With it you can stay in contact with your office, your home, emergency services, and others. For the safe and efficient operation of your phone, observe these guidelines. Your cellular telephone is a radio transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it receives and also sends out radio frequency (RF) energy. The phone operates in the frequency range of 824 MHz to 894 MHz and employs commonly used frequency modulation (FM) techniques. When you use your phone, the cellular system handling your call controls the power level at which your phone transmits. The power level can range from 0.006 of a watt to 0.6 of a watt. Exposure to Radio Frequency Energy In 1991 the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), and in 1992 the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) updated the 1982 ANSI Standard for safety levels with respect to human exposure to RF energy. Approximately 120 scientists, engineers, and physicians from universities, government health agencies, and industry, after reviewing the available body of research, developed this updated Standard. In March, 1993, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) proposed the adoption of this updated Standard. The design of your phone complies with this updated Standard. Of course, if you want to limit RF exposure even further than the updated ANSI Standard, you may choose to control the duration of your calls and operate your phone in the most power efficient manner. Efficient Phone Operation For your phone to operate at the lowest power level, consistent with satisfactory call quality, please observe the following guidelines: ii If your phone has an extendable antenna, extend it fully. Some models allow you to place a call with the antenna retracted. However, your phone operates more efficiently with the antenna fully extended. Hold the phone as you would any other telephone. While speaking directly into the mouthpiece, position the antenna up and over your shoulder. Do not hold the antenna when the phone is "IN USE". Holding the antenna affects call quality and may cause the phone to operate at a higher power level than needed. Antenna Care and Replacement Do not use the phone with a damaged antenna. If a damaged antenna comes into contact with the skin, a minor burn may result. Replace a damaged antenna immediately. Consult your manual to see if you may change the antenna yourself. If so, use only a manufacturer-approved antenna. Otherwise, take your phone to a qualified service center for repair. Use only the supplied or approved antenna. Non-approved antennas, modifications, or attachments could impair call quality, damage the phone, and violate FCC regulations. Driving Check the laws and regulations on the use of cellular telephones in the areas where you drive. Always obey them. When using your phone while driving, please: * give full attention to driving, and * pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving conditions so require. 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 call the customer service line to discuss alternatives.] Electronic Devices Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF energy. However, RF energy from cellular telephones may affect inadequately shielded electronic equipment. iii RF energy may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic operating and entertainment systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or its representative to determine if these systems are adequately shielded from external RF energy. You should also check with the manufacturer of any equipment that has been added to your vehicle. Consult the manufacturer of any personal medical devices (such as pacemakers, hearing aids, etc.) to determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF energy. Turn your phone OFF in health care facilities when any regulations posted in the areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment that could be sensitive to external RF energy. Aircraft Turn your phone OFF before boarding any aircraft. * Use it on the ground only with crew permission. * Do not use it in the air. To prevent possible interference with aircraft systems, Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) 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 cellular systems, FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while the plane is in the air. 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 also could damage the phone, or make calls that increase your telephone bills. 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. Air Bags 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 bag deployment area. If invehicle wireless equipment is improperly installed and the air bag inflates, serious injury could result. iv 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 fueling areas such as gas stations; below deck on boats; fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities; 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. Do not transport or store flammable gas, liquid, or explosives in the compartment of your vehicle which contains your phone or accessories. Vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane) must comply with the National Fire Protection Standard (NFPA-58). For a copy of this standard, contact the National Fire Protection Association, One Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269, Attn: Publication Sales Division. PACEMAKER/ICDs Research sponsored by the Wireless Technology Research, LLC ("WTR"), indicates that some wireless telephones cause interference with pacemakers. Accordingly, NEC America endorses the following recommendations issued by the WTR: Wireless phones should be kept at a safe distance from a pacemaker. Existing data indicate that the greater the distance between a pacemaker and a wireless phone, the less risk of interference. These data further indicate that six inches is the proper separation distance for minimal risk. Practical steps to achieve this separation distance include: o The wireless telephone should not be placed over the pacemaker, such as in a breast pocket, when it is in the "ON" position. (A phone is "ON" when power is being supplied to the telephone by the battery). o The phone should be used at the ear opposite the pacemaker. Note: There is nothing in the comprehensive data to suggest that bystanders with pacemakers would be at risk of interference from others who are using wireless phones. v CONTROLS AND FEATURES Antenna Earpiece Receiver Liquid Crystal Display Call Control Keys Function Keys Dialing/SMS Scroll Keys Symbol Keys/ Scroll Keys Microphone Battery Locking Catch Sounder/Speaker Volume Rechargeable Battery Pack Battery Charging Jack Battery Charging Contacts External Connector CONTENTS vi DISPLAY INDICATORS Signal Strength Indicator Clock Alarm Indicator Battery Charge Indicator Full Lock Indicator Partial Lock Indicator Digital Service Indicator Analog Service IndicatorH Home Service IndicatorR Roam Service Indicator Function Mode Indicator In Conversation Indicator Call Timer Indicator Short Message Indicator Voice Mail Indicator Repeat Dial System Indicator No Service Battery Charging c flashing RD AB 03m06s D A H R FCN SMS KEYS First Message Last Message Scroll Up Scroll Down Previous Message Next Message Left Right Delete Message Lock Message U V U V U U V V T S CLR MEM vii Getting Started Installing and Removing the Battery The Battery Charge Indicator Charging and Recharging the Battery Display Indicators Quick Reference Guide List of Menu Functions Operation of the Phone Turning On or Off Placing a Call Receiving a Call Signal Strength Volume Keys Last Number Redial Speed Dialing Menu Facility Shortcuts The Memory Permanent Memory Storing Information Group Storing Recalling Phone Numbers From Memory Keying In Names Editing Names or Numbers Displaying "Hidden" Digits Deleting Phone Numbers From Memory Recalling A Memory Location Number Scanning Phone Numbers Sequentially Scanning Phone Numbers Alphabetically Scratchpad Displaying Your Own Phone Number, Day of the Week, and Network Selection Additional Features Locking/Unlocking the Phone Length of Your Calls Total Call Time Counters Setting the Backlight Setting the Key Tone Volume Level Setting the Ringing Volume Selecting Alert Tone Type Using the Phone on Two Networks DTMF Tone Transmission Tone Generator Pauses Memory Linking 3 4 4 5 6 7 8 8 9 9 9 10 10 11 11 12 13 13 14 15 16 16 16 17 17 17 18 18 18 21 21 22 23 23 24 24 25 26 27,28 28 CONTENTS -1- System Selection (Including Roaming) Call Lists Muting/Unmuting Low Battery Alarm Error Tone Alarm Clock, Auto Power On, and Auto Off Function Setting the Alarm Setting Automatic Power On Setting Automatic Power Off Escalating Alert Automatic Locking Fixed Digit Dialing Speed Dial Memory Locking Temporary Lock Code Set Reset User Settings (Default) Wake-Up Message Programming Call Type Automatic Repeat Dialing One-Touch Dialing Multiple Language Selection Clock/Calendar Setting Minutes Reminder Tone SID Management Short Messaging Service Short Message Alerts Message Memory Periodic Message Notification Message View Mode Message View Mode Keypad Summary Message Headers Message Separators Deleting Messages Callback Feature Exiting Message Review Mode Sort Order Feature Voice Mail Feature Roll Off Feature Word Wrap Feature SMS Initialize Feature SID Management (System Identifier) Non-Public Mode NAM Programming Maintenance Care and Maintenance Troubleshooting Limited Warranty Technical Information NEC Service Support 29 31 32 33 34 34 34 36 37 39 40 41 44 45 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 55 56 56 57 59 60 60 61 62 63 64 64 65 65 66 66 67 67 67 68 72 72 73 74 77 78 GETTING STARTED -2- Your phone is powered by a rechargeable battery.

The length of the tone depends on how you have the DTMF tone generator set. Note: The Long DTMF Tone Generator has two settings, off and on. If the DTMF Tone Generator is set to off, the phone sends each Long DTMF signaling tone for 100 milli seconds. With the Long DTMF Tone Generator set to on, the phone sends each DTMF signaling tone as long as the key is pressed, up to 3 seconds max. -26- 1) Press FCN + 4.

Second, recall a number from a memory location and send it as a DTMF tone. (MEM, and the memory location number). Send the DTMF tones by pressing SND. A series of tones, each representing a number, will be heard. Hints for Storing a DTMF Number in the Memory If you need to place a manual pause between DTMF digits press FCN + 0 + 0. If you want to place a automatic pause between DTMF digits press FCN + 0 + 1 (P = 3 Seconds). If you want to link memory locations for a long DTMF number press FCN + 0 + 2. D H B 0 : Pause 1 : Auto - P 2 : MemLink PAUSES - (Manual) [FCN + 0 + 0] This function creates pauses while sending out DTMF signaling tones during conversation mode. When a manual pause is encountered in the DTMF string, the phone will pause indefinitely, until the user presses the SND key. More than one pause may be placed in a sequence, separating several groups of DTMF digits. -27- For example, this function may be used for calling a paging system and sending commands, ID numbers (PIN), and/or numeric messages: (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) "123456789" + "P" + "123456789#" + SND + SND (1) This is the phone number to be called via the cellular system. (2) This character indicates a Manual Pause. The user will wait for the initial prompt from the paging system before pressing the SND key. (3) This a DTMF digit sequence which may represent the PIN of the called pager. (4) This is the initial send keypress which causes the phone to initiate a call using the number up to the first pause mark. (5) This is the second send keypress, while in conversation mode, which will end the manual pause and start the sending of DTMF digits. PAUSES - (Automatic) [FCN + 0 + 1] This function creates pauses while sending out DTMF signalling tones during conversation mode. When an automatic pause is used, the phone will pause for three (3) seconds and then continue dialing the DTMF sequence. Multiple pauses may be placed together to extend the duration of the pause - i.e. 6, 9, 12 seconds etc. For example, this function may be used for calling a paging system and sending commands, ID numbers (PIN, and/or numeric messages: (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) (7) "123456789" + "," + "," + "123456789#" + "," + "987654321#" + SND (1) This is the phone number to be called via the cellular system. (2) This is an Automatic Pause character which indicates a 3 second delay. (3) This is a second Automatic Pause character indicating a 3 second delay. The phone will wait a total of 6 seconds before continuing with the following DTMF digits. (4) This is a DTMF digit sequence which may represent the PIN of the called pager. (5) This is an additional Automatic Pause mark. The phone will wait 3 seconds before continuing with the following DTMF digits. (6) This is a continuation of the DTMF digit sequence which may represent the numeric message to be sent to the pager. (7) This is the Send keypress which causes the phone to initiate a call. MEMORY LINKING - [FCN + 0 + 2] Memory Linking is a function that allows a phone number to be chained together with a memory recall number for the purpose of adding DTMF signalling digits after a number is to be sent. -28- For example, this function may be used to link individual longdistance recall numbers to a single recall number which holds credit card information. The primary recall number(s) would contain the link information: Recall #01 (1) (2) (3) (4) "123456789" + "L" + "99" + SND (1) This is the phone number to be called via the cellular system. (2) This is a linking mark which indicates that the following two digits represent the recall number to be linked. (3) This is the number of the memory recall location to be linked, and therefore treated as DTMF signalling. (4) This is the Send keypress which causes the phone to initiate a call. Note: Once the call is placed a pause is automatically inserted and the user must press the SND key in order to output the linked DTMF sequence. System Selection (Including Roaming) Each cellular service area can have two cellular service suppliers called carriers. One carrier is called the `A' system and the other carrier is called the `B' system. Your phone is designed to work with either or both carriers. The system priority feature allows you to program your phone for optimum operation when in your home serving area or when away from your home area. This is called roaming. When you buy your phone, you may register (receive a phone number) with either or both of your local carriers. Contact the office of your home cellular phone company for information about the roaming agreements they have with other cellular phone companies. In some areas, roaming telephones are automatically recognized by the cellular system's computer. In other areas, you must contact the cellular phone operator before it can recognize your phone. The company needs to know your telephone number, your phone's ESN (electronic serial number), and how you plan to pay for your calls. There is usually an additional charge for roaming calls. Note: The ESN for your phone is located in the battery compartment of the phone, and comprises of the first 8 digits preceded by NEC's company code of 229. -29- To Change the System Selection: 1) Press FCN + 5.
