NEC 535
Welcome to the NEC 535 wireless phone.
Your NEC 535 wireless phone is equipped with a battery, SIM card, hands-free headset, and a charger. Other accessory options
can customize your phone for greater performance and mobility. To purchase optional accessories, contact your wireless service
provider or contact NEC customer Care Center at 1-800-637-5917.
Wireless System Structure
Every time you use your wireless phone, different organizations are involved:
All the 535 features described in this user guide are supported by your phone. However, for all these features to work, you must
have a SIM card (main piece that the whole phone functions on; included in the box supplied by your Service Provider) that also
supports these features. Even if you have a fully featured SIM card, any feature will not work if it is not supported by the Network
transmitting your call. This last point is especially important when you are roaming among networks.

Safety and Performance
Fully charge the phone’s battery before you use your new wireless phone (see page 25 for the first time charging instructions).
User Caution
Phone settings should be adjusted to suit the likes and preferences of the individual user. Users sensitive to loud noises or sudden
alarms should take care not to use or set the phone in any manner that may result in the user being unduly alarmed.
For example, users with heart problems or heightened sensitivity to noise should adjust the wireless phone to a volume setting
that is within his or her range of comfort. If you believe the wireless phone causes you any adverse reaction, you should
discontinue using the phone immediately.
Emergency Services
Ensure your wireless phone is turned On, the battery is properly charged, and the network connection signal strength level is
adequate before attempting an emergency call. If your battery is empty, you can not make or receive any calls, including
emergency calls. Emergency calls are possible without service activation or a SIM card by pressing Softkey 1 (SOS).
To make an emergency call in the United States,
*Press END key to return to the Idle screen if needed.
Input 911 (or other designated emergency number).
Press the SEND key. (Your location and caller ID is delivered to the emergency operator as required by FCC guidelines.)
Follow instructions received and do not end the emergency call until told to do so.
Ask the operator for the service you require: Police, Ambulance, Fire, Coastguard or Mountain Rescue Services. Give your position and
accurate and necessary information. If possible, remain stationary to maintain contact. Do not terminate the call until given permission to
do so.
OFind out what the designated emergency number is for the area that you are within when traveling outside the United States.
The 911 emergency number service is available on every digital network service while in the United States. Designated
emergency numbers can only be used with a valid SIM.
ODue to the nature of the wireless system, the connection of emergency calls cannot be guaranteed. Never rely solely on a
wireless phone for essential communications such as medical emergencies.
OWhen the SIM card is not inserted or when the dial lock function is on, just press the Softkey 1 (SOS).

Safety
Prior to operating your wireless phone, please read this manual thoroughly, including the care and safety information. Observe the
following guidelines for safe and efficient operation of the phone.
General Care
A wireless phone contains delicate electronic circuitry, magnets, and battery systems. You should treat it with care and give
particular attention to the following points.
lDo not allow the phone or its accessories to come into contact with liquid or moisture at any time.
lDo not place anything in the folded phone.
lDo not expose your phone to extreme high or low temperatures.
lDo not leave your phone
lDo not expose your phone to direct flame, cigars or cigarettes.
lDo not paint your phone.
lDo not drop or subject your phone to abusive treatment.
lDo not place the phone near or against computer diskettes, credit cards, travel cards and other magnetic media. The
information contained on disks or cards may be affected by the phone.
lDo not remove the phone’s battery while the phone is turned On.
lDo not allow children to play with the phone; it is not a toy.
lDo not sit on your phone with it in a skirt or pants pocket and do not place heavy objects on top of the phone at any time
where it may be subjected to heave weight or pressure. Doing so may damage to the LCD and camera lens and cause them
to malfunction.
lDo not attempt to disassemble the phone or any of its accessories. For repair, contact an NEC qualified repair center.
lUse only a damp or anti-static cloth to clean the phone. Do NOT use a dry cloth, a saturated wet-cloth, or electrostatically
charged cloth. Do not use chemical or abrasive cleaners as these may damage the case.
13

General Safety
lThe earpiece and phone may become warm during normal use. The unit itself may become warm during charging and use.
lPut only the headset’s earpiece covered with foam in your ear. Do not put any other part of the headset in your ears.
lObserve ‘Turn off 2-way radio’ signs, such as those near gas stations, chemicals or explosives.
lA small rubber plug (for hands free socket protection) is included in the carton. Keep this out of reach of small children for
whom it could be a choking hazard.
lDo not allow children to play with the phone, battery charger, batteries or SIM card.
lThe operation of some medical electronic devices (such as hearing aids, cardiac pacemakers, and other implanted equipment)
may be affected if a wireless phone is used next or near to them. Observe any warning signs and manufacturer’s
recommendations.
lDo not place the wireless phone on or near high heat items (e.g., candles, appliances that generate heat, etc.) or areas (e.g.,
fireplace, stoves, etc.) when the wireless phone is in vibrate mode. The vibration could cause the phone to move into the high
heat and cause a hazard.
lUsing any battery pack, AC adapter, or vehicle power adapter not specified by the manufacturer for use with the 535 wireless
phone may create a potential safety hazard.
lTake care not to hold the Light too close to your eyes or other people’s eyes when the Light is on.
lDo not aim or direct the InfraRed (IR) data port towards your eyes or other people’s eyes when using the IR data exchange.
lThe wireless phone contains metal, which may cause a rash, itching, eczema, inflammation, or other skin conditions to appear
if the person has metal allergies.
lTurn off your phone in any facility where posted notices require you to do so.
OWhen in hazardous areas, turn off the phone. The wireless phone can still be a hazard in these areas even when set in
vibrate mode.
ORemember to recycle: the cardboard packaging supplied with this phone is ideal for recycling.

Radio Frequency (RF) Signals
THIS MODEL PHONE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT’S REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.
Your wireless phone contains a radio transmitter and receiver. Your NEC phone is designed and manufactured not to exceed the
emission limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission of the U.S.
Government. These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general
population. The guidelines are based on standards that were developed by independent scientific organizations through periodic
and thorough evaluation of scientific studies.
The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR).
The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg.* Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions accepted by the FCC
with the phone transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the
highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the phone while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is
because the phone is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the power required to reach the network. In
general, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the output.
Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the limit
established by the government-adopted requirement for safe exposure. The tests are performed on position and locations (for
example, at the ear and worn on the body) as required by FCC for each model. The highest SAR value for this model phone as
reported to the FCC when tested for use at the ear is (0.56)W/kg, and when worn on the body, is (0.26)W/kg. (Body-worn
measurements differ among phone models, depending upon available accessories and FCC requirements). While there may be
differences between the SAR levels of various phones and at various positions, they all meet the government requirement.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model phone with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance
with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR information on this model phone is on file with the FCC and can be found under the
Display Grant section at http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fcid after search on FCC ID A98-KMP6J1L1-9.
For body worn operation, this phone has been tested and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines when used with a NEC
accessory designated for this product or when used with an accessory that contains no metal and that positions the handset a
minimum of 1.5 cm from the body.
*In the United States, the SAR limit for wireless mobile phones used by the public is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over one gram
of tissue. SAR values may vary depending upon national reporting requirements and the network band.
15

Aircraft Safety
The use of wireless phones in aircraft may be dangerous to the operation of the aircraft and may be illegal. Any use of a wireless
phone on board an aircraft must be in accordance with applicable regulations. Follow all flight crew instructions. When instructed
to turn off your wireless telephone, do so.
Road Safety
Check the laws and regulations concerning the use of wireless telephones and their accessories in the areas where you drive and
always obey them. If you find it necessary to use your cellular telephone behind the wheel of a car, please:
lGive full attention to driving and exercise proper control of your vehicle at all times.
lObserve all the recommendations contained in your local traffic safety documentation.
lPull off the road and park before making or answering a call, if driving conditions so require.
lTurn off your wireless phone at a refueling point, such as a gas station, even if you are not refueling your own car. The
wireless phone can still be a hazard in these areas even when set in vibrate mode.
lDo not store or carry flammable or explosive materials in the same compartment as a wireless phone.
OUse hands-free operation, if available, when driving.
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 wireless equipment is improperly installed in the vehicle and the air bag inflates,
serious injury could result.
Blasting Areas And Explosive Atmospheres
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn Off your phone when in a blasting area or areas posted: “Turn Off Two-Way
Radio.” Obey all signs and instructions.
Turn Off your phone prior to entering any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere, and obey all signs and instructions. Do not
remove, install, or change batteries in such areas. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury
or even death.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always, clearly marked. These include fueling areas such as
gasoline stations; below deck on boats; fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities; vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such
a propane or butane); areas where oxygen is used; areas where the air contains chemicals or particles such as grain, dust, or
metal powders; and any other area where you would normally be advised to turned Off your vehicle engine.
