Important Information
THIS PHONE MODEL HAS BEEN CERTIFIED IN 
COMPLIANCE WITH THE GOVERNMENT’S 
REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.
Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver.  It is designed 
to not exceed the limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy 
set by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the U.S. 
Government. These limits establish permitted levels of RF energy 
for the general population. The guidelines are based on standards 
that were developed by  international scientific organizations 
through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The 
standards include a safety margin designed to assure the safety of all 
persons, regardless of age and health.
The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a unit of 
measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The 
SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg.* Tests for SAR are conducted 
using standard operating positions accepted by the FCC with the 
phone transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested 
frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest 
certified power level, the actual SAR level of the phone while 
operating can be well below the maximum value.  This is because the 
phone is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use 
only the power required to reach the network.  In general, the closer 
you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power 
output. 
Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, it must be 
tested and certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the limit 
established by the government-adopted requirement for safe 
exposure.  The tests are performed in positions and locations (i.e., at 
the ear and worn on the body) as required by the FCC for each 
model. The highest SAR value as reported to the FCC for this model 
phone when tested for use at the ear is 0.93 W/kg and when worn 
on the body is 0.88 W/kg. Body worn measurements are made while 
the phone is in use and worn on the body with an Ericsson 
accessory. Accessories can significantly affect SAR compliance.  The 
Federal Communication Commission requires that some 
manufacturers' accessories be tested, and Ericsson has done so with 
respect to its products.  Ericsson has not tested non-Ericsson 
accessories in conjunction with Ericsson phones. It is therefore 
recommended that only Ericsson accessories be used in conjunction 
with Ericsson phones.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model 
phone with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with 
the FCC RF exposure guidelines. While there may be differences 
between the SAR levels of various phones, all mobile phones granted 
an FCC equipment authorization meet the government requirement 
for safe exposure.
SAR information on this model phone is on file with the FCC and 
can be found under the Display Grant section of  http://
www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching on FCC ID AXATR-421-A2. 
Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be 
found on the Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association 
(CTIA) web-site at http://phonefacts.net/. 
* In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile phones used by 
the public is 1.6 watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue. The 
standard incorporates a  margin of safety to give additional protection for the 
public and to account for any variations in measurements.

Replacing the Battery Cover
1 Insert the cover, bottom first, on the back of the phone.
2 Turn the screw clockwise to tighten the back.
Charging Your Battery
Your Charger
It is important that you fully charge your 
battery before you use your phone. Both 
chargers supply power to charge your 
battery while the battery is attached to your 
phone. If your phone is On, it can make or 
receive calls while using either charger.
Note! Never attach the charger to a phone that 
does not have a battery installed.
1  If you have a wall 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.
2  Hold the phone with the display and keypad facing up.
3  Hold the small plug on the charger cord so the lightning bolt 
symbol ( ) is up.
4  Align the small plug on the charger cord with the connector on 
the bottom of your phone. The connector on the phone is above 
the lightning bolt symbol ( ).
5  Press the plug into the connector until the plug “snaps” into place. 
The   icon continues to fill and empty until your battery is 
fully charged. When charging is complete, the battery icon will

First Time Battery Use
Fully charge the battery before you use your phone for the first time. 
Your battery can be charged whenever you want without affecting its 
performance. You can also charge the battery when the phone is off.
Charge-Only Mode
If your phone is off, attaching the charger will cause the phone to 
activate in charge-only mode.
Note! You cannot make or receive calls when your phone is in charge-
only mode.
Slow (Trickle) Charging a Deeply 
Discharged Battery
The battery could become deeply discharged (for example, when 
the battery is stored for a long period). As a result, the phone may 
not immediately activate charge-only mode when the charger is 
connected.
1  Attach the charger to the phone for several hours to slowly charge 
(trickle charge) the battery.
2  After trickle charging the battery for several hours the phone 
should activate the charge-only mode automatically.
3  Continue charging the phone until the battery is fully charged.
* It may take up to 30 minutes for a new or fully 
discharged battery to indicate charging. It takes about 
4 hours to fully charge a battery for the first time. 
For optimal performance, do not allow your battery 
to completely discharge.

Tips
•Try to record in an area where there is little or no background 
noise.
•Try to record your voice with the same equipment that you 
normally use with your phone. For example, if you normally 
have your phone connected to a portable handsfree device when 
using voice commands, record your voice commands when your 
phone is attached to a portable handsfree device.
•If you plan to use voice functions handheld mode, hold the 
phone up to the ear in the position that would normally be used 
on a call.
•Begin speaking after the tone ends.
•You can record labels that are up to 8 seconds in duration. 
Keep in mind that longer tags provide a higher recognition rate.
•Shorter tags may cause a lower recognition rate. For example, 
the name “Tom” can easily be confused with “Tim”.
•Record your voice using the same tone and inflection as you 
would when normally speaking. Try not to overpronounce or 
speak too slowly when recording.
•When using Portable handsfree devices, you can easily activate 
voice dialing by pressing the button near the microphone until 
you hear a prompt.
Troubleshooting
If your phone cannot detect speech, one of the following might have 
happened:
•You spoke too softly – try speaking more loudly.
•You held the phone too far away – hold it as you do during 
acall.
•The voice command was too short – it should be around one 
second long.
•You spoke too late or too soon – speak immediately after 
the tone.
•You may want to re-record the voice command.
Using Voice control
Once you enable the options you want to use, you can use Voice 
control. To use your voice, press and hold YES, then speak your 
name or command after the beep. From the Standby screen, you 
can say a name recorded in your Contacts list. Once you have said 
a name, you will be prompted to say the number type (for example, 
“Home”) if there is more than one number stored for that contact.
Working with Your Call List
Your Call list is a list of your last 50 incoming or outgoing calls. 
You must turn your Call list on to see your last 50 incoming and 
outgoing calls. You can view these numbers by simply pressing YES 
from the Standby screen when no other digits are in the display. The

T9 Text Input
Predictive text input software allows you to quickly and easily enter 
words or entire sentences with just one key press per letter. Predictive 
text entry software uses the phone’s internal dictionary to quickly scan 
possible variations to determine the correct word.
If you enter all your letters and the word that you want does not appear, 
press 0 to view other matches in your phone’s dictionary. Keep pressing 
0 until your word appears.
For example, to enter the word “ball”, press 2, 2, 5, 5. After the first 2, 
your screen displays “c”. After the second 2, your screen displays “ca”. 
After the first 5, your screen displays “call”. After the second 5, your 
screen displays “call”. Press the 0 key until the word “ball” is displayed.
Note! You will know that there is no word match in the T9 dictionary 
when your key presses are no longer recognized by T9 text entry 
mode. When this happens, switch to the Multitap method and 
continue text entry.
If your word does not appear, you can add it into your phone’s 
dictionary by doing the following:
•Type the text that you want to enter into your phone’s 
dictionary by using the Multitap method. Choose Multitap 
method by pressing and holding # and then selecting Multitap.
•With the cursor to the right of the last character, enter a space 
by pressing and holding 1. The word will be added to your 
phone’s dictionary and you will be returned to T9 text input.
Note! It may be helpful not to look at the screen until you are finished 
entering the characters of the word you are trying to type as a new 
word match may occur with each new character entered.
Stop and Pause Dialing
Stop and pause dialing lets you enter groups of numbers with 
stops and pauses between each group of numbers. This feature is 
useful when you need to dial a phone number and then another 
number, such as an access number for an answering machine or 
voicemail system.
A stop causes the phone to stop transmitting numbers until you 
press YES. You can enter a stop in a series of digits by pressing and 
holding # for the Options menu, and then selecting Insert stop. 
Then, a   is shown in the phone number whenever there is a stop. 
A pause temporarily suspends transmitting numbers for approximately 
two seconds before sending the next series. You can enter a pause in 
a series of digits by pressing and holding * until   is shown in the 
display or by pressing and holding # for the Options menu, and then 
selecting Insert pause. For example, if your office has a voicemail 
system that requires you to dial a phone number, followed by your 
extension, followed by an access code, you could enter the following: 
555-1111 2222 33333.
*Toggles between uppercase and lowercase
##   @   ↵   &   ∼   %   $   ^

When you press YES, your phone dials the number and then stops 
transmitting tones. When your voicemail 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 voicemail 
system does not allow for pauses, you can enter a stop instead of the 
pause, or use multiple pauses.
You can also store groups of numbers which can include stops and 
pauses in a location. You can then dial the numbers by entering the 
location and pressing YES.

Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use
Please read this information before using your mobile phone.
Your mobile phone is a highly sophisticated electronic device. To get 
the most out of your mobile phone, please read this text about 
product care, and safe and efficient use.
Product Care and Maintenance
Do not expose your product to liquid or moisture or to humidity.
Do not expose your product to extreme high or low temperatures.
Do not expose your product to lit candles, cigarettes, or cigars, or to 
open flames etc.
Do not drop, throw or try to bend the product as rough treatment 
could damage it.
Do not paint your product as the paint could obstruct the earpiece, 
microphone or any moveable parts and prevent normal use.
Do not attempt to disassemble your product. The product does not 
contain consumer serviceable components. Only Ericsson service 
partner should perform service.
Do not use any accessories other than Ericsson originals. Use of non-
Ericsson original accessories may result in loss of performance, 
damage to the product, fire, electric shock or injury. The warranty 
does not cover product failures which have been caused by use of 
non-Ericsson original accessories.
Treat your product with care, keep it in a clean and dust-free place.
Antenna Care
Your phone is equipped with either an internal or external antenna. 
To avoid impaired performance, please ensure that your mobile 
phone’s antenna is not damaged.
Do not remove the antenna yourself. If your mobile phone’s antenna 
is damaged, please take the product to an Ericsson service partner.
Only use an antenna that has been specifically designed for your 
mobile phone. Use of unauthorized antennas, modifications, or 
attachments could damage the mobile phone and may violate the 
appropriate regulations, causing loss of performance and SAR levels 
above the recommended limits (see below).
Efficient Use
For optimum performance with minimum power consumption 
please:
•Hold the mobile phone as you would any other telephone. 
While speaking directly into the mouthpiece, angle the antenna 
in a direction up and over your shoulder.
•Do not touch the antenna when the mobile phone is in use. 
Touching the antenna affects call quality, may cause the mobile 
phone to operate at a higher power level than needed and may 
shorten talk and standby times.
Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use

•Do not use the product when the front and/or back cover is 
removed from the unit.
•If your mobile phone is equipped with an infrared eye, never 
direct the infrared ray at anyone’s eye and make sure that it does 
not disturb any other infrared units.
•If your mobile phone is equipped with a retractable antenna, 
Ericsson recommends that the antenna be kept fully retracted 
(closed) while the phone is in use and worn on the body to 
avoid the antenna touching, or coming in close proximity to, 
the body.
Radio Frequency (RF) Exposure and SAR
Your mobile phone is a low-power radio transmitter and receiver. 
When it is turned on, it emits low levels of radio frequency energy 
(also known as radio waves or radio frequency fields).
Governments around the world have adopted comprehensive 
international safety guidelines, developed by scientific 
organizations*, e.g. ICNIRP (International Commission on Non-
Ionizing Radiation Protection), through periodic and thorough 
evaluation of scientific studies. These guidelines establish permitted 
levels of radio wave exposure for the general population. All Ericsson 
mobile phone models are designed to operate within these stringent 
levels. The levels include a safety margin designed to assure the safety 
of all persons, regardless of age and health, and to account for any 
variations in measurements.
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) is the unit of measurement for the 
amount of radio frequency energy absorbed by the body when using 
a mobile phone. The SAR value is determined at the highest certified 
power level in laboratory conditions, but the actual SAR level of the 
phone while operating can be well below this value.
This is because the phone is designed to use the minimum power 
required to reach the network. Therefore, the closer you are to a base 
station, the more likely it is that the actual SAR level will decrease.
Variations in SAR below the radio frequency exposure guidelines do 
not mean that there are variations in safety. While there may be 
differences in SAR levels among mobile phone models, all mobile 
phone models must be designed to meet radio frequency exposure 
guidelines.
Accessories can significantly affect SAR compliance. For example, 
the Federal Communication Commission in the U.S. requires that 
some manufacturers' accessories shall be tested, and Ericsson has 
done so with respect to its products. Ericsson has not tested non-
Ericsson accessories in conjunction with Ericsson phones. More 
information on radio frequency exposure and SAR can be found on: 
www.ericsson.com/health.
* Examples of radio-frequency exposure guidelines and standards 
that Ericsson mobile phone models are designed to conform to:
•International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation 
Protection (ICNIRP), “Guidelines for limiting exposure to 
time-varying electric, magnetic, and electromagnetic fields 
(up to 300 GHz)”, Health Physics, vol. 74, pp 494-522, 
April 1998.

Driving
Please check if local laws and/or regulations, in the country/state 
where you are, restrict the use of mobile phones while driving.
Law in many countries/states requires drivers to use a Hands Free 
solution. If so, it is recommended that you use Ericsson Hands Free 
solutions only with this Ericsson mobile phone model.
Ericsson is concerned about your safety. Always give full attention 
to driving and pull off the road and park before making or answering 
a call if driving conditions so require.
RF energy may affect some electronic systems in motor vehicles 
such as car stereo, safety equipment etc. In addition, some vehicle 
manufacturers do not allow use of mobile phones in their vehicles, 
unless a Hands Free kit with an external antenna supports the 
installation. Check with your vehicle manufacturer’s representative 
to be sure that your mobile phone will not affect the electronic 
systems in your vehicle.
Vehicles Equipped with an Air Bag
An air bag inflates with great force. Do not place objects, including 
either 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 
injury could result.
Electronic Devices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF signals. 
However, certain electronic equipment may not be shielded against 
the RF signals from your mobile phone, therefore:
Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that 
a minimum separation of six (6”) inches (15 cm) be maintained 
between a handheld wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential 
interference with the pacemaker. These recommendations are 
consistent with the independent research by and recommendations 
of Wireless Technology Research.

Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use
44
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 
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 your local Ericsson Certified Call Center 
to discuss alternatives.
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the 
manufacturer of your device to determine if they are 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.
•Turn your phone OFF in any facility where posted notices 
so require.
Aircraft
•Turn off your mobile phone before boarding any aircraft.
•To prevent interference with communication systems, you 
must not use your mobile phone while the plane is in the air.
•Do not use it on the ground without permission from the crew.
Blasting Areas
Turn off your mobile phone when in a blasting area or in areas 
posted “turn off two-way radio” to avoid interfering with blasting 
operations. Construction crews often use remote control RF devices 
to set off explosives.
Explosive Atmospheres
Turn off your mobile phone when in any area with a potentially 
explosive atmosphere. It is rare, but your mobile phone or its 
accessories could generate sparks. 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 petrol 
stations, below deck on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage 
facilities, and areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, 
such as grain, dust, or metal powders.
Do not transport or store flammable gas, liquid, or explosives in the 
same compartment of your vehicle that contains your mobile phone 
and accessories.

Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use
Power Supply
Connect the AC power adapter only to designated power sources 
as marked on the product.
To reduce 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 positioned 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 any power 
source before attempting to clean it.
The AC power adapter must not be used outdoors or in damp areas.
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.
Children
DO NOT ALLOW CHILDREN TO PLAY WITH YOUR 
MOBILE PHONE OR ITS ACCESSORIES. THEY COULD 
HURT THEMSELVES OR OTHERS, OR COULD 
ACCIDENTALLY DAMAGE THE MOBILE PHONE OR 
ACCESSORY. YOUR MOBILE PHONE OR ITS ACCESSORY 
MAY CONTAIN SMALL PARTS THAT COULD BE 
DETACHED AND CREATE A CHOKING HAZARD.
Disposing of the Product
The product should never be placed in municipal waste. Please check 
local regulations for disposal of electronic products.
Emergency Calls
IMPORTANT!
This mobile phone, like any mobile phone, operates using radio 
signals, cellular and landline networks as well as user-programmed 
functions, which cannot guarantee connection under all conditions. 
Therefore you should never rely solely on any mobile phone for 
essential communications (e.g. medical emergencies).
Remember, in order to make or receive calls, the mobile phone must 
be switched on and in a service area with adequate cellular signal 
strength. Emergency calls may not be possible on all cellular phone 
networks or when certain network services and/or mobile phone 
features are in use. Check with your local service provider.

Battery Information
Charging the Battery
The battery delivered with your phone is not fully charged. We 
recommend that you charge the battery for 4 hours before you use 
the phone for the first time. If you are charging a new battery, or 
a battery that has run out completely, it may take a while (up to 
30 minutes) before you get any indication (the battery meter appears 
in the display) that the battery is being charged.
Please note that you cannot turn on the phone before the indicator 
lights up and the battery meter appears in the display.
The battery can only be charged in temperatures between +5°C 
(+41°F) and +45°C (+113°F).
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 time could 
have reduced capacity the first few times it is used.
The talk and standby times depend on the actual transmission 
conditions when using the phone. If the phone is used near a base 
station, less power is required and talk and standby times are 
prolonged.
Use only Ericsson original batteries and chargers. Using other 
batteries and chargers could be dangerous, and the warranty does 
not cover product failures which have been caused by use of non-
Ericsson original batteries and chargers.
•Do not expose the battery to extreme temperatures, never above 
+60°C (+140°F). For maximum battery capacity, use the battery 
in room temperature. If the battery is used in low temperatures, 
the battery capacity will be reduced.
•Turn off your phone before removing the battery.
•Use the battery for the intended purpose only.
•Do not attempt to take the battery apart.
•Do not let the metal contacts on the battery touch another 
metal object. This could short-circuit and damage the battery.
•Do not expose the battery to open flames. This could cause the 
battery to explode.
•Do not expose the battery to liquid.
•Do not allow the battery to be put into the mouth. Battery 
electrolytes may be toxic if swallowed.
Disposing of the Battery
The battery should never be placed in municipal waste. Please check 
local regulations for disposal of batteries or call your local Ericsson 
Certified Call Center for information.

www.ericsson.com/consumers to get further information.
Our Warranty
Ericsson warrants this Product to be free from defects in material 
and workmanship at the time of its original purchase by a consumer, 
and for a subsequent period of one (1) year.
Any Ericsson accessory is covered by a warranty period of one (1) year 
from the date of its original purchase by a consumer in accordance 
with the applicable terms and conditions stipulated herein.
What We Will Do
If, during the warranty period, this Product fails to operate under 
normal use and service, due to improper materials or workmanship, 
Ericsson subsidiaries, authorized distributors or Ericsson service 
partners will, at their option, either repair or replace the Product 
in accordance with the terms and conditions stipulated herein.
Conditions
1  The warranty is valid only if the original receipt issued to the original 
purchaser by the dealer, specifying the date of purchase and serial 
number, is presented with the Product to be repaired or replaced. 
Ericsson reserves the right to refuse warranty service if this information 
has been removed or changed after the original purchase of the 
Product from the dealer.
2  If Ericsson repairs or replaces the Product, the repaired or replaced 
Product shall be warranted for the remaining time of the original 
warranty period or for ninety (90) days from the date of repair, 
whichever is longer. Repair or replacement may involve the use of 
functionally equivalent reconditioned units. Replaced faulty parts or 
components will become the property of Ericsson.
3  This warranty does not cover any failure of the Product due to normal

modification or adjustment, acts of God, improper ventilation or 
damages resulting from liquid.
4  Since the cellular system on which the product is to operate is 
provided by a carrier independent from Ericsson, Ericsson will not be 
responsible for the operation, availability, coverage, services or range 
of that system.
5  This warranty does not cover Product failures due to improper repair 
installations, modifications or service performed by a non-Ericsson 
service partner or opening of the Product by non-Ericsson certified 
persons.
6  The warranty does not cover Product failures which have been caused 
by use of non-Ericsson original accessories.
7  Tampering with any of the seals on the Product will void the warranty.
8  THERE ARE NO EXPRESS WARRANTIES, WHETHER 
WRITTEN OR ORAL, OTHER THAN THIS PRINTED 
LIMITED WARRANTY. ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES, 
INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THE IMPLIED 
WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS 
FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ARE LIMITED TO THE 
DURATION OF THIS LIMITED WARRANTY. IN NO 
EVENT SHALL ERICSSON BE LIABLE FOR INCIDENTAL 
OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY NATURE 
WHATSOEVER, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOST 
PROFITS OR COMMERCIAL LOSS, TO THE FULL EXTENT 
THOSE DAMAGES CAN BE DISCLAIMED BY LAW.
Some countries/states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of 
incidental or consequential damage, or limitation of the duration 
of implied warranties, so the preceding limitations or exclusions 
may not apply to you.
This warranty gives you specific rights, and you may also have other 
legal rights which may vary from country/state to country/state.
International Service
You can have your Ericsson Product serviced within the warranty 
period in any country where an identical Product is sold by an 
authorized Ericsson distributor. To find out if your Product is sold in 
the country you are in, please call the local Ericsson Certified Call 
Center. In order to be granted service, you have to present your 
original receipt specifying the date of purchase and serial number. 
Please observe that certain services may not be possible elsewhere 
than in the country of original purchase, for example due to the fact 
that your Ericsson Product may have an interior or exterior which is 
different from equivalent models sold in other countries. It may not 
be possible to repair SIM-locked Products.
