Troubleshooting
If you encounter problems while using the phone, or if it
performs abnormally, you can refer to the chart below. If your
particular problem cannot be resolved using the information in
the chart, contact the dealer where you purchased the phone.
Problem
Possible causes
Possible solution
Poor reception
The network signal is too
weak at your current
location,
for example, in a basement
or near a tall building,
because wireless
transmissions cannot
effectively reach it.
Move to a location where
the network signal can be
properly received.
The network is busy at the
current time (for example,
during peak times, there
may be too much network
traffic to handle additional
calls).
Avoid using the phone at
such times, or try again after
waiting a short time.
You are too far away from a
base station for your service
provider.
You can request a service
area map from your service
provider.
Echo or noise The network link quality is
poor on the part of your
service provider.
End the call and dial again.
You may be switched to a
better-quality network link
or
phone line.

extremes of temperature.
The contact between the
battery and charger is poor.
Check all connectors to
ensure that all connections
have been properly made.
Shortened
standby time
The standby time is related
to your service provider
system configuration. The
same phone used with
different service providers’
systems will not provide
exactly the same length of
standby time.
If you are located in an area
where signaling is weak,
temporarily power off the
phone.
The battery is depleted. In
high temperature
environments, battery life
will be shortened.
Contact the dealer to
change a new battery.

Possible causes
Possible solution
If you are not able to
connect to the network, the

FCC RF Exposure Information (SAR)
This phone is designed and manufactured not to exceed the
emission limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set
by the Federal Communications Commission of the United
States.
During SAR testing, this device was set to transmit at its highest
certified power level in all tested frequency bands, and placed
in positions that simulate RF exposure in usage against the
head with no separation, and near the body with the separation
75
of 5 mm. Although the SAR is determined at the highest
certified power level, the actual SAR level of the device 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.
The exposure standard for wireless devices employs a unit of
measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or
SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg.
This device is complied with SAR for general population
/uncontrolled exposure limits in ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1992 and
had been tested in accordance with the measurement methods
and procedures specified in IEEE1528.
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. SAR
information on this model phone is on file with the FCC and can
be found under the Display Grant section of
www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid after searching on FCC ID:
SRQ-BLADEV8MINI.
For this device, the highest reported SAR value for usage against
the head is 1.342 W/kg, for usage near the body is 1.554 W/kg.
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of
various phones and at various positions, they all meet the
government requirement.
SAR compliance for body-worn operation is based on a
76
separation distance of 10 mm between the unit and the human
body. Carry this device at least 10 mm away from your body to
ensure RF exposure level compliant or lower to the reported
level. To support body-worn operation, choose the belt clips or
holsters that do not contain metallic components to maintain a
separation of 10 mm between this device and your body.
RF exposure compliance with any body-worn accessory that
contains metal was not tested nor certified, and using such
body-worn accessory should be avoided.

Radio Frequency Interference
General Statement on Interference
Care must be taken when using your phone in close proximity to
personal medical devices, such as pacemakers and hearing aids.
Please consult your doctor and the device manufacturers to
determine if the operation of your phone may interfere with the
operation of your medical devices.
Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum
83
separation of 15 cm be maintained between a mobile phone and
a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker.
To achieve this, use the phone on the opposite ear to your
pacemaker and do not carry it in a breast pocket.
Hearing Aids
People with hearing aids or other cochlear implants may
experience interfering noises when using wireless devices or
when one is nearby.
The level of interference depends on the type of the hearing
device and the distance from the interference source. Increasing
the separation between them may reduce the interference. You
may also consult your hearing aid manufacturer to discuss
alternatives.
Medical Equipment
Switch off your wireless device when you are requested to do
so in hospitals, clinics or health care facilities. These requests
are designed to prevent possible interference with sensitive
medical equipment.
Hospitals
Turn off your wireless device when requested to do so in hospitals,
clinics or health care facilities. These requests are designed to
prevent possible interference with sensitive medical equipment.
84
Aircraft
Switch off your wireless device whenever you are instructed to do
so by airport or airline staff.
Consult the airline staff about the use of wireless devices on
board the aircraft and enable airplane mode of your phone when
boarding an aircraft.
Interference in Vehicles
Please note that because of possible interference to
electronic equipment, some vehicle manufacturers forbid the
use of mobile phones in their vehicles unless a hands-free kit
with an external antenna is included in the installation.
Explosive Environments
Gas Stations and Explosive Atmospheres
In locations with potentially explosive atmospheres, obey all
posted signs to turn off wireless devices such as your phone or
other radio equipment.
Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres include fueling
areas, below decks 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.
85
Blasting Caps and Areas
Power off your mobile phone or wireless device when in a
blasting area or in areas where signs are posted to power off
“two-way radios” or “electronic devices” to avoid interfering with
blasting operations.
