• Important safety information
Traffic safety
Don’t use a hand-held telephone while driving a vehicle. If you’re using a
hand-held phone, park the vehicle before conversing. Always secure the
phone in its holder and don’t place the phone on the passenger seat or
where it can break loose in a collision or sudden stop.
The use of an alert device to operate a vehicle's lights or horn on public
roads is not permitted. Remember, road safety always comes first!
Operating environment
Remember to follow any special regulations and always switch off your
phone wherever forbidden, or when it may cause interference or danger.
When connecting the phone or accessory to another device, read its user’s
guide for safety instructions. Don’t connect incompatible products.
[ 106 ]
As with other mobile radio transmitting equipment, users are advised to
operate this equipment only in the normal operating position (held to
your ear with the antenna pointing over your shoulder).
Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend a distance of 20 cm (6 inches) be
maintained between a hand-held wireless phone and a pacemaker to
avoid interference with the pacemaker. These recommendations are
consistent with independent research and recommendations of Wireless
Technology Research.
Persons with a pacemaker:
•
Should always keep the phone more than 20 cm (6 inches) from their
pacemaker when the phone is switched on.
•
Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket.
•
Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential
for interference.
•
Should switch off the phone immediately if there is any reason to
suspect that interference is taking place.
Hearing aids
Some digital wireless phones may interfere with hearing aids. In the event
of such interference, consult your service provider.
Other medical devices
Operation of any radio transmitting equipment, including cellular phones,
may interfere with the functionality of inadequately protected medical
devices. Consult a physician or the manufacturer of the medical device to
determine if it is adequately shielded from external RF energy, or if you
have any questions.
Switch off your phone in health care facilities when regulations posted in
these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may
be using equipment that could be sensitive to RF energy.

Reference information
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 emanating from your wireless phone.
Posted facilities
Switch your phone off in any facility where posted notices so require.
Potentially explosive atmospheres
Switch off your phone 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.
Users are advised to switch off the phone when at a refuelling point
(service station). Users are reminded of the need to observe restrictions
regarding the use of radio equipment in fuel depots (fuel storage and
distribution areas), chemical plants, or where blasting operations are in
progress.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often but not always
clearly marked. They include below deck on boats, chemical transfer/
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 be
advised to turn off your vehicle engine.
Vehicles
Only qualified personnel should install or service the phone in a vehicle.
Faulty installation or service may be dangerous and invalidate the
warranty.
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded
electronic systems in motor vehicles (for example, electronic fuel
injection systems, electronic anti-skid (anti-lock) braking systems,
electronic speed control systems, air bag systems).
[ 108 ]
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.
Ensure all wireless phone equipment in your vehicle is mounted and
operating properly.
Don’t carry or store flammable liquids, gases or explosive materials in the
same compartment as the phone or its accessories.
For vehicles equipped with an air bag, remember that an air bag inflates
with great force. Don’t place any objects 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.
Aircraft
Switch off your phone before boarding an aircraft. The use of wireless
telephones in an aircraft may be dangerous to the operation of the
aircraft, disrupt the wireless telephone network, and may be illegal.
Failure to observe these instructions may lead to suspension or denial of
telephone services to the offender, legal action, or both.
Emergency calls
• Important! This phone, like any wireless phone, operates
using radio signals and cannot be guaranteed to connect
in all conditions. Therefore, you should never rely solely
upon any wireless phone for essential communications
(such as medical emergencies).
Remember, to make or receive any calls the phone must be
switched on and in a service area with adequate signal
strength. Emergency calls may not be possible on all wireless
phone networks or when certain network services and/or
phone features are in use. Check with local wireless service
providers for more information.

Reference information
Making an emergency call:
1
If the phone is not on, switch it on.
Note: Some networks may require that a valid SIM card be properly
inserted in the phone.
2
If the word Clear appears above right selection key, press and hold the
selection key to clear the screen.
3
Enter the emergency number for your present location (for example,
911 or other official emergency number). Emergency numbers vary by
location.
4
Press .
If certain features are in use (Keyguard, fixed dialing, and so on), you may
first need to turn those features off before you can make an emergency
call. Consult this guide and your local wireless service provider for more
information.
When making an emergency call, remember to provide all information as
accurately and clearly as possible. Remember that your wireless phone
may be the only means of communication at the scene of an accident -
don’t cut off the call until given permission to do so.
Radio Frequency (RF) Signals
THIS MODEL PHONE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT’S REQUIREMENTS FOR
EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.
Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed
and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to
radiofrequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission
of the U.S. Government. These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines
and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The
guidelines are based on standards that were developed by independent
scientific organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation of
scientific studies. The standards include a substantial safety margin designed
to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
[ 110 ]
The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a unit of
measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR
limit set by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg.* Tests for SAR are conducted using standard
operating positions accepted by the FCC with the phone transmitting at
its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. Although
the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR
level of the phone while operating can be well below the maximum value.
This is because the phone is designed to operate at multiple power levels
so as to use only the power required to reach the network. In general, the
closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output.
Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested
and certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the limit established by
the government-adopted requirement for safe exposure. The tests are
performed in positions and locations (e.g., at the ear) as required by the
FCC for each model. The highest SAR value for this model phone when
tested for use at the ear is 1.29 W/kg. While there may be differences
between the SAR levels of various phones and at various positions, they
all meet the government requirement.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model phone
with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF
exposure guidelines. SAR information on this model phone is on file
with the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section of
http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching on FCC ID LJPNSW-5NX.
________________________________________________________
*In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile phones used by the public
is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue. The standard incorporates
a substantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and to
account for any variations in measurements.
