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 3.

•Do not put your phone's battery in your mouth as battery electrolytes may be toxic if

swallowed.

•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. 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

•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.

•Do not aim or direct the InfraRed (IR) data port towards your or other people’s eyes

when using the IR data exchange.

in your ears.

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.

•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.

public to electromagnetic fields 0 Hz-300 GHz, Official Journal of the European

Communities, July 12,1999.

Getting Started

Preparing the phone

Before trying to use your phone, make sure a valid 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 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.

Inserting a SIM card

☛Release the battery lock in the direction of arrow ➀, and then lift the battery up in the direction of arrow ➁to remove it.

☛Place the straight end of SIM card with the metal part facing down.

☛Carefully move to slide the SIM card lock in the direction of arrow ➂and push the SIM card in the direction of arrow ➃to place the SIM card under

the lock.

SIM card lock SIM card

,Never pull the SIM card lock upward. Doing so may break the lock.

,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 fitted, see “Start-up” on page 3.

Removing a SIM card

☛With the battery removed and lightly holding down the SIM card, slide the SIM card lock in the direction of arrow ➂and remove the SIM card.

2The SIM card may pop out when you release the SIM card lock. Be careful not to drop it.

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. If your

phone is turned on, a message will be displayed on the 2nd-LCD. LED will turn on in red while

charging. When charging is complete, the LEC will turn off.

You are recommended to switch off the phone while 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

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 messages 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 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
