The WAP function allows you to log onto certain Internet sites. You can log onto sites that allow you to download ringtones, icons, animated screensavers, JavaTM applications, videos to your phone. The WAP Menu The WAP navigator is under licence: Go to URL: this menu allows you to input an Internet address directly. Bookmarks: allows to store bookmarks (addresses of Internet sites). A bookmark stored in the list can be modified, sent or deleted. You can receive bookmarks and add them to this list. History: backward and forward navigation of the pages displayed are kept in memory. Browser settings: - Profiles: allows you to select or modify your provider's configuration settings or to configure others providers'settings. - Connection time out: is used to choose the time after which the call is automatically disconnected if you have forgotten to log off from a service. Note: see chapter Idle screen for information on @ and GPRS icons. The WAP navigator and the softwares included are the exclusive property of Openwave. For this reason, it is forbidden to modify, translate, disassemble or even decompile all or part of these softwares. 30 WAP WAP Logging on The connection to a WAP service on the GPRS network is not cut if an incoming call is received. You can answer the call. If you are logging onto the GSM or GPRS network, the @ symbol flashes, the metering of the cost of the call starts as soon as it stops flashing. Downloading objects Some WAP sites allow you to download ringtones, icons, animated screensavers, games or JAVATM applications. Once downloaded, they are stored in your phone's memory. You can then save them in your phone (same operation as used for downloading using messages). WAP Logging off To log off, press . The logoff happens automatically after a few seconds of inactivity if you forget to log off. This period is defined by the linger time setting. GPRS A flashing icon indicates that the phone is logging onto a GPRS network. A non-flashing icon indicates that the GPRS network is available; if the icon is dark, it indicates that the phone is logged onto the GPRS network. This icon is not displayed if the GPRS network is not available or if the SIM card inserted in your phone does not include the GPRS service. It may also disappear when accessing WAP services if the connection uses the GSM network instead of the GPRS network. WAP 31 Games Your phone contains one or several games, depending on model. You can download more. You are the owner of a SAGEM mobile phone which gives you the ability to download applications and games to be executed on your phone thanks to the built-in JavaTM engine.

It is designed not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio waves recommended by international guidelines. These guidelines were developed by the independent scientific organization ICNIRP and include safety margins designed to assure the protection of all persons, regardless of age and health. The guidelines use a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit for mobile devices is 2 W/kg and the highest SAR value for this device when tested at the ear was 0.97 W/kg (*). As mobile devices offer a range of functions, they can be used in other positions, such as on the body as described in this user guide (**). As SAR is measured utilizing the devices highest transmitting power the actual SAR of this device while operating is typically below that indicated above. This is due to automatic changes to the power level of the device to ensure it only uses the minimum level required to reach the network. The World Health Organization has stated that present scientific information does not indicate the need for any special precautions for the use of mobile devices. They note that if you want to reduce your exposure then you can do so by limiting the length of calls or using a 'hands-free' device to keep the mobile phone away from the head and body. Additional Information can be found on the websites of the World Health Organization (http://www.who.int/emf) Advice for limiting exposure to radiofrequency (RF) fields For individuals concerned about limiting their exposure to RF fields, the World Health Organization (WHO) provides the following advice: Precautionary measures: Present scientific information does not indicate the need for any special precautions for the use of mobile phones. If individuals are concerned, they might choose to limit their own or their children's' RF exposure by limiting the length of calls, or using "hands-free" devices to keep mobile phones away from the head and body. Further information on this subject can be obtained from the WHO home page http://www.who.int/peh-emf WHO Fact sheet 193: June 2000. (*) The tests are carried out in accordance with international guidelines for testing. (**) Please see the Distance of operation section about body worn operation, page 51. Care and safety information 49 Safety Never attempt to disassemble your phone. You alone are responsible for how you use your phone and any consequences of its use. As a general rule, always switch off your phone wherever the use of a phone is prohibited. Use of your phone is subject to safety measures designed to protect users and their environment. Do not use your phone in damp areas (bathroom, swimming pool...). Protect it from liquids and other moisture. Do not expose your phone to extreme temperatures lower than - 10°C an higher than + 55°C. The physicochemical processes created by chargers impose temperature limits when charging the battery. Your phone automatically protects the batteries in extreme temperatures. Do not leave your phone within the reach of small children (certain removable parts may be accidentally ingested). Electrical safety Only use the chargers listed in the manufacturer's catalogue. Using any other charger may be dangerous; it would also invalidate your warranty. Line voltage must be exactly the one indicated on the charger's serial plate. Aircraft safety When travelling by plane, you will need to switch your phone off when so instructed by the cabin crew or the warning signs. Using a mobile phone may be dangerous to the operation of the aircraft and may disrupt the phone network. Its use is illegal and you could be prosecuted or banned from using cellular networks in the future if you do not abide by these regulations. Explosive materials Please comply with warning signs at petrol station asking you to switch your phone off. You will need to comply with radio equipment usage restrictions in places such as chemical plants, fuel depots and at any location where blasting operations are under way. Electronic equipment To avoid the risk of demagnetisation, do not let electronic devices close to your phone for a long time. Electronic medical equipment Your phone is a radio transmitter which may interfere with electronic medical equipment or implants, such as hearing aids, pacemakers, insulin pumps, etc. It is recommended that a minimum separation of 15 cm be maintained between the phone and an implant. Your doctor or the manufacturers of such equipment will be able to give you any advice you may need in this area. Hospitals Always make sure that your phone is switched off in hospitals when so instructed by warning signs or by medical staff. 50 Care and safety information
