explosive atmosphere and obey all signs and
instructions. Sparks, from your battery, in such areas could cause an
explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.

Safety Information v
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always
clearly marked. They include fueling 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 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.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
1. this device may not cause harmful interference, and
2. this device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the
party responsible for compliance could void the user's
authority to operate the equipment.

cause you to lose personal settings or data stored either on your SIM
card or in the phone's memory.

Preparing Your Phone For Use 3
Charging the Phone
1. Insert the charger connector deep into the charger socket at the
bottom of your phone. Ensure that the connector is plugged in the
right direction with the side showing arrow icon or "up" facing
upwards.
2. Plug the charger into a power outlet.
3. Once the phone is fully charged, remove the charger from both the
power outlet and the phone.
Please note:
•It takes approximately 4 hours to fully charge a battery.
•When the battery is weak, the phone will play an alert sound.
•When the battery is discharged, the charging may not start immediately
when you plug in the connector. Wait 10 to 15 minutes for the phone to
begin charging.
Do not remove the battery while the phone is charging.

4Preparing Your Phone For Use
Turning the Phone On
1. Press and hold to turn the phone on. The phone will display
the welcome animation.
2. Enter your PIN code and press to confirm.
The PIN (Personal Identification Number) is the password provided
by your network operator. You need this password in order to use the
SIM card.
To activate/disable PIN password authentication, go to Settings >
Security > PIN Code > PIN 1 Code > Set Status. See page 75.
3. When the PIN code entered has been accepted, the phone will
automatically search for the designated network. This search process
may take a few seconds.
4. The idle screen will be displayed, as well as network signal strength
and the name of the network operator. You can now use the phone.
If the phone is not able to detect the designated network, or links to a
network that you are not authorized to use, the signal strength meter
will show no bars. You will only be able to make emergency calls.
If you enter the PIN incorrectly three times in a row, the SIM card will
be locked. You must now enter the PUK (Personal Unblocking Key)
for that SIM card in order to unlock it. Please contact your network
operator to obtain a PUK.
