Emergency Services and Safety Precautions
Emergency Services
To make an emergency call in any country
☛Press 1 1 2 .
Ask the operator for the service which you require: Police, Ambulance, Fire Brigade,
Coastguard or Mountain Rescue Services. Give your position and, if possible, remain
stationary to maintain phone contact.
The 112 emergency number service is available on every digital network service. The
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.
•Do not leave the phone or the battery in places where the temperature could exceed
60°C; e.g. on a car dashboard or on a window sill, behind glass in direct sunlight, etc.
•Do not remove the phone’s battery while the phone is switched on.
•Take care not to allow metal objects, such as coins or key rings, to contact or short-
circuit the battery terminals.
•Do not dispose of battery packs 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 4.
•Do not put your phone's battery in your mouth as battery electrolytes may be toxic if
swallowed.

•This equipment is fitted with an internal battery that can only be replaced by a qualified
service engineer. There is a risk of explosion if the battery is replaced by an incorrect
type. Dispose of the used battery in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
•Using any battery pack, AC adapter, Vehicle power adapter (option) or Desktop
charger (option) 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.
•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 pack empty or disconnected 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 LCD and camera lens and cause them malfunction.
•Take care not to hold the Light too close to your or other people’s eyes when the Light
is lit.
Aircraft Safety
•Switch off your phone and remove its battery 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, charger or batteries.
•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.
•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.
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.

ii
•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.
•FCC Report and Order, ET Docket 93-62, FCC 96-326, Federal Communications
Commission (FCC), August 1996.

Getting Started
Preparing the phone
Before trying to use your phone, make sure the followings have been carried out.
•Valid SIM card inserted
•Battery 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 NEC GSM phone helps to ensure that your conversations are kept secure.
2The SIM card contains personal data such as your electronic phonebook, messages (see page 36) 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.

2
,Be sure to turn the phone off before inserting/removing the SIM card. If not, damage to the SIM card can occur.
Inserting a SIM card
☛While pressing down the area (A) of the rear cover, especially the place indicated by the arrow ➀, slide the rear cover in the direction of arrow ➁
with your finger tip. Then, lift the cover up in the direction of arrow ➂to remove it.
☛Lift the knobs of the battery pack up in the direction of arrow ➃. Then slide the battery pack out in the direction of arrow ➄.
☛Insert the SIM card sliding it under the holders of the both sides. Slide the SIM card until it locks.
,Do not scratch the phone body or the rear cover with your finger nail, when removing the rear cover.
,Do not press too firmly on the rear cover and the phone body. The use of excessive force could damage the rear cover and the phone body.
,If the SIM card is not fully inserted when the battery is replaced, damage to the SIM card can occur.
,Do not scratch the holders of the both sides when inserting or removing a SIM card.
2If the SIM card is already fitted, see “Start-up” on page 3.
Removing a SIM card
☛With the battery removed, remove the SIM card sliding it lightly.

Charging the battery
Before trying to use your phone, insert the phone’s battery, connect the NEC battery charger (AC adapter) supplied
with your phone to a suitable mains power socket and then connect the charger’s output to the phone’s charger
connector.
☛Connect the charger plug (AC adapter) into the connector at the side of the phone. Check that the Backlight
illumination glows Apple. When charging is completed, the Backlight illumination goes out.
You are recommended to switch off the phone during charging. If you need to receive calls, your phone can
be switched on and left in standby while being charged, although the total time taken to charge is then
increased.
,Using any battery pack, AC adapter, Vehicle power adapter (option) or Desktop charger (option) not specified by NEC for use with this
phone can be dangerous and may invalidate any warranty and approval given to the cellphone. Do not connect more than one charger at
any time. Do not leave the charger connected to the mains supply when it is not in use.
,Do not try to charge the battery if the ambient temperature is below 5°C(41°F) or above 35°C(95°F).
,DO NOT connect a charger or any other external DC source until the phone’s battery is inserted.
,Damage may result if you do not press in the charger connector’s side catches when removing it from your phone.
2If the phone does not respond, please wait for a few minutes. The charging will then start.
2If you use the phone during charging, handle the phone carefully since the cable or adapter is connected.
2You can also charge the phone by using Desktop charger (option).
Start-up
Switching the phone on
☛Press and hold for about a second to switch on. The screen will display the selected greeting (see page 20) and the phone is then in standby.
2You may need to charge the battery before using your phone. If the phone gives no response when switched on, read the information about batteries
on page 4.
2When your phone is turned on, the specified Ringer may sound.
Switching the phone off
☛Press and hold until the display shows the switch off message.
PIN code
The SIM card issued by your service provider has a security feature called PIN code protection. The PIN (Personal Identification Number) 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.

Caring for Batteries
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 or Cell broadcast messages and the use of Full Rate or Enhanced Full Rate speech, will affect both standby and talk times.
,IMPORTANT BATTERY CHARGING INFORMATION
Charging a very low battery
The battery’s charge continues to drop after the warning is displayed. In extreme cases where the battery is left
uncharged for some considerable time after this warning is displayed, 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.
,DO NOT connect a charger or any other external DC source if the phone’s battery is not inserted.
Checking the battery
☛Check icon at the left of status icon area.
The block on the display shows the charge of your battery pack.
Full battery power Partial battery power Low battery power Battery empty
Low battery alarm
