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 or Vehicle power

adapter (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.

•Do not aim or direct the InfraRed (IR) data port towards

your or other people’s eyes when using the IR data

exchange.

•The foam covers the earpiece of the headset (option). Do

not put any other part of the headset 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.

Emergency Services and

Safety Precautions

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.

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.
