Important Information
This user guide contains important information on the use and operation of this phone.
Please read all the information carefully for optimal performance and to prevent
any damage to or misuse of the phone. Any changes or modifications not expressly
approved in this user guide could void your warranty for this equipment.
Before You Start
Safety Instructions
WARNING
To reduce the possibility of electric shock, do not expose your phone to high
humidity areas, such as the bathroom, swimming pool, etc.
Always store your phone away from heat. Never store your phone in settings that
may expose it to temperatures less than 32°F (0°C) or greater than 104°F (40°C), such
as outside during extreme weather conditions or in your car on a hot day. Exposure to
excessive cold or heat will result in malfunction, damage and/or catastrophic failure.
Be careful when using your phone near other electronic devices. RF emissions
from your mobile phone may affect nearby inadequately shielded electronic equipment.
You should consult with manufacturers of any personal medical devices such as
pacemakers and hearing aides to determine if they are susceptible to interference from
your mobile phone.
Turn off your phone in a medical facility or at a gas station. Never place your phone in a
microwave oven as this will cause the battery to explode.

detailed information is given in this user guide.
• Never use an unapproved battery since this could damage the phone and/or battery
and could cause the battery to explode.
• Never place your phone in a microwave oven as it will cause the battery to explode.
• Your phone contains an internal battery. Do not dispose of your battery by fire or with

• Make sure that no sharp-edged items come into contact with the battery. There is a
risk of this causing a fire.
• Store the battery in a place out of reach of children.
• Be careful that children do not swallow any parts such as rubber plugs (earphone,
connection parts of the phone, etc.). This could cause asphyxiation or suffocation.
• Unplug the power cord and charger during lightning storms to avoid electric shock or
fire.

• Do not use harsh chemicals (such as alcohol, benzene, thinners, etc.) or detergents to
clean your phone. There is a risk of this causing a fire.
• Do not drop, strike, or shake your phone severely. Such actions may harm the internal
circuit boards of the phone.
• Do not use your phone in high explosive areas as the phone may generate sparks.
• Do not damage the power cord by bending, twisting, pulling, or heating.
• Do not use the plug if it is loose as it may cause a fire or electric shock.

FCC RF Exposure Information
WARNING
Read this information before operating the phone.
In August 1996, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the United States,
with its action in Report and Order FCC 96-326, adopted an updated safety standard
for human exposure to radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC
regulated transmitters. Those guidelines are consistent with the safety standard
previously set by both U.S. and international standards bodies.
The design of this phone complies with the FCC guidelines and these international
standards.
CAUTION
Use only the supplied and approved antenna. Use of unauthorized antennas or
modifications could impair call quality, damage the phone, void your warranty and/or
result in violation of FCC regulations. Do not use the phone with a damaged antenna.
If a damaged antenna comes into contact with skin, a minor burn may result. Contact
your local dealer for a replacement antenna.
Body-worn Operation
This device was tested for typical body-worn operations with the back of the phone kept
1 cm (0.39 inches) between the user’s body and the back of the phone. To comply with
FCC RF exposure requirements, a minimum separation distance of 1 cm (0.39 inches)
must be maintained between the user's body and the back of the phone.
Third-party belt-clips, holsters, and similar accessories containing metallic components
may not be used.
