Safety precautions
Information for parents
Please read the operating instructions and safety precautions carefully before use.
Explain the content to your children and the hazards associated with using the phone.
Remember to comply with
legal requirements and local
restrictions when using the
phone. For example, in
aeroplanes, petrol stations,
hospitals or while driving.
Mobile phones can interfere
with the functioning of medical
devices such as hearing aids
or pacemakers. Keep at least
20cm/9 inches between phone
and pacemaker. When using
the mobile phone hold it to the
ear which is furthest away from
the pacemaker. For more
information consult your
doctor.
Always keep the phone and
accessories out of reach of
small children.
Small parts such as the SIM
card, dust cap, lens ring and
lens cap as well as the Micro SD
Card can be dismantled and
swallowed by small children.
Do not place the phone near to
electromagnetic data carriers
such as credit cards and floppy
disks. Information stored on
them could be lost.
Do not look directly into the
LED (e.g. activated infrared
port, flash LED) with optical
magnifiers because of
radiation.
This product complies with
IEC/EN 60825-1 “Safety of
Laser Products” for LED Class
1M products; such products
are safe under reasonably
foreseeable operating
conditions.
Permanent hearing loss may
occur if you use ear- or
headphones at high
volume.You can adapt over
time to a higher volume, which
may sound normal but can be
damaging to your hearing. Set
your volume to a safe level. If
you experience discomfort or
buzzing in your ears, reduce
the volume or discontinue use
of your ear- or headphones.

Template: Minion, 140x105 mm, Version 1.5; VAR Language: unknown; VAR issue date: 12-March-2003
Ringtones, info tones and
handsfree talking are
reproduced 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.
The mains voltage (V)
specified on the power supply
unit must not be exceeded.
Otherwise the charging device
may be damaged.
The power supply must be
plugged into an easily
accessible AC mains power
socket when charging the
battery. The only way to turn
off the charging device after
charging the battery is to
unplug it.
You may only open the phone
to replace the battery, SIM and
Micro SD Card. You must not
open the battery under any
circumstances. All other
changes to this device are
strictly prohibited and will
invalidate the guarantee.
The phone may cause
interference 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.
• Only use original batteries
and charging devices.
Otherwise you risk serious
damage to health and
property. The battery could
explode, for instance.
• All batteries can cause
property damage, injury or
burns if a conductive
material such as jewelry, keys
or beaded chains touch
exposed terminals. The
material may complete an
electrical circuit and become
quite hot. Exercise care in
handling any charged
battery, particularly when
placing it inside your pocket,
purse or other container with
metal objects. Your batteries
are supplied with a protective
cover. Please attach this
cover to your batteries when
detached from the phone and
not in use.
• Do not dispose of batteries in
fire as they may explode.
Dispose of unwanted batteries
and phones as permitted by the
laws in your countries.
Improper use will invalidate the
guarantee! These safety instructions also
apply to original accessories.

Bluetooth®
Your phone has a Bluetooth interface. This
makes it possible to establish a wireless
connection with your phone and a headset,
a car kit or other Bluetooth-enabled
devices.
In order to establish a secure link between
the devices and to prevent a third party
from having access to your phone, you
should observe the following points:
• The initial connection between two
devices, what is called "pairing", should
take place in familiar surroundings.
• Both devices must be able to identify
themselves one time by using a
password/PIN. To ensure sufficient
security, you should choose a 16-digit
number combination for a password that
would be difficult to guess (if a PIN has
not been assigned).
• An automatic connection acceptance
("connection without confirmation")
should only be used in exceptional cases.
• In general, only trustworthy devices
should be linked in order to minimise
security risks.
• You should restrict the "visibility" of your
phone if possible. This will make it much
more difficult for unknown devices to
establish a connection with your phone.
To do this, in the Bluetooth menu, set the
option Bluetooth visibility from On to Off
(page 79).
• The name of your phone is transmitted in
a Bluetooth connection. The factory
default is the "Bluetooth ID". The first
time Bluetooth is activated, or later in the
Bluetooth menu, you can change this
name (Bluetooth name, page 79).
• If Bluetooth is not needed, this function
should be deactivated.
• Before using Bluetooth accessories, or a
mobile phone inside a vehicle, check the
vehicle user guide for any limitations on
the use of these products.
As mobile devices offer a range of
functions, they can be used in positions
other than the head, such as on the body.
In this case, separation distance of 1.5 cm
is required.

If you encounter problems while using the phone, or if it performs erratically, you can
consult the information in the chart below. If your particular problem cannot be resolved
using the information in the chart, contact the dealer where you purchased the phone.
Problem Possible causes Possible solution
Poor reception The network signal is too weak
at your current location, for
example, in a basement or near
a tall building, because wireless
transmissions can not
effectively reach it.
Move to a location where the network signal can be
properly received.
The network is busy at the
current time (for example,

Shortened standby
time
The standby time is related to
your service provider system
configuration. The same phone
used with different service
providers’ systems will not
provide exactly the same length
of standby time.
If you are located in an area where signalling is
weak, temporarily switch off the phone.
The battery is depleted. In high-
temperature environments,
battery life will be shortened.
Use a new battery.
If you are not able to connect to
the network, the phone will
continue to send out signals as it
attempts to locate a base station.
Doing so consumes battery
power and will consequently
shorten standby time.
Change your location to one where the network is
accessible, or temporarily turn off your phone.
You cannot switch
your phone on.
Battery power has been
depleted.
Recharge the phone's battery.
SIM card error SIM card malfunction or
damage.
Take the SIM card to your service provider for
testing.
SIM card inserted improperly. Insert the SIM card properly.
Debris on the SIM card
contacts.
Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the SIM card contacts.
Unable to connect to
the network.
SIM card invalid. Contact your service provider.
You are not within the
network's service area.
Check the service area with your service provider.

Care and maintenance
Your phone has been designed and
manufactured to the highest of standards
and should be treated with great care. The
suggestions below will help you to enjoy
your phone for many years.
• Protect your phone from moisture and
humidity. Precipitation, humidity and
liquids contain minerals that will corrode
electronic circuits. Should your phone
become wet, disconnect it immediately
from the power supply to avoid electric
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
environments (e.g. vehicle instrument
panel in the summer). High temperatures
can shorten the life of electronic devices,
damage batteries and warp or melt
certain plastics.
• Do not store your phone in cold
environments. When the phone warms
up again (to its normal ambient
temperature), moisture can form inside
the phone, which may damage electronic
circuit boards.
• Do not drop, knock or shake your phone.
Rough handling can damage internal
circuit boards.
• Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning
solvents, or strong detergents to clean the
phone.
• The phone has better protection against
splashes, dust and knocks if the supplied
seals are used.
The suggestions given above apply equally
to your phone, battery, charger and all
accessories. 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
designed 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 statement
For technological reasons, a few small dots
with different colours may appear in the
display in exceptional cases.
Just remember that the appearance of
brighter or darker dots generally does not
mean that a fault has occurred.

SAR
European Union (R&TTE) and
international (ICNIRP)
INFORMATION ON RF EXPOSURE /
SPECIFIC ABSORPTION RATE (SAR)
THIS MODEL MEETS INTERNATIONAL
GUIDELINES FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO
WAVES
Your mobile device is a radio transmitter
and receiver. It is designed not to exceed the
limits for exposure to radio waves
recommended by international guidelines.
These guidelines were developed by the
independent scientific organization
ICNIRP and include safety margins
designed to assure the protection of all
persons, regardless of age and health.
The guidelines use a unit of measurement
known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or
SAR. The SAR limit for mobile devices is
2 W/kg and was adopted into the European
Standard EN 50360 and into other national
standards. The CE mark demonstrates that
the EU requirements are met.
The highest SAR value for this device when
tested at the ear was 1.13 W/kg1. As
mobile devices offer a range of functions,
they can be used in positions other than the
head, such as on the body. In this case, a
separation distance of 1.5 cm is required.
As SAR is measured utilizing the device's
highest transmitting power, the actual SAR
of this device while operating is typically
below that indicated above. This is due to
automatic changes to the power level of the
device to ensure it only uses the minimum
level required to reach the network.
The World Health Organization has stated
that present scientific information does not
indicate the need for any special
precautions for the use of mobile devices.
They note that if you nevertheless want to
reduce your exposure then you can do so by
limiting the length of calls or using a
'hands-free' device to keep the mobile
phone away from the head and body.
Additional Information can be found on the
websites of the World Health Organization
(www.who.int/emf) or BenQ Mobile
(www.BenQMobile.com).
Maximum SAR measurement for
FCC requirements
Head: 0.477 W/kg (1g)
Body: 0.116 W/kg (1g)
1 The tests are carried out in accordance with
international guidelines for testing.
