number 999 is an alternative emergency number for the UK only, and can only be used
with a valid SIM card.
2Due to the nature of the cellular system, the success of emergency calls
cannot be guaranteed.
General Care
A cellphone contains delicate electronic circuitry, magnets, and battery systems. You
should treat it with care and give particular attention to the following points.
•Do not allow the phone or its accessories to come into contact with liquid or moisture
at any time.
•Do not place anything in the folded phone.
•Do not expose your phone to extreme high or low temperatures.
•Do not expose your phone to naked flame, cigars or cigarettes.
•Do not paint your phone.
•Do not drop or subject your phone to rough treatment.
•Do not place the phone alongside computer disks, credit cards, travel cards and other
magnetic media. The information contained on disks or cards may be affected by the
phone.
•Take care not to allow metal objects, such as coins or key rings, to contact or short-
circuit the terminals.
•Do not dispose of your phone in a fire. Your phone's Li-ion batteries may be safely
disposed of at Li-ion recycling points. For more specific battery and power supply
information, see page 3.
•Do not attempt to dismantle the phone or any of its accessories.
•This equipment is fitted with an internal battery that can only be replaced by a qualified
service engineer.
•Using any Vehicle power adapter (option), Dual tap (option), AC adapter or accessory
not specified by the manufacturer for use with this phone creates a potential safety
hazard.
•The earpiece may become warm during normal use and the unit itself may become
warm during charging.
•Your phone may become warm during charging and normal use. Do not expose your
phone to your skin for a long time.
•Use a damp or anti-static cloth to clean the phone. Do NOT use a dry cloth or
electrostatically charged cloth. Do not use chemical or abrasive cleaners as these
could damage the case.
•Remember to recycle: the cardboard packaging supplied with this phone is ideal for
recycling.
•Do not leave the battery empty for a long time, otherwise some data may be initialized.
•Your phone contains metal which may cause you an itch, a rash 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 bag where it may subject to
excessive weight or pressure.
Doing so may damage the display and camera lens and cause them malfunction.
•The foam covers the earpiece of the headset. Do not put any other part of the headset
in your ears.
•If you use or leave the phone in high temperature (above 45°C), bubbles may appear
on the surface of the Main-display. In such a case, use the phone in normal
temperature (around 25°C). The bubbles on the Main-display will disappear after a
while.
Aircraft Safety
•Switch off your phone when inside or near aircraft. The use of cellphones in aircraft is
illegal. It may be dangerous to the operation of the aircraft and it 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 or its accessories.
•Small parts are included in your phone. Keep them out of reach of small children, for
whom it could be 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 manufacturer's recommendations.
•Keep your phone away from precision instruments. It may cause noise or malfunction
of the instruments.
•If you have a weak heart, you should take extra precautions when setting functions
such as the Vibrator and Ringer volume functions for incoming calls.
•If you set the Vibrator setting to anything other than OFF, be careful that the phone is
not near a source of heat (e.g. a heater) and that it does not fall from a desk due to the
vibration.
•To avoid risk of burns do not allow the product temperature to exceed 55°C; e.g. do
not leave the phone on a car dashboard or on a window sill, behind glass in direct
sunlight, etc.

ii Emergency Services and Safety Precautions
Road Safety
•You MUST exercise proper control of your vehicle at all times. Give full attention to
driving.
•Observe all the recommendations contained in your local traffic safety documentation.
•Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving conditions so
require.
•You MUST NOT stop on the hard shoulder of a motorway to answer or make a call,
except in an emergency.
•Switch off your phone at a refuelling point, such as a petrol station, even if you are not
refuelling your own car.
•Do not store or carry flammable or explosive materials in the same compartment where
a radio transmitter, such as a cellphone, is placed.
•Electronic vehicle systems, such as anti-lock brakes, speed control and fuel injection
systems are not normally affected by radio transmissions. The manufacturer of such
equipment can advise if it is adequately shielded from radio transmissions. If you
suspect vehicle problems caused by radio transmissions, consult your dealer and do
not switch on your phone until it has been checked by qualified approved installers.
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. If in-vehicle wireless equipment is improperly installed and the air bag inflates,
serious injury could result.
Third Party Equipment
The use of third party equipment, cables or accessories, not made or authorized 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 is serviced or repaired by an NEC authorized service centre.
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 rest close to 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 your 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, 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 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 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 thorough 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.

Getting Started
Getting Started
Preparing the phone
Before trying to use your phone, make sure that a valid Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card is inserted and the battery is charged.
SIM card
Before using your phone, you must sign-up with one of the digital network service providers. In addition to your subscription details you will receive a
personal SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) card which is inserted into your phone.
If the SIM card is removed, the phone becomes unusable until a valid SIM card is fitted. It is possible to transfer your SIM card to another compatible
phone and resume your network subscription. The screen on your phone will display appropriate messages if no SIM card is fitted.
,If the phone, or the SIM card, is lost or stolen then you should contact your service provider immediately in order to bar it from use.
2The phone supports a number of languages and the keyboard symbols have been chosen for world-wide operation.
2The digital technology of your phone helps to ensure that your conversations are kept secure.
2The SIM card contains personal data such as your electronic phonebook, messages (see “Message (M2)” on page 29) and also 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 card is fitted.
,Be sure to turn the phone off before inserting and removing a SIM card. Otherwise damage to the SIM card can occur.
,If you remove the SIM card while the phone is turned on, the phone will restart itself.
Inserting a SIM card
,Be sure to turn the phone off before inserting a SIM card.
☛
Pick up the bump and lift the SIM card compartment cover gently in the direction of the arrow (STEP 1).
,Be careful not to pull out the cover too much. This may cause the SIM card compartment cover
to break apart.
,Make sure to handle the black rubber part that connects the phone and the SIM card
compartment cover gently.
☛Insert the SIM card into the narrow slot in the SIM card compartment in the direction of the arrow
(STEP 2) until it is locked in place (STEP 3). Make sure the metal part of the SIM card is facing front
when viewed from the keypad (see the figure on the right).
,Be careful not to damage electric parts of the SIM card compartment when inserting a SIM
card.
,If the SIM card is not fully inserted, damage to the SIM card can occur.
☛Slide the cover in the direction of the arrows (STEP 4) until the two tabs fit properly inside the cover (STEP 5).
☛Close the cover in the direction of the arrows until the four tabs are locked in the cavities and click (STEP 5 and STEP 6).
2If the SIM card is already fitted, see “Start-up” on page 5.

,IMPORTANT BATTERY CHARGING INFORMATION
Charging a very low battery
The battery’s charge continues to drop after the low battery warning is displayed. In extreme cases where the battery is left uncharged for some
considerable time after this warning, a trickle charge is used to slowly top-up the battery to the safe level at which the fast charging can begin. The
phone can be in trickle charge for a few minutes before the fast charging starts.
Standby and talk times
Your phone works closely with the network you are using to provide the services you need, and the standby and talk times achieved will depend on how
you use the phone and choices made by the network operator.
In particular, factors such as your location within the network, the frequency at which this location is updated, the type of SIM card you have, your
reception of area messages or cell broadcast messages and the use of full rate or enhanced full rate speech, will affect both standby and talk times.
Checking the battery
☛Check icon at the top of the standby screen.
The number of blocks on the icon shows the battery charge level.
Full battery power Partial battery power Low battery power Battery empty
Low battery alarm
When the battery voltage falls below the working level, a low battery warning is displayed on the screen accompanied by LED illumination and a short
tone along with an empty battery icon. The phone will automatically power down shortly afterwards.
2Please charge the battery as much as possible when the battery is very low.

PIN code
The SIM card issued by your service provider has a security feature called PIN code protection. The Personal Identification Number (PIN) is a number
put on to the card by your service provider, and is 4 to 8 digits long. Some service providers supply SIM cards which will cause your phone to prompt for
a PIN code when it is turned on. If this is the case, enter your code with the phone’s keypad. If you insert a SIM card other than your own, information
such as call logs may be lost (see “Security (M17)” on page 26 for details).
