2.  GETTING STARTED   Refer to this section to learn more about setting up the PWG-500 before you start using it.  Inserting the SIM cards and battery  The PWG-500 supports dual SIM cards and the slots are placed underneath the battery. One of the SIM cards is used for activating and authenticating your GSM account. The other SIM card can be used for Wi-Fi authentication if required.  When you subscribe to a service provider, you are given a SIM card. This card stores your phone number and entitles you to additional services included with your subscription. Your personal address book is also stored on the SIM card. The SIM card lock protects your sub- scription from unauthorized use.  Most SIM cards are locked at the time of purchase. If the SIM card lock is on, you have to enter a PIN (Personal Identity Number) each time you turn on the PWG-500. If you enter the PIN incorrectly three times in succession, the SIM card is blocked. To unblock the SIM card, you must enter the PUK (Personal Unblocking Key). The net- work service provider supplies the PIN and the PUK details.  Note: The SIM card lock only protects the subscription and does not protect the PWG-500 from unauthorized use.  The PWG-500 is equipped with a rechargeable Li-ion battery that can be charged using the supplied battery charger.      18   ---   Inserting the SIM cards and battery

3.  MAKING CALLS   Now that you are familiar with the PWG-500, you are ready to start making calls and take full benefits of its calling features.  Making a call  The PWG-500 supports GSM as well as VoIP calls. It can use a GSM network to make/receive calls and can also make use of other services offered by the network. The SIM card provides authentication over the GSM net- work. Alternatively, in VoIP mode, the PWG-500 offers voice connectivity to users over the Internet with the help of a VoIP server.  Selecting the call type  Do one of the following to specify the type of the phone call you wish to make: •   Press the VoIP/GSM key to switch between VoIP, GSM, or Auto mode. •   Press Menu/Select to view the menu and then scroll to Settings, General, Out Going Call. Choose an option from GSM, VoIP, or Auto.  If you select the Auto option, the PWG-500 first searches for a Wi-Fi hotspot in the vicinity to enable a VoIP call. If Wi-Fi is not available, a GSM network is used to make an outgoing call.              Making a call   ---   25

RF exposure regulation (SAR)  This model phone meets the government’s requirements for exposure to radio waves. This phone is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for expo- sure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission of the U.S. Government.  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.  Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions accepted by the FCC with the phone transmit- ting at its highest certified power level in all tested fre- quency 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.The highest SAR value for the model phone as reported to the FCC when tested for use at the ear is 0.091 W/kg and when worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is 0.218 W/ kg.(Body-worn measurements differ among phone mod- els, depending upon available enhancements and FCC requirements.)  While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones and at various positions, they all meet the government requirement.        76   ---   RF exposure regulation (SAR)
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 tap://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching on FCC ID: SNFG10.  For body worn operation, this phone has been tested and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines for use with an accessory that contains no metal and positions the handset a minimum of 1.5 cm from the body. Use of other enhancements may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines. If you do not use a body- worn accessory and are not holding the phone at the ear, position the handset a minimum of 1.5 cm from your body when the phone is switched on.
