SAFETY AND
PRECAUTIONS
GPS
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is op-
erated by the government of the United
States, which is solely responsible for its ac-
curacy and maintenance. The system is sub-
ject to changes that could affect the
accuracy and performance of all GPS equip-
ment.
Any navigation instrument can be misused
or misinterpreted, and therefore become
unsafe. To reduce the risk, carefully review
this Owner´s Manual and, when navigating
compare the indications from this product
to all available navigation sources including
the information from other navigation in-
struments, visual sightings, maps, charts,
etc.
TELEMATICS PROTOCOL
MPTP (Mobile Phone Telematic Protocol)
allows, among other things, tracking of the
phone over the SMS communication.
Automatically sent telematics messages are
only allowed to authorised numbers listed
in the phone. Such numbers can be, e.g.
emergency and service center numbers.
Position of the phone is retrieved by the
GPS, or by the network parameters (the lat-
ter is a network-dependent service). The
carrier for telematics messages is an SMS-
message. Deliveries of all messages is fully
handled by and in the responsibility of the
GSM network operator and services can
vary substantially.
The charge of a protocol message is deter-
mined on the contract by the service pro-
vider.
184 SAFETY AND PRECAUTIONS
EMERGENCY CALLS
The phone is an aid and should never be re-
lied upon as an only emergency device. Its
functionality is dependent on GSM network
and GPS satellites which may not be avail-
able all the time.
To make emergency calls, the phone must
be turned on and located in an area with ad-
equate GSM network signal strength. Some
networks also require that a valid SIM card
is inserted in the phone.
Emergency calls may not be possible on all
GSM phone networks or when certain net-
work services or phone features are in use.
In unclear cases, consult your network op-
erator.
GENERAL
The phone may cause TV or radio interfer-
ence if used in close proximity to receiving
equipment. The FCC can require you to
stop using the phone if such interference
cannot be eliminated.
Vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas
(such as propane or butane) must comply
with the National Fire Protection Standard
(NFPA-58). For a copy of this standard, con-
tact the National Fire Protection Associa-
tion, One Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA
02269, Attn: Publication Sales Division.
Normal operation
•Hold the phone as you would hold any
other phone, with the antenna pointed
up and over your shoulder. Do not touch
the antenna unnecessarily when the
phone is in use, because it affects call
quality and may cause the phone to oper-
ate at a higher power level than needed.
SAFETY AND PRECAUTIONS 185
Power supply
•This equipment is intended for use with
the following power supplies: batteries
BBL77N and BBL77P, mains charger CMA-
70-230 (with cable FMC-70), and cigarette
lighter charger CCS-71-12. Any other
usage will invalidate any approval given
to this apparatus and may be dangerous.
•Only use approved batteries, antennas
and chargers. The use of any unautho-
rized accessories, modifications or attach-
ments may be dangerous and voids the
phone warranty if said accessories cause
damage or a defect to the phone.
•Make sure, the batteries and spare batter-
ies are kept away from conductive materi-
als, such as coins, jewelry, keys, and other
metal objects, because close contact of
these materials and batteries can cause
short-circuit, injury, burns or some other
damage. Be especially careful when plac-
ing batteries inside your pocket, purse, or
other container with metal objects.
•When you disconnect the power cord of
any accessory, grasp and pull the plug,
not the cord.
Other accessories
•Any other accessories used should also be
approved by the phone manufacturer.
Check the compatibility of new power
supply units and other accessories at the
dealer.
•Only qualified personnel should install or
service the phone or its accessories.
Faulty installation or service may be dan-
gerous and may invalidate any warranty
which may apply to the unit.
Magnetic cards
•The mobile phone contains small mag-
netic components. Even though the mag-
netic fields of the components are weak,
they might damage magnetic cards, such
as bank and credit cards. We recommend
that you would keep your mobile phone
away from magnetic cards.
186 SAFETY AND PRECAUTIONS
Computers
•Remember that using the phone close to
a computer may cause interference. When
using your phone near such equipment
keep a distance of about one meter.
Body parts
•When the phone is in operation do not
touch the antenna with eyes, mouth or
bare skin to guarantee proper function.
Children
•Keep the phone and its accessories away
from small children to avoid causing
injury to themselves or others. Damage to
the phone or its accessories is also thus
avoided.
Posted facilities
•Turn off your phone in any facility where
posted notices so require.
•Also follow the country-specific regula-
tions applicable to where you are using
the phone.
Potentially explosive
atmospheres
•Turn off the phone at refuelling points,
e.g. gas stations. Also observe restrictions
on the use of radio equipment in fuel
depots, chemical plants or where blasting
operations are in progress because
remote control RF devices can cause an
explosion or fire.
•Do not store or carry flammable liquids,
gases or explosive materials in the same
compartment as the phone, its parts or
accessories.
SAFETY AND PRECAUTIONS 187
Hospitals
•Turn your phone off before entering hos-
pitals or other health care facilities where
medical electronic equipment may be in
use. Such devices can be extremely sensi-
tive to radio frequency interference. Only
use the phone with permission and under
the instruction of hospital staff.
Hearing aids and other
medical devices
•Remember that any personal medical
devices (such as hearing aids or pacemak-
ers) may be affected by RF energy if they
are not adequately shielded. Consult the
manufacturer or vendor of the equipment
to determine the proper shielding.
Persons with pacemakers
•Contact your cardiologist and make sure,
the pacemaker you wear is adequately
shielded against RF energy.
•Always keep the phone more than six
inches (6 ") from the pacemaker when the
phone is turned on.
•Never carry the phone in a breast pocket.
•Use the ear opposite the pacemaker to
minimize the potential interference.
•Turn the phone off immediately if you
have a reason to suspect that interference
is taking place.
188 SAFETY AND PRECAUTIONS
Aircrafts
•Turn your phone off before boarding any
aircraft and do not use the phone while
in the air, also make sure that an auto-
matic timer function will not activate
the phone during the flight. Besides
being illegal, the use of a mobile phone
in an aircraft may endanger the operation
of the aircraft or disrupt the mobile net-
work. Failure to comply with this instruc-
tion may lead to suspension or denial of
mobile phone services, and possibly even
legal action.
Road traffic and driving
•There are reasons to be concerned about
traffic safety when using a mobile phone
while driving a motor vehicle. While the
actual risk varies greatly according to the
conditions and driver, it is advisable to
strictly adhere to all eventual interna-
tional and national legislation and also
honour other eventual safety recommen-
dations.
•It is advisable to install and use a hands-
free operating system in a car for mini-
mizing the distraction from using the
phone. Make sure, the phone is secured
in its holder, do not place the phone on
the passenger seat or some other place
where it can break loose in a collision or
a sudden stop.
•When receiving a call in an awkward driv-
ing situation, you must always put safety
before other priorities and courtesy: Pull
off the road and park before making or
answering a call if driving conditions so
require. Do not use the phone at all while
driving if it is against national legislation
or makes you feel uncomfortable.
•The use of the alert device to operate a
vehicle´s lights or horn on public roads is
not permitted.
SAFETY AND PRECAUTIONS 189
Vehicles with air bags
•An air bag inflates with great force. Do
not place objects, including either
installed or portable wireless equipment,
in the area over the air bag or in the air
bag deployment area.
Electronic systems in
vehicles
and other electronic devices
•Using the phone may cause interference
with a vehicle's electronic systems, e.g.
electronic anti-skid braking systems, elec-
tronic cruise control systems, air bags etc.
if the equipment is not adequately
shielded.
•Using the phone near any electronic
devices (such as a car stereo, tv set, alarm
system and so on) may cause interference
if the electronic devices are not ade-
quately shielded. Consult the manufac-
turer or the seller to determine the
proper shielding.
RADIO FREQUENCY (RF)
ENERGY
This equipment has been tested and found
to comply with the limits for a Class B digi-
tal device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC
Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful in-
terference in a residential installation.
This equipment generates, uses and can ra-
diate radio frequency energy and, if not in-
stalled and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interfer-
ence to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that inter-
ference will not occur in a particular instal-
lation. If this equipment does cause
harmful interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by
turning the equipment off and on, the user
is encouraged to try to correct the interfer-
ence by one or more of the following mea-
sures:
190 SAFETY AND PRECAUTIONS
•Reorient or relocate the receiving
antenna.
•Increase the separation between the
equipment and receiver.
•Connect the equipment into outlet on a
circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected.
•Consult the dealer or an experienced
radio/TV technician for help.
Any changes or modifications to your
phone not expressly approved in this docu-
ment could void your warranty for this
equipment and void your authority to oper-
ate this equipment.
FCC RADIO FREQUENCY
EMISSION
This phone meets the FCC Radio Frequency
Emission Guidelines. FCC ID number:
QFPTGP79AE. More information on the
phone’s SAR can be found from the follow-
ing FCC website:
http:/www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid.
SPECIFIC ABSORPTION
RATE (SAR)
FOR WIRELESS PHONES
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
1.6W/kg. This SAR is value that corresponds
to the relative amount of RF energy absort-
ed in the head of a user of a wireless hand-
set.
The SAR value of a phone is the result of an
extensive testing, measuring and calcula-
tion process. Tests for SAR are conducted
using standard operating positions accept-
ed by the FCC with the phone transmitting
at its highest certified power level in all test-
ed frequency bands. Although the SAR is de-
termined at the highest certified power
level, the actual SAR level of the phone
while operating can be well below the max-
imum value. This is because the phone is
designed to operate at multiple power lev-
els so as to use only the power required to
SAFETY AND PRECAUTIONS 191
reach the network. In general, the closer
you are to a wireless base station antenna,
the lower the power output. While there
may be differences between the SAR levels
of various phones and at various positions,
they all meet the government requirment.
All phones must meet the federal standard,
which incorporates a substantial margin of
safety. As stated above, variations in SAR
values between different model phones do
not mean variations in safety.
BODY-WORN OPERATION
For body worn operation, this phone has
been tested and meets the FCC RF exposure
guidelines when used with the Benefon ac-
cessories supplied or designated for this
