Using a paper clip, gently touch the circular, copper node located on the right side of the circuit board. The phone will immediately turn-off. To turn back-on, ignite Firefly as normal. FIREFLY’S PASSWORD SYSTEM We have created a software system in our phone that allows parents quick and easy access to Firefly’s control menus. It is important that the Calling Keys, the incoming Call List, and other control features are flexible and can be rapidly and easily changed by an adult. Firefly’s system enables parents full-access to Firefly’s Control menus while denying children access to these Parent-Only Access menus. However, the system allows children to customize their Firefly through the All-Access menu section.
FCC ID: R7C-F100 - DRAFT - How Firefly’s Password System Works After Firefly is turned-on, it remains in idle mode. 1. To access the control menus, press (*) and hold it down for 3 seconds. 2. Next, you are prompted to “Enter a PIN” or forgo these Parent-Only control menus by choosing the Skip soft key. Skip to All-Access Control Menus If you press the Skip soft key, you are immediately advanced to the All-Access control menus (which begins with the “Set Ring” control menu). After the user has pressed the Skip key All-Access is granted to the remaining control menus and one can go on to set ring tones for each calling key, set Firefly’s corresponding Calling Key and screen LCD colors, the phone’s clock, and the ring volume. The Control Menu Cycle: Access Denied, Access Granted A four-digit Parent-Only Access PIN must be properly punched into the phone in order to access the control menus which program Firefly’s calling keys, permitted incoming-call lists, and to change Firefly’s access PIN. Children are only denied access to the Parent-Only Access sections of the control menus—all the other control features are at your children’s disposal. Thus, when an incorrect PIN is entered, “Wrong PIN” immediately appears in the display screen. The user is immediately cycled back to the “Enter PIN” control menu. Entering Password Depressing (*) for three seconds allows you to access Firefly’s control menus. The first screen of the control menu choices is the “Enter PIN?” prompt. The PIN code is four characters. You can choose from numbers 0-9 and symbols #, *, - for each character of your password. 1. To enter the PIN press the Enter soft key 2. Use the Directional soft keys to move cursor through the number and symbol choices.
FCC ID: R7C-F100 - DRAFT - 3. Press the Ok soft key to select each character. • As you select your password characters, the (*) symbol will appear on the top line of the display for each character selected. 4. After selecting the fourth character, you are automatically advanced to another display screen. To accept the PIN you selected, press the Done soft key. • If you would like to edit the PIN you selected, press the Del soft key. After you press the Del soft key, you automatically return to the previous display, enabling you to “enter” another fourth character or further edit your PIN. 5. If the correct PIN is entered, “Saved” briefly appears in the display and you are immediately forwarded to the “Change PIN” control menu. • If the wrong password is entered, “Wrong PIN” appears in the display and Firefly automatically returns you to the “Enter PIN” prompt. Change PIN This control menu allows parents to change their Parent-Only Access password. Authorized Firefly regulators are automatically forwarded to the “Change PIN” control menu after entering the correct PIN code. • To advance to other control menus press NO soft key 1. To enter the “Change PIN” control menu press the Yes soft key. 2. Scroll the cursor through the list of numbers and symbols. Use the OK soft key to select the new 4-character PIN code. 3. After selecting the fourth character, you are automatically advanced to another display screen. To accept the new PIN you selected, press the Done soft key. 4. Pressing the Done soft key locks your Firefly’s new PIN code. “Saved” will briefly appear in the display and the changes are saved. FIREFLY CONTROL MENUS

Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by Firefly Mobile Inc. will void the user's authority to operate the equipment. Use only Firefly approved chargers. Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. 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 interference by one or more of the following measures: --Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. --Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. --Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. --Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. THIS PHONE MODEL HAS BEEN CERTIFIED TO BE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE GOVERNMENT’S REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES. Before a phone model is available to sale to the public, it must be tested and certified that it does not exceed government limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy. Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) is a value that corresponds to the relative amount of RF energy absorbed by the user of a wireless phone. The Federal Communications Commission of the United States government sets SAR limits. The limits include a safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health. The maximum allowed SAR value set by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg. Tests for SAR
FCC ID: R7C-F100 - DRAFT - values are conducted using FCC approved operating positions at the highest possible power levels. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the phone while operating is likely well below the maximum value. The highest SAR values as reported to the FCC for this model phone are in full compliance with FCC limits. This SAR compliance is limited to the specific accessories shipped with this phone. For body worn operation this device was tested with 0cm separation to the body. Third party belt-clips, holsters, and similar accessories containing metallic components should not be used. For more information about RF exposure, visit the FCC website at www.fcc.gov.
