may be initialized.
•Your phone contains metal which may cause itching, rashes or eczema depending on your
constitution or physical condition.
•Take care not to put your phone in the back pocket of your trousers or skirt and then sit on it.
Also, do not put your phone at the bottom of a bag which may be subjected to excessive
weight or pressure. Doing so may damage the LCD and camera lens and cause them to
malfunction.
Aircraft safety
•Switch off your cellphone and remove its battery when inside or near the aircraft. The use of
cellphones in the aircraft is illegal. It may be dangerous to the operation of the aircraft and
may disrupt the cellular network.
Failure to observe this instruction may lead to suspension or denial of cellphone service to the
offender, or legal action, or both.
•Do not use your phone on the ground without the permission of the ground crew.
Hospital safety
•Switch off your phone in areas where the use of cellphones is prohibited. Follow the
instructions given by the respective medical facility regarding the use of cellphones on their
premises.
General safety
•Observe ‘ Turn off 2-way radio’ signs, such as those near stores of fuel, chemicals or
explosives.
•Do not allow children to play with the phone, charger or batteries.
•Small parts are included in your phone. Keep them out of reach of small children, for whom it
could cause a choking hazard.
•The operation of some medical electronic devices, such as hearing aids and pacemakers,
may be affected if a cellphone is used next to them. Observe any warning signs and

Safety And Performances

8
Vehicles equipped with an air bag
An air bag inflates with great force. Do not place objects, including either installed or portable
wireless equipment, in the area over the air bag or in the air bag deployment area. Improper
installation of wireless equipment in vehicle could result in serious injury when the air bag
inflates.
Third party equipment
The use of third party equipment, cables or accessories, not manufactured or authorised by
NEC, may invalidate the warranty of your cellphone and also adversely affect the phone's
operation. For example use only the NEC mains cable supplied with the AC charger.
Service
The cellphone, batteries and charger contain no user-serviceable parts. We recommend that
your NEC cellphone be serviced or repaired by an NEC authorised service center. Please
contact your Service Provider or NEC for advice.
Non-ionizing radiations
The radio equipment shall be connected to the antenna via a non-radiating cable (e.g. coax).
The antenna shall be mounted in a position such that no part of the human body will normally
come into contact with any part of the antenna unless there is an intervening metallic screen, for
example, the metallic roof.
Use only an antenna that has been specifically designed for your phone. Use of unauthorized
antennas, modifications or attachments could damage the mobile phone and may violate the
appropriate regulations, causing loss of performance and radio frequency (RF) energy above
the recommended limits.
Efficient use
For optimum performance with minimum power consumption, please note the following:
•Your phone has the internal antenna. Do not cover part of the internal antenna of the phone
with your hands. This affects call quality, may cause the mobile phone to operate at a higher
power level than needed and may shorten talk and standby times.
Radio frequency energy
Your phone is a low-power radio transmitter and receiver. When it is turned on, it intermittently
receives and transmits radio frequency (RF) energy (radio waves). The system that handles the
call controls the power level at which the phone transmits.
Exposure to radio frequency energy
Your mobile phone is designed not to exceed the limits for exposure to RF energy set by
national authorities and international health agencies. * These limits are part of comprehensive
guidelines and establish permitted levels of radio wave exposure for the general population.
The guidelines were developed by independent scientific organizations such as ICNIRP
(International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection) through periodic and through
evaluation of scientific studies. The limits include a substantial safety margin designed to assure
the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health, and to account for any variations in
measurements.
* Examples of radio frequency exposure guidelines and standards that your phone is designed
to conform to:
•ICNIRP, “Guidelines for limiting exposure to time-varying electric, magnetic, and
electromagnetic fields (up to 300 G Hz)-International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation
Protection (ICNIRP)”, Health Physics, vol. 74. pp, 494-522, April 1998.
•99/519/EC, Council Recommendation on the limitation of exposure to the general public to
electromagnetic fields 0 Hz-300 GHz, Official Journal of the European Communities, July 12,
1999.
•ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1992. “Safety levels with respect to human exposure to radio frequency
electromagnetic fields, 3kHz to 300 GHz”. The Institute of Electrical and Electronics
Engineers Inc., New York, 1991.

Your phone is equipped with a battery and a charger. Other optional accessories can customize your phone for
maximum performance and mobility. All the features described in this user guide are supported by your phone.
For all the features to work, you must have a valid SIM card (included in the package 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.
Before you attempt to use your phone, check that you have:
• A valid SIM card inserted in the phone
• Fully charged battery
Service activation
Before you can use your new NEC phone, the service must be activated by your service provider. Please contact
your local service provider regarding phone activation.
Voice mail messaging and text messaging
Voice mail messaging and text messaging services, when available, are provided by your service provider. Before
you can receive voice or text messages with your phone, you must subscribe to these service options. Contact
your service provider for information on the availability and setup of these services.
Phone password
When your service is activated, a 4-digit PIN is programmed into the SIM. The PIN locks and unlocks your phone,
and provides access to restricted phone settings. Check with your service provider for additional information on
your security PIN.
Getting Started

Before using your phone, you must sign-up/register with a wireless network service provider to receive a personal SIM
(Subscriber Identity Module). The SIM card contains a computer chip that keeps track of your phone number, the
services included in your subscription, and your SIM phonebook information. It is stored in a recess in the battery
compartment.
The phone is unusable (except for emergency calls) until a valid SIM card is inserted. It is possible to transfer your
SIM card to another compatible phone and access your network services. Your phone will display a warning
message if the SIM card is not inserted properly.
Inserting the SIM card
Before inserting the SIM card, make sure the power is switched off.
1Press down the rear cover.
2 Slide the rear cover about 8 mm in the direction indicated by the arrows.
3 Remove the rear cover.
4Unlock the finger tab from the battery lock.
5Lift the battery holding both corners shown by the arrows.
6Remove the battery to reveal the SIM card holder.
7Slide the SIM card in the direction shown in the diagram. Make sure that the SIM card is fully inserted in the
holder.

If the phone or the SIM card
is lost or stolen, you should
contact your service
provider immediately in
order to prevent
unauthorized use.
Be sure to turn the phone
off before inserting and
removing a SIM card.
Otherwise, damage to the
SIM card can occur.
The SIM card contains
personal data such as your
electronic phonebook,
messages, as well as
details of the network
services you have
subscribed to. The phone
will not work (except for
emergency calls on some
networks) unless a valid
SIM is inserted.
Do not bend or scratch
your SIM card.
If the SIM card is not fully
inserted when the battery is
replaced, damage to the
SIM card can occur.
If the SIM card is already
inserted, see “Powering on
the phone” on page 22.

Removing the SIM card
1With the battery removed, press on the slope.
2 While pressing the slope, slide the SIM card so that its notched edge is on the slope.
3Stop pressing the slope and push to slide the SIM card in the direction of the arrow.
Charging the battery for the first time
Your phone is powered by a rechargeable battery. A new phone battery must be fully charged before using your
phone for the first time.
• Before attempting to use your phone, insert the phone's battery. Place the battery terminal end towards the
hinge of the phone. Lower the battery towards the phone to lock into place and slide back the rear cover until
you hear a click.
• Connect the NEC battery charger supplied with your phone to a suitable main power socket.
• Connect the charger plug into the connector at the base of the phone (see right).
• Check that the battery icon becomes animated on the main-LCD or 2nd-LCD. Leave the phone charging until
the battery icon stops moving to ensure that the battery is fully charged.
Checking the battery
The battery charge indicator shows the approximate charge level of the battery while the phone is in use and not
being charged.
• Check the icon at the top right corner of the screen.
