Safety
Never attempt to disassemble your phone. You alone are
responsible for how you use your phone and any consequences
of its use.
As a general rule, always switch off your phone wherever the use
of a phone is prohibited. Use of your phone is subject to safety
measures designed to protect users and their environment.
Do not use your phone in damp areas (bathroom, swimming
pool…). Protect it from liquids and other moisture.
Do not expose your phone to extreme temperatures lower than
- 10°C and higher than + 55°C.
The physicochemical processes created by chargers impose
temperature limits when charging the battery. Your phone
automatically protects the batteries in extreme temperatures.
Do not leave your phone within the reach of small children
(certain removable parts may be accidentally ingested).
Electrical safety: Only use the chargers listed in the
manufacturer’s catalogue. Using any other charger may be
dangerous; it would also invalidate your warranty. Line voltage
must be exactly the one indicated on the charger’s serial plate.
Aircraft safety: When traveling by plane, you will need to switch
your phone off when so instructed by the cabin crew or the
warning signs.
Using a mobile phone may be dangerous to the operation of the
aircraft and may disrupt the phone network.
Its use is illegal and you could be prosecuted or banned from
using cellular networks in the future if you do not abide by these
regulations.
Explosive materials: Please comply with warning signs at petrol
station asking you to switch your phone off. You will need to
comply with radio equipment usage restrictions in places such
as chemical plants, fuel depots and at any location where
blasting operations are under way.
Electronic equipment: To avoid the risk of demagnetization, do
not let electronic devices close to your phone for a long time.

Electronic medical equipment: Your phone is a radio transmitter
which may interfere with electronic medical equipment or
implants, such as hearing aids, pacemakers, insulin pumps,
etc. It is recommended that a minimum separation of 15 cm be
maintained between the phone and an implant. Your doctor or
the manufacturers of such equipment will be able to give you
any advice you may need in this area.
Hospitals: Always make sure that your phone is switched off
in hospitals when so instructed by warning signs or by medical
staff.
Road safety: Do not use your phone when driving. In order to
give your full attention to driving, stop and park safely before
making a call. You must comply with any current legislation.
Distance of operation: This phone model has been tested
and meets radiofrequency exposure guidelines when used as
follows:
• Against the ear: Place or receive a phone call and hold the
phone as you would a wire line telephone.
Packaging: To facilitate the recycling of packaging materials,
please obey the sorting rules instituted locally for this type of
waste.
Batteries: Spent batteries must be deposited at the designated
collection points.
The product: The crossed-out waste bin mark afxed to the
product means that it belongs to the family of electrical and
electronic equipment.
To promote the recycling and recovery of waste electrical and
electronic equipment (WEEE) and at the same time safeguard
the environment, European regulations require you to obey the
sorting rules instituted locally for this type of waste.

4.1 Data synchronization
Some applications on your phone (Contacts and so on) give you
access to the same personal information that you can add, view,
and edit on your computer using Web applications. This means
that when you add, change, or delete your information in any
of these applications on the Web, the updated information also
appears on your phone, and vice versa. Also, if you lose your
phone or if your phone is destroyed, your personal information
is not lost and will appear, as before, on a replacement phone.
This mirroring of information happens through over-the-air data
synchronization, or data “syncing”. Data syncing occurs in the

Polaroid P4005A
19
background and shouldn’t ever get in your way. You’ll know your
data is being synchronized when you see this icon in the status
bar:
Because sending large amounts of data back and forth over the
air can take time and require considerable bandwidth, there are
some settings on the phone that allow you to control data sync.
Sync by application
To control synchronization Contacts, you can do the following:
1. On the Home screen, then touch and select Settings.
2. Select Accounts. When any of the applications are
synchronizing, you will see the “sync” icon . You will also see
the last time your data was synchronized.
3. By default, the personal information in Contacts will sync
whenever you make a change or receive a new message. You
can change this behavior:
Auto-sync: When selected, Auto-sync will sync Contacts
automatically, as you make changes or receive new messages.
When OFF, information will not be synced automatically,
although you can force sync by using the individual application
check boxes described below.
4. Sync problems:
If you see this icon to the left of the sync check box, then there
was a temporary problem with the data synchronization. Check
your data connection and try again later.
4.2 Bluetooth
You can use Bluetooth to send and receive calls using a headset
or hands-free car kit.
Turn on Bluetooth services
1. On the Home screen, then touch and select Settings.
2. Select Bluetooth, and then select ‘Bluetooth’ check box to
turn on Bluetooth services.
3. When on, the Bluetooth icon appears in the status bar.

2. Select Settings > Bluetooth > Bluetooth settings (touch
MENU)> Rename this device.

Before your phone can communicate with a Bluetooth headset
or hands-free car kit, the devices must “pair”, then “connect”:
1. Make sure you have turned Bluetooth on.
2. Your phone starts scanning for Bluetooth devices within
range. As they are found, the devices appear in the list of
Bluetooth devices.
3. To pair with a device in the list, select it.
4. Type the device’s PIN and then ‘Pair’.
5. Once paired, select the device name to connect.
6. Pairing and connection status appear under the device name.
7. Once the other Bluetooth device shows “connected” status,
you can start using it to make and receive phone calls.
8. To un-pair with a device, touch the icon on the side of device
to open the context menu. Select Un-pair, as appropriate. If you
select ‘Un-pair’ when connected, you will be disconnected as
well.
Notes: The phone supports only the headset and hands-free
Bluetooth proles, so if you try to connect to a device that is not
a headset or hands-free car kit, then you will receive an “unable
to connect” message.
If you pair with a second headset while connected to the rst,
the rst headset will remain connected. To switch connection
to the second headset you must manually select that headset
again after pairing.
Rescan for Bluetooth devices
