•Batteries, chargers, and
accessories
This section provides information about the phone’s batteries, accessories,
and chargers. Be aware that the information in this section is subject to
change as the batteries, chargers, and accessories change.
This phone is intended for use when supplied with power from an ACP-7U,
an ACP-8U, LCH-8, or an LCH-9. Other usage could invalidate any
approval given to this apparatus and might be dangerous.
Warning! When you purchase batteries, chargers, and
accessories for your phone, use only batteries, chargers, and
accessories that have received approval from the phone’s
manufacturer. The use of any other type of phone-related hardware will
invalidate any approval or warranty applying to the phone, and could also
be dangerous For availability of approved batteries, chargers, and
accessories, check with your dealer.
• When the battery is fully charged, the indicator will tell you that the
battery is fully charged.
• When you are not using a charger, disconnect it from the power
source. Do not leave the battery connected to a charger for more than
a week, since overcharging could shorten its lifespan. If left unused, a
fully charged battery will discharge itself over time.
Temperature extremes can affect the ability of your battery to charge.
Therefore, allow it to cool down or warm up before trying to charge it.
8260 User Guide version v. 0.06 [ 105 ] 3/6/00
Reference information
When the battery is running out of power and your phone only has a few
minutes of talk time remaining, a warning tone sounds and the Battery
low message appears briefly. When no more talk time is left, a warning
tone is sounded and the phone switches itself off.
Do not short-circuit the battery. Accidental short-circuiting can occur
when a metallic object, like a coin, a clip, or a pen causes a direct
connection of the + and - terminals of the battery, which are metal strips
on the back of the battery.
An example of short-circuiting could occur if you carry a spare battery in
your pocket or purse, where the battery could come into contact with
such objects like a coin. Short-circuiting could damage either the battery
or the connecting object.
Leaving the battery in hot or cold places, such as in a closed car in either
summer or winter conditions, will reduce the capacity and lifetime of the
battery. Always try to keep the battery between 15 C and 25 C (59 F and
77 F).
A phone with a hot or cold battery might not work temporarily, even if the
battery is fully charged. The performance of Li-Ion batteries is particularly
limited in temperatures below 0 C (32 F).
The following list provides a guideline that you can follow:
• When the operating time (talk time and standby time) is noticeably
shorter than normal, buy a new battery.
• Use the battery only for its intended purpose.
• Never use any charger or battery that is damaged and/or worn out.
• Batteries must be recycled or disposed of properly. Do not dispose of
batteries by putting them in fire!
• When you disconnect the power cord of any accessory, grasp and pull
the plug, not the cord.

•Important safety information
This section provides additional safety information. A brief overview of
safety can be found in “For your safety” on page 1.
Traffic safety
Do not use a hand-held telephone while driving a vehicle. Always park the
vehicle before using the phone.
After completing your phone conversation, always secure the phone back
into its holder; do not place the phone on the passenger seat or place it
where it can break loose in a collision or during a sudden stop.
Note: The use of an alert device to operate a vehicle’s lights or horn on
public roads is not permitted.
Remember: Safety—Your most important call.
Operating environment
Remember to follow any special regulations that are in force in any area,
and always switch off your phone wherever it is forbidden to use it.
Otherwise, the use of your phone could cause interference or danger.
When connecting the phone or any accessory to another device, read the
associated user guide first and obtain detailed safety instructions.
Note: Do not connect incompatible products.
As with other mobile radio transmitting equipment, you are advised that,
for the satisfactory operation of the equipment and for the safety of
personnel, it is recommended that the phone should only be used in the
normal operating position. This position is when the phone is held to your
ear with the antenna pointing over your shoulder.
8260 User Guide version v. 0.06 [ 107 ] 3/6/00
Reference information
Electronic devices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from radio frequency (RF)
signals. However, certain electronic equipment might not be shielded
against the RF signals from your wireless phone. The following four
subsections provide more information about this topic.
Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum separation of six
inches (20 cm.) should 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. Persons with
pacemakers:
• should always keep the phone more than six inches (20 cm) from their
pacemaker when the phone is switched on
• should not carry the phone in a breast pocket
• should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential
for interference
Note: If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking
place, switch off your phone immediately.
Hearing aids
Some digital wireless phones could interfere with some hearing aids. In
the event of such interference, you might want to consult your service
provider.
Other medical devices
Operation of any radio transmitting equipment, including cellular phones,
could interfere with the functionality of inadequately protected medical
devices. Consult a physician or the manufacturer of the medical device to
determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF energy. Also
contact these authorities if you have any questions.
8260 User Guide version v. 0.06 [ 108 ]3/6/00
Switch off your phone in health care facilities or where any posted
regulations instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities could
be using equipment that is sensitive to external RF energy.
Vehicles
RF signals could improperly affect installed or inadequately shielded
electronic systems in motor vehicles. These could include electronic fuel
injection systems, electronic anti-skid (anti-lock) braking systems,
electronic speed control systems, or air bag systems.
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
Switch your phone off in any facility where posted notices so require.
Potentially explosive atmospheres
Switch off your phone if you are in any area that has 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.
You are advised to switch off the phone while at a refueling point (service
station). And, you are reminded of the need to observe restrictions
regarding the use of radio equipment in fuel depots (fuel storage and
distribution areas), chemical plants, or where blasting operations are in
progress.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often—but not always—
clearly marked. These areas include the following: below deck on boats;
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.
8260 User Guide version v. 0.06 [ 109 ] 3/6/00
Reference information
Vehicles
Only qualified personnel should service the phone or install the phone in
a vehicle. Faulty installation or service could be dangerous and might
invalidate any warranty that could apply to the unit.
Regularly check that all wireless phone equipment in your vehicle is
mounted and operating properly.
Do not store or carry flammable liquids, gases or explosive materials in the
same compartment as the phone, its parts, or accessories.
For vehicles equipped with an air bag, remember that an air bag inflates
with great force. Do not place objects, including both the installed or the
portable wireless equipment, in the area over the air bag or in the air bag
deployment area. If the in-vehicle wireless equipment is improperly
installed and the air bag inflates, serious injury could result.
Switch off your phone before boarding an aircraft. The use of wireless
telephones in an aircraft may be dangerous to the operation of the
aircraft, disrupt the wireless telephone network and may be illegal.
Failure to observe these instructions could lead to the suspension or the
denial of telephone services to the offender, or it could result in legal
action, or both scenarios could apply.

•Emergency calls
IMPORTANT!
This phone, like any wireless phone, operates using radio signals,
wireless and landline networks, and user-programmed functions.
Because of this, connections in all conditions cannot be guaranteed.
Therefore, you should never rely solely on any wireless phone for essential
communications (e.g. medical emergencies).
Remember, to make or receive any calls, the phone must be switched on
and be used in a service area that has adequate signal strength.
Emergency calls might not be possible on all wireless phone networks or
when certain network services and/or phone features are in use. Check
with local service providers.
Always ensure that your phone is properly charged before attempting any
emergency calls. If you allow your battery to become empty, you will be
unable to receive or make calls, including emergency calls. You must then
wait a few minutes after the charging begins to place any emergency
calls.
Make an emergency call

2Enter the emergency number for your present location (for example,
911 or any other official emergency number—emergency numbers
vary by location).

Reference information
When making an emergency call, remember to give all of the necessary
information as accurately as possible. Remember that your wireless phone
might be the only means of communication at the scene of an accident—
do not terminate the call until given permission to do so.
Radio frequency (RF) signals
Your wireless handheld portable telephone is a low-power radio
transmitter and receiver. When it is on, it receives and sends out radio
frequency (RF) signals.
In August 1996, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) adopted
RF exposure guidelines that included safety levels for handheld wireless
phones. Those guidelines are consistent with safety standards previously
set by both U.S. and international standards bodies:
ANSI C95.1 (1992)*, NCRP Report 86 (1986)*, ICNIRP (1996)*.
Those standards were based on comprehensive and periodic evaluations
of the relevant scientific 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 guidelines (and those
standards).

Care and maintenance
Your phone is a product of superior design and craftsmanship and should
be treated with care. The suggestions below will help you to fulfill any
warranty obligations and allow you to enjoy this product for many years.
When using your phone, battery, charger, or any accessory:
• Keep it and all its parts and accessories out of the reach of small
children.
8260 User Guide version v. 0.06 [ 112 ]3/6/00
• Keep it dry. Precipitation, humidity, and liquids contain minerals that
will corrode electronic circuits.
• Do not use or store it in dusty, dirty areas as its moving parts can be
damaged.
• Do not store it in hot areas. High temperatures can shorten the life of
electronic devices, damage batteries, and warp or melt certain plastics.
• Do not store it in cold areas. When the phone warms up to its normal
operating temperature, moisture can form inside the phone, which
could damage the phone's electronic circuit boards.
• Do not attempt to open it. Non-expert handling of the device could
damage it.
• Do not drop, knock or shake it. Rough handling can break internal
circuit boards.
• Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to
clean it. Wipe it with a soft cloth that has been slightly dampened in
a mild soap-and-water solution.
• Do not paint it. Paint can clog the device’s moving parts and prevent
proper operation.
•If the phone, battery, charger, or any accessory is not working properly,
take it to your nearest qualified service facility. The personnel there
will assist you, and if necessary, arrange for service.

Reference information
•Accessories
If you want to enhance your phone’s functionality, a range of accessories
is available for you. You can select any of these items to help
accommodate your specific communication needs. For availability of
these and other accessories, contact your service provider.
A few practical rules for accessory operation
• Keep all accessories out of reach of small children.
• When you disconnect the power cord of any accessory, grasp and pull
the plug, not the cord.
• Check regularly that any vehicle-installed accessories are mounted
and are operating properly.
• Installation of any complex car accessories must be made by qualified
personnel only.
• Use only batteries, chargers, and accessories that have been approved
by the phone manufacturer. The use of any other types could invalidate
any approval or warranty applying to the phone, and could be
dangerous.
