Export Information
The mobile phone may be subject to
export regulation of the United States
and other countries. Diversion con-
trary to law is prohibited. You must
comply with all applicable export laws,
restrictions and regulations of the
United States foreign agencies or au-
thorities, and may not export, or trans-
fer for the purpose of re-export, the
mobile phone or any partof the phone
in violation of any applicable restric-
tions, laws or regulations, or without
all necessary approvals.
Network Services
A number of features included in this
guide are called Network Services.
They are special services provided by
wireless service providers. In order
to use any of these Network Servic-
es, you must subscribe to these ser-
vice(s) from your service provider
and obtain instructions for their use.
Some of these Network Services may
not be available when roaming on a
network other than your home
network.
Standby and
Talk Time Information
The mobile phone incorporates fea-
tures that are new to the mobile
phone world. These may include col-
or displays and lighting, graphic
games, music reproduction and
browsing the Internet. The way you
use the display and the features will
affect the performance of the bat-
tery and how long it lasts between
charge cycles. The quoted standby
times and talk times show the mini-
mum and maximum performance
that can be expected from the bat-
tery under normal network condi-
tions and with the default settings as
set by the factory. However, playing
games (particularly with the back-
light continuously switched on) and
listening to music will shorten the
time available for standby and to
make and receive telephone calls.
Operation times also vary depending
on network conditions, SIM settings,
charging and battery condition, how
you use your phone and other
factors.

Safety precautions
Information for parents
Please read the operating instructions and safety precautions carefully be-
fore use.
Explain the content and the hazards associated with using the phone to your
children.
Remember to comply with
legal requirements and lo-
cal restrictions when us-
ing the phone. For exam-
ple in aeroplanes, petrol
stations, hospitals or
while driving.
Mobile phones can inter-
fere with the functioning
of medical devices such as
hearing aids or pacemak-
ers. Keep a distance of at
least 9 inches (20cm) be-
tween the phone and
pacemaker. Whilst using
the mobile phone, hold it
to the ear furthest away
from the pacemaker. For
more information consult
your doctor.
Small parts such as the
SIM Card, dust cap, lens
ring and lens cap can be
dismantled and swal-
lowed by small children.
The phone must therefore
be stored out of the reach
of small children.
Tones, music and hands-
free talking are repro-
duced through the loud-
speaker. Do not hold the
phone to your ear when it
rings or when you have
switched on the handsfree
function. Otherwise you
risk serious permanent
damage to your hearing.
Only use original batteries
(100 % mercury-free) and
– charging devices. Other-
wise you risk serious dam-
age to health and proper-
ty. The battery could
explode, for instance.
Permanent hearing loss
may occur if you use ear-
or headphones at high
volume.You can adapt
over time to a higher vol-
ume, which may sound
normal but can be damag-
ing to your hearing. Set
your volume to a safe lev-
el. If you experience ring-
ing in your ears, reduce
the volume or discontinue
use of your system.

Template: X75, 143x105 mm, Version 2.2;VAR Language: am; VAR issue date: 060119
The mains voltage speci-
fied on the power supply
unit (V) must not be ex-
ceeded. Otherwise the
charging device may be
destroyed.
The power supply must be
plugged into an easily ac-
cessible AC mains power
socket when charging the
battery. The only way to
turn off the charging de-
vice after charging the
battery is to unplug it.
Do not use a handheld
while driving.
Do not place the phone
near to electromagnetic
data carriers such as credit
cards and floppy disks. In-
formation stored on them
could be lost.
You may only open the
phone to replace the bat-
tery (100 % mercury-free)
and SIM Card. You must
not open the battery un-
der any circumstances. All
other changes to this de-
vice are strictly prohibited
and will invalidate the
guarantee.
Please dispose of unwant-
ed batteries and phones
as permitted by the laws
in your country.
The phone may cause in-
terference in the vicinity
of TV sets, radios and PCs.
Use only original accesso-
ries. This will avoid poten-
tial risks to health or prop-
erty and ensure
compliance with all rele-
vant regulations.
Improper use will invalidate the
guarantee! These safety instructions
also apply to original accessories.
Product attributes are subject to
changes in technology, design and
availability. BenQ Mobile reserves
the right to modify products with-
out prior notice.
This cellular phone offers a range of
functions, it can be used in positions
other than the head, such as on the
body. In this case, separation dis-
tance of 2.0 cm is required. When a
carry case, belt clip or holder is used
for body-worn operation, it should
not contain metal and should posi-
tion the device the above-stated dis-
tance from your body.

Bluetooth®
Your phone has a Bluetooth inter-
face. This makes it possible to estab-
lish a wireless connection with your
phone and a headset, a car kit or oth-
er Bluetooth-enabled devices.
In order to establish a secure link be-
tween the devices and to prevent a
third party from having access to
your phone, you should observe the
following points:
• The initial connection between
two devices, what is called "pair-
ing", should take place in familiar
surroundings.
• Both devices must be able to iden-
tify themselves once by using a
password/PIN. To ensure suffi-
cient security, you should choose
a 16-digit number combination
for a password that would be diffi-
cult to guess (if a PIN has not been
assigned).
• An automatic connection accep-
tance ("connection without confir-
mation") should only be used in
exceptional cases.
In general, only trustworthy devices
should be linked in order to minimise
security risks.
• You should restrict the "visibility"
of your phone if possible. This will
make it much more difficult for
unknown devices to establish a
connection with your phone. To
do this, in the Bluetooth menu, set
the option Visib.to others from
Always visible to Not visible
(page 76).
• The name of your phone is trans-
mitted in a Bluetooth connection.
The factory default is the "Blue-
tooth ID". The first time Bluetooth
is activated, or later in the
Bluetooth menu, you can change
this name (My BT name, page 76).
• If Bluetooth is not needed, this
function should be deactivated.
Before using Bluetooth accessories,
or a mobile phone inside a vehicle,
check the vehicle user guide for any
limitations on the use of these prod-
ucts.
The Bluetooth®word mark and log-
os are owned by Bluetooth SIG, Inc.
and any use of such marks by BenQ
Corp. is under licence. Other trade-
marks and trade names are those of
their respective owners.

Template: X75, 143x105 mm, Version 2.2;VAR Language: am; VAR issue date: 060119
Antenna care
Use only the supplied or an approved
replacement antenna. Unauthorized
antennas, modifications, or attach-
ments could damage the phone and
may violate FCC regulations.
Phone operation
Normal position
Hold the phone as you would any
other telephone with the antenna
pointed up and over your shoulder.
Tips on efficient operation
For your phone to operate most
efficiently:
• Extend your antenna fully
(if applicable).
• Do not touch the antenna unnec-
essarily when the phone is in use.
Contact with the antenna affects
call quality and may cause the
phone to operate at a higher pow-
er level than otherwise needed.
Driving
Laws pertaining to the use of mobile
phones while driving vary significant-
ly from state to state and sometimes
even from locality to locality within
states. For example, some areas may
allow persons to use their mobile
phones only if they employ a hands-
free device, and some areas may
prohibit the use of cell phones
entirely. Accordingly, BenQ recom-
mends that persons check the laws for
the areas in which they drive or will be
driving. For areas where the use of
mobile phones while driving is per-
mitted, BenQ encourages persons to
use their phones responsibly and to
employ hands-free devices. Also, if us-
ing your phone while driving, please:
• Give full attention to 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.
For vehicles equipped with
air bags
An air bag inflates with great force.
DO NOT place objects, including ei-
ther installed or portable wireless
equipment, in the area over the air
bag or in the air bag deployment ar-
ea. If in-vehicle wireless equipment is
improperly installed and the air bag
inflates, serious injury could result.
Important
Read this information before using
your wireless handheld phone.
As this mobile phone is equipped
with a fixed (non-retractable) an-
tenna, some paragraphs in the text
below may not be applicable.

Template: X75, 143x105 mm, Version 2.2;VAR Language: am; VAR issue date: 060119
Electronic devices
Most modern electronic equipment
is shielded from radio frequency (RF)
signals. However, certain electronic
equipment may not be shielded
against the RF signals from your
wireless phone.
Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers'
Association recommends that a min-
imum separation of six inches (6")
be maintained between a handheld
wireless phone and a pacemaker to
avoid potential interference with the
pacemaker. These recommenda-
tions are consistent with the inde-
pendent research by and recommen-
dations 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 a
breast pocket;
• should use the ear opposite the
pacemaker to minimize the poten-
tial for interference;
• should turn the phone OFF imme-
diately if there is any reason to
suspect that interference is taking
place.
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 or your hearing aid manu-
facturer to discuss alternatives.
Other medical devices
If you use any other personal medi-
cal devices, consult the manufactur-
ers of your devices to determine if
they are adequately shielded from
external RF energy. Your physician
may be able to assist you in obtain-
ing this information.
Turn your phone OFF in health care
facilities when any regulations post-
ed in these areas instruct you to do
so. Hospitals or health care facilities
may be using equipment that could
be sensitive to 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 vehi-
cle. 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.

Template: X75, 143x105 mm, Version 2.2;VAR Language: am; VAR issue date: 060119
Airplanes
FCC and Airline Regulations prohibit
using your phone while in the air.
Turn your phone OFF when request-
ed by the airline.
Check and comply with the policy of
your airline regarding the use of your
phone while the airplane is on the
ground.
Blasting areas
To avoid interfering with blasting op-
erations, 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 in-
structions. Sparks in such areas could
cause an explosion or fire resulting in
bodily injury or even death.
Areas with a potentially explosive at-
mosphere are often but not always
clearly marked. They include: fueling
areas such as gasoline stations; be-
low 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 parti-
cles, such as grain, dust or metal
powders; and any other area where
you would normally be advised to
turn off your vehicle engine.
Emergency calls (SOS)
Your wireless phone can be used
to make emergency calls. You can
make an emergency call from the
main display screen. Enter the local
emergency number such as 911 and
then press the Akey.
This phone, like any wireless phone,
operates using radio signals, wire-
less and landline networks, and user-
programmed functions. Because of
this, connections in all conditions
cannot be guaranteed. Therefore,
you should never rely solely on any
wireless phone for essential commu-
nications (for example, medical
emergencies). Remember – to make
or receive any calls, the phone must
be switched on and be used in a ser-
vice area that has adequate signal
strength. Emergency calls might not
be possible on all wireless phone
networks or when certain network
services or phone features are in use.
Check with local service providers re-
garding their network features.
Always make certain that your
phone is properly charged before
attempting any emergency calls. If
you allow your battery to discharge,
you will be unable to receive or make
calls, including emergency calls. You
must then wait a few minutes after
the charging begins to place any
emergency calls.

When making an emergency call,
remember to give all of the neces-
sary information as accurately as
possible. Remember that your wire-
less phone might be the only means
of communication at the scene of an
accident, therefore you should not
terminate the call until given permis-
sion to do so.
Batteries and Chargers
Only use original batteries
(100% mercury-free) and charging
devices. Use of non-original batter-
ies and/or charging devices may
cause explosion resulting in serious
injury and/or property damage. Use
original accessories in order to avoid
possible injury and property damage
and to ensure compliance with appli-
cable laws and regulations. Improper
use invalidates the warranty.
Battery safety precautions
To reduce the risk of fire, injury or
electric shock, and to properly dis-
pose of batteries, please read and
understand the following instruc-
tions. CONTAINS LITHIUM-ION OR
NICKEL-METAL HYDRIDE BATTERY.

Getting started
Your phone's display is covered with
a protective film. Remove this before
using the phone.
Inserting SIM
card/battery
The service provider supplies you
with a SIM card on which all the im-
portant data for your line is stored. If
the SIM card has been delivered in
credit-card size, snap the smaller
segment out and remove any rough
edges.
• Place the SIM card in front of the
slot with the contacts facing
downwards. Then push the SIM
card fully into the holder using
gentle pressure 1. Ensure that
the cut-off corner is in the correct
position.
• Insert the battery sideways into
the phone 2, then press it down-
wards 3until it engages.
• To remove, press the retaining tab
on the side of the battery, then lift
the battery out.
In rare cases static
discharge can
cause temporary
discolouration in
the display.
However, this
will disappear
within approx.
10 minutes.

RS MultiMediaCard™
• To insert, place the card in the

off corner is in the correct posi-
tion. Push the card holder with the
card into the phone until it clicks
into place 2.

My stuff. This saves data you have
not yet saved and avoids losing
data.

Charging the battery
Charging
The battery is not fully charged
when delivered. Plug the charger ca-
ble into the bottom of the phone,
plug the power supply unit into a
mains power socket and charge for
at least two hours (for charging via
USB, see page 88). Do not interrupt
the charging procedure
prematurely.
àDisplay when charging is
in progress.
Charging time
An empty battery is fully charged af-
ter about 2 hours. Charging is only
possible within a temperature range
of +5 °C to +40 °C (+41°F to +104°F).
If the temperature rises/falls 5°C
above/below this, i.e drops to 32°F
or rises to 113°F, the charge symbol
flashes a warning. The mains voltage
specified on the power supply unit
must not be exceeded.
Operating time
The operating time depends upon
the respective network conditions
and conditions of use. Extreme tem-
peratures considerably reduce the
phone’s standby time. You should
therefore avoid the leaving the
phone in the sun or on a radiator.
Talktime: up to 300 minutes
Standby time: up to 300 hours
Charge icon not visible
If the battery has been discharged
fully, the charge icon is not immedi-
ately visible when the power supply
is plugged in. It will appear after up
to two hours. In this case the battery
is fully charged after 3 to 4 hours.
Only use the plug-in power supply unit
included in delivery!
Display during operation
Charge level display during
operation (empty–full):
ÝÞß
A beep sounds when the battery is
nearly empty. The charge level of the
battery is only displayed correctly af-
ter an uninterrupted charging/dis-
charging cycle. You should therefore
not remove the battery unnecessarily
and where possible not terminate the
charging process before completion.
