Safety Information i
Safety Information
For your safety, please read the guidelines below carefully
before you use your phone:
Exposure to Radio Frequency Signals
Your wireless handheld portable telephone is a low power transmitter and
receiver. When it is ON, it receives and also sends out radio frequency
(RF) signals.
European and international agencies have set standards and
recommendations for the protection of public exposure to RF
electromagnetic energy.
•International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection
(ICNIRP) 1996
•Verband Deutscher Elektroingenieure (VDE) DIN- 0848
•Directives of the European Community, Directorate General V in
Matters of Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Energy
•National Radiological Protection Board of the United Kingdom, GS 11,
1988
•American National Standards Institute (ANSI) IEEE. C95.1- 1992
•National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP).
Report 86
•Department of Health and Welfare Canada. Safety Code 6
These standards are based on extensive scientific review. For example,
over 120 scientists, engineers and physicians from universities,
government health agencies and industry reviewed the available body of
research to develop the updated ANSI Standard.
The design of your phone complies with these standards when used
normally.

ii Safety Information
Specific Operating Restrictions
No metallic component allowed in body-worn accessories.
Antenna Care
Use only the supplied or approved replacement antenna. Unauthorized
antennas, modifications or attachments may damage the phone and
violate GCF regulations.
Phone Operation
•Normal Position: Hold the phone as you would with any other
telephone.
•To avoid potential RF interference, please do not wear the phone
around your neck or in front your chest for long hours.
Batteries
•For safety concerns, when the temperature of the phone goes over
45°C (113°F) or below 0°C (32°F), charging will halt.
•Do not expose batteries to temperatures below 0°C (32°F) or above
45°C (113°F). Always take your phone with you when you leave your
vehicle.
•Use only genuine Benq battery to ensure the phone’s normal operation.
SFG75.book Seite ii Freitag, 18. November 2005 11:50 11

Safety Information iii
All batteries can cause property damage, injury or burns if a conductive
material such as jewelry, keys or beaded chains touches exposed terminals.
The material may complete electrical circuit and become quite hot. To
protect against such unwanted current drain, exercise care in handling any
charged battery, particularly when placing it inside your pocket, purse or
other container with metal objects. When battery is detached from the
phone, your batteries are packed with a protective battery cover; please
use this cover for storing your batteries when not in use.
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, please:
•Give full attention to driving--driving safety 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.
Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a
minimum separation of 20 cm/9 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.
SFG75.book Seite iii Freitag, 18. November 2005 11:50 11

iv Safety Information
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 potential
for interference.
If you have any reason to suspect that the 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 hearing aid
manufacturer to discuss alternatives.
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 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.
SFG75.book Seite iv Freitag, 18. November 2005 11:50 11

Safety Information v
Posted Facilities
Turn your phone OFF in any facility where posted notice so requires.
Aircraft
FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while in the air. Switch OFF
your phone before boarding an aircraft.
Blasting Areas
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your phone OFF when
in a "blasting area" or in area posted "TURN OFF TWO-WAY RADIO."
Obey all signs and instructions.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Turn your phone OFF and do not remove the battery when in any area
with a potentially explosive atmosphere and obey all signs and
instructions. Sparks, from your battery, 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 an 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.

Safety precautions vii
Safety precautions
Information for parents
Please read the operating instructions and safety precautions
carefully before use.
Explain the content and the hazards associated with using the
phone to your children.
Remember to comply with legal requirements and local
restrictions when using the phone. For example in aeroplanes,
petrol stations, hospitals or while driving.
Mobile phones can interfere with the functioning of medical
devices such as hearing aids or pacemakers. Keep at least
20 cm/9 inches between phone and pacemaker. When using
the mobile phone hold it to the ear which is further away from
the pacemaker. For more information consult your doctor.
Small parts such as the SIM card, sealing stop, lens ring and
lens cap can be dismantled and swallowed by small children.
The phone must therefore be stored out of the reach of small
children.
Do not place the phone near to electromagnetic data carriers
such as credit cards and floppy disks. Information stored on
them could be lost.
Do not look at the LED (e.g. activated infrared port, flash LED)
with optical magnifiers because of radiation.
This product complies with IEC/EN 60825-1 "Safety of Laser
Products" for LED Class 1M products; such products are safe
under reasonably foreseeable operating conditions.

viii Safety precautions
The mains voltage specified on the power supply unit (V) must
not be exceeded. Otherwise the charging device may be
destroyed.
The power supply must be plugged into an easily accessible
AC mains power socket when charging the battery. The only
way to turn off the charging device after charging the battery is
to unplug it.
The ringtones, info tones and handsfree talking are reproduced
through the loudspeaker. 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. Otherwise you risk serious damage to health and
property. The battery could explode, for instance.
You may only open the phone to replace the battery (100 %
mercury-free) or SIM card. You must not open the battery under
any circumstances. All other changes to this device are strictly
prohibited and will invalidate the guarantee.
All electrical and electronic products should be disposed of
separately from the municipal waste stream via designated
collection facilities appointed by the government or the local
authorities.
This crossed-out wheeled bin symbol on the product means the
product is covered by the European Directive 2002/96/EC.
The correct disposal and separate collection of your old
appliance will help prevent potential negative consequences for
the environment and human health. It is a precondition for
reuse and recycling of used electrical and electronic equipment.
For more detailed information about disposal of your old
appliance, please contact your city office, waste disposal
service or the shop where you purchased the product.

Safety precautions ix
Bluetooth®
Your phone has a Bluetooth interface. This makes it possible to establish a
wireless connection of your phone with a headset of acar kit, or with
other Bluetooth-enabled devices.
In order to establish a secure link between 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 "pairing",
should take place in familiar surroundings.
•Both devices must be able to identify themselves one time by using a
password/PIN. To ensure sufficient security, you should choose a 16-
digit number combination for a password that would be difficult to
guess (if a PIN has not been assigned).
•An automatic connection acceptance ("connection without
confirmation") should only be used in exceptional cases.
•In general, only trustworthy devices should be linked in order to
minimize 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.
The phone may cause interference in the vicinity of TV sets,
radios and PCs.
!
As mobile devices offer a range of functions, they can be used in
positions other than the head, such as on the body. In this case, at
data transfer (GPRS) a separation distance of 1.5 cm is required.
SFG75.book Seite ix Freitag, 18. November 2005 11:50 11

xSafety precautions
•The name of your phone is transmitted in a Bluetooth connection. The
factory default is the "Bluetooth ID". The first time Bluetooth is
activated, or later in the Bluetooth menu, you can change this name.
•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
products.
!To ensure perfect operation of the phone, please only use the
phone with the keypad completely open or completely closed.
