For Your Safety
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
Always store your phone away from heat. Never
store your phone in settings that may expose it to
temperatures less than 32°F or greater than 104°F,
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.
Safety Information
Please read and observe the following information for
the safe and proper use of your phone and to prevent
any unanticipated damage. Also, keep the user’s manual
in an accessible place at all times after reading it.
•Unplug the power cord and charger during a
lightning storm to avoid electric shock or fire.
•Do not use your phone in high explosive areas as the
phone may generate sparks.
IMPORTANT! Please read the TIA SAFETY
INFORMATION on page 72 before using your phone.
WARNING! To reduce the possibility of electric shock,
do not expose your phone to high humidity areas, such as
the bathroom, swimming pool, etc.

•Do not put your phone in a place subject to
excessive dust, and keep the minimum required
distance between the power cord and heat sources.
•Do not damage the power cord by bending, twisting,
pulling, or subjecting it to heat. Do not use the plug
if it is loose as it may cause fire or electric shock.
•Hold the power cord plug firmly to plug and unplug
the power cord. Ensure the plug is firmly connected.
If it is not firmly connected, it may cause excessive
heat or fire.
•Do not place a heavy item on the power cord. Do not
allow the power cord to be crimped as it may cause
fire or electric shock.
•Be careful not to let the battery contact metal
conductors such as a necklace or coins. When
shorted, it may cause an explosion.
•Do not disassemble or impact the battery as it may
cause electric shock, short-circuit, and fire. Store the
battery in a place out of reach of children.
•Using a damaged battery or placing a battery in your
mouth may cause serious injury.
•Charging is displayed on the screen after the travel
adapter is connected. Only if the battery is totally
empty, it takes long time to display “Charging.”
•Do not place items containing magnetic components
such as a credit card, phone card or a subway ticket,
near your phone. The magnetic strip can be
damaged by the phone.
•Do not hold or let the antenna come in contact with
your body during a call.
•Talking on your phone for a long period of time may
reduce the call quality due to heat generated during
the use of the phone.
•Do not allow excessive vibration or impact to the
phone.
•When you do not plan to use the phone for a long
period of time, store it in a safe area with the power
cord unplugged.

For Your Safety
FCC RF Exposure Information
In August 1996, the Federal Communications (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 10mm
between the use's body and the back of the phone.
To comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, a
minimum separation distance of 10mm 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 should
not be used. Body-worn accessories that cannot
maintain 3/4 inch (2 cm) separation distance
between the user’s body and the back of the phone,
and have not been tested for typical body-worn
operations may not comply with FCC RF exposure
limits and should be avoided.
Vehicle Mounted External Antenna
(optional, if available)
A minimum separation distance of 8 inches (20 cm)
must be maintained between the user/bystander and
the vehicle mounted external antenna to satisfy FCC
RF exposure requirements.
For more information about RF exposure, visit the FCC
website at www.fcc.gov
WARNING! Read this information before operating
the phone.

If you are inside a building, being near a window may
give you better reception. You can see the strength of
your signal by the signal indicator ( ) on your
phone’s display screen.
Entering Text
You can enter alphanumeric characters by using the

or four times until the letter is displayed.
123 Mode(Numbers Mode)
