1 network services
The mobile phone described in this guide is
approved for use on the Orange network. A
number of features included in this guide are called
Network Services. These are special services that
you can arrange through Orange. Before you can
take advantage of the Network Services, you must
subscribe to them through Orange. Instructions for
these services are included in this guide.
2 everyday use of your phone
Hold your phone as you would any other telephone,
with the antenna pointing up and over your
shoulder. If your phone has an extendible antenna,
extend it fully. Do not touch the antenna
unnecessarily when the phone is switched on, as
this will affect call quality and may cause the phone
to operate at a higher power level than is needed.
As with any other radio transmitting equipment, you
are advised that for the satisfactory operation of
your phone and for your own safety, you should use
your phone only in the normal operating position.
3 using your Orange phone in a vehicle
Safety comes first, and is the ultimate responsibility
of the driver. Therefore:
■
Orange recommend that you do not use your
phone when driving, unless you are using a
wired personal handsfree kit or personal
handsfree car kit.
■
If you need to make or receive a call and you
have a personal handsfree kit or personal
handsfree car kit, make sure it is done sensibly
using speed dialling or voice activation where
possible, and keeping calls brief and to a
minimum.
■
If you don’t have a personal handsfree kit or
personal handsfree car kit, stop and park your
vehicle safely with the engine off before using
your phone, although never on a motorway slip
road or hard shoulder even if it is urgent.
■
Do not store or carry inflammable liquids, gases
or explosive materials in the same compartment
as your phone, its parts or accessories and
always store your phone safely and securely.
■
You should always use a phone holder in your
car to secure your phone safely. Never place
the phone on the passenger seat or where it
can break loose in a collision or sudden stop.
Remember : Always give your full attention to
driving. There is a personal handsfree kit and
personal handsfree car kit available for most
Orange phones which you can purchase separately

by calling the Orange Accessories Hotline on 0500
178 178 or by visiting your local stockist.
4 car kit installation
■
Only qualified personnel should install or service
the personal handsfree car kit or the phone in a
vehicle. Faulty installation or service may be
dangerous and may invalidate any warranty
which may apply to the unit.
■
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 a personal handsfree car kit
is improperly installed and the air bag inflates,
serious injury could result.
■
Check regularly that all mobile phone
equipment in your vehicle is mounted and
operating properly.
Your mobile phone is a low power radio transmitter
and receiver. When it is switched on, it receives
and sends out radio frequency (RF) signals. Most
modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF
signals. However, RF signals may affect improperly
installed or inadequately shielded electronic
systems in motor vehicles (eg electronic fuel
injection, electronic anti-lock braking, electronic
speed control or air bag systems, etc). 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.
5 fuse replacement
■
Always replace a blown fuse with a fuse of the
same type and size. Never use a fuse of a
higher rating.
