Publication number: LZT 126 1343/1 R1A Printed in Sweden INNOVATRON PATENTS Important: Read this information before using your portable phone General Since its introduction in the mid 1980s the portable phone is one of the most exciting and innovative products ever developed. With it, you can stay in contact with your office, your home, emergency services, and others. Your telephone is a radio transmitter and receiver. When it is ON it receives and also sends out radio frequency (RF) energy. Depending upon the type of mobile phone you have purchased, it operates in different frequency ranges and employs commonly used modulation techniques. When you use your phone, the system handling your call controls the power level at which your phone transmits. For the safe and efficient operation of your phone, observe these guidelines. · ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1992 (USA, Asia- Pacific) If you want to limit RF exposure even further, you may choose to control the duration of your calls and operate your phone in the most power efficient manner. Do not use an antenna designed for any other type of portable telephone than the telephone you have purchased. Driving Check the laws and regulations on the use of telephones in the areas where you drive. Always obey them. Also, when using your phone while driving, please: Efficient phone operation How to use your phone for optimum performance with minimum power consumption: · Hold the phone as you would any other telephone. While speaking directly into the mouthpiece, angle the antenna in a direction up and over your shoulder. If the antenna is extendable, it should be extended during a call. · Give full attention to driving. · Use hands-free operation, if available. · Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving conditions so require. RF energy may affect some electronic systems in motor vehicles. In addition, some vehicle manufacturers forbid the use of mobile phones in their vehicles. Check with your vehicle manufacturer's representative to be sure your phone will not affect the electronic systems of your vehicle. · Do not hold the antenna when the phone is IN USE. Holding the antenna affects call quality, may cause the phone to operate at a higher power level than needed and shorten talk and standby times. Exposure to radio frequency energy The International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP), sponsored by the World Health Organization (WHO), published a statement in 1996 which sets limits for exposure to RF fields from handheld mobile phone. According to this statement, which is based on the available body of research, there is no evidence that mobile terminals meeting the recommended limits can cause any adverse health effects. All Ericsson telephones conform to the ICNIRP recommendations, and international exposure standards, such as: Antenna care and replacement Do not use the phone with a damaged antenna. Replace a damaged antenna immediately. Consult your manual to see if you may change the antenna yourself. If so, use only an Ericsson approved antenna. Otherwise, take your phone to a qualified service centre for repair. Use only the designated Ericsson antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage the phone and may violate the appropriate regulations. Electronic devices Most modern electronic equipment, for example, equipment in hospitals and cars, is shielded from RF energy. However, RF energy from telephones may affect some electronic equipment. Turn your phone OFF in health care facilities when regulations posted in the areas instruct you to do so. Always request permission before using your phone near medical equipment. · CENELEC European Pre-standard ENV50166-2 LZT 126 1343/1 R1A i EN Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use Mobile telephones may affect the operation of some implanted cardiac pacemakers, equipment for people with hearing impairments and other medically implanted equipment. Pacemaker patients should be aware that the use of a mobile phone very close to a pacemaker may cause the device to malfunction. Avoid placing the phone over the pacemaker, i.e. in your breast pocket. When using the phone, place it at your ear opposite the pacemaker. If a distance of 15cm. is kept between the phone and the pacemaker, the risk of interference is limited. Contact your cardiologist for more information. · To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug unit from power source before attempting any cleaning, then use soft cloth dampened on with water. Product care · Do Not expose product to water or moisture. Example: bathtub, laundry sink, wet/damp basement, swimming pools, etc. Children Do not allow children to play with your phone. It is not a toy. Children could hurt themselves or others (by poking themselves or others in the eye with the antenna for example). Children could also damage the phone or make calls that increase your telephone bills. · Do Not expose product to extreme temperatures such as found near a hot radiator or stove, or in a car parked in the sun. · Do not expose product to extreme cold temperatures such as a car parked outdoors in winter. Blasting areas To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your unit OFF when in a "blasting area" or in areas posted "turn off two-way radio". Construction crews often use remote control RF devices to set off explosives. · Do Not expose product to lit candles, cigarettes, cigars, open flames, etc. Aircraft Turn your phone OFF before boarding any aircraft. · Use only Ericsson Original accessories. Failure to do so may result in loss of performance, fire, electric shock, or injury, and will void the warranty. · Use it on the ground only with crew permission · Turn off your phone before the aircraft leaves the ground. Do not use it in the air. To prevent possible interference with aircraft systems, safety regulations require you to have permission from a crew member to use your phone while the plane is on the ground. To prevent interference with communication systems, you must not use your phone while the plane is in the air. Potentially explosive atmospheres Turn your phone OFF when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere. It is rare, but your phone or its accessories could generate sparks. 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 fuelling areas, such as gas stations, below deck on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities, and areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders. Do not transport or store flammable gas, liquid, or explosives in the compartment of your vehicle which contains your phone and accessories. · Do Not attempt to disassemble the product. Doing so will void warranty. This product does not contain consumer serviceable components. Service should only be performed by Authorized Service Centres. Power Supply · Connect AC (Power supply) only to designated power sources as marked on the product. · To reduce risk of damage to electric cord, remove from outlet by holding onto AC adapter rather than cord. · Make sure the cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over or otherwise subjected to damage or stress. ii LZT 126 1343/1 R1A Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use Assembly Instructions Assemble and Charge ­ Four Steps 1.
