DISPOSING OF THE PRODUCT
The product should never be placed in municipal
waste. Please check local regulations for disposal
of electronic products.
EMERGENCY CALLS
IMPORTANT!
This mobile phone, like any mobile phone, operates
using radio signals, cellular and landline networks as
well as user-programmed functions, which cannot
guarantee connection under all conditions. Therefore
you should never rely solely upon any mobile
phone for essential communications (e.g. medical
emergencies).
Remember, in order to make or receive calls,
the mobile phone must be switched on and in a
service area with adequate cellular signal strength.
Emergency calls may not be possible on all cellular
phone networks or when certain network services
and/or mobile phone features are in use. Check with
your local service provider.

BATTERY INFORMATION
CHARGING THE BATTERY
• The battery delivered with your phone is not fully
charged. We recommend that you charge the battery
for 4 hours before you use the phone for the first time.
If you are charging a new battery, or a battery that
has run out completely, it may take a while (up to
30 minutes) before you get any indication (the battery
meter appears in the display) that the battery is being
charged.
• Please note that you cannot turn on the phone before
the battery meter appears in the display.
• The battery can only be charged in temperatures
between +5°C (+41°F) and +45°C (+113°F).
BATTERY USE AND CARE
A rechargeable battery has a long service life if
treated properly.
A new battery or one that has not been used for
a long time could have reduced capacity the first few
times it is used.
• The talk and standby times depend on the actual
transmission conditions when using the phone. If
the phone is used near a base station, less power is
required and talk and standby times are prolonged.
