Questions & Answers
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 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 can not 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 End Key and dial again. You may be
switched to a better-quality network trunk or
phone line.
• Poor local telephone line quality.
Press 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°C or
higher than 45 °C.
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 power 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.

more immune than others to this interference noise, and phones also vary in the amount of
interference they generate. The wireless telephone industry has developed ratings for some of
their mobile phones, to assist hearing-device users in finding phones that may be compatible with
their hearing devices. Not all phones have been rated. Phones that have been rated have a label
on the box. Your Model name:F870E has been tested for hearing aid device compatibility and
has an M3 rating.
These ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary, depending on the level of immunity of your
hearing device and the degree of your hearing loss. If your hearing device happens to be
vulnerable to interference, you may not be able to use a rated phone successfully. Trying out the
phone with your hearing device is the best way to evaluate it for your personal needs.
M-Ratings: Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to generate less
interference with hearing devices than phones that are not labeled. M4 is the better/higher of the
two ratings. T-Ratings: Phones rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to be more
usable with a hearing device‟s telecoil (“T Switch” or “Telephone Switch”) than unrated phones.
T4 is the better/higher of the two ratings. (Note that not all hearing devices contain telecoils.) The
more immune your hearing aid device is, the less likely you are to experience interference noise
from your wireless phone. Hearing aid devices should have ratings similar to those of phones.
Ask your hearing health-care professional for the rating of your hearing aid.
Hearing devices may also be measured for immunity to this type of interference. Your
hearing device manufacturer or hearing health professional may help you find results for your
hearing device. The more immune your hearing aid is, the less likely you are to experience
interference noise from wireless devices.

wireless devices and other steps the FCC has taken to ensure that individuals with disabilities
have access to telecommunications services, please go to www.fcc.gov/cgb/dro.

RF Exposure Information (SAR)
This mobile 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 1.6W/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 poser 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 the model phone as reported to the FCC when tested for use at the ear
is 0.677 W/kg and when worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is 1.24 W/kg
(Body-worn measurements differ among phone models, depending upon available accessories
and FCC requirements.)
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various 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
www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid after searching on FCC ID: Q78-F870E.
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 the positions the handset a minimum of 2.5
cm from the body. Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure
guidelines. If you do no t use a body-worn accessory and are not holding the phone at the ear,
position the handset a minimum of 2.5 cm from your body when the phone is switched on.
