1. Important Saf ety Information T raffic Safety Do not use a hand-held telephone while driving a vehicle. If using a hand-held telephone park the vehicle before conversing. Always secure the ph one in its holder; do not 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 vehicleâ s lights or horn on public roads is not permitted. Remember road safety always comes first! Operating Environment Remember to follow any special regulation s in force in any area and always switch off your phone whenever it is forbidden to use it, or when it may cause interfer ence or danger . Operation of any radio transmitting equipment, including PCS1900 telephones, may interfere with the functionali ty of inadequately protected medical devices. Consult a physician or the manufacturer of the medical device if you have any questions. Other electronic equipment may also be subject to interference. As with other mobile radio transmitting equipment, users are adv ised that for the satisfactory operation of the equipment and for the safety of personnel, it is recommended that the equipment should only be used in the normal operating position. Users are advised to switch off the ph one when at a refueli ng point (service station). Users are reminded of the need to observe restrictions on the use of radio equipment in fuel depots (fuel storage and distribution areas), chemical plants or where blasting operations are in progress. 1
Do not store or carry flammable liquids, gases or explosive materials in the same compartments as the phone, its parts or accessories. Only quali fied personnel should install or service the phone in a vehicle. Faulty instal lation or service may be dangerous and may invalidate th e warranty . Electronic fuel injection systems, electronic anti-skid braking systems, el ectronic cruise control systems and other electroni c systems can malfuncti on due to the lack of protection from radio signals. Check regularly th at all PCS1900 phone equipment in a vehicle is mounted and operating pr operly . Switch off you r PCS1900 phone when in an aircraft. The use of PCS1900 telephones in an aircraft may be dangerous to the operation of the aircraft, disrupt the PCS1900 network, and is illegal. Failure to observe these instruction s may lead to suspension or denial of PCS1900 telephone services to the offender , or legal action or both. Emergency Calls IMPORT ANT! This phone, like any PCS1900 telephone, operates using radio signals, PCS1900 and landline networks, and user -programmed functions which cannot guarantee connection in all conditions. The refor e you should never rely solely upon any PCS1900 phone for essential communications (e.g. medical emergencies). Remember , to make or receive any calls this phone must be switched on and in a service area with adequate PCS1900 signal strength. Emergency calls may not be possible on all PCS1900 networks or when certain network services and/or phone features are in use. Check with local service provid ers. 2
When making an emergency call, remember to give all the necessary information as accurately as possible. Remember that your PCS1900 phone may be the only means of communication at the scene of an accident â do not cut off the call until given permission to do so. If certain features are in use (such as Key Lock), you may first need to turn those features of f before you can make an emergency call.

2. The Battery and SIM Card The Battery Y our phone is powered by a rechargeable battery . Use only batteries app roved by the phone manufacturer and recharge your battery only with the chargers approved by the manufacturer . See âÂÂImportant Battery Informationâ later in this section. New batte ries must be charged with the phone off for at least 24 hours bef ore initial use. A new batte ryâ s full performanc e is achie ved only after two or three complete charge and dischar ge cy cles ! Note: See âÂÂAccessoriesâ for more information on chargers and other accessories. Installing a Battery Removing a Battery Switch off th e phone before r emoving the battery . 5
Charging a New Battery or Rechar ging a Battery Connect the charger to the phone before plugg ing the charger into a standard 120V AC outlet. The battery segments scroll to show that the battery is charging. Allow the battery to completely charge. See the âÂÂAccessoriesâ chapter for information on battery charging times. Charging is finished when the segments stop scrolling. When charging is finished, disconnect the charger from the AC outlet and from the phone. Using the phone near the network â s base station consumes less power . Keeping the antenna full y extended whenever possible maintains the connection to the network with less power . Dischargi ng the Battery Either leave your phone switched on until it turns itself off or use the battery discharge facility of any approved accessory available for your phone. The battery can be charged and discharged hundreds of times but it will 6
eventually wear out. When the operating time is noticeably shorter than normal, it is time to buy a new battery . Battery Low/Recharge Y ou get this message and hear two short beeps when a couple of minutes of talk time remain. When no more battery power remains, you get another tone and the message RECHARGE BATTERY . The phone switches itself off. If the message NOT CHARGING is displayed, charging is suspended. Check that the battery is not overheated (over 104ðF/40ðC), too cold, or connected to a non-appro ved charging device. W ait for a while, connect the charger to the phone again and retry . If charging still fails, contact your dealer . Important Battery Informa tion For good operation times, discharge the battery from time to time by leaving your phone switched on until it turns itself off or by using the battery discharge fa cility of any approved accessory available for your phone. Do not attempt to discharge the battery by any other means. When a charger is not in use, disconnect it from the power source. Do not leave the battery connected to a charger for longer than a week; overcharging may shorten its life. If left unused, a fully charged battery will discharge itself in about a week at room temperature. It is recommended that you allow your battery to fully discharge before you recharge it. When the battery is not in use, store it uncharged in a cool, dark and dry place. A BATTERY LOW Menu Memory 7
T emperature extremes af fect the ability of your battery to charge: it may requir e cooling or warming first. Do not short circuit the battery . Accidental short circuiti ng can occur when a metallic object (e.g. coin, clip, or pen) causes direct connection of the and - terminals of the battery (metal strips on the back of the battery), for example when you carry a spare battery in your pocket or purse. Short circuitin g the terminal may damage the battery or the connecting object. Use the battery only for its intended purpose. Never use any charger or battery that is damaged or worn out. Leaving the battery in hot or cold places, such as in a closed car in summer or winter conditions, re duces the capacity and lifetime of the battery . Always try to keep the battery between 59 ðF and 77 ðF (15 ðC and 25 ðC). A phone with a hot or cold battery may temporarily not work, even if the battery is fully charged. NiMH battery performance is particularly limite d in temperatures below 14 ðF (-10 ðC). The battery is a sealed unit with no serviceable parts. Do not attempt to open the case. Do not dispose of a battery in a fire! Dispose of used batteries in accordance with local regulations. Recycle! The SIM Card The SIM card and its contacts can be easily damaged by scratches or bending, so be careful when you handle the card. Note: Keep all miniature SIM cards out of small childrenâ s reach.

Close the holder by pushing it towards the phone. Pull the catch gently toward âÂÂLockâ (1). When you are sure that the holder is firmly engaged, slide the cover of the SIM card reader back into place (2). PIN and PIN2 Codes (4 to 8 digits) A PIN (Personal Identity Number) code comes with the SIM card. The phone requires this code each time you switch the phone on if you enable PIN Code Request (in Menu 5 1). 1. 2. 3. 1. 2. 9
The PIN2 code comes with some SIM cards and is requir ed to access some functions, such as charging unit counters, which must be supported by the SIM card. If you enter a wrong PIN or PIN2 code three times in a row , that PIN or PIN2 code is disabled. Y ou will be prompted for the PUK code (for the PIN) or the PUK2 code (for the PIN2) and a new PIN or PIN2 code. PUK and PUK2 Codes (at least 8 digits) The PUK (Personal Unblocking Key) is required to change a disabled PIN code. The PUK2 code is requir ed when you want to change a disabled PIN2 code. If you enter a wrong PUK code ten times in succession, you cannot use the SIM card any more. Contact your network operator for a new card. If you enter a wrong PUK2 code ten times in succession, you cannot access the functions that requir e the PIN2 code. Contact your network operator . Y ou cannot change the PUK or PUK2 code.
