Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use 1Your terminal is a radio transmitter and receiver. When the terminal is turned on, it receives and transmits radio frequency (RF) energy. Depending on the type of termi-nal you have bought, it operates in different frequency ranges and employs commonly used modulation tech-niques. The system that handles your call when you are using your terminal controls the power level at which your terminal transmits.SafetyExposure to Radio Frequency SignalsYour 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 guide-lines are consistent with the safety standards previously 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 peri-odic evaluations of the relevant scientific literature. For example, over 120 scientists, engineers, and physicians from universities, government health agencies, and industry reviewed the available body of research to develop the ANSI Standard (C95.1).The design of your phone complies with the FCC guide-lines (and those standards).* American National Standards Institute: National Coun-cil on Radiation Protection and Measurements; Interna-tional Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection.Antenna Care Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage the phone and may violate FCC regulations.Accessories Use only the supplied belt clip or approved Ericsson accessory. Use of unauthorized accessories may violate FCC regulations and should be avoided.Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use
2Guidelines for Safe and Efficient UsePhone OperationNORMAL POSITION: Hold the phone as you would any other telephone with the antenna pointed up and over your shoulder.TIPS ON EFFICIENT OPERATION: For your phone to operate most efficiently:Extend your antenna fully (where applicable).Do not touch the antenna unnecessarily when the phone is in use. Contact with the antenna affects call quality and may cause the phone to operate at a higher power level than otherwise needed.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:Give full attention to driving - driving safely is your first responsibility.Use handsfree operation, if available.Pull off the road and park before making or answer-ing a call if driving conditions so require.In addition, Ericsson suggests the following safe driving tips if you are using your phone while driving:Get to know your wireless phone and its features such as speed dial and redial.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 your wireless phone to help others in emergen-cies.Call roadside assistance or a special wireless non-emergency assistance number when necessary.Electronic DevicesMost modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF signals. However, certain electronic equipment may not be shielded against RF signals from your wireless phone.PacemakersThe Health Industry Manufacturers Association recom-mends that a minimum separation of six (6”) inches be maintained between a handheld wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pace-maker. These recommendations are consistent with the
Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use 3independent research by and recommendations of Wire-less 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 a breast pocket.Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to mini-mize the potential for interference.If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, turn your phone OFF immediately.Hearing AidsSome 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 cus-tomer service line to discuss alternatives).Other Medical DevicesIf you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of your device to determine if it is ade-quately shielded from external RF energy. Your physi-cian 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 equip-ment that could be sensitive to external RF energy.VehiclesRF 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 man-ufacturer of any equipment that has been added to your vehicle.Posted FacilitiesTurn 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.Blasting Areas To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your phone OFF when in a “blasting area” or in areas posted: “Turn off two-way radio.” Obey all signs and instruc-tions.Potentially Explosive AtmospheresTurn 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 explo-sion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often but not always clearly marked. They include fueling areas such as gasoline stations; below deck on boats; fuel
4Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Useor chemical transfer or storage facilities; vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane); areas where the air contains chemicals 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.For Vehicles Equipped with an Air BagAn air bag inflates with great force. DO NOT place objects, including both installed or portable wireless equipment, in the area over the air bag or in the air bag deployment area. If in-vehicle wireless equipment is improperly installed and the air bag inflates, serious bodily injury could result.Product Care and OperationThis device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: 1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and 2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired opera-tion.Please observe Ericsson’s suggestions for safe and effi-cient product operation. Although the terminal is resis-tant to rain and running water, do not unnecessarily subject it to water. If you need to wash your terminal, it is recommended that you do it gently in cold water under a water tap. Make sure that your battery is prop-erly connected, the antenna is properly screwed on and that all accessories are removed before you wash your terminal.Ericsson cannot guarantee that the terminal is water resistant if the antenna is not properly connected.Do not use any detergent or washing powder.Do not immerse the product in water.Do not expose your product to liquids other than water.Do not expose your product to extreme tempera-tures.Only Ericsson original accessories are recom-mended. Failure to use them may result in loss of performance or product damage, and will void the warranty.Do not attempt to disassemble the product. Doing so will void the warranty. This product does not contain consumer serviceable components. Service should be performed by Authorized Service Center only.The terminal will not withstand dust, moisture or rain if the battery and/or the antenna are not prop-erly connected.Removal of the battery and antennas should be done under clean and dry conditions. Make sure that no moisture gets into the terminal.Do not allow children to play with your phone. They could hurt themselves or others, or could acci-dentally damage the phone. Your phone may con-
Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use 5tain small parts that could be detached and create a choking hazard.Do not allow objects to fall on, or liquids to spill on the products.Hold the phone as you would any other telephone, while in Phone Mode. While speaking directly into the mouthpiece, angle the antenna in a direction up and over your shoulder. If the antenna is extend-able/retractable, it should be extended during a call. Do not transport or store flammable gas, liquid, or explosives in the compartment of your vehicle that contains your terminal and accessories.Place the phone in a secure location when in a vehi-cle to prevent interference with vehicle operation and reduce the likelihood of injury in the case of a vehicle accident. For safe use, keep the phone a minimum of two inches (5cm) from your face while in radio or speakerphone mode.Antenna Care Do not 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.Handle a detached antenna with care since it has a sharp metallic end that could scratch, cut, or punc-ture your skin or eyes.Do not bend the antenna since it is sensitive and this will reduce its performance.Do not use the terminal with a damaged antenna. Take your terminal to a qualified service center for repair.Do not use an antenna designed for any other type of telephone than the one you have bought. Unau-thorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage the terminal and may violate the appropriate regulations and will void the warranty. 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.Power Supply Connect AC (Power supply) only to designated power sources as marked on the product.Make sure the AC (Power supply) is dry and clean before you plug it in. :$51,1*HEARING DAMAGE may occur if the phone is placed closer than 3 inches (7.62 cm) to your ear while it is in Radio Mode. Do not hold the phone to your ear when using Radio Mode.
6Guidelines for Safe and Efficient UseTo reduce the risk of damage to the electric cord, remove it from the outlet by holding onto the AC adapter rather than the cord.Make sure the cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over or otherwise subjected to damage or stress.To reduce the risk of electric shock, unplug the unit from any power source before attempting any clean-ing, then use a soft, damp cloth.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 con-nection can result in risk of electric shock.Battery InformationNew BatteriesThe battery packaged with your phone is not fully charged. For maximum battery capacity, use your charger to condition the battery. Recycling Your BatteryYour phone manufacturer is a member of the Recharge-able Battery Recycling Corporation (RBRC), a non-profit service organization designed to assist in the recy-cling 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 CareA 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. This can result in the mem-ory effect, which causes the battery to charge to less than its full capacity. If your phone shuts off due to low bat-tery 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 battery.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).
Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use 7Do not allow the battery to be placed into the mouth. Battery electrolytes may be toxic if swal-lowed.The terminal is water-resistant when the battery is removed.Do not use the terminal with a damaged battery. Use only the designated Ericsson battery.Do not use a battery designed for any other type of telephone other than the one you have bought. Unauthorized batteries could damage the terminal and may violate the appropriate regulations and will void the warranty and Ericsson cannot guarantee the terminal being water resistant.Conditioning Your BatteryTo condition your battery, do the following:1 Charge the battery until it is fully charged.2 Disconnect the charger and leave your phone ON until the battery is completely discharged. A beep will sound warning you that your battery is almost discharged. Wait until your phone turns OFF. Your battery is now completely discharged.Note! The time required to discharge a battery varies based on the type of battery and the number and duration of your calls.3 Completely discharge the battery and fully charge it, three times in succession to, complete the battery con-ditioning procedure.FDA Consumer UpdateFDA has been receiving inquiries about the safety of mobile phones, including cellular phones and PCS phones.The following summarizes what is known--and what remains unknown--about whether these products can pose a hazard to health, and what can be done to mini-mize any potential risk. This information may be used to respond to questions.Why the concern?Mobile phones emit low levels of radiofrequency energy (i.e., radiofrequency radiation) in the microwave range while being used. They also emit very low levels of radiofrequency energy (RF), considered non-significant, when in the stand-by mode. It is well known that high levels of RF can produce biological damage through heating effects (this is how your microwave oven is able to cook food). However, it is not known whether, to what extent, or through what mechanism, lower levels of RF might cause adverse health effects as well. Although some research has been done to address these questions, no clear picture of the biological effects of this type of radiation has emerged to date. Thus, the available sci-ence does not allow us to conclude that mobile phones are absolutely safe, or that they are unsafe. However, the available scientific evidence does not demonstrate any adverse health effects associated with the use of mobile phones.
8Guidelines for Safe and Efficient UseWhat kinds of phones are in question?Questions have been raised about hand-held mobile phones, the kind that have a built-in antenna that is positioned close to the user’s head during normal tele-phone conversation. These types of mobile phones are of concern because of the short distance between the phone’s antenna--the primary source of the RF--and the person’s head. The exposure to RF from mobile phones in which the antenna is located at greater distances from the user (on the outside of a car, for example) is drasti-cally lower than that from hand-held phones, because a person’s RF exposure decreases rapidly with distance from the source. The safety of so-called “cordless phones,” which have a base unit connected to the tele-phone wiring in a house and which operate at far lower power levels and frequencies, has not been questioned.How much evidence is there that hand-held mobile phones might be harmful?Briefly, there is not enough evidence to know for sure, either way; however, research efforts are on-going. The existing scientific evidence is conflicting and many of the studies that have been done to date have suffered from flaws in their research methods. Animal experi-ments investigating the effects of RF exposures charac-teristic of mobile phones have yielded conflicting results. A few animal studies, however, have suggested that low levels of RF could accelerate the development of cancer in laboratory animals. In one study, mice genetically altered to be predisposed to developing one type of can-cer developed more than twice as many such cancers when they were exposed to RF energy compared to con-trols. There is much uncertainty among scientists about whether results obtained from animal studies apply to the use of mobile phones. First, it is uncertain how to apply the results obtained in rats and mice to humans. Second, many of the studies that showed increased tumor development used animals that had already been treated with cancer-causing chemicals, and other studies exposed the animals to the RF virtually continuously--up to 22 hours per day.For the past five years in the United States, the mobile phone industry has supported research into the safety of mobile phones. This research has resulted in two find-ings in particular that merit additional study:1 In a hospital-based, case-control study, researchers looked for an association between mobile phone use and either glioma (a type of brain cancer) or acoustic neuroma (a benign tumor of the nerve sheath). No sta-tistically significant association was found between mobile phone use and acoustic neuroma. There was also no association between mobile phone use and gliomas when all types of types of gliomas were consid-ered together. It should be noted that the average length of mobile phone exposure in this study was less than three years.When 20 types of glioma were considered separately, however, an association was found between mobile phone use and one rare type of glioma, neuroepithel-liomatous tumors. It is possible with multiple compar-isons of the same sample that this association occurred
Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use 9by chance. Moreover, the risk did not increase with how often the mobile phone was used, or the length of the calls. In fact, the risk actually decreased with cumu-lative hours of mobile phone use. Most cancer causing agents increase risk with increased exposure. An ongo-ing study of brain cancers by the National Cancer Institute is expected to bear on the accuracy and repeatability of these results.12 Researchers conducted a large battery of laboratory tests to assess the effects of exposure to mobile phone RF on genetic material. These included tests for several kinds of abnormalities, including mutations, chromo-somal aberrations, DNA strand breaks, and structural changes in the genetic material of blood cells called lymphocytes. None of the tests showed any effect of the RF except for the micronucleus assay, which detects structural effects on the genetic material. The cells in this assay showed changes after exposure to simulated cell phone radiation, but only after 24 hours of exposure. It is possible that exposing the test cells to radiation for this long resulted in heating. Since this assay is known to be sensitive to heating, heat alone could have caused the abnormalities to occur. The data already in the literature on the response of the micro-nucleus assay to RF are conflicting. Thus, follow-up research is necessary.2FDA is currently working with government, industry, and academic groups to ensure the proper follow-up to these industry-funded research findings. Collaboration with the Cellular Telecommunications Industry Asso-ciation (CTIA) in particular is expected to lead to FDA providing research recommendations and scien-tific oversight of new CTIA-funded research based on such recommendations.Two other studies of interest have been reported recently in the literature:1 Two groups of 18 people were exposed to simulated mobile phone signals under laboratory conditions while they performed cognitive function tests. There were no changes in the subjects’ ability to recall words, numbers, or pictures, or in their spatial memory, but they were able to make choices more quickly in one visual test when they were exposed to simulated mobile phone signals. This was the only change noted among more than 20 variables compared.32 In a study of 209 brain tumor cases and 425 matched controls, there was no increased risk of brain tumors associated with mobile phone use. When tumors did exist in certain locations, however, they were more likely to be on the side of the head where the mobile phone was used. Because this occurred in only a small number of cases, the increased likelihood was too small to be statistically significant.4In summary, we do not have enough information at this point to assure the public that there are, or are not, any low incident health problems associated with use of mobile phones. FDA continues to work with all parties, including other federal agencies and industry, to assure that research is undertaken to provide the necessary
10 Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Useanswers to the outstanding questions about the safety of mobile phones.What is known about cases of human cancer that have been reported in users of hand-held mobile phones?Some people who have used mobile phones have been diagnosed with brain cancer. But it is important to understand that this type of cancer also occurs among people who have not used mobile phones. In fact, brain cancer occurs in the U.S. population at a rate of about 6 new cases per 100,000 people each year. At that rate, assuming 80 million users of mobile phones (a number increasing at a rate of about 1 million per month), about 4800 cases of brain cancer would be expected each year among those 80 million people, whether or not they used their phones. Thus it is not possible to tell whether any individual’s cancer arose because of the phone, or whether it would have happened anyway. A key question is whether the risk of getting a particular form of cancer is greater among people who use mobile phones than among the rest of the population. One way to answer that question is to compare the usage of mobile phones among people with brain cancer with the use of mobile phones among appropriately matched people without brain cancer. This is called a case-control study.The current case-control study of brain cancers by the National Cancer Institute, as well as the follow-up research to be sponsored by industry, will begin to gener-ate this type of information.What is FDA’s role concerning the safety of mobile phones? Under the law, FDA does not review the safety of radia-tion-emitting consumer products such as mobile phones before marketing, as it does with new drugs or medical devices. However, the agency has authority to take action if mobile phones are shown to emit radiation at a level that is hazardous to the user. In such a case, FDA could require the manufacturers of mobile phones to notify users of the health hazard and to repair, replace or recall the phones so that the hazard no longer exists.Although the existing scientific data do not justify FDA regulatory actions at this time, FDA has urged the mobile phone industry to take a number of steps to assure public safety. The agency has recommended that the industry:support needed research into possible biological effects of RF of the type emitted by mobile phones;design mobile phones in a way that minimizes any RF exposure to the user that is not necessary for device function; andcooperate in providing mobile phone users with the best possible information on what is known about possible effects of mobile phone use on human health.At the same time, FDA belongs to an interagency work-ing group of the federal agencies that have responsibility for different aspects of mobile phone safety to ensure a coordinated effort at the federal level. These agencies are:
Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use 11National Institute for Occupational Safety and HealthEnvironmental Protection AgencyFederal Communications CommissionOccupational Health and Safety AdministrationNational Telecommunications and Information AdministrationThe National Institutes of Health also participates in this group.In the absence of conclusive information about any pos-sible risk, what can concerned individuals do?If there is a risk from these products--and at this point we do not know that there is--it is probably very small. But if people are concerned about avoiding even poten-tial risks, there are simple steps they can take to do so. For example, time is a key factor in how much exposure a person receives. Those persons who spend long periods of time on their hand-held mobile phones could con-sider holding lengthy conversations on conventional phones and reserving the hand-held models for shorter conversations or for situations when other types of phones are not available.People who must conduct extended conversations in their cars every day could switch to a type of mobile phone that places more distance between their bodies and the source of the RF, since the exposure level drops off dramatically with distance. For example, they could switch to:a mobile phone in which the antenna is located outside the vehicle,a hand-held phone with a built-in antenna con-nected to a different antenna mounted on the out-side of the car or built into a separate package, ora headset with a remote antenna to a mobile phone carried at the waist.Again, the scientific data do not demonstrate that mobile phones are harmful. But if people are concerned about the radiofrequency energy from these products, taking the simple precautions outlined above can reduce any possible risk.Where can I find additional information?For additional information, see the following websites:Federal Communications Commission (FCC) RF Safety Program (select “Information on Human Exposure to RF Fields from Cellular and PCS Radio Transmitters”)http://www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafetyWorld Heal th Organization (WHO) International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (select Qs & As) http://www.who.int/emfUnited Kingdom, National Radiological Protec-tion Boardhttp://www.nrpb.org.uk

Using the belt clip or swivel is optional.Attaching and Removing Your BatteryAttaching Your BatteryYour terminal comes with a nickel metal hydride (NiMH) battery. The battery is not charged when you buy your terminal, but there may be enough power to turn on the terminal. It is recommended that you charge the battery before you use the terminal.1 Place the battery on the back of the terminal.2 Align the tabs on the bottom of the battery with the slots on the bottom of the terminal.3 Attach the battery to your terminal as shown in the following illustration.Getting Started
14 Getting StartedRemoving Your BatteryRemoving the battery is the reverse of attaching it to the terminal.1 Make sure that the terminal is turned off before removing the battery.2 Press the two latches on the top of the battery.3 Lift the battery up and away from the terminal.Charging Your BatteryYour terminal is packaged with a rapid charger. You should fully charge the battery before you attempt to use your terminal. While you are charging your terminal with your rapid or travel charger, you will still be able to make and receive calls. You can purchase an overnight charger or a travel charger from your nearest Ericsson accessory retailer.Never attach the charger to a terminal that does not have a battery installed.1 Make sure that the battery is attached to the termi-nal.2 Connect the charger to the AC power.3 Connect the other end of the cable to the terminal according to the picture. The flash symbol on the plug must face upward (you may have to press firmly).
Getting Started 15The terminal automatically starts charging the battery when you attach the charger. The following indicate charging:•The battery meter in the display will continuously fill and empty.•The indicator on top of the terminal will show a steady red light (green, if the terminal is turned on).When the battery is fully charged, the battery meter in the display shows full and the indicator on top of the terminal shows a steady green light.Note! It is possible to use the terminal while the battery is being charged with the rapid charger or travel charger. This is not true with the overnight charger. Using the terminal to make or receive calls while the terminal is being charged will increase the charging time.To disconnect the charger, first lift the plug connected to the terminal upwards and then pull it out.Your ChargerRapid Charger The rapid charger supplies power to charge your battery while the battery is attached to your terminal. You can make and receive calls while using the rapid charger, if you wish. To charge your battery with the rapid charger:1 Plug the charger into a standard wall electrical out-let.2 Hold the terminal with the display and keypad up.3 Hold the small plug on the charger cord so the light-ning bolt symbol is up.4 Align the small plug on the charger cord with the connector on the bottom of your terminal. The con-nector on the terminal is above the lightning bolt symbol.5 Press the plug into the connector until the plug "snaps" into place.Note! To disconnect the charger, first twist the plug connected to the terminal upwards and then pull it out.
16 Getting StartedDesk/Wall StandThe desk/wall stand for your Ericsson rugged terminal serves both as a charger and a holder for the terminal. When the battery runs low, just place the terminal in the desk/wall stand to charge it (the charger must be con-nected to the desk/wall stand).The desk/wall stand, which consists of two separate pieces, can be placed on a table or attached to the wall. Separate and rotate the two pieces to change between desk and wall stand modes.To use your desk/wall stand, do the following:1 Separate the two pieces of the desk/wall stand (see picture below).2 Place the desk/wall stand on a table or attach it to the wall.3 Using the appropriate cord supplied with the charger, attach the terminal to the charger.4 Plug the other end of the charger cord into a stan-dard electrical wall outlet.Note! The flash symbol must face upwards.5 Place the terminal in the desk/wall stand for charg-ing.
Getting Started 17Travel Charger The travel charger supplies power to charge your battery while the battery is attached to your terminal. You can make and receive calls while using the travel charger, if you wish. To charge your battery with the travel charger:1 Using the appropriate cord supplied with the charger, attach the terminal to the charger.2 Using the other cord supplied, plug the charger into a standard electrical wall outlet.When to Charge Your BatteryThe NiMH battery that comes with your terminal can be charged whenever you wish without losing perfor-mance. This is not the case with the cheaper nickel cad-mium type batteries, often sold as accessories from other suppliers. For optimal talk and standby time in the long run, we recommend that you only use Ericsson original batteries with your Ericsson terminal.To remind you that the battery will soon need to be charged or replaced with a charged one, the following will occur:•An alarm signal (a long beep) sounds and the mes-sage Low Battery! appears for 10 seconds in the display.•The indicator light on top of the terminal starts blinking red.Note! If the terminal is left turned on, the low battery alarm will be repeated several times and, finally, the terminal will turn itself off when the battery is no longer able to power it satisfactorily. It might be possible to turn the terminal on again, but you will not be able to make or receive any calls. You should charge the battery or replace it with a charged one.

You can enter a stop in a series of Call 00:01
24 Basic Operationsdigits by pressing and holding # until S is shown in the display.A temporarily suspends transmitting numbers for approximately two seconds before sending the next series. You can enter a pause in a series of digits by press-ing and holding * until P is shown in the display. For example, if your office has a voice mail system that requires you to dial a phone number, followed by your extension, followed by an access code, you could enter the following: 555-1111S2222P33333 where 555-1111 is the phone number to enter your voice mail sys-tem. S is a stop. 2222 is your extension. P is a pause. 33333 is your security code.When you press YES in Phone Mode or PTT in Radio Mode, your terminal dials the number and then stops transmitting tones. When your voice mail system asks for your extension, press YES to transmit your extension. After a two second pause, your access code is automati-cally transmitted.If the timing in your voice mail system does not allow you to use a pause, you can enter a stop instead of the pause.You can also store groups of numbers with stops and pauses, such as the above example, in a memory loca-tion. You can then dial the numbers by entering the memory location and pressing YES.Answering CallsAnswering Calls in Phone ModeWhen your terminal receives a call, the ring tone sounds (unless you have disabled it through the Menu), the words Call Receive flash in the display, the display and keypad backlighting flash, and the indi-cator light on top of the terminal rapidly flashes green.If you have caller ID service from your system, the caller’s terminal number is shown in the display.

The pro-grammed emergency number can be dialed and called at any time, if there is a 911 system available, regardless of any call restrictions (except Keypad Lock) you have set through the Menu. A representative from your service provider or the retail outlet where you purchased your terminal should be able to change the emergency number in your terminal, if a 911 system is not available in your service area.If police, fire, or medical help is needed, dial 911 or your emergency number and press YES. Tell the dispatcher that you are calling from a wireless terminal. Wireless 911 calls do not automatically provide emergency per-sonnel with your name, location, or terminal number. The dispatcher will want to know the following:1 Your name and wireless phone number.2 The nature of the emergency.3 If police, fire, or medical assistance is needed.4 The exact location of the emergency including cross streets, mileposts, or landmarks.5 How many people are involved, their condition, and if help is being administered.Alert CallsUse the Alert button on your terminal to automatically call a programmed Alert Number. to place a call, press and hold the Alert button. To display the default Alert Number, press and release the Alert button. Press Ð or Ó to select any of the 5 Alert Numbers that have been programmed into your phone. To change any of the stored Alert Numbers, see the section Recalling Num-bers.Note! The factory default Alert phone number is 911.International CallsIf allowed by your system, you can place international calls with your terminal just as you would from any phone. If you have difficulty completing international calls, check with your system operator for information. HEARING DAMAGE may occur if the phone is placed closer than 3 inches (7.62 cm) to your ear while it is in Radio Mode. Do not hold the phone to your ear when using Radio Mode.
Basic Operations 27Caller Number IdentificationIf your system provides Caller ID service, your terminal shows the phone number of an incoming call in the dis-play. Also, if the number is one that you have stored in memory with a name, the name is shown with the phone number when your terminal rings. If the Caller ID information is not available, the message NO ID or a blank line is shown in the display. The word Private may be shown if the caller ID is restricted by the system.Low Battery Power AlertThe low battery alert sounds when your battery is reach-ing its lowest operational power level. The words Low Battery flash in the display, and the indicator light on top of your terminal flashes red. When this happens, leave your terminal turned On. The terminal discharges the battery and then shuts itself Off. You should charge the battery within 24 hours so that the battery can charge to full capacity.Security CodeYour terminal has a security code that you must enter to gain access to certain functions, such as call restrictions and calling card numbers. The factory-programmed code is 0000. You should change this code to provide maximum security for your terminal.Group Calling with TDMA ProIf your service provider has the Ericsson TDMA Pro Server, the R250d terminal supports group calling. Eric-sson TDMA Pro supports calling a group of phones by dialing a single group number defined in the TDMA Pro database. When the terminal calls a group or receives a group number, the display will indicate the group name associated with the number on the second line of the display.When the call is active, the terminal will display the group or alert call type on the third line of the display as shown below.The following group call types may be available:•Talk - A group call where all member numbers are dialed simultaneously and each member is included when the terminal is answered. An active Talk group call includes all members of the group who answered the call. This is a two-way voice conversa-

Message Services 41Your terminal can receive two types of message service (text messages and voice mail) if these services are avail-able from your service provider. If you subscribe to either or both services, callers can leave you text mes-sages or voice mail. Your service provider then transmits the text messages and voice mail notifications to your terminal.Text Message ServiceYour terminal supports three message categories: Nor-mal, Urgent, and Emergency. The actual tagging of the text message is dependent on the system used by your service provider. Your service provider transmits mes-sages to your terminal. If your terminal is On, it receives the messages as described below. If your terminal is not turned On, your service provider retains the messages and transmits them again later.Note! Your Ericsson rugged terminal holds up to 10 messages or a maximum of 2KB of message text.When reviewing a text message, the status of the text message is shown using the following letters:•R - Read, text message has been read but not saved.•S - Saved, text message has been read and saved.•U - Unread, text message has not been read.Normal MessagesIf your terminal is turned On when it receives a normal text message, your terminal sounds a brief tone and a message similar to the one in this illustration is shown in the display. After 10 seconds, the message will be saved and the text message icon ( ) will appear in the dis-play. You have a choice of reading the message immedi-ately by pressing YES, or reading it later by pressing NO. Pressing NO clears the message received alert from the display and places a number and icon in the display to remind you of your messages.Urgent MessagesIf your terminal is turned On when it receives an urgent text message, your terminal sounds a brief tone and a message similar to the one in this illustration is shown in the display. As with normal messages, you have a choice of reading the message immediately or reading it later.

A call-back message contains one or more phone numbers included by the person sending the message. If you press YES while reading a call-back message, a screen similar to the one shown here appears. To dial the dis-played number, press YES (to place a calling card call to the displayed number, press and hold YES). If you do not wish to call the displayed number, press NO to resume reading the actual message.The up and down arrows in the top right part of the dis-play indicate that there is more than one number in the message. (The arrows would not appear if there were just one number.) You can scroll through the available num-bers by pressing Ó or Ð. When you see the desired number, press YES to dial that number.If you do not call back the number in the message, you have the same options for saving and deleting the mes-sage as you do with other text messages.If you like, you can edit a displayed call-back number before you make the call. In the display, the cursor appears in reverse video, and it is initially positioned at the far left of the second line. In editing the number, you can:•Enter a number at the cursor location by pressing a number key.
