your time and simplify your life are in the palm of your hand.
Wireless System Structure
Every time you use your wireless phone, different organizations are involved:
All the features described in this user guide are supported by your phone. However, for all these features to work, you must have a SIM
card (main piece that the whole phone functions on; included in the box supplied by your Service Provider) that also supports these
features. Even if you have a fully featured SIM card, any feature not supported by the Network transmitting your call will not work. This
last point is especially important when you are roaming among networks.
User Guide Conventions
The user guide legends direct your attention to specific information and are identified in the right column.
The instructions for all tasks and phone functions start at the Idle screen (see page 3) unless instructed otherwise.
When one or more of the (Left), (Right), (Up), and (Down) symbols are shown in the user guide, press the
corresponding part of the 4 way navigation key to move the cursor, scroll, cycle, or highlight.
The instruction “press” is pressing a key or button for one second or less.
The instruction “press and HOLD”is pressing and holding a key for two to three seconds.
User Guide Legends:

containing instructions. Follow the
directions in the sequential order
provided in the user guide.

Safety and Performance
Fully charge the phone’s battery before you use your new wireless phone (see page 19 for the first time charging instructions).
User Caution
Phone settings should be adjusted to suit the likes and preferences of the individual user. Users sensitive to loud noises or sudden
alarms should take care not to use or set the phone in any manner that may result in the user being unduly alarmed.
For example, an user with heightened sensitivity to noise should adjust the wireless phone to a volume setting that is within his or her
range of comfort. If you believe the wireless phone causes you any adverse reaction, you should discontinue using the phone
immediately.
Emergency Services
Ensure your wireless phone is turned On, the battery is properly charged, and the network connection signal strength level is adequate
before attempting an emergency call. If your battery is empty (see page 19), you can not make or receive any calls, including
emergency calls.
To make an emergency call in the United States,
*Input the emergency number for your present location (i.e., 911 or other designated emergency number).
Press (Send).
Ask the operator for the service you require: Police, Ambulance, Fire, Coastguard or Mountain Rescue Services. Give accurate and necessary
information. If possible, remain stationary to maintain phone contact. Do not terminate the call until given permission to do so.
(See Flags for more emergency information.)
OIn the United States of America, the
emergency number is 911.
OEmergency calls (911) are possible
without service activation or SIM
card. Your location is delivered to
the emergency operator along with
your caller ID as required by FCC
guidelines.
ODue to the nature of the wireless
system, the success of emergency
calls cannot be guaranteed. Never
rely solely on a wireless phone for
essential communications such as
medical emergencies.

Safety
Prior to operating your wireless phone, please read this manual thoroughly, including the care and safety information. Observe the
following guidelines for safe and efficient operation of the phone.
General Care
A wireless phone contains delicate electronic circuitry, magnets, and battery systems. You should treat it with care and give particular
attention to the following points.
lDo not allow the phone or its accessories to come into contact with liquid or moisture at any time.
lDo not place anything in the folded phone.
lDo not expose your phone to extreme high or low temperatures.
lDo not expose your phone to direct flame, cigars or cigarettes.
lDo not paint your phone.
lDo not drop or subject your phone to abusive treatment.
lDo not place the phone near or against computer diskettes, credit cards, travel cards and other magnetic media. The information
contained on disks or cards may be affected by the phone.
lDo not remove the phone’s battery while the phone is turned On.
lDo not allow metal objects, such as coins or key rings, to contact or short-circuit the battery terminals.
lDo not allow children to play with the phone; it is not a toy.
lDo not attempt to disassemble the phone or any of its accessories. For repair, contact an NEC qualified repair center.
lUse only a damp or anti-static cloth to clean the phone. Do NOT use a dry cloth, a saturated wet-cloth, or electrostatically charged
cloth. Do not use chemical or abrasive cleaners as these may damage the case.
(See Flag for recycling information.)
General Safety
lThe earpiece and phone may become warm during normal use. The unit itself may become warm during charging and use.
lObserve ‘Turn off 2-way radio’ signs, such as those near gas stations, chemicals or explosives. (See Flag.)
lA small rubber plug (for hands free socket protection) is included in the carton. Keep this out of reach of small children for whom
it could be a choking hazard.
lDo not allow children to play with the phone, battery charger, batteries or SIM card.
lThe operation of some medical electronic devices (such as hearing aids, cardiac pacemakers, and other implanted equipment)
may be affected if a wireless phone is used next or near to them. Observe any warning signs and manufacturer’s
recommendations.
lDo not place the wireless phone on or near high heat items (e.g., candles, appliances that generate heat, etc.) or areas (e.g.,
fireplace, stoves, etc.) when the wireless phone is in vibrate mode. The vibration could cause the phone to move into the high heat
and cause a hazard.
lDo not sit or place heavy objects on top of the phone at any time to prevent damage to the LCD and camera lens.
lThe wireless phone contains metal, which may cause a rash, itching, eczema, inflammation, or other skin conditions to appear if
the person has metal allergies.
ORemember to recycle: the
cardboard packaging supplied with
this phone is ideal for recycling.
OTurn Off the phone. The wireless
phone can still be a hazard in these
areas even when set in vibrate
mode.

Radio Frequency (RF) Signals
THIS MODEL PHONE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT’S REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.
Your wireless phone contains a radio transmitter and receiver. Your NEC phone is designed and manufactured not to exceed the
emission limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission of the U.S. Government.
These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines
are based on standards that were developed by independent scientific organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation of
scientific studies.
The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR). The
SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg.*Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions accepted by the FCC with the
phone transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest
certified power level, the actual SAR level of the phone while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the
phone is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the power required to reach the network. In general, the closer
you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the output.
Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the limit
established by the government-adopted requirement for safe exposure. The tests are performed on position and locations (for example,
at the ear and worn on the body) as required by FCC for each model. The highest SAR value for this model phone as reported to the FCC
when tested for use at the ear is 1.2 W/kg, and when worn on the body, is .561 W/kg. (Body-worn measurements differ among phone
models, depending upon available accessories and FCC requirements). While there may be differences between the SAR levels of
various phones and at various positions, they all meet the government requirement.
Body-worn Operation
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model phone with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the
FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR information on this model phone is on file with the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant
section at http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fcid after search on FCC ID A98-KMP6J1F1-1A.
For body worn operation, this phone has been tested and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines when used with a NEC accessory
designated for this product or when used with an accessory that contains no metal and that positions the handset a minimum of 1.5 cm
from the body.
Aircraft Safety
The use of wireless phones in aircraft may be dangerous to the operation of the aircraft and may be illegal. Any use of a wireless phone
on board an aircraft must be in accordance with applicable regulations. Follow all flight crew instructions. When instructed to turn Off
your wireless telephone, do so.
Road Safety
Check the laws and regulations concerning the use of wireless telephones and their accessories in the areas where you drive and always
obey them. If you find it necessary to use your cellular telephone behind the wheel of a car, please:
lGive full attention to driving and exercise proper control of your vehicle at all times. (See Flag.)
lObserve all the recommendations contained in your local traffic safety documentation.
lPull off the road and park before making or answering a call, if driving conditions so require.
lTurn Off your wireless phone at a refueling point, such as a gas station, even if you are not refueling your own car.
lDo not store or carry flammable or explosive materials in the same compartment as a wireless phone.
*In the United States, the SAR limit for
wireless mobile phones used by the public
is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over one
gram of tissue. SAR values may vary
depending upon national reporting
requirements and the network band.
OUse hands-free operation, if
available.
