power to charge your battery while the bat-
tery is attached to your phone. If your
phone is On, it can receive calls while using
either charger.
Note! NEVER attach the charger to a phone that
does not have a battery installed.
If you have a rapid charger, plug the
charger into a standard wall electrical
outlet. If you have a travel charger, connect the appropriate AC
power cord and phone charging cord to the travel charger.
Hold the phone with the display and keypad facing up.

When you press YES, your phone dials the number and then stops
transmitting tones. When your voice mail system asks for your
extension you would press YES to transmit your extension. The
access code is sent after the pause. If the timing in your voice mail
system does not allow for pauses, you can enter a stop instead of the
pause, or use multiple pauses.

pauses in a phonebook location. You can then dial the numbers by
entering the phonebook location and pressing YES.

30 Wireless Modem Operation
Wireless Modem Operation
You can use your phone in Wireless Modem Operation when it is
powered on with the proper cable attached from your phone to your
computer. An Ericsson accessory kit may be required to use your
phone in Wireless Modem Operation. Your phone is in Wireless
Modem Operation when you see the following standby screen.
Your Ericsson mobile phone contains a modem similar to the
modems you use to connect your computer to your home or office
telephone service. Rather than connecting to standard telephone
lines, however, the modem in your mobile phone allows you to con-
nect your computer to the mobile telephone system. In places where
mobile network operators provide the necessary support, you can use
your mobile phone to send or receive faxes, upload or download data
files, or access the Internet.
This chapter will assist you with setting up your computer and
phone to handle data, fax, and Internet calls on the mobile network.
Note! If digital data/fax/Internet service is not available, you can purchase
an analog modem card that is compatible with your Ericsson mobile
phone and use data/fax functions on the available analog system.
Differences Between Data, Fax, and Internet
Calls
Your Ericsson mobile phone can handle data, fax, and Internet calls,
but each type of call requires corresponding software that must be
running on your computer.
Data Calls
Data calls are placed to exchange computer files between two com-
puters. While the data connection is in place, files can be transferred
between the connected computers, according to the capabilities of
the software in use. When a data call is made, the connection will
remain in place until it is closed by one of the computers involved.
To make or receive data calls with your Ericsson mobile phone, you
must have a properly configured communications program running
on your computer.
Fax Calls
Fax calls are placed to send fax messages. When a fax message has
been sent, your fax software or the originating fax machine will ter-
minate the call. To make or receive fax calls with your Ericsson
mobile phone, you must have a properly configured fax program
running on your computer.
Wireless Modem Operation
Draft - Not for Commercial Use - Ericsson Inc.
Wireless Modem Operation 31
Internet Calls
Internet calls are placed to Internet Service Providers (ISP) when you
want to use e-mail or access websites on the World Wide Web. To
make Internet calls, you must have an account with an ISP and a
properly configured Internet access program (browser) running on
your computer. When your software is installed and set up to dial
your ISP, calls can be made using the normal dialing procedure.
Once a connection to your ISP is established, it will remain in place
until you disconnect or until it is automatically disconnected due to
the degradation of signal quality or due to inactivity.
Note! Throughout this chapter, references to data/fax/internet will be
referred to as simply data.
Quick Net Connect

ily, and economically. The digital connection bypasses the typically-
used analog modems and connects to the Internet in a matter of sec-
onds.
Before You Start
Before setting up your phone for data operation, do the following:
•Make sure that you have the required hardware and software com-
ponents.
Note! You must have an Ericsson DA 18 Phone Book Manager Accessory
Kit, which includes a serial interface cable, to connect your Ericsson
mobile phone to your computer. The kit also includes a compact
disc with the software required to install your phone as a modem on
your computer.
•Confirm that your mobile service provider supports digital data
services in your planned usage area. If digital data service is not
available, you can purchase an analog modem card that is compat-
ible with your Ericsson mobile phone and use data functions on
the available analog system.
•Verify that you have the necessary subscription.
Note! The availability of digital mobile voice service does not necessarily
imply that your mobile service operator supports digital data opera-
tion.
Setting Up Your Computer
To operate properly with the modem in your Ericsson mobile phone,
make sure that your computer has the following hardware and soft-
ware:
•A functional serial port
•An operating system that supports data access software, such as
Windows 95 or Windows 98
•Appropriate fax (class 2.0), Internet access, or file transfer software
Note! Class “2.0” is different from Class “2”.
Initial Setup
Successful first-time setup of your phone and computer for data
operation involves the following steps:

Achieving Best Performance
Charging your Battery
Both your Ericsson mobile phone and your laptop computer batter-
ies should be well-charged before starting data operation. This will
help you avoid interruptions due to loss of power.
You may charge your phone’s battery with an Ericsson charger dur-
ing data/fax operation as mentioned above.
Signal Strength
It is important to maintain a good signal path between the phone
and the mobile telephone system when making data calls. Signals
will generally be stronger when the phone is in an upright position.
If you are indoors, your signal will generally be stronger when the
phone is near a window.
In a Vehicle
It is possible to receive data calls from your vehicle. Operation from a
moving vehicle may not be satisfactory because data may be lost
when your call is transferred from one mobile base station to
another. Be sure to give full attention to driving and pull off the road
and park before making or receiving calls, if driving conditions so
require.
Transmission Disturbances
Brief interruptions of mobile telephone signals that would not be
bothersome during a voice call may cause problems during data
operation, depending upon the error correction capabilities of the
software being used. Such interruptions are uncommon during sta-
tionary operation, but can be caused by vehicles or people passing
nearby, especially in areas of low signal strength. You can use the sig-
nal strength indicator on your phone to verify that you have a good
signal path.

40 Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use
Since its introduction in the mid 1980s, the mobile phone has been
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 Signals
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 Commission (FCC)
adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for handheld wire-
less phones. Those guidelines 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 periodic evalua-
tions of the relevant scientific literature. For example, over 120 scien-
tists, 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 guidelines (and
those standards).
* American National Standards Institute: National Council on Radia-
tion Protection and Measurements; International Commission on Non-
Ionizing Radiation Protection.
Antenna Care
Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna. Unau-
thorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage the
phone and may violate FCC regulations.
Phone Operation
NORMAL 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:
Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use
Draft - Not for Commercial Use - Ericsson Inc.
Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use 41
•Give full attention to driving - driving safely is your first responsi-
bility.
•Use handsfree operation, if available.
•Pull off the road and park before making or answering 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 driv-
ing 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 conversations that may be
distracting.
•Use your wireless phone to call for help.
•Use your wireless phone to help others in emergencies.
•Call roadside assistance or a special wireless non-emergency assis-
tance number when necessary.
Electronic Devices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF signals.
However, certain electronic equipment may not be shielded against
RF signals from your wireless phone.
Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a
minimum separation of six (6”) inches be maintained between a
handheld wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential inter-
ference with the pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent
with the independent research by and recommendations 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 a breast pocket.
•Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the poten-
tial 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 ser-
vice provider (or call the customer service line to discuss alterna-
tives).
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufac-
turer 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
Draft - Not for Commercial Use - Ericsson Inc.
42 Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use
facilities may be using equipment that could be sensitive to external
RF energy.
Vehicles
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately 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.
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.
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 instructions.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Turn your phone OFF when in any area with a potentially 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 fueling areas such as gasoline
stations; below deck on boats; fuel or 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 Bag
An air bag inflates with great force. DO NOT place objects, includ-
ing 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 Operation
This 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 undes-
ired operation.
Ericsson suggests you read and observe the following for safe care
and operation of your phone:
•Do not allow children to play with your phone. They could hurt
themselves or others, or could accidentally damage the phone.
Your phone may contain small parts that could be detached and
create a choking hazard.
•Do not expose your mobile phone to moisture or extreme temper-
atures.
Draft - Not for Commercial Use - Ericsson Inc.
Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use 43
•Only Ericsson original accessories are recommended. 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
warranty. This product does not contain consumer serviceable
components. Service should only be performed by Authorized Ser-
vice Centers.
•Do not allow objects to fall on, or liquids to spill on products.
•Connect AC (power supply) only to designated power sources as
marked on the product.
•To reduce risk of damage, remove the electrical cord from the out-
let by pulling the AC adapter at the outlet rather than the cord.
•Make sure the electric cord is located so that 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 elec-
trician. Improper connection can result in risk of electric shock.
•Don’t twist the antenna. Excess twisting will damage the antenna.
Battery Information
New Batteries
The battery packaged with your phone is not fully charged. For max-
imum battery capacity, use your charger to condition the battery.
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 subjected 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 bat-
tery 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).

44 Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use
•Do not allow the battery to be placed into the mouth. Battery
electrolytes may be toxic if swallowed.
FDA Consumer Update
FDA 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 minimize any potential risk. This informa-
tion may be used to respond to questions.
Why the concern?
Mobile phones emit low levels of radiofrequency energy (i.e., radiof-
requency 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). How-
ever, it is not known whether, to what extent, or through what mech-
anism, 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 science does not allow us to
conclude that mobile phones are absolutely safe, or that they are
unsafe. However, the available scientific evidence does not demon-
strate any adverse health effects associated with the use of mobile
phones.
What 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 telephone 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 drastically 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 telephone wiring in a house and which
operate at far lower power levels and frequencies, has not been ques-
tioned.
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 evi-
dence is conflicting and many of the studies that have been done to
date have suffered from flaws in their research methods. Animal
experiments investigating the effects of RF exposures characteristic
of mobile phones have yielded conflicting results. A few animal stud-
ies, 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 cancer
developed more than twice as many such cancers when they were
exposed to RF energy compared to controls. There is much uncer-
tainty 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,
Draft - Not for Commercial Use - Ericsson Inc.
Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use 45
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 continu-
ously--up to 22 hours per day.
For the past five years in the United States, the mobile phone indus-
try has supported research into the safety of mobile phones. This
research has resulted in two findings in particular that merit addi-
tional 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 statistically significant association was found between
mobile phone use and acoustic neuroma. There was also no associ-
ation between mobile phone use and gliomas when all types of
types of gliomas were considered 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, neuroepithelliomatous tumors. It is possible with
multiple comparisons of the same sample that this association
occurred by 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 cumulative hours of mobile phone
use. Most cancer causing agents increase risk with increased expo-
sure. An ongoing study of brain cancers by the National Cancer
Institute is expected to bear on the accuracy and repeatability of
these results.1
2 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, chromosomal aberrations, DNA strand breaks, and
structural changes in the genetic material of blood cells called lym-
phocytes. 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 expo-
sure 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 sensi-
tive to heating, heat alone could have caused the abnormalities to
occur. The data already in the literature on the response of the
micronucleus assay to RF are conflicting. Thus, follow-up research
is necessary.2
FDA is currently working with government, industry, and aca-
demic groups to ensure the proper follow-up to these industry-
funded research findings. Collaboration with the Cellular Tele-
communications Industry Association (CTIA) in particular is
expected to lead to FDA providing research recommendations and
scientific oversight of new CTIA-funded research based on such
recommendations.
Two other studies of interest have been reported recently in the liter-
ature:
1 Two groups of 18 people were exposed to simulated mobile phone
signals under laboratory conditions while they performed cogni-
tive 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 com-
pared.3

46 Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use
2 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 sta-
tistically significant.4
In 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 answers
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 Can-
cer Institute, as well as the follow-up research to be sponsored by
industry, will begin to generate 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 radiation-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 recom-
mended 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; and
•cooperate 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 working group of
the federal agencies that have responsibility for different aspects of

Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use 47
mobile phone safety to ensure a coordinated effort at the federal
level. These agencies are:
•National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health
•Environmental Protection Agency
•Federal Communications Commission
•Occupational Health and Safety Administration
•National Telecommunications and Information Administration
The 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 con-
cerned about avoiding even potential 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 consider
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 vehi-
cle,
•a hand-held phone with a built-in antenna connected to a differ-
ent antenna mounted on the outside of the car or built into a sep-
arate package, or
•a headset with a remote antenna to a mobile phone carried at the
waist.
Again, the scientific data does 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.
