1
Let’s get started
Thanks for choosing the the R3000. It’s a GSM dual band GPRS digital mobile
phone, which we’ll simply call ‘phone’ from now on.
If you’d like your phone to live a long and fruitful life, please read this guide
carefully and keep it for future reference. You never know when you might need
it.
And don’t worry if the pictures we use to demonstrate your phone’s functions
look a little different from what you see on its screen. It’s the functions they
show that matter.
Lost or stolen?
If your phone goes missing, please tell your service provider as soon as you
know. That way other people can be barred from using it.
Obviously, it’s best to keep your phone with you at all times, and we’d strongly
advise you to set a PIN, and change it from time to time.
2
Using your phone safely
on the road
Using a phone while driving is illegal in many countries. Please follow local
laws and drive safely at all times.
near sensitive electronics
Don’t use your phone near sensitive electronic equipment – particularly
medical devices such as pacemakers – as it could cause them to
malfunction. It can also interfere with the operation of fire detectors and
other automated equipment.
For more information about how your phone affects pacemakers or other
electronic equipment, please contact the manufacturer or your local
distributor.
Your phone may cause interference when used near TVs, radios or
automated office equipment.
while flying
Your phone can cause interference with aircraft equipment. So it’s essential
3
you follow airline regulations. And if airline personnel ask you to switch off
your phone, or disable its wireless functions, please do as they say.
in hospital
Your phone may interfere with the normal operation of medical equipment.
Follow all hospital regulations and turn it off when you’re asked to by posted
warnings or medical staff.
at a petrol station
Don’t use your phone at petrol stations. In fact, it’s always best to switch off
whenever you’re near fuels, chemicals or explosives.
around water
Keep your phone away from water (or any other liquid). It’s not a waterproof
model.
making repairs
Never take your phone apart. Please leave that to the professionals.
4
Unauthorised repairs could break the terms of your warranty.
broken antenna
Don’t use your phone if the antenna is damaged, as it could cause injury.
around children
Keep your mobile out of children’s reach. It should never be used as a toy
and it might not be good for their health.
original accessories
Only use the original accessories supplied with your phone or those
approved by the manufacturer. Using unapproved accessories may affect
performance, make the warranty void, break national regulations on the use
of mobile phones, or even cause injury.
near explosives
Turn off your phone in or near areas where explosive materials are used.
Always obey local laws and turn off your phone when requested.
5
emergency calls
To make an emergency call your phone must be turned on and in an area
where there’s network coverage. Dial the national emergency number (in the
UK: 999) and press ‘send’. Explain exactly where you are and don’t hang up
until help has arrived.
working temperature
The working temperature for the phone is between 0℃ and 40℃. Please
don’t use the phone outside that temperature range as it might cause
problems.
At very high volume, prolonged listening to a mobile phone can damage your
hearing.
6
Battery care and safety
Keep the battery in a cool, ventilated place and out of direct sunlight.
Although the battery is rechargeable, it’ll eventually start to lose its ability to
recharge. If you find that the battery won’t recharge, it’s time to replace it.
Please don’t throw old batteries into your household rubbish. You’ll find there
are special bins for batteries at refuse collection points. And some high
street electrical stores provide a battery recycling service too.
Never throw the battery into a fire – it’s highly inflammable and could
explode, hurting you or somebody else.
When you put the battery into your phone, there’s no need to use force.
Exerting too much pressure could make it leak, overheat, explode or burst
into flame.
Never take the battery apart. This may result in leakage, overheating,
explosion or fire.
If the battery becomes hot, changes colour or shape at any time (when in
use, charging or even while in storage) please stop using it immediately and
replace.
Keep the battery dry. Damp or wet conditions can cause it to overheat or
corrode.
7
Don’t leave the battery in direct sunlight or anywhere really hot, like in a car
on a summer’s day. That could make it leak or overheat, while lowering its
performance and shortening its life.
Don’t charge the battery continuously for 24 hours. Overcharging is not good
for it.
Note:
Please avoid contact with the materials inside a damaged or leaking
battery. If they get on your skin, wash with lots of water and seek
medical assistance if required.
Charger care and safety
Only plug the charger into voltages between 110VAC and 220VAC. Using a
voltage outside that range can damage the phone/charger – and cause the
battery to leak or catch fire.
Never short-circuit the charger – this may cause electrocution, overheating
or damage.
Don’t charge the phone in direct sunlight or in an area where it’s damp, dusty,
or on a vibrating surface. And charging your phone near – or on – a TV or
8
radio could interfere with transmission.
Don’t use the charger if the power cable is damaged. It may cause a fire or
give someone an electric shock.
Keep water well away from the charger. If the charger does get splashed by
water, or any other kind of liquid, immediately unplug it to avoid overheating,
fire or electrocution.
Don’t take the charger apart. It could cause injury, give you an electric shock
or catch fire.
Never touch any charger, electric cable or socket with wet hands.
Don’t place heavy objects on the electric cable.
If the cable is damaged, don’t try to mend it yourself – it could cause a fire or
electrocute you.
Always unplug the charger before you clean it.
When unplugging the charger, hold the plug itself, rather than pulling on the
cable. A damaged cable can cause electrocution or fire.

completely drained before recharging. And then recharge it
fully. That will help ensure its optimum performance and
long life.
1. Connect the charger to your phone, and plug it into an 110V/220V socket.
2. The battery indicator in the corner of the screen will scroll up and down to
show you it’s charging. If the phone’s battery has been fully drained, the

Care and maintenance
Your phone is a delicate device. The following advice will help you to keep it
looking good and performing well…
Use a soft dry cloth to clean your phone, battery and charger. Don’t use
liquids such as alcohol, dilution agents or benzene.
From time-to-time, clean the socket where the charger cable connects to the
phone. Dust tends to gather there. This will ensure a really good connection.
Don’t use needles, pen points or other sharp objects on the keypad or
screen.
Don’t use your phone with wet hands – it could injure you and damage the
phone.
Don’t use your phone in dusty or dirty environment.
Keep your phone away from extremes of heat – like radiators or ovens. It
may explode if it gets too hot.
If your phone gets wet and the colour of the label on it changes, the warranty
55
will be void, even if the warranty period hasn’t expired.
If there’s anything wrong with the phone, battery, charger, or any accessory,
please send them to your nearest service centre for inspection.

4RF 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.
57
The highest SAR value for the model phone as reported to the FCC, described in this
user guide, is
Position 850MHz (W/Kg) 1900MHz (W/Kg)
Head 0.947 0.640
Body 0.978 0.593
(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 http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching
on FCC ID: Q78-R3000
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 1.5 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 1.5cm from your body when the phone is switched on.
58
This device is compliance with SAR for general population /uncontrolled exposure
limits in ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1999 and had been tested in accordance with the
measurement methods and procedures specified in OET Bulletin 65 Supplement C.
