Use of your phone is subject to safety rules designed
to protect the user and his or her environment.
Exposure to Radio Frequency Signals
•Your wireless handheld portable phone is a low
power radio transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it
receives and also sends out frequency (RF) signals.
•In August, 1996, the Federal Communications
Commissions (FCC) adopted RF exposure guidelines
with safety levels for handheld wireless phones.
Those guidelines are consistent with the safety
standards previously set by both U.S. and
international standards bodies:
ANSI C95.1 (1992)*
NCPR Report 86 (1986)*
ICNIRP (1996)*
(*) American National Standards Institute; National
Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements;
International Commission and Non-Ionizing Radiation
Protection.
•Those standards were based on comprehensive and
periodic evaluations of the relevant scientific
literature. For example, over 120 scientists,
engineers, and physicians from universities,
government health agencies, and industry reviewed
the available body of research to develop the ANSI
Standard (C95.1).
•The design of your phone complies with the FCC
guidelines (and those standards).

•For body worn operation, this phone has been tested
and meets FCC RF exposure guidelines when used
with an accessory that contains no metal and that
positions the handset a minimum of 1.5 cm from the
body.
Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance
with FCC RF exposure guidelines.
Phone Operation
•Normal position: hold the phone as you would any
other phone with the upper zone (back of the LCD
display) pointed up and over your shoulder.
•Tips on efficient operation: for your phone to operate
most efficiently: do not touch cover unnecessarily the
top part of the phone with your hand. This would
cover the integrated antenna and affect call quality
and may cause the phone to operate at a higher
power level than otherwise needed.
Driving
•Check the laws and regulations on the use of
wireless telephones in the areas where you drive.
Always obey them. Also, if using your phone while
driving while driving please:
- Give full attention of driving, driving safely is your
first responsibility
- Use hands-free operation, if available
- Pull off the road and park before making or
answering a call if driving conditions so require.

Electronic Devices
•Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from
RF signals. However, certain electronic equipment
may not be shielded against the RF signals from your
wireless phone.
•Some phone accessories allow to reduce the
radiation interferences of the phone. Please contact
your distributor.
Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association
recommends that a minimum separation of six (6”)
inches be maintained between a handheld wireless
phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference
with the pacemaker. These recommendations are
consistent with the independent research by and
recommendations of Wireless Technology Research.
Persons with pacemakers:
•Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than six
inches from their pacemaker when the phone is
turned ON
•Should not carry the phone in the breast pocket
•Should use the ear opposite to the pacemaker to
minimize the potential for interference
•If you have any reason to suspect that interference is
taking place, turn your phone OFF immediately.

Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some
hearing aids. In the event of such interference, you
may want to consult your service provider.
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical device, consult
the manufacturer of your device to determine if they are
adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your
physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this
information.
Turn your phone OFF in health care facilities when any
regulations posted in these areas instruct you to do so.
Hospitals or health care facilities may be using
equipment that could be sensitive to sensitive external
RF energy.
Vehicles
RF signals may affect improperly installed or
inadequately shielded electronic systems in motor
vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or its
representative regarding your vehicle. You should also
consult the manufacturer of any equipment that has
been added to your vehicle.
Posted Facilities
Turn your phone OFF in any facility where posted
notices so require.

Aircraft
FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while in the
air. Switch OFF your phone before boarding an aircraft.
Blasting Areas
To avoid any interfering with blasting operations, turn
your phone OFF when in a “blasting area” or in areas
posted: “Turn off two-way radio”. Obey all signs and
instructions.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
•Turn your phone OFF when in any area with a
potentially explosive atmosphere and obey all signs
and instructions. 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. They include
fueling areas such as gasoline stations; below deck
on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage
facilities; vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such
as propane or butane); 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 turn off your vehicle engine.

For Vehicles equipped with Air Bag
An air bag inflates with great force. DO NOT place
objects, including both 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.
Electrical Safety
•Only us the appropriate chargers recommended in
the manufacturer’s catalog. Using another charger
may prove dangerous and could invalidate the
warranty of your phone.
•The main power socket should be easily accessible.
•Make sure that the main voltage corresponds to the
level marked on the charger identification plate.
General Precautions
•Do not try to open your phone and repair it yourself.
The manufacturer cannot be held liable for any
resulting damage.
•Any work done by an unqualified and unauthorized
person will invalidate your warranty.
•Do not use your phone in humid places (bathroom,
swimming pool, etc.). Protect it from splashing water
and other liquids.
•Do not expose your phone to extreme temperatures.

•Keep your phone out of reach of small children. Do
not allow them to play with it, it is not a toy.
•Only use your phone with original accessories.
Failure to comply with these rules will invalidate your
warranty.
•Remember to disconnect the charger before
removing the battery.
•The physical and chemical processes used in
rechargeable batteries mean that temperature limits
must be followed during rapid charging. Your terminal
automatically protects the batteries from extreme
temperatures.
•If the phone is disconnected from the battery for an
extended period of time, it will lose the time and the
recorded voice messages.
Emergency Calls
IMPORTANT
•This phone, like any PCS phone, operates using
radio signals, PCS and landline networks, and user-
programmed functions. As a consequence a
connection in all conditions cannot be guaranteed.
Therefore you should never rely solely upon any PCS
phone for essential communications (e.g. medical
emergencies).
•To make or receive any calls, this phone must be
switched on and in service area with adequate PCS
signal strength. Emergency calls may not be possible
on all PCS networks or when certain network
services and/or phone features are in use. Check
with local Service Providers.
Safety Information for Wireless handled phones

misuse.
•The software program developed by
SAGEM SA remains the exclusive
property of SAGEM SA. It is therefore
highly prohibited to modify, translate,
decompile or disassemble this
software program or any part thereof.
•SAGEM SA may not be held
responsible for the contents of

•When making an emergency call, remember to give
all the necessary information as accurately as
possible. Remember that your PCS phone may be
the only means of communication at the scene of an
accident - do not terminate the call until given
permission to do so.
•If certain features are in use (such as Keyguard), you
may first need to turn those features off before you
can make an emergency call. Consult this manual
and your local PCS Service Provider.

•If the phone is not on, press .
•Key in emergency number for your present location
(e.g. 911 or other official emergency number).
•Press .
•If you dial 911 during a call, the phone terminates
the current call and attempts to make a call to the
emergency number 911.
FCC/INDUSTRY CANADA NOTICE

when using telephone in close proximity of receiving
equipment). The FCC/INDUSTRY Canada can require
you to stop using your telephone if such interference
cannot be eliminated. If you need assistance, contact
your local dealer.
This device complies with parts 15 and 68 of the FCC
rules. Operation is subject to the condition that this
