Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use 5
Since its introduction in the mid 1980s the mobile 
phone is one of the most exciting and innovative 
products ever developed. Your phone can help you to 
stay in touch with your office, your home, emergency 
services, and others.
Safety
Exposure to Radio Frequency Energy
Your wireless handheld portable telephone is a low 
power radio transmitter and receiver.  When it is ON, 
it receives and also sends out radio frequency (RF) 
signals.
In August, 1996, the Federal Communications Com-
mission (FCC) adopted RF exposure guidelines with 
safety levels for handheld wireless phones.  Those 
guidelines are consistent with the safety standards pre-
viously set by both US and international standards 
bodies:
•ANSI C95.1 (1992)*
•NCRP Report 86 (1986)*
•ICNIRP (1996)*
Those standards were based on comprehensive and 
periodic evaluations of the relevant scientific litera-
ture.  For example, over 120 scientists, engineers, and 
physicians from universities, government health agen-
cies, and industry reviewed the available body of 
research to develop the ANSI Standards (C95.1).
The design of your phone complies with the FCC 
guidelines (and those standards).
* American National Standards Institute: National 
Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements; 
International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation 
Protection.
Posted Facilities
Turn your phone OFF in any facility where posted 
notices so require.
Aircraft
FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while in 
the air. Switch OFF your phone before boarding an 
aircraft.
Electronic Devices
Most modern electronic equipment, for example 
equipment in hospitals and cars, is shielded from RF 
energy. However, certain electronic equipment may 
not be shielded against RF signals from your wireless 
phone.
Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use
6Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use
Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association rec-
ommends that a minimum separation of six (6”) 
inches be maintained between a handheld wireless 
phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference 
with the pacemaker.  These recommendations are con-
sistent with the independent research by and recom-
mendations 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 pockets (including 
overcoat pockets) within 6” of the pacemaker 
device.
•Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to 
minimize the potential for interference.
If you have any reason to suspect that interference is 
taking place, turn your phone OFF immediately.
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 call the 
customer service line to discuss alternatives).
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical device, consult 
the manufacturer of your device to determine if it is 
adequately shielded from external RF energy.  Your 
physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this 
information.
Turn your phone OFF in health care facilities when 
any regulations posted 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.
Children
Do not allow children to play with your phone. They 
could hurt themselves or others, or could accidentally 
damage the phone.  Your phone contains small parts 
that could be detached and create a choking hazard.
Blasting Areas
To avoid interfering with blasting operation, turn your 
phone OFF when in a “blasting area” or in areas 
posted: “Turn off two-way radio.” Obey all signs and 
instructions.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Turn your phone OFF when in any area with a poten-
tially 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 atmosphere are 
often, but not always, clearly marked.  They include 
fuelling areas such as gasoline stations; below deck on 
boats; fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities; 

.
Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use 7
vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as pro-
pane or butane); areas where the air contains chemi-
cals or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders; 
and any other area where you would normally be 
advised to turn off your vehicle engine.
Driving
Check the laws and regulations on the use of wireless 
telephones in the areas where you drive. Always obey 
them. Also, if using your phone while driving, please:
•Get to know your wireless phone and its features 
such as speed dial and redial.
•When available, use a handsfree 
device.
•Position your wireless phone 
within easy reach.
•Suspend conversations during 
hazardous driving conditions or 
situations.
•Do not take notes or look up phone numbers 
while driving.
•Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, 
place calls when you are not moving or before 
pulling into traffic.
•Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversa-
tions that may be distracting.
•Use your wireless phone to call for help.
•Use you wireless phone to help others in emer-
gencies.
•Call roadside assistance or a special wireless non-
emergency assistance number when necessary.
•Give full attention to driving.
•Pull off the road and park before making or 
answering a call if driving conditions so require.
Vehicles
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inade-
quately shielded electronic systems in motor vehicles. 
Check with the manufacturer or its representative 
regarding your vehicle. You should also consult the 
manufacturer of any equipment that has been added to 
your vehicle.
For Vehicles Equipped with an Air Bag
An air bag inflates with great force.  DO NOT place 
objects, including both installed or portable wireless 
equipment, in the area over the airbag or in the air bag 
deployment area.  If in-vehicle wireless equipment is 
improperly installed and the air bag inflates, serious 
injury could result.
Phone Care and Operation
•Do not expose your mobile phone to moisture or 
extreme temperatures.

8Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use
•Do not use any other accessories but Ericsson 
originals. Failure to do so may result in loss of 
performance, fire, electric shock or injury, and 
will void the warranty.
•Do not attempt to disassemble the phone. Doing 
so will void warranty. This phone does not con-
tain consumer serviceable components. Service 
should only be performed by Authorized Service 
Centers.
•Do not allow objects to fall on, or liquids to spill 
on your phone or accessories.
•Connect AC (power supply) only to designated 
power sources as marked on the phone.
•To reduce risk of damage, remove the electrical 
cord from the outlet by pulling the AC adapter 
rather than the cord.
•Make sure the electric cord is located where it 
will not be stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise 
subjected to damage or stress.
•To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug the unit 
from the power source before attempting any 
cleaning.  Once unplugged, use a soft cloth lightly 
dampened with water for cleaning.
•DANGER - Never alter the AC cord or plug. If 
the plug will not fit into the outlet, have a proper 
outlet installed by a qualified electrician.  
Improper connection can result in risk of electric 
shock.
•Use only the supplied or an approved replace-
ment antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifica-
tions, or attachments could damage the phone and 
may violate FCC regulations.
•Don’t  continue to twist the antenna after it has 
been inserted. Excess twisting will damage the 
antenna.
•Be cautious if removing your antenna. A 
detached antenna may be a choking hazard for 
children.
How to use your phone for optimum performance with 
minimum power consumption:
•Hold the phone as you would any other tele-
phone. While speaking directly into the mouth-
piece, angle the antenna in a direction up and over 
your shoulder. If the antenna is extendable/
retractable, it should be extended during a call. 
• Do not hold the antenna when the phone is in use. 
Holding the antenna affects call quality, may 
cause the phone to operate at a higher power level 
than needed and shortens talk and standby times.
Battery Information
New Batteries
The battery packaged with your phone is not fully 
charged.   For maximum battery capacity, use your 
charger to condition the battery. 
.
Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use 9
Recycling Your Battery
Your phone manufacturer is a member of the 
Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation (RBRC), 
a non-profit service organization designed to assist in 
the recycling of rechargeable batteries. Many areas 
require the recycling of rechargeable batteries. In the 
U.S., call 1-800-822-8837 to find out how to recycle 
your battery. Outside the U.S., contact your local 
retailer for recycling instructions.
Battery Use and Care
A rechargeable battery has a long service life if treated 
properly. A new battery, or one that has not been used 
for a long period of time, should be conditioned before 
using your phone.   Avoid recharging a fully-charged 
or almost fully-charged battery. If your phone shuts 
off due to low battery power, you should charge the 
battery within 24 hours for the battery to reach full 
capacity.
•Do not leave your battery where it may be sub-
jected to extremely hot or cold temperatures. This 
could reduce the battery’s capacity.
•Do not let the metal contacts on the battery touch 
another metal object such as keys in your pocket. 
This could short-circuit and damage the battery.
•Do not attempt to take a battery apart.
•Do not expose a battery to open flame. This could 
cause the battery to explode.
•Turn your phone OFF before removing the bat-
tery.
•Use only the AC/DC adapter supplied with your 
battery charger. Using a different adapter could be 
dangerous and will void your phone warranty.
•Never charge a battery when the ambient room 
temperature is below 50° F (10°C) or above 
105°F (40°C).
•Do not allow the battery to be placed into the 
mouth. Battery electrolytes may be toxic if swal-
lowed.

T18z Components
Assembly
You need to do the following to use your phone:
1  Insert the SIM card
2  Attach the battery to the phone
3  Charge the battery
The SIM Card
When you register as a subscriber with a net-
work operator, you get a Subscriber Identity Module 
(SIM) card. The SIM card contains a computer chip 
that keeps track of your phone number, the services 
included in your subscription, and your Phone Book 
information.
SIM cards come in two sizes. One is the size of a credit 
card, and the other is smaller. Your phone uses the 
smaller card. Many credit card-sized SIM cards have a 
perforated smaller card that you can take out easily. 
Before you can use your phone, you must insert the SIM 
card as shown below.

Inserting the SIM Card
Removing the SIM Card
The Battery
Your phone comes with a nickel metal hydride (NiMH) 
battery. The battery is not charged when you buy your 
phone, but there may be enough power to turn the 
phone on. We recommend that you charge the battery 
before you use the phone for the first time.
Attaching the Battery to your Phone
Place the battery on the back of the phone and push 
until you hear a click.
When to Charge the Battery
The nickel metal hydride battery that comes with your 
phone can be charged whenever you wish without affect-
ing its performance. This is not the case with nickel cad-
mium type batteries, often sold as accessories by other

suppliers. For the best talk and standby time,we recom-
mend that you use only Ericsson original batteries with 
your phone.
To remind you that you will soon need to charge the 
battery or replace it with a charged one:
•an alarm signal (a long beep) sounds and the mes-
sage  appears for two seconds in the 
display. The signal is repeated several times.
•the indicator light on top of the phone starts flash-
ing red.
Note! The phone turns itself off when the battery can no 
longer power it satisfactorily.
Charging the Battery
1  Make sure that the battery is attached to the phone. 
2  Connect the charger to an electrical outlet.
3  Connect the other end of the cable to the phone as 
shown in the picture. The flash symbol on the plug 
must face upwards.

phone beeps three times. The indi-
cator light on the top of the phone

When “Enter PIN” appears
Some SIM cards are protected with a Personal Identifica-
tion  (PIN) code.  If so, you will be prompted to enter 
your PIN when you turn on your phone. Also, you may 
need your PIN to change settings in your phone. Fur-
thermore, some operators may have services that require 
a second PIN, your PIN2. 
You should be careful with your PIN, since it is your 
protection against unauthorized use of your subscrip-
tion. Follow these steps if   appears in the 
display after you have turned on the phone:
1  Enter your PIN. If you make a mistake while entering 
your PIN, erase the wrong digit by pressing the CLR 
key.
2 Press 
YES.
Note! If your PIN is entered incorrectly three times in a row, 
the SIM card is blocked. You can unblock it by using 
your Personal Unblocking Key (PUK). This code is 
available from your service provider. For more informa-
tion on Locks, see “Security” on page 48  .
When “Network Search” appears
After you have turned on the phone (and entered your 
PIN), the Ericsson logo, or the name of your service pro-
vider, appears in the display and the phone searches for a

22 Your Phone Book
You can create a personal phone book by storing phone 
numbers and accompanying names on the SIM card 
(card memory) and in the phone (phone memory). You 
use the PHONE BOOK menu for storing and recalling 
all the phone numbers in your phone book.
Every phone number you store includes a position num-
ber, shown in brackets. 
You can store the phone numbers together with a name 
tag to make it easier for you to keep track of your phone 
numbers. If the position number has a phone icon next 
to it, this means that you are storing the phone number 
in the phone memory and cannot take it with you if you 
change phones. The phone memory can hold up to 100 
phone numbers. The number of memory locations on 
your SIM is dependent on your network subscription. 
Unless otherwise specified, phone book entries will be 
stored on your SIM. Once the SIM is full, the entries 
will be stored in the phone’s memory.
Entering Characters
You can only enter letters when you are using the phone 
book and when you are composing a short message 
(SMS), see “Short Message Service” on page 37”.
Press the appropriate key, 1–9, 0 or #, repeatedly until 
the character you want appears in the display.

Using the Call List
This chapter describes the Call List function, which is a 
type of telephone number log or a memory that stores 
information (time, date, phone number, and name - if 
stored in phone book) about the last 30 incoming and 
outgoing calls. Once your list exceeds 30 calls, the oldest 
one is deleted.
The numbers that you have dialed are always stored. If 
your subscription includes the CLI service and the 
caller’s network sends the number, you will find the 
number (together with a name if stored in your phone 
book) of an incoming call in the Call List. You can call 
any of the stored numbers. The following icons appear 
in the display together with the name and number.
All the calls are stored together in chronological order. If 
the same number is called more than once, the latest call 
replaces earlier ones. If you check a call made on the 
same day, the time of the call is displayed. Otherwise, 
the time is replaced by the date. You can toggle between 
date and time by pressing *.
If no information about the caller’s number was 
received, the display shows   , which means 
that no information was available, your subscription 
does not support CLI, or the caller did not allow the 
number to be shown. 
Icon Explanation
The Answered calls icon appears next to the date or 
time of answered calls.

Embedded Numbers
Sending an Embedded Number
When sending a message to another wireless phone, or 
when asking someone to send a message to your Ericsson 
phone, you should follow the guidelines listed below to 
ensure that the phone retrieves the entire number from 
the message, displays it, and allows the phone user to 
dial the number by pressing YES. 
A phone number enclosed within double quotation 
marks has the highest probability of being recognized 
(e.g. “9195551212”).
Other ways to write the phone number within messages 
are:
•9195551212
•919-555-1212
•+19195551212
Note! If you are sending an embedded number internationally, 
it is best to include the international dialing code, area 
code, and area prefix as part of the number to help in the 
call back process.  The receiver of the message has the 
option of editing a number before attempting to call 
back.
Note! If the number embedded in the SMS matches a phone 
book entry, a name will be displayed when the embed-
ded number is dialed. 

Some menus/features are operator dependent.

Storing Incoming Messages
If you do not want to read an incoming message at once, 
it is automatically stored in the message memory in the 
phone. This allows you to read it later. If there are any 
unread messages in the message memory, the envelope 
icon appears at the bottom of the standby display. The 
message is stored in the message memory as New.
The message memory can hold up to 15 messages. 
When all memory positions are full, the oldest read mes-
sage is overwritten when a new unread message is 
received.
If the message memory becomes full with unread mes-
sages, new messages are automatically stored in the SIM 
card memory. If the SIM card memory becomes full, the 
envelope icon starts flashing.
Messages remain in the message memory until you erase 
them (see “Erasing a Message” on page 41), until you 
insert a different SIM card, or until the telephone needs 
the memory space to store new messages.
The SIM Card Memory
You can store important messages in a memory on your 
SIM card. This means that you can find them no matter 
which phone you use. Messages that are saved in the 
SIM card memory remain there until you erase them. 
The maximum number that you can store depends on 
your SIM card.

Some menus/features are operator dependent.

Fixed Dialing
Fixed Dialing is a way of restricting outgoing calls. It 
requires a SIM card that allows fixed numbers to be 
stored. The fixed numbers are protected by your PIN2. 
How many numbers you can store depends on your SIM 
card.
The Fixed Dialing function allows calls to be made only 
to fixed numbers stored on the SIM card. If an attempt 
is made to call other numbers, the message  
 appears in the display.
It is possible to store partial numbers, for example an 
area code, or an area code followed by the first digits 
common to several numbers. Storing 919555 allows 
calls to be made to numbers from 9195550000 to 
9195559999.

Some menus/features are operator dependent.
52 Security
Numbers beginning with the international prefix (+) 
and country code can also be stored, allowing you to 
make calls abroad.
Numbers which include question marks can be stored. 
For example, storing 91955512??  allows calls to be 
made to numbers from 9195551200 to 9195551299. 
To enter a question mark, press and hold #.

•answer and reject calls.
To call someone, you only need to press the upper side 
volume key or YES, say the voice label associated with 
that person and the phone automatically dials his or her

you would when on a call, with the phone up to your 
ear, the flip down, and in a silent environment.

number with the name “Home” (that is what you see in 
the display when searching for a number in your phone 
book), but your voice label might be “Jenny”. The voice 
labels are stored on your phone. You will need to record 
new voice labels if you change phones. You will also need 
to record new voice labels if you change SIM cards. The 
message   will

Calling from Your Car
By using the Ericsson portable or vehicle handsfree solu-
tions, you can be on the phone without using your 
hands to hold it.
Handsfree Types
If you use a Vehicle Handsfree Solution, you can choose 
between two different ways in which your phone can 
handle the speech. This is done in the Handsfree sub-
menu.
Handsfree Type 1
Handsfree Type 1 means that the phone handles the call 
in semi-duplex mode. This means that you cannot speak 
at the same time as the person at the other end of the 
line. Use this alternative only if Type 2 does not work 
properly.
Handsfree Type 2
Handsfree Type 2 means that the phone handles the call 
in full duplex mode. This considerably increases the 
quality of speech, since you do not have to wait until it is 
your turn to speak, and the speech becomes clearer.
For Handsfree Type 2 to work properly, your phone 
adapts to the sound environment around the handsfree 
equipment. This adaptation might take a few calls. Dur-
ing this learning phase, the person you are talking to 
might hear an echo of his or her own voice (because the 
sound goes from the speaker into the microphone 
again). However, this disappears as the other person 
speaks. If the echo lasts longer than the first few calls, try 
Handsfree Type 1 instead.
Note! More sophisticated Vehicle Handsfree solutions auto-
matically provide full duplex. They also disable the 
choice between Handsfree Type 1 and 2, since the 
choice becomes superfluous when using this kind of 
equipment; you always get the best quality of speech 
possible.
Setting the Handsfree Type
1  Scroll to SETTINGS and press YES.
2 Select Handsfree.
3  Select the type you want.

Some menus/features are operator dependent.
70 Extra Features
Other Handsfree-Related Settings

change the following settings when using handsfree 
equipment:
•Ring level
•Ear volume
•Ring type
•Display light
Each of these settings can be specified separately when 
you have your phone connected to handsfree equip-
ment. This means that if you choose one of these set-
tings when the phone is connected to handsfree 
equipment, the settings when it is handheld are not 
affected and vice versa.
Changing a Setting
1  Connect the phone to the handsfree equipment.
2  Change the setting according to the instructions in 
“Personalizing Your Phone” on page 30.
Answering Mode
The submenu Answering mode,  in the SETTINGS 
menu, includes two functions: Any key and Auto, which
