Privacy Information
Camera usage and photo/audio/video recordings carried out with the phone can offend the confidentiality

the only responsible subject in the case of eventual violations of the enforced norm.
Copyright Notice
The video/audio recordings you make/download are protected by copyright laws. They are for personal
use only and must not otherwise be used without the permission of the copyright owner.
Radio Frequency (RF) Energy
This model phone meets the government’s requirements for exposure to radio waves.
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 U.S. Government:
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 1.6 W/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.
The highest SAR value for this model phone as reported to the FCC when tested for use at the ear is
W/kg and when worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is W/kg (Body-worn
measurements differ among phone models, depending upon available enhancements and FCC
requirements.)
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of individual E821 phones and at various
positions, they all meet the government requirement.
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
http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid after searching on
FCC ID:
For body worn operation, this phone has been tested and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines for
use with an accessory that contains no metal and that positions the handset a minimum of 1.5 cm from
the body. Use of other enhancements may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines. If
you do not use a body-worn accessory and are not holding the phone at the ear, position the handset a
minimum of 1.5 cm from your body when the phone is switched on.

Troubleshooting and FAQs
If you encounter problems while using the phone, or if it performs erratically, you can consult the
information in the chart below. If your particular problem cannot be resolved using the information in the
chart, contact the dealer of handset.
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
Poor network trunk quality on the part of your
service provider.
Press the End Key and dial again. You may
be switched to a better-quality network trunk
or phone line.
Poor local telephone line quality.
Press the End Key and dial again. You may
be switched to a better-quality network trunk
or phone line.
Unable to select
certain features.
Your service provider does not support these
features, or you have not applied for services
that provide these features.
Contact your service provider.
Battery will not
charge.
The battery or battery charger is damaged.
Contact the dealer.
The phone’s temperature is below 0℃ or
higher than 45 ℃.
Adjust the battery charging environment to
avoid extremes of temperature.
Poor contact between the battery and charger.
Check all connectors to make sure 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 switch off the phone.
The battery is depleted. In high-temperature
environments, battery life will be shortened.
Use a new battery.
If you are not able to connect to the network,
the phone will continue to send out signals as
it attempts to locate a base station. Doing so
consumes battery power and will
consequently shorten standby time.
Change your location to one where the
network is accessible, or temporarily turn off
your phone.
You cannot switch
your phone on.
Battery power has been depleted.
Recharge the phone’s battery.
