Display: The display is an illuminated 128 x 64 pixels LCD, covered by anti-reflex treated plastic
glass for maximum readability. Display contrast is manually adjustable.
Keypad: The illuminated keypad is ideal for low light environments. When not in use, the keypad
can be locked to prevent accidental key presses.
SIM Card: The SIM card contains all personal settings such as phonebook, identity, alert signal
and your defined functions for soft keys and hot keys. All personal settings are retained if the
SIM card is moved to another handset.
Battery: The battery is a rechargeable Lithium Ion battery.
Contacting Emergency Services
This handset, like any wireless phone, communicates using radio signals. As with any wireless
phone, you may not be able to establish a connection under all conditions, therefore, you should
not rely solely on a wireless telephone for essential, emergency communication. The key lock
feature disables the handset keypad and prevents the accidental dialing of numbers that may
result in nuisance calls. It also prevents accidental calls to emergency services numbers like
911, 999, or 112.
To disable the key lock feature, press the key and then press YES.
Currently, mobile IP phones do not support Enhanced 911 (E911) operation. If emergency
services are required, it is necessary to keep the system administrator and the location database
current.
Tips for your Comfort and Safety
Don't cradle the handset!
Prolonged use of the handset can lead to neck, shoulder, or back discomfort, especially if you
cradle the handset between your ear and shoulder. If you use your phone a lot, you may find
it more comfortable to use a headset. See the section on headset usage elsewhere in this guide
for more information.
Protect your hearing
Your phone has a control for adjusting the volume of the handset receiver or headset. Because
continuous exposure to loud sounds can contribute to hearing loss, keep the volume at a
moderate level.
Frequency Range
The handset is a radio transmitter and receiver. When it is on, it receives and sends out radio
frequency (RF) energy. The handset operates on different frequency ranges depending on
market and employs commonly used modulation techniques:
•EU:1880 - 1900 MHz
• USA: 1920 - 1930 MHz

About Your Phone

•LA: 1910 - 1930 MHz
Exposure to Radio Frequency Signals
This device complies with FCC SAR limit of 1.6 W/kg. The maximum SAR value measured
when used at the ear is 0.0081 W/kg. The telephone has also been tested when worn on the
body using belt clip, maximum measured SAR value in this configuration is 0.0255 W/kg.
Environmental Requirements
• Only use the handset in temperatures between 0C to +40C (32F to 140F).
• Avoid exposing the handset for direct sunlight or close to other heat sources.
• Keep the handset away from excessive heat and moisture.
• Do not expose the handset to open flame.
• Keep the handset away from strong electromagnetic fields.
Chemical Resistance
The alpha and numeric characters printed on the exterior of the handset have been tested and
found resistant to chipping, fading or wearing off when the handset is treated with common
cleaners and disinfectants or perspiration. The following chemicals have shown no harmful
effect:
• 3% Hydrochloric Acid
• M-alcohol (70% Methylated Ethanol)
• 60% Chlorhexidin 0.5mg/ml
Acetone can be damaging to the plastic casing of the handset and should not be used.
Icons and Text in the Display
The icons and text in the display indicate functions and settings to which you have access. The
display normally shows the owner ID and the system ID, for example “System A”. This indicates
that the handset is in contact with System A. The owner ID is manually set by the user.
