16. 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 equipment should 
only be used in the normal operating position (held to your ear with 
the antenna pointing over your shoulder).
Electronic devicesMost 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 separation 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; 
						

							70
• 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.
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 manufacturer 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 regulations 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.
Veh ic les
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 atmospheresSwitch off your phone when in any area with a potentially explosive 
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 observe restrictions 
on the use of radio equipment in fuel depots (fuel storage and distri-
bution 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. 
						

							71
Ve h ic le s
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 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.
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 operation 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 functions 
which cannot 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 networks or when 
certain network services and/or phone features are in use. Check 
with local service providers. 
						

							72
Making an emergency call
1If the phone is not on, switch it on.
2Press and hold the key for several seconds to 
ready the phone for calls.
3Key in the emergency number for your present location 
(e.g. 911 or other official emergency number). Emergency 
numbers vary by location.
4Press 
Call
If certain features are in use (Keyguard, call restrictions, 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 necessary 
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 compre-
hensive 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 determined 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, as reported 
to the FCC for this model phone is:
• 1.25 W/kg when tested for use at the ear.
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-1NX.
_____________________________________________________
*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 phones 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.
