Other Important Safety Information

 

  Only qualified personnel should service the phone or install the phone in a 

vehicle. Faulty installation or service may be dangerous and may invalidate 
any warranty applicable to the device.

 

  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.

 

  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 
wireless equipment is improperly installed and the air bag inflates, serious 
injury could result.

 

  Switch your phone off before boarding an aircraft. The use of wireless phone 

in aircraft is illegal and may be dangerous to the aircraft's operation.

 

  Failure to observe these instructions may lead to the suspension or denial of 

telephone services to the offender, or legal action, or both.

 

Product Performance

 

Getting the Most Out of Your Signal Reception 

The quality of each call you make or receive depends on the signal strength in your 
area. Your phone informs you of the current signal strength by displaying a number 
of bars next to the signal strength icon. The more bars displayed, the stronger the 
signal.

 

If you're inside a building, being near a window may give you better reception.

 

Understanding the Power Save Feature

 

If your phone is unable to find a signal after 15 minutes of searching, a Power Save 
feature is automatically activated. If your phone is active, it periodically rechecks 
service availability or you can check it yourself by pressing any key.

 

Anytime the Power Save feature is activated, a message displays on the screen. 
When a signal is found, your phone returns to standby mode.

 

 

Maintaining Your Phone's Peak Performance

 

For the best care of your phone, only authorized personnel should service your 
phone and accessories. Faulty service may void the warranty.

 

There are several simple guidelines to operating your phone properly and 
maintaining safe, satisfactory service.

 

  Place the mobile phone's acoustic output next to your ear for proper 

orientation. 

 

  Do not tamper or alter the phone's antenna.

 

  Don't use the phone if the antenna is damaged.

 

  Speak directly into the phone's receiver.

 

  Avoid exposing your phone and accessories to rain or liquid spills. If your 

phone does get wet, immediately turn the power off and remove the battery. 
If it is inoperable, call Customer Care for service.
