Export Information
The mobile phone may be subject to ex-
port regulation of the United States and
other countries. Diversion contrary to law
is prohibited. You must comply with all
applicable export laws, restrictions and
regulations of the United States foreign
agencies or authorities, and may not ex-
port, or transfer for the purpose of re-ex-
port, the mobile phone or any part of the
phone in violation of any applicable re-
strictions, laws or regulations, or without
all necessary approvals.
Network Services
A number of features included in this
guide are called Network Services. They
are special services provided by wireless
service providers. In order to use any of
these Network Services, you must sub-
scribe to these service(s) from your ser-
vice provider and obtain instructions
for their use. Some of these Network
Services may not be available when
roaming on a network other than your
home network.
Standby and
Talk Time Information
The mobile phone incorporates features
that are new to the mobile phone world.
These may include color displays and
lighting, graphic games, music repro-
duction and browsing the Internet. The
way you use the display and the features
will affect the performance of the bat-
tery and how long it lasts between
charge cycles. The quoted standby times
and talk times show the minimum and
maximum performance that can be ex-
pected from the battery under normal
network conditions and with the default
settings as set by the factory. However,
playing games (particularly with the
backlight continuously switched on)
and listening to music will shorten the
time available for standby and to make
and receive telephone calls. Operation
times also vary depending on network
conditions, SIM settings, charging and
battery condition, how you use your
phone and other factors.

Memory
The mobile phone contains an internal
memory device that stores the software
required to operate the mobile phone,
communicate with the GSM/GPRS net-
work and provide the user interface.
Some features in the internal memory
run additional devices and some addi-
tional games and utilities. The amount
of memory available in the mobile
phone is finite and may be insufficient
to store large numbers of applications
and files.
Warning!
Remember to back up your data and to do
so frequently. Always back up all data and
programs before sending the mobile
phone in for repair.

Safety precautions
Information for parents
Please read the operating instructions and safety precautions carefully before use.
Explain the content and the hazards associated with using the phone to your children.
Remember to comply with le-
gal requirements and local re-
strictions when using the
phone. For example in
aeroplanes, petrol stations,
hospitals or whilst driving.
Cellular phones can interfere
with the functioning of medi-
cal devices such as hearing aids
or pacemakers. Keep at least
9inches(20cm)between
phone and pacemaker. When
using the cell phone hold it to
the ear which is farthest from
the pacemaker. For more in-
formation consult your doctor.
Small parts such as the SIM
Card, dust cap, lens ring and
lens cap as well as the RS Mul-
tiMediaCard can be disman-
tled and swallowed by small
children. The phone must
therefore be stored out of the
reach of small children.
Tones, music and handsfree
talking are reproduced through
the loudspeaker. Do not hold
the phone to your ear when it
rings or when you have
switched on the handsfree func-
tion. Otherwise you risk serious
permanent damage to your
hearing.
Only use original batteries
(100 % mercury-free) and –
charging devices. Otherwise
you risk serious damage to
health and property. For in-
stance, the battery may explode.
Do not look at the LED (e.g. ac-
tivated infrared port, flash
LED) with optical magnifiers
because of radiation.
This product complies with
IEC/EN 60825-1 "Safety of
Laser Products" for LED Class
1M products; such products
are safe under reasonably
foreseeable operating
conditions.
The mains voltage specified on
the power supply unit (V)
must not be exceeded. Other-
wise the charging device may
be destroyed.
The power supply must be
plugged into an easily accessi-
ble AC mains power socket
when charging the battery.
The only way to turn off the
charging device after charging
the battery is to unplug it.
Do not use a handheld while
driving.

Bluetooth®
Your phone has a Bluetooth interface. This
makes it possible to establish a wireless
connection with your phone and a headset,
a car kit or other Bluetooth-enabled
devices.
In order to establish a secure link between
the devices and to prevent a third party
from having access to your phone, you
should observe the following points:
• The initial connection between two devic-
es, what is called "pairing", should take
place in familiar surroundings.
• Both devices must be able to identify
themselves one time by using a pass-
word/PIN. To ensure sufficient security,
you should choose a 16-digit number
combination for a password that would
be difficult to guess (if a PIN has not been
assigned).
Do not place the phone near to
electromagnetic data carriers
such as credit cards and floppy
disks. Information stored on
them could be lost.
You may only open the phone
to replace the battery (100 %
mercury-free) or SIM and
RS MultiMediaCard. You
must not open the battery un-
der any circumstances. All
other changes to this device
are strictly prohibited and will
invalidate the guarantee.
Permanent hearing loss may
occur if you use ear- or head-
phones at high volume.You
can adapt over time to a higher
volume, which may sound
normal but can be damaging
to your hearing. Set your vol-
ume to a safe level. If you expe-
rience ringing in your ears,
reduce the volume or discon-
tinue use of your system.
Please dispose of unwanted
batteries and phones as per-
mitted by the laws in your
country.
The phone may cause interfer-
ence in the vicinity of TV sets,
radios and PCs.
Use only original accessories.
This will avoid potential risks
to health or property and en-
sure compliance with all rele-
vant regulations.
Improper use will invalidate the guaran-
tee! These safety instructions also apply
to original accessories.
Product attributes are subject to changes
in technology, design and availability.
BenQ reserves the right to modify prod-
ucts without prior notice.
This cellular phone offers a range of func-
tions, it can be used in positions other
than the head, such as on the body. In this
case, separation distance of 2.0 cm is re-
quired. When a carry case, belt clip or
holder is used for body-worn operation, it
should not contain metal and should po-
sition the device the above-stated dis-
tance from your body.

• An automatic connection acceptance
("connection without confirmation")
should only be used in exceptional cases.
• In general, only trustworthy devices
should be linked in order to minimise se-
curity risks.
• You should restrict the "visibility" of your
phone if possible. This will make it much
more difficult for unknown devices to es-
tablish a connection with your phone. To
do this, in the Bluetooth menu, set the op-
tion Visib.to others from Always visible
to Not visible (page 75).
• The name of your phone is transmitted in
a Bluetooth connection. The factory de-
fault is the "Bluetooth ID". The first time
Bluetooth is activated, or later in the
Bluetooth menu, you can change this
name (My BT name, page 75).
• If Bluetooth is not needed, this function
should be deactivated.
Before using Bluetooth accessories, or a
mobile phone inside a vehicle, check the ve-
hicle user guide for any limitations on the
use of these products.
Antenna care
Use only the supplied or an approved re-
placement antenna. Unauthorized anten-
nas, modifications, or attachments could
damage the phone and may violate
FCC regulations.
Phone operation
Normal position
Hold the phone as you would any other tele-
phone with the antenna pointed up and
over your shoulder.
Tips on efficient operation
For your phone to operate most efficiently:
• Extend your antenna fully (if applicable).
• 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.

Important
Read this information before using your
wireless handheld phone.
As this mobile phone is equipped with a
fixed (non-retractable) antenna, some
paragraphs in the text below may not be
applicable.

Driving
Laws pertaining to the use of mobilephones
while driving vary significantly from state
to state and sometimes even from locality to
locality within states. For example, some ar-
eas may allow persons to use their mobile
phones only if they employ a hands-free de-
vice, and some areas mayprohibit theuse of
cell phones entirely. Accordingly, BenQ
recommends that persons check the laws
for the areas in which they drive or will be
driving. For areas where the use of mobile
phones while driving is permitted, BenQ
encourages persons to use their phones re-
sponsibly and to employ hands-free devic-
es. Also, if using your phone while driving,
please:
• Give full attention to driving – driving
safely 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.
For vehicles equipped with
air bags
An air bag inflates with great force.
DO NOT place objects, including either in-
stalled or portable wireless equipment, in
the area over the air bag or in the air bag de-
ployment area. If in-vehicle wireless equip-
ment is improperly installed and the air bag
inflates, serious injury could result.
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
The Health Industry Manufacturers' Asso-
ciation recommends that a minimum sepa-
ration of six inches (6") be maintained
between a handheld wireless phone and a
pacemaker to avoid potential interference
with the pacemaker. These recommenda-
tions 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 minimize the potential for interference;
• should turn the phone OFF immediately
if there is any reason to suspect that inter-
ference is taking place.
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 your hearing aid manu-
facturer to discuss alternatives.

Template: Minion, 140x105 mm, Version 2.0; VAR Language: en; VAR issue date: 060519
Other medical devices
If you use any other personal medical devic-
es, consult the manufacturers of your devic-
es to determine if they are adequately
shielded from external RF energy. Your
physician may be able to assist you in ob-
taining this information.
Turn your phone OFF in health care facili-
ties when any regulations posted in these
areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or
health care facilities may be using equip-
ment 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 manufac-
turer or its representative regarding your
vehicle. You should also consult the manu-
facturer of any equipment that has been
added to your vehicle.
Posted facilities
Turn your phone OFF in any facility where
posted notices so require.
Airplanes
FCC and Airline Regulations prohibit using
your phone while in the air. Turn your
phone OFF when requested by the airline.
Check and comply with the policy of your
airline regarding the use of your phone
while the airplane is on the ground.
Blasting areas
To avoid interfering with blasting opera-
tions, turn your phone OFF when in a “blast-
ing area” or in areas posted: “Turn off two-
way radio.” Obey all signs and instructions.
Potentially explosive
atmospheres
Turn your phone OFF 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.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmo-
sphere 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; ve-
hicles 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.
Emergency calls (SOS)
Your wireless phone can be used to make
emergency calls. You can make an emer-
gency call from the main display screen.
Enter the local emergency number such as
911 and then press the Akey.

This phone, like any wireless phone, oper-
ates using radio signals, wireless and land-
line networks, and user-programmed
functions. Because of this, connections in
all conditions cannot be guaranteed. There-
fore, you should never rely solely on any
wireless phone for essential communica-
tions (for example, medical emergencies).
Remember – to make or receive any calls,
the phone must be switched on and be used
in a service area that has adequate signal
strength. Emergency calls might not be pos-
sible on all wireless phone networks or
when certain network services or phone
features are in use. Check with local service
providers regarding their network features.
Always make certain that your phone is
properly charged before attempting any
emergency calls. If you allow your battery to
discharge, you will be unable to receive or
make calls, including emergency calls. You
must then wait a few minutes after the
charging begins to place any
emergency calls.
When making an emergency call, remember
to give all of the necessary information as ac-
curately as possible. Remember that your
wireless phone might be the only means of
communication at the scene of an accident,
therefore you should not terminate the call
until given permission to do so.
Batteries and Chargers
Only use original batteries (100% mercury-
free) and charging devices. Use of non-orig-
inal batteries and/or charging devices may
cause explosion resulting in serious injury
and/or property damage. Use original ac-
cessories in order to avoid possible injury
and property damage and to ensure compli-
ance with applicable laws and regulations.
Improper use invalidates the warranty.

Getting started
Your phone's display is covered with a
protective film. Remove this before us-
ing the phone.
Inserting SIM Card/
battery
The service provider supplies you with a
SIM Card on which all the important
data for your line is stored. If the SIM
Card has been delivered in credit-card
size, snap the smaller segment out and
remove any rough edges.
• Place the SIM Card in front of the slot
with the contacts facing downwards.
Then push the SIM Card fully into
the holder using gentle pressure 1.
Ensure that the cut-off corner is in
the correct position.
• Insert the battery sideways into
the phone 2, then press it
downwards 3until it engages.
• To remove, press the retaining tab on
the side of the battery, then lift the
battery out.
In rare cases static
discharge can cause
temporary discolou-
ration in the display.
However, this will
disappear within ap-
prox. 10 minutes.

Charging the battery
Charging
The battery is not fully charged when
delivered. Plug the charger cable into
the bottom of the phone, plug the power
supply unit into a mains power socket
and charge for at least two hours (for
charging via USB, see page 88). Do not
interrupt the charging procedure
prematurely.
àDisplay when charging is in
progress.
Charging time
An empty battery is fully charged after
about 2 hours. Charging is only possible
within a temperature range of +5 °C to
+40 °C (+41°F to +104°F). If the tem-
perature rises/falls 5°C above/below
this, i.e drops to 32°F or rises to 113°F,
the charge symbol flashes a warning.
The mains voltage specified on the pow-
er supply unit must not be exceeded.
Operating time
The operating time depends upon the
respective network conditions and con-
ditions of use. Extreme temperatures
considerably reduce the phone’s stand-
by time. You should therefore avoid the
leaving the phone in the sun or on a ra-
diator (talktime, standby time see
page 121).
Charge icon not visible
If the battery has been discharged fully,
the charge icon is not immediately visi-
ble when the power supply is plugged in.
It will appear after up to two hours. In
this case the battery is fully charged after
3 to 4 hours.
Only use the plug-in power supply unit
included in delivery!
Display during operation
Charge level display during operation
(empty–full):
ÝÞß
A beep sounds when the battery is near-
ly empty. The charge level of the battery
is only displayed correctly after an unin-
terrupted charging/discharging cycle.
You should therefore not remove the
batteryunnecessarily and where possible
not terminate the charging process be-
fore completion.
Additional information
The power supply unit heats up when used
for long periods. This is normal and not
dangerous.
If the battery is removed for longer than
30 seconds, the clock must be reset.
