1 Overview
You can access WAP sites and use WAP-based services on your phone. To access
WAP sites through your phone, you will rst need to subscribe to this service
from your network provider and set the relevant parameters on your phone.
The Neptune B503 comes auto-proled or pre-congured with network WAP
settings. For details about accessing WAP sites and their corresponding charges,
get in touch with your network provider.
This section contains important information pertaining to correct and safe usage
of your mobile phone. Read carefully before using your device.
Electronic Device
Switch off your Neptune B503 in places that prohibit mobile phone use. Do not
use your mobile phone when it can cause danger or interference with electronic
devices.
Medical Device
• Power off your device and follow the rules and regulations set by hospitals and
health care facilities.
• Manufacturers recommend a minimum distance of 15 cm from the pacemaker
to prevent mobile phones from potentially causing interferences with the
pacemaker. If you are using a pacemaker, use the device on the opposite side of
the pacemaker and do not carry the device in your front pocket.
• Some mobile phones have been found to affect the performance of hearing
aids. For such issues, please consult your network provider.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Comply with all signs and instructions. Power off your mobile phones in areas
that are potentially explosive, or where you would normally be advised to switch
off your vehicle’s engine. Using your mobile phone in such areas can trigger
sparks, which could cause an explosion or re, resulting in bodily injuries or even
death.
Do not switch on your mobile phone at refueling points such as service stations.
Comply with restrictions on the use of radio equipment in fuel depots, storage,
and distribution areas, and chemical plants. You must adhere to restrictions in
areas where blasting operations are in progress.
Before using your mobile phone, watch out for potentially explosive areas that
are often, though not always, clearly marked. Such areas include below-deck on
boats, chemical transfer or storage facilities, and areas where the air contains
chemicals, grain, dust, or metal powders. Ask the manufacturers of vehicles using
liqueed petroleum gas (such as propane or butane) if mobile phones can be
safely used in their vicinity.
Trafc Security
Observe local laws and regulations while using your mobile phone. If you are
using your mobile phone while driving a vehicle, please comply with the
following guidelines:
• Concentrate on driving. Your rst responsibility is to drive safely.

• Park your vehicle at the side of the road before making or answering a call.
• RF signals may affect electronic systems of some motor vehicles. For more
information on this, consult your vehicle manufacturer.
• Do not place your mobile phone over the air bag or in the air bag deployment
area. You may be injured by the device, owing to the strong force of its
trajectory when the air bag inates.
• Do not use your mobile phone while inside an aircraft. Switch off the device
before boarding. Using wireless devices in an aircraft may be dangerous to the
operation of the aircraft, disrupt pilot-ground communications, and may be
considered illegal.
Operating Environment
• Do not use or charge your mobile phone in dusty, damp or dirty places, or areas
with magnetic elds. Otherwise, the circuit may not function properly.
• Your mobile phone complies with RF specications when used near your ear or
at a distance of 1.5 cm from your body. Keep your mobile phone 1.5 cm away
from your body to meet the aforementioned requirement. Ensure that
accessories such as your mobile phone case or holster are not composed of
metal components.
• Avoid using your mobile phone when charging in the middle of a storm to
prevent possible dangers caused by lightning.
• Avoid touching the antenna while on a call. Touching the antenna affects call
quality and increases power consumption. In effect, talk time and standby time
are reduced considerably.
• Observe the local laws and regulations while using your mobile phone. Respect
others' privacy and legal rights.
• Use accessories authorized by Starmobile. Using unauthorized accessories with
your mobile phone will render the warranty null and void.

Electronic Device
Switch off your Neptune B503 in places that prohibit mobile phone use. Do not
use your mobile phone when it can cause danger or interference with electronic
devices.
Medical Device
• Power off your device and follow the rules and regulations set by hospitals and
health care facilities.

to prevent mobile phones from potentially causing interferences with the
pacemaker. If you are using a pacemaker, use the device on the opposite side of
the pacemaker and do not carry the device in your front pocket.
• Some mobile phones have been found to affect the performance of hearing
aids. For such issues, please consult your network provider.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Comply with all signs and instructions. Power off your mobile phones in areas
that are potentially explosive, or where you would normally be advised to switch
off your vehicle’s engine. Using your mobile phone in such areas can trigger
sparks, which could cause an explosion or re, resulting in bodily injuries or even
death.
Do not switch on your mobile phone at refueling points such as service stations.
Comply with restrictions on the use of radio equipment in fuel depots, storage,
and distribution areas, and chemical plants. You must adhere to restrictions in
areas where blasting operations are in progress.
Before using your mobile phone, watch out for potentially explosive areas that
are often, though not always, clearly marked. Such areas include below-deck on
boats, chemical transfer or storage facilities, and areas where the air contains
chemicals, grain, dust, or metal powders. Ask the manufacturers of vehicles using
liqueed petroleum gas (such as propane or butane) if mobile phones can be

This section contains important information pertaining to correct and safe usage
of your mobile phone. Read carefully before using your device.
Electronic Device
Switch off your Neptune B503 in places that prohibit mobile phone use. Do not
use your mobile phone when it can cause danger or interference with electronic
devices.
Medical Device
• Power off your device and follow the rules and regulations set by hospitals and
health care facilities.
• Manufacturers recommend a minimum distance of 15 cm from the pacemaker
to prevent mobile phones from potentially causing interferences with the
pacemaker. If you are using a pacemaker, use the device on the opposite side of
the pacemaker and do not carry the device in your front pocket.
• Some mobile phones have been found to affect the performance of hearing
aids. For such issues, please consult your network provider.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Comply with all signs and instructions. Power off your mobile phones in areas
that are potentially explosive, or where you would normally be advised to switch

sparks, which could cause an explosion or re, resulting in bodily injuries or even
death.
Do not switch on your mobile phone at refueling points such as service stations.
Comply with restrictions on the use of radio equipment in fuel depots, storage,
and distribution areas, and chemical plants. You must adhere to restrictions in
areas where blasting operations are in progress.
Before using your mobile phone, watch out for potentially explosive areas that
are often, though not always, clearly marked. Such areas include below-deck on
boats, chemical transfer or storage facilities, and areas where the air contains
chemicals, grain, dust, or metal powders. Ask the manufacturers of vehicles using
liqueed petroleum gas (such as propane or butane) if mobile phones can be
safely used in their vicinity.
