8. Reference Information
Important Safety Information
Traffic Safety
Do not use a hand-held telephone while driving a vehicle.
If using a hand-held phone park the vehicle before conversing.
Always secure the phone 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 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 in force in any area
and always switch off your phone whenever it is forbidden to
use it, or when it may cause interference or danger.
When connecting the phone or any accessory to another device,
read its user’s guide for detailed safety instructions. Do not
connect incompatible products.
As with other mobile radio transmitting equipment, users are
advised that for the satisfactory operation of the equipment and
for the safety of personnel, it is recommended that the equip-
ment should only be used in the normal operating position (held
to your ear with the antenna pointing over your shoulder).
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 from your wireless phone.
Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum separa-
tion of 6 inches (20 cm.) be maintained between a handheld
wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference
with the pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent
with the independent research by and recommendations of
Wireless Technology Research. Persons with pacemakers:
•
Should always keep the phone more than 6 inches (20 cm)
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.
•
If you have any reason to suspect that interference is
taking place, switch off your phone immediately.
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.
81
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 manufac-
turer of the medical device to determine if they are adequately
shielded from external RF energy or if you have any questions.
Switch off your phone in health care facilities when any regula-
tions posted in these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or
health care facilities may be using equipment that could be
sensitive to external RF energy.
Vehicles
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately
shielded electronic systems in motor vehicles (e.g. electronic
fuel injection systems, electronic anti-skid (anti-lock) braking
systems, electronic speed control systems, air bag systems).
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.
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 explo-
sive 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 while at a refueling
point (service station). Users are reminded of the need to ob-
serve restrictions on 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 or 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 normally be
advised to turn off your vehicle engine.
Vehicles
Only qualified personnel should service the phone, or install the
phone in a vehicle. Faulty installation or service may be danger-
ous and may invalidate any warranty which may apply to the unit.
Check regularly that all wireless phone equipment in your
vehicle is mounted and operating properly.
Do not store or carry flammable liquids, gases or explosive
materials in the same compartment as the phone, its parts or
accessories.
82
For vehicles equipped with an air bag, remember that 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 air bag deployment area. If in-vehicle wireless
equipment is improperly installed and the air bag inflates,
serious injury could result.
Switch off your phone before boarding an aircraft. The use of
wireless telephones in an aircraft may be dangerous to the op-
eration of the aircraft, disrupt the wireless telephone network
and may be illegal.
Failure to observe these instructions may lead to the suspension
or denial of telephone services to the offender, or legal action, or
both.
Emergency Calls
IMPORTANT!
This phone, like any wireless phone, operates using radio signals,
wireless and landline networks as well as user-programmed func-
tions which can not guarantee connection in all conditions.
Therefore, you should never rely solely upon any wireless phone
for essential communications (e.g. 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 net-
works or when certain network services and/or phone features
are in use. Check with local service providers.
Making an Emergency Call
1. If the phone is not on, switch it on
2. Press the
ô
key to ready the phone for calls.
(Press it twice if there are still digits on the display.)
3. Key in the emergency number for your present
location (e.g. 911 or other official emergency
number). Emergency numbers vary by location.
4. Press
ó
If certain features are in use (keyguard, restrict calls, etc.), you
may first need to turn those features off before you can make an
emergency call. Consult this document and your local cellular
service provider.
When making an emergency call, remember to give all the ne-
cessary information as accurately as possible. Remember that
your wireless phone may be the only means of communication
at the scene of an accident - do not 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.
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 deter-
mined 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 1.25 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 LJPNSC-3NX.
_____________________________________________________
*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.

Care and Maintenance
Your phone is a product of superior design and craftsmanship
and should be treated with care. The suggestions below will
help you to fulfill any warranty obligations and allow you to enjoy
this product for many years. When using your phone, battery,
charger, OR any accessory:
•
Keep it and all its parts and accessories out of small
children’s reach.
•
Keep it dry. Precipitation, humidity and liquids contain
minerals that will corrode electronic circuits.
•
Do not use or store it in dusty, dirty areas as its moving
parts can be damaged.
•
Do not store it in hot areas. High temperatures can shorten
the life of electronic devices, damage batteries, and warp
or melt certain plastics.
•
Do not store it in cold areas. When the phone warms up
(to its normal operating temperature), moisture can form
inside the phone, which may damage the phone's
electronic circuit boards.
•
Do not attempt to open it. Non-expert handling of the
device may damage it.
•
Do not drop, knock or shake it. Rough handling can break
internal circuit boards.
•
Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong
detergents to clean it. Wipe it with a soft cloth slightly
dampened in a mild soap-and-water solution.
•
Do not paint it. Paint can clog the device’s moving parts
and prevent proper operation.
•
Use only the supplied or an approved replacement
antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications or
attachments could damage the phone and may violate
regulations governing radio devices.
•
If the phone, battery, charger, or any accessory is not
working properly, take it to your nearest qualified service
facility. The personnel there will assist you, and if
necessary, arrange for service.
