Export Information
The mobile phone may be subject to
export regulation of the United States
and other countries. Diversion con-
trary to law is prohibited. You must
comply with all applicable export laws,
restrictions and regulations of the
United States foreign agencies or au-
thorities, and may not export, or trans-
fer for the purpose of re-export, the
mobile phone or any part of the phone
in violation of any applicable restric-
tions, laws or regulations, or without
all necessary approvals.
Network Services
A number of features included in this
guide are called Network Services.
They are special services provided by
wireless service providers. In order
to use any of these Network Servic-
es, you must subscribe to these ser-
vice(s) from your service provider
and obtain instructions for their use.
Some of these Network Services may
not be available when roaming on a
network other than your home
network.
Standby and
Talk Time Information
The mobile phone incorporates fea-
tures that are new to the mobile
phone world. These may include col-
or displays and lighting, graphic
games, music reproduction and
browsing the Internet. The way you
use the display and the features will
affect the performance of the bat-
tery and how long it lasts between
charge cycles. The quoted standby
times and talk times show the mini-
mum and maximum performance
that can be expected from the bat-
tery under normal network condi-
tions and with the default settings as
set by the factory. However, playing
games (particularly with the back-
light continuously switched on) and
listening to music will shorten the
time available for standby and to
make and receive telephone calls.
Operation times also vary depending
on network conditions, SIM settings,
charging and battery condition, how
you use your phone and other
factors.

Memory
The mobile phone contains an inter-
nal memory device that stores the
software required to operate the
mobile phone, communicate with
the GSM/GPRS network and provide
the user interface. Some features in
the internal memory run additional
devices and some additional games
and utilities. The amount of memory
available in the mobile phone is fi-
nite and may be insufficient to store
large numbers of applications and
files.
Warning!
Remember to back up your data and to do
so frequently. Always back up all data and
programs before sending the mobile phone
in for repair.

Safety precautions
Information for parents
Please read the operating instructions and safety precautions carefully be-
fore use.
Explain the content and the hazards associated with using the phone to your
children.
Remember to comply with
legal requirements and lo-
cal restrictions when us-
ing the phone. For exam-
ple in aeroplanes, petrol
stations, hospitals or
while driving.
Cellular phones can inter-
fere with the functioning of
medical devices such as
hearing aids
or pacemakers. Keep at
least 9 inches (20 cm)
between phone and pace-
maker. When using the cell
phone hold it to the ear
which is farthest from the
pacemaker. For more infor-
mation consult your doctor.
Ringtones, info tones and
handsfree talking are re-
produced through the
loudspeaker. Do not hold
the phone to the ear when
it rings or when you have
switched on the handsfree
function. Otherwise you
risk serious permanent
damage to your hearing.
Only use original batteries
(100 % mercury-free) and
– charging devices. Other-
wise you risk serious dam-
age to health and proper-
ty. The battery could
explode, for instance.
Small parts such as the SIM
card, sealing stop, lens
ring and lens cap as well as
the Micro SD Card can be
dismantled and swallowed
by small children. The
phone must therefore be
stored out of the reach of
small children.
The mains voltage speci-
fied on the power supply
unit (V) must not be ex-
ceeded. Otherwise the
charging device may be
destroyed.
The power supply must be
plugged into an easily ac-
cessible AC mains power
socket when charging the
battery. The only way to
turn off the charging de-
vice after charging the
battery is to unplug it.

You must not open the
battery under any circum-
stances. All other changes
to this device are strictly
prohibited and will invali-
date the guarantee.
Important:
Please dispose of unwant-
ed batteries and phones
as permitted by the laws
in your country.
The phone may cause in-
terference in the vicinity
of TV sets, radios and PCs.
Use only original accessories. This
will avoid potential risks to health or
property and ensure compliance
with all relevant regulations.
Improper use will invalidate the
guarantee! These safety instructions
also apply to original accessories.
Product attributes are subject to
changes in technology, design and
availability. BenQ reserves the right
to modify products without prior
notice.
This cellular phone offers a range of
functions, it can be used in posi-
tions other than the head, such as

Template: X75, Version 2.2;VAR Language: en; VAR issue date: 051116
Antenna care
Use only the supplied or an approved
replacement antenna. Unauthorized
antennas, modifications, or attach-
ments could damage the phone and
may violate FCC regulations.
Phone operation
Normal position
Hold the phone as you would any
other telephone with the antenna
pointed up and over your shoulder.
Tips on efficient operation
For your phone to operate most
efficiently:
Extend your antenna fully
(if applicable).
Do not touch the antenna unnec-
essarily when the phone is in use.
Contact with the antenna affects
call quality and may cause the
phone to operate at a higher pow-
er level than otherwise needed.
Driving
Laws pertaining to the use of mobile
phones while driving vary significant-
ly from state to state and sometimes
even from locality to locality within
states. For example, some areas may
allow persons to use their mobile
phones only if they employ a hands-
free device, and some areas may
prohibit the use of cell phones
entirely. Accordingly, BenQ recom-
mends that persons check the laws for
the areas in which they drive or will be
driving. For areas where the use of
mobile phones while driving is per-
mitted, BenQ encourages persons to
use their phones responsibly and to
employ hands-free devices. Also, if us-
ing your phone while driving, please:
Give full attention to driving –
driving safely is your first
responsibility;
Use hands-free operation, if
available;
Pull off the road and park before
making or answering a call, if
driving conditions so require.
For vehicles equipped with
air bags
An air bag inflates with great force.
DO NOT place objects, including ei-
ther installed or portable wireless
equipment, in the area over the air
bag or in the air bag deployment ar-
ea. If in-vehicle wireless equipment is
improperly installed and the air bag
inflates, serious injury could result.
Important
Read this information before using
your wireless handheld phone.
As this mobile phone is equipped
with a fixed (non-retractable) an-
tenna, some paragraphs in the text
below may not be applicable.

Template: X75, Version 2.2;VAR Language: en; VAR issue date: 051116
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
The Health Industry Manufacturers'
Association recommends that a min-
imum separation of six inches (6")
be maintained between a handheld
wireless phone and a pacemaker to
avoid potential interference with the
pacemaker. These recommenda-
tions are consistent with the inde-
pendent research by and recommen-
dations of Wireless Technology
Research.
Persons with pacemakers
should ALWAYS keep the phone
more than six inches from their
pacemaker when the phone is
turned ON;
should not carry the phone in a
breast pocket;
should use the ear opposite the
pacemaker to minimize the poten-
tial for interference;
should turn the phone OFF imme-
diately if there is any reason to
suspect that interference is taking
place.
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 or your hearing aid manu-
facturer to discuss alternatives.

Template: X75, Version 2.2;VAR Language: en; VAR issue date: 051116
Other medical devices
If you use any other personal medi-
cal devices, consult the manufactur-
ers of your devices to determine if
they are adequately shielded from
external RF energy. Your physician
may be able to assist you in obtain-
ing this information.
Turn your phone OFF in health care
facilities when any regulations post-
ed 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.
Check with the manufacturer or its
representative regarding your vehi-
cle. You should also consult the
manufacturer of any equipment that
has been added to your vehicle.
Posted facilities
Turn your phone OFF in any facility
where posted notices so require.
Airplanes
FCC and Airline Regulations prohibit
using your phone while in the air.
Turn your phone OFF when request-
ed by the airline.
Check and comply with the policy of
your airline regarding the use of your
phone while the airplane is on the
ground.
Blasting areas
To avoid interfering with blasting op-
erations, turn your phone OFF when
in a “blasting area” or in areas post-
ed: “Turn off two-way radio.” Obey
all signs and instructions.

Template: X75, Version 2.2;VAR Language: en; VAR issue date: 051116
Potentially explosive
atmospheres
Turn your phone OFF 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.
Areas with a potentially explosive at-
mosphere are often but not always
clearly marked. They include: fueling
areas such as gasoline stations; be-
low deck on boats; fuel or chemical
transfer or storage facilities; vehicles
using liquefied petroleum gas (such
as propane or butane); areas where
the air contains chemicals or parti-
cles, such as grain, dust or metal
powders; and any other area where
you would normally be advised to
turn off your vehicle engine.
Emergency calls (SOS)
Your wireless phone can be used
to make emergency calls. You can
make an emergency call from the
main display screen. Enter the local
emergency number such as 911 and
then press the A key.
This phone, like any wireless phone,
operates using radio signals, wire-
less and landline networks, and user-
programmed functions. Because of
this, connections in all conditions
cannot be guaranteed. Therefore,
you should never rely solely on any
wireless phone for essential commu-
nications (for example, medical
emergencies). Remember – to make
or receive any calls, the phone must
be switched on and be used in a ser-
vice area that has adequate signal
strength. Emergency calls might not
be possible on all wireless phone
networks or when certain network
services or phone features are in use.
Check with local service providers re-
garding their network features.
Always make certain that your
phone is properly charged before
attempting any emergency calls. If
you allow your battery to discharge,
you will be unable to receive or make
calls, including emergency calls. You
must then wait a few minutes after
the charging begins to place any
emergency calls.
When making an emergency call,
remember to give all of the neces-
sary information as accurately as
possible. Remember that your wire-
less phone might be the only means
of communication at the scene of an
accident, therefore you should not
terminate the call until given permis-
sion to do so.

Getting started
Your phone's displays are covered
with a protective film. Remove this
film slowly before using the phone.
In rare cases, static discharge may
cause discolouration at the edges of
the display. However, this will disap-
pear within approx. 10 minutes.
Inserting the SIMcard/
Micro SD card
The service provider supplies you
with a SIM card on which all the im-
portant data for your line is stored. If
the SIM card has been delivered in
credit-card size, snap the smaller
segment out and remove any rough
edges.
The Micro SD Card gives your phone
a very large memory capacity. This
allows you to save picture/video files
and sound recordings, for example.
However, you can also use this Micro
SD Card like a floppy disk to save any
other files.
You can access the list of folders and
files in the My stuff menu (page 116).
If you assign a file from the Micro SD
Card to a function in the phone such
as a ringtone, the file is copied to the
phone memory.
Place the SIM card in front of the
slot with the contact surface fac-
ing downwards 1. Ensure that the
chamfered corner is in the correct
position.
Place the Micro SD Card in front of
the slot 2.
Attention
Insert the SIM card before inserting the
Micro SD Card.When the Micro SD Card is
wrongly inserted into the SIM card slot, it
cannot be removed!
New Micro SD Card
Create a backup copy of the data on the
old Micro SD Card on a PC.
Format the new Micro SD Card.
Copy the data from the PC onto the new
Micro SD Card.

lease mechanism. The card is
ejected.
Inserting the battery
Insert the battery into the
phone 3, then press it
downwards 4 until it engages.
To close the cover place the cover
in position, so that the check
marks get caught in the cut-
outs 5. Then press it downwards,
until it clicks into place 6.

ing instructions that come with the Micro
SD Card.

Charging time
An empty battery is fully charged
after about 2 hours. Charging is only
possible within a temperature range
of +5 °C to +40 °C (+41°F to +104°F).
If the temperature rises/falls 5°C
above/below this, i.e drops to 32°F

The charge level of the battery is
only displayed correctly after an un-
interrupted charging/discharging
cycle. You should therfore not remove
the battery unnecessarily and where
possible not end the charging process
prematurely.
Operating time and
temperature
The operating time depends on the
operating conditions. Extreme tem-
peratures considerably reduce the
phone’s standby time. Avoid placing
the phone in the sun or on a heater.
Talktime:
UMTS: up to 210 minutes
GSM: up to 270 minutes
Standby time:
UMTS: up to 250 hours
GSM: up to 300 hours
Charge icon not visible

fully, the charge icon is not immedi-
ately visible when the power supply
is plugged in. It will appear after up
to two hours. In this case the battery
is fully charged after 3 to 4 hours.

for long periods. This is normal and not
dangerous.
If the battery is removed for longer than
30 seconds, the clock must be reset.
The phone may heat up during data transfer
or when using UMTS. This is normal and not
dangerous.
The talktime and standby time depend on
the network environment. For more exam-
ples of functions that reduce the standby
time, e.g. animated screensaver, fast
search, see page 144.
If the phone powered down because of
low battery, it will power on again automat-
ically when charged.

Connectivity
Your phone supports different
methods for transmitting data in the
mobile network:
The fastest method is UMTS
(Universal Mobile
Telecommunications System). If
you use UMTS, you can make vid-
eo calls in high quality. You can be
connected to the Internet perma-
nently. Only the current transmis-
sion time is charged by the
network operator. Some service
providers do not yet support this
service.
•GPRS (General Packet Radio
Service) is another method for
transmitting data in the mobile
network. With GPRS you can be
connected to the Internet perma-
nently, as well, if the network has
sufficient capacity. Only the cur-
rent transmission time is charged
by the network operator.
•GSM (Global System for Mobile
Communications) is a fully digital
standard for mobile networks
mainly used for voice calls and
text messages (SMS).
Depending on the surrounding net-
work and your provider, the differ-
ent methods are used automatically.
Depending on your provider you
may set which method to use
(page 140).
Digital Rights Mgmt.
(DRM)
Remember that your phone has
digital rights management. The use
of downloaded pictures, sounds
or applications can be restricted
by the suppliers, e.g. copy protec-
tion, use for a limited period of time
only, number of times they can be
used, etc.

About SMS
You can transmit and receive long
messages (up to 760 characters) on
your phone. They are automatically
divided into concatenated SMS mes-
sages (note higher charges).
About MMS
The Multimedia Message Service
(MMS) enables you to send texts,
pictures/videos and sounds in a com-
bined message to another mobile
phone or to an e-mail address. All el-
ements of an MMS message are
merged into a "slide show".
Depending on your phone's settings,
you will receive either the complete
message automatically or notifica-
tion that an MMS has been saved in
the network, giving sender and size
details. You may then download it to
your phone to read it.
Ask your service provider whether
this service is available. You may
need to register for this service
separately.

Care and maintenance
Your phone has been designed and manu-
factured to the highest of standards and
should be treated with great care. The sug-
gestions below will help you to enjoy your
phone for many years.
Protect your phone from moisture and hu-
midity. Precipitation, humidity and liquids
contain minerals that will corrode electron-
ic circuits. Nevertheless, should your
phone become wet, disconnect it immedi-
ately from the power supply to avoid elec-
tric shock. Do not place your phone (even
to dry it) on/in a source of heat such as
a microwave oven, oven or radiator. The
phone may become overheated and
possibly explode.
Do not use or store the phone in dusty,
dirty areas. Its moving parts may be
damaged and the casing may become
deformed and discoloured.
Do not store your phone in hot environ-
ments (e.g. vehicle instrument panel in the
summer). High temperatures can shorten
the life of electronic devices, damage bat-
teries and warp or melt certain plastics.
Do not store your phone in cold environ-
ments. When the phone warms up again
(to its normal ambient temperature), mois-
ture can form inside the phone, which may
damage electronic circuit boards.
Do not drop, knock or shake your phone.
Rough handling can damage internal cir-
cuit boards!
Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning
solvents, or strong detergents to clean
the phone!
The suggestions given above apply equally
to your phone, battery, charger and all ac-
cessories. If any of these parts is not working
properly, obtain fast and reliable help at our
service centres.
Battery quality statement
The capacity of your mobile phone battery
will reduce each time it is charged/emptied.
Storage at too high or low temperatures will
also result in a gradual capacity loss. As
a result the operating time of your mobile
phone may be considerably reduced, even
after a full recharge of the battery.
Regardless of this, the battery has been de-
signed and manufactured so that it can be
recharged and used for six months after the
purchase of you mobile phone. After six
months, if the battery is clearly suffering from
loss of performance, we recommend that
you replace it. Please buy only original
batteries.
Display quality
declaration
For technological reasons, a few small dots
with different colours may appear in the dis-
play in exceptional cases.
Just remember that the appearance of
brighter or darker dots generally does not
mean that a fault has occurred.

SAR
INFORMATION ON RF EXPOSURE /
SPECIFIC ABSORPTION RATE (SAR)
THIS MODEL MEETS THE GOVERN-
MENT’S REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPO-
SURE TO RADIO WAVES
Your cellular phone is a radio trans-
mitter and receiver. It is designed to
meet the requirements for exposure
to radio waves established by the
Federal Communications Commis-
sion (FCC, USA) and by Health Cana-
da. These requirements include safe-
ty margins designed to assure the
protection of all persons, regardless
of age and health. They use a unit of
measurement known as the Specific
Absorption Rate (SAR). The SAR limit
is 1.6 W/kg averaged over one gram
of tissue.
The highest SAR value for this device
when tested at the ear was 0.42 W/kg.
In positions other than the head,
such as on the body, a separation
distance of 1.5 cm is required. The
highest SAR value in this case was
0.53 W/kg.
Information about this device model
can be found at
http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid
by searching the equipment authori-
zation system using FCC ID: PWX-EF81.
As SAR is measured utilizing the de-
vice’s highest transmitting power,
the actual SAR of this device while
operating is typically below that indi-
cated above. This is due to automatic
changes to the power level of the de-
vice to ensure it only uses the mini-
mum level required to reach the net-
work.

U.S. FDA
The U.S. Food and Drug
Administration's (FDA) Center
for Devices and Radiological
Health Consumer Update on
Mobile Phones
FDA has been receiving inquiries
about the safety of mobile phones,
including cellular phones and PCS
phones. The following summarizes
what is know – and what remains
unknown – about whether these
products can pose a hazard to
health, and what can be done to
minimize any potential risk. This in-
formation may be used to
respond to questions.
Why the concern?
Mobile phones emit low levels of ra-
dio frequency energy (i.e., radio fre-
quency radiation) in the microwave
range while being used. They also
emit very low levels of radio frequen-
cy energy (RF), considered non-sig-
nificant, when in the stand-by mode.
It is well known that high levels of RF
can produce biological damage
through heating effects (this is how
your microwave oven is able to cook
food). However, it is not known
whether, to what extent, or through
what mechanism, lower levels of RF
might cause adverse health effects
as well. Although some research has
been done to address these ques-
tions, no clear picture of the biologi-
cal effects of this type of radiation
has emerged to date. Thus, the avail-
able science does not allow us to
conclude that mobile phones are ab-
solutely safe, or that they are unsafe.
However, the available scientific evi-
dence does not demonstrate ad-
verse health effects associated with
the use of mobile phones.
What kinds of phones are in question?
Questions have been raised about
hand-held mobile phones, the kind
that have a built-in antenna that is
positioned close to the user's head
during normal telephone conversa-
tion. These types of mobile phones
are of concern because of the short
distance between the phone's an-
tenna – the primary source of the RF
– and the person's head. The expo-
sure to RF from mobile phones in
which the antenna is located at
greater distances from the user (on
the outside of a car, for example) is
drastically lower than that from
hand-held phones, because a per-
son's RF exposure decreases rapidly
with distance from the source. The
safety of so-called “cordless phones,”
which have a base unit connected to
the telephone wiring in a house and
which operate at far lower power
levels and frequencies, has not been
questioned.

How much evidence is there that hand-
held mobile phones might be harmful?
Briefly, there is not enough evidence
to know for sure, either way; howev-
er, research efforts are on-going.
The existing scientific evidence is
conflicting and many of the studies
that have been done to date have
suffered from flaws in their research
methods. Animal experiments inves-
tigating the effects of RF exposures
characteristic of mobile phones have
yielded conflicting results. A few ani-
mal studies, however, have suggest-
ed that low levels of RF could accel-
erate the development of cancer in
laboratory animals. In one study,
mice genetically altered to be predis-
posed to developing one type of can-
cer developed more than twice as
many such cancers when they were
exposed to RF energy compared to
controls. There is much uncertainty
among scientists about whether re-
sults obtained from animal studies
apply to the use of mobile phones.
First, it is uncertain how to apply the
results obtained in rats and mice to
humans. Second, many of the stud-
ies showed increased tumor devel-
opment used animals that had al-
ready been treated with cancer-
causing chemicals, and other studies
exposed the animals to the RF virtu-
ally continuously – up to 22 hours
per day.
For the past five years in the United
States, the mobile phone industry
has supported research into the safe-
ty of mobile phones. This research
has resulted in two findings in partic-
ular that merit additional study:
1. In a hospital-based, case-control
study, researchers looked for an asso-
ciation between mobile phone use
and either glioma (a type of brain can-
cer) or acoustic neuroma (a benign
tumor of the nerve sheath). No statis-
tically significant association was
found between mobile phone use and
acoustic neuroma. There was also no
association between mobile phone
use and gliomas when all types of
gliomas were considered together. It
should be noted that the average
length of mobile phone exposure in
this study was less than three years.
When 20 types of glioma were con-
sidered separately, however, an as-
sociation was found between mobile
phone use and one rare type of glio-
ma, neuroepithelliomatous tumors.
It is possible with multiple compari-
sons of the same sample that this as-
sociation occurred by chance. More-
over, the risk did not increase with
how often the mobile phone was
used, or the length of the calls. In
fact, the risk actually decreased with
cumulative hours of mobile phone
use. Most cancer causing agents in-
crease risk with increased exposure.
An ongoing study of brain cancers by
the National Cancer Institute is ex-

pected to bear on the accuracy and
repeatability of these results.1
2. Researchers conducted a large
battery of laboratory tests to assess
the effects of exposure to mobile
phone RF on genetic material. These
included tests for several kinds of ab-
normalities, including mutations,
chromosomal aberrations, DNA
strand breaks, and structural chang-
es in the genetic material of blood
cells called lymphocytes. None of
the tests showed any effect of the RF
except for the micronucleus assay,
which detects structural effects on
the genetic material. The cells in this
assay showed changes after expo-
sure to simulated cell phone radia-
tion, but only after 24 hours of expo-
sure. It is possible that exposing the
test cells to radiation for this long re-
sulted in heating. Since this assay is
known to be sensitive to heating,
heat alone could have caused the ab-
normalities to occur. The data al-
ready in the literature on the re-
sponse of the micronucleus assay to
RF are conflicting. Thus follow-up re-
search is necessary.2
FDA is currently working with gov-
ernment, industry, and academic
groups to ensure the proper follow-
up to these industry-funded research
findings. Collaboration with the Cel-
lular Telecommunications Industry
Association (CTIA) in particular is ex-
pected to lead to FDA providing re-
search recommendations and scien-
tific oversight of new CTIA-funded
research based on such recommen-
dations.
Two other studies of interest have
been reported recently in the
literature:
Two groups of 18 people were ex-
posed to simulated mobile phone
signals under laboratory condi-
tions while they performed cogni-
tive function tests. There were no
changes in the subjects' ability to
recall words, numbers, or pic-
tures, or in their spatial memory,
but they were able to make choic-
es more quickly in one visual test
when they were exposed to simu-
lated mobile phone signals. This
was the only change noted among
more than 20 variables com-
pared.3
In a study of 209 brain tumor cas-
es and 425 matched controls,
there was no increased risk of
brain tumors associated with mo-
bile phone use. When tumors did
exist in certain locations, howev-
er, they were more likely to be on
the side of the head where the
mobile phone was used. Because
this occurred in only a small num-
ber of cases, the increased likeli-
hood was too small to be
statistically significant.4
In summary, we do not have enough
information at this point to assure
the public that there are, or are not,
any low incident health problems as-
sociated with use of mobile phones.

FDA continues to work with all par-
ties, including other federal agencies
and industry, to assure that research
is undertaken to provide the neces-
sary answers to the outstanding
questions about the safety of mobile
phones.
What is known about cases of human
cancer that have been reported in users
of hand-held mobile phones?
Some people who have used mobile
phones have been diagnosed with
brain cancer. But it is important to
understand that this type of cancer
also occurs among people who have
not used mobile phones. In fact,
brain cancer occurs in the U.S. popu-
lation at a rate of about 6 new cases
per 100,000 people each year. At
that rate, assuming 80 million users
of mobile phones (a number increas-
ing at a rate of about 1 million per
month), about 4800 cases of brain
cancer would be expected each year
among those 80 million people,
whether or not they used their
phones. Thus it is not possible to tell
whether any individual's cancer
arose because of the phone, or
whether it would have happened
anyway. A key question is whether
the risk of getting a particular form
of cancer is greater among people
who use mobile phones than among
the rest of the population. One way
to answer that question is to com-
pare the usage of mobile phones
among people with brain cancer
with the use of mobile phones
among appropriately matched peo-
ple without brain cancer. This is
called a case-control study. The cur-
rent case-control study of brain can-
cers by the National Cancer Institute,
as well as the follow-up research to
be sponsored by industry, will begin
to generate this type of information.
What is FDA's role concerning the safety
of mobile phones?
Under the law, FDA does not review
the safety of radiation emitting con-
sumer products such as mobile
phones before marketing, as it does
with new drugs or medical devices.
However, the agency has authority
to take action if mobile phones are
shown to emit radiation at a level
that is hazardous to the user. In such
a case, FDA could require the manu-
facturers of mobile phones to notify
users of the health hazard and to re-
pair, replace or recall the phones so
that the hazard no longer exists.
Although the existing scientific data
do not justify FDA regulatory actions
at this time, FDA has urged the mo-
bile phone industry to take a number
of steps to assure public safety. The
agency has recommended that the
industry:
Support needed research into pos-
sible biological effects of RF of the
type emitted by mobile phones;
Design mobile phones in a way
that minimizes any RF exposure

to the user that is not necessary
for device function; and
Cooperate in providing mobile
phone users with the best possible
information on what is known
about possible effects of mobile
phone use on human health.
At the same time, FDA belongs to
an interagency working group of
the federal agencies that have re-
sponsibility for different aspects
of mobile phone safety to ensure
a coordinated effort at the federal
level. These agencies are:
National Institute for Occupation-
al Safety and Health
Environmental Protection Agency
Federal Communications Com-
mission
Occupational Health and Safety
Administration
National Telecommunications and
Information Administration
The National Institutes of Health also
participates in this group.
In the absence of conclusive information
about any possible risk, what can con-
cerned individuals do?
If there is a risk from these products –
and at this point we do not know that
there is – it is probably very small. But
if people are concerned about avoid-
ing even potential risks, there are sim-
ple steps they can take to do so. For
example, time is a key factor in how
much exposure a person receives.
Those persons who spend long peri-
ods of time on their hand-held mobile
phones could consider holding
lengthy conversations on convention-
al phones and reserving the hand-
held models for shorter conversations
or for situations when other types of
phones are not available.
People who must conduct extended
conversations in their cars every day
could switch to a type of mobile
phone that places more distance be-
tween their bodies and the source of
the RF, since the exposure level drops
off dramatically with distance. For ex-
ample, they could switch to:
a mobile phone in which the an-
tenna is located outside the vehi-
cle,
a hand-held phone with a built-in
antenna connected to a different
antenna mounted on the outside
of the car or built into a separate
package, or
a headset with a remote antenna
to a mobile phone carried at the
waist.

Ten Driving Safety
Tips
Your BenQ wireless phone gives you
the power to communicate by voice
– almost anywhere, anytime. But an
important responsibility accompa-
nies the benefits of wireless phones,
one that every user must uphold.
When driving a car, driving is your
first responsibility. When using your
wireless phone behind the wheel of
a car, practice good common sense
and remember the following tips:
Get to know your phone and its features
such as speed dial and redial.
Carefully read your instruction man-
ual and learn to take advantage of
valuable features most phones offer
including, automatic redial and
memory dial – most phones can
store up to 99 numbers in memory
dial. Also, work to memorize the
phone keypad so you can use the
speed dial function without taking
your attention off the road.
When available, use a hands-free device.
A number of hands-free wireless
phone accessories are readily avail-
able today. Whether you choose an
installed mounted device for your
phone or a speaker phone accessory,
take advantage of these devices if
they are available to you.
Position your phone within easy reach.
Make sure you place your wireless
phone within easy reach and where
you can grab it without removing
your eyes from the road. If you get
an incoming call at an inconvenient
time, let your voicemail answer it for
you.
Suspend conversations during hazard-
ous driving conditions or situations.
Let the person you are speaking to
know you are driving; if necessary,
suspend the call in heavy traffic or
hazardous weather conditions. Rain,
sleet, snow and ice can be hazard-
ous, but so is heavy traffic. As a driv-
er, your first responsibility is to pay
attention to the road.
Do not take notes or look up
phone numbers while driving.
If you are reading an address book or
business card while driving a car, or
writing a “to do” list, then you are not
watching where you are going. It’s
common sense. Don’t get caught in a
dangerous situation because you are
reading or writing and not paying at-
tention to the road or nearby
vehicles.
Dial sensibly and assess the traffic.
If possible, place calls when you are
not moving or before pulling into
traffic. Try to plan your calls before
Ten Driving Safety Tips162

you begin your trip, or attempt to co-
incide your calls with times you may
be stopped at a stop sign, red light or
otherwise stationary. But if you need
to dial while driving, follow this sim-
ple tip – dial only a few numbers,
check the road and your mirrors, then
continue.
Do not engage in stressful or emotional
conversations that may be distracting.
Stressful or emotional conversations
and driving do not mix – they are dis-
tracting and even dangerous when
you are behind the wheel. Make peo-
ple you are talking with aware you
are driving and if necessary, suspend
phone conversations that have the
potential to divert your attention
from the road.
Use your phone to call for help.
Your wireless phone is one of the
greatest tools you can own to pro-
tect yourself and your family in dan-
gerous situations with your phone
at your side, help is only three num-
bers away. Dial 9-1-1 in the case of
fire, traffic accident, road hazard, or
medical emergency. Remember, it is
a free call on your wireless phone.
Use your phone to help others in
emergencies.
Your wireless phone provides you a
perfect opportunity to be a “good Sa-
maritan” in your community. If you
see an auto accident, crime in
progress or other serious emergen-
cies where lives are in danger, call
9-1-1, as you would want others to
do for you.
Call roadside assistance or a special
wireless non-emergency assistance
number when necessary.
Certain situations you encounter
while driving may require attention,
but are not urgent enough to merit a
call to 9-1-1. But you can still use
your wireless phone to lend a hand.
If you see a broken-down vehicle
posing no serious hazard, a broken
traffic signal, a minor traffic accident
where no one appears injured, or a
vehicle you know to be stolen, call
roadside assistance or other special
non-emergency wireless numbers.

tions Industry Association (CTIA)
“The wireless industry reminds you to
use your phone safely when driving.”

and their respective affiliates own
the Software and all rights, including
without limitation including propri-
etary rights therein, are protected by
international treaty provisions and
other applicable national laws of the
country in which it is being used. The
structure, organization and code of
the Software are the valuable trade
secrets and confidential information.
5. Multiple copies/updates.
If the Software supports multiple
platforms or languages, if You re-
ceive the Software on multiple me-
dia, of if You otherwise receive mul-
tiple copies of the Software, the
number of phones on which all ver-
sions of the Software are installed
shall be one phone. If the Software is
an Update to a previous version of
the Software, You must possess a
valid end user right to such previous
version in order to use the Update
and You may use the previous ver-
sion for ninety (90) days after You
receive the Update in order to assist
You in the transition to the Update.
After such time You no longer have a
right to use the previous version, ex-
cept for the sole purpose of enabling
You to install the Update.
6. Commencement & termination.
This Agreement is effective from the
first date You use or install the Soft-
ware. Your end user rights automati-
cally and immediately terminate
without notice from Licensor if You

this Agreement. In such event, You
must immediately delete, destroy or
return at Your own cost and ex-
pense, and without entitlement to
any refund of the purchase price, the
phone and the Software, and all re-
lated material to Licensor.
7. Except as expressly provided
in the limited warranty for the

ware is provided "as is" without war-
ranty of any kind express or implied.
To the maximum extent permitted
by applicable law neither Licensor,
Licensor's Software suppliers or their
respective affiliates, nor the copy-
right holders make any representa-
tions or warranties, express or im-
plied, including but not limited to
the warranties of merchantability or
fitness for a particular purpose or
that the Software will not infringe
any third party patents, copyrights,
trademarks or other rights. There is
no warranty by Licensor or by any
other party that the functions con-
tained in the Software will meet your

8. Not fault tolerant.
The Software may contain technoloy
that is not fault tolerant and is not
designed, manufactured, or intend-
ed for use in environments or appli-
cations in which the failure of the li-
censed Software could lead direclty
to death, personal injury, or severe
physical or environmental damage
or financial loss.
9. Limitation of liability.
To the maximum extent permitted
by applicable law, in no event shall
Licensor or Licensor's Software sup-
pliers or their respecitve affiliates
and employees be liable for any lost
profits, revenue, sales, data or costs
of procurement of substitute goods
or services, property damage, per-
sonal injury, interruption of busi-
ness, loss of business information or
for any special, direct, indirect, inci-
dental, economic, cover, punitive,
special or consequential damages,
however caused and whether arising
under contract, tort, negligence, or
other theory of liability arising out of
the use of or inability to use the Soft-
ware, even if Licensor or its Software
suppliers are advised of the possibili-
ty of such damages. Because some
countries/states/jurisdictions do not
allow the exclusion or limitation of li-
ability, but may allow liability to be
limited, in such cases, the liability of
Licensor, its Software suppliers and
their respective affiliates and em-
ployees shall be limited to, at Licen-
sor's option, either (a) return of the
price paid less a reasonable amount
for usage, or (b) repair or replacment
of the Software that does not meet
the limited warranty provided with
the phone and which is returned in
accordance with the requirements of
the limited warranty.
Nothing contained in this Agree-
ment shall prejudice the statutory
rights of any party dealing as a con-
sumer. Nothing contained in this
Agreement limits Licensor's liability
to You in the event of death or per-
sonal injury resulting from Licensor's
negligence if law prohibits such a
limitation. Licensor is acting on be-
half of its software suppliers and
their respective employees and affili-
ates for the purpose of disclaiming,
excluding and/or restricting obliga-
tions, warranties and liability as pro-
vided in this clause 9, but in no other
respects and for no other purpose.

agreed in writing between You and

vided with the phone.

port regulations of the United States
and other countries. You agree that
You shall comply with all applicable
export laws, restrictions and regula-
tions of the United States or foreign
agencies or authorities, and shall not
export, or transfer for the purpose of
re-export, any Software, product or
technical data received under this
Agreement or any Software or prod-
uct produced by use of such techni-
cal data, including processes and
services, in violation of any applica-
ble restrictions, laws or regulations,
or without all necessary approvals.
12. Applicable law & general provisions.
This Agreement shall be governed by
and construed in accordance with
the laws of the State of California
without regard to its conflicts of laws
rules. This is the entire agreement
between Licensor and You relating
to the Software and it supersedes
any prior representations, discus-
sions, undertakings, end user agree-
ments, communications or advertis-
ing relating to the Software.
