subject to changes that could affect the accuracy and performance of
all GPS equipment.
The GPS receiver in your phone receives signals from up to twelve
satellites at once, and using this information calculates your position
and tracks your movement on Earth, and also sets your phone's
clock on time. Information must be received from at least three suit-
ably positioned satellites for position calculation. The signals sent by
the GPS satellites are quite weak and do not travel through solid ob-
jects, such as people, buildings, rocks, or heavy tree cover. This may
affect GPS receiver performance indoors, in urban areas with tall
buildings, or whenever the GPS antenna doesn't have an unobstruct-
ed view of the sky.

EMERGENCY CALLS AND MESSAGES

The phone is an aid and should never be relied upon as an only
emergency phone. Its functionality is dependent on GSM network
and GPS satellites which may not be available all the time.
To make emergency calls, the phone must be turned on and located
in an area with adequate GSM network signal strength. Some net-
works also require that a valid SIM card is inserted in the phone.
Making BeneGuard emergency call, i.e. specific emergency call to
pre-configured numbers, also requires proper configuration, GPS
satellite coverage and a valid SIM-card.
Emergency calls may not be possible on all GSM phone networks or
when certain network services or phone features are in use. In un-
clear cases, consult the network operator.

GENERAL NOTES REGARDING SAFETY

• Road traffic and driving: Strictly adhere to all eventual interna-
tional and national legislation and also honour other eventual
safety recommendations when using the phone while driving a
vehicle. It is advisable to install and use a hands-free operating
system in a car for minimizing the distraction from using the
phone. Make sure, the phone is secured in its holder, do not place
the phone on the passenger seat or some other place where it can
break loose in a collision or a sudden stop. When receiving a call
in an awkward driving situation, you must always put safety before
other priorities and courtesy: Pull off the road and park before
making or answering a call if driving conditions so require. Do not
use the phone at all while driving if it is against national legisla-
tion or makes you feel uncomfortable.
• Vehicles with air bags: An air bag inflates with great force. Do not
place objects, including either installed or portable wireless devices,
in the area over the air bag or in the air bag deployment area.
• External alert: The use of the alert phone to operate a vehicle´s
lights or horn on public roads is not permitted.
• Children: Keep the phone and its accessories away from small
children to avoid causing injury to themselves or others. Damage
to the phone or its accessories is also thus avoided.
QUICK GUIDE FOR TRACK PHONES 5/5
• Power supply : This equipment is intended for use with the speci-
fied power supplies listed in this Quick Guide. Any other usage
will invalidate any approval given to this apparatus and may be
dangerous.
• Other accessories: Only use approved batteries, antennas and
chargers. The use of any unauthorized accessories, modifications
or attachments may be dangerous and voids the phone warranty if
said accessories cause damage or a defect to the phone. Check the
compatibility of new power supply units and other accessories at
the dealer or manufacturer.
• Conductive materials: Make sure, the batteries and spare batter-
ies are kept away from conductive materials, such as coins, jew-
elry, keys, and other metal objects, because a close contact of
these materials and batteries can cause short-circuit, injury, burns
or some other damage. Be especially careful when placing batter-
ies inside your pocket, purse, or other container with metal
objects.
• Power cord: Disconnect the power cord of any accessory by
grasping and pulling the plug, not the cord.
• Connections: All installations, connections and service regarding
the phone, its power supply and accessories should be approved
by the phone manufacturer. Use of any unauthorized accessories,
modifications or attachments may be dangerous and voids the
phone warranty if said accessories cause damage or a defect to the
phone.
• Magnetic fields: The phone contains small magnetic compo-
nents. Even though the magnetic fields of the components are
weak, they might damage magnetic cards, such as bank and credit
cards. We recommend that you would keep the phone away from
magnetic cards.
• Storing positions (and other memory data): Position informa-
tion is stored correctly in the phone when the GPS is turned off
(from the GPS menu) or powered off (by pressing the topmost
side key). To prevent the memory from becoming corrupted,
never power off the phone by removing the battery.

RADIO FREQUENCY (RF) ENERGY

• Normal operation: Hold the phone as you would hold any other
phone, with the antenna pointed up and over your shoulder. Do
not touch the antenna unnecessarily when the phone is in use,
because it affects call quality and may cause the phone to operate
at a higher power level than needed.
• Aircrafts: Turn your phone off before boarding any aircraft and
do not use the phone while in the air. Also make sure that an auto-
matic timer function will not activate the phone during the flight.
Besides being illegal, the use of a mobile phone in an aircraft may
endanger the operation of the aircraft or disrupt the mobile net-
work. Failure to comply with this instruction may lead to suspen-
sion or denial of mobile phone services, and possibly even legal
action.
• Hospitals: Turn your phone off before entering hospitals or other
health care facilities where medical electronic equipment may be
in use. Such devices can be extremely sensitive to radio frequency
interference. Only use the phone with permission and under the
instruction of hospital staff.
• Medical devices: Remember that any personal medical devices
(such as hearing aids or pacemakers) may be affected by RF energy
if they are not adequately shielded. Consult the manufacturer or
vendor of the equipment to determine the proper shielding.
• Persons with pacemakers: Contact your cardiologist and make
sure, the pacemaker you wear is adequately shielded against RF
energy. Always keep the phone more than six inches (6 ") from the
pacemaker when the phone is turned on. Never carry the phone in
a breast pocket. Use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize
the potential interference. Turn the phone off immediately if you
have a reason to suspect that interference is taking place.
• Posted facilities and country-specific regulations: Power off
the phone in any facility where posted notices require to turn off
mobile phones. Also follow all the country-specific regulations
applicable to where the phone is used.
• Potentially explosive atmospheres: Turn off the phone at refuel-
ling points, e.g. gas stations. Also observe restrictions on the use
of radio equipment in fuel depots, chemical plants or where blast-
ing operations are in progress because remote control RF devices
can cause an explosion or fire. Do not store or carry flammable
liquids, gases or explosive materials in the same compartment as
the phone, its parts or accessories.
• Vehicle´s own electronical equipment: Using the phone may
cause interference with electronic systems of a vehicle, e.g. elec-
tronic anti-skid braking systems, electronic cruise control systems,
air bags etc. if the equipment is not adequately shielded. Consult
the manufacturer or the vehicle seller to determine the proper
shielding.
• Other electronical equipment: Using the phone near any elec-
tronic devices (such as a car stereo, tv set, an alarm system and so
on) may cause interference if the electronic devices are not ade-
quately shielded. Consult the manufacturer or the seller to deter-
mine the proper shielding.
• Computers: Remember that using the phone close to a computer
may cause interference. When using your phone near such equip-
ment keep a distance of about one meter.
• Body parts: When the phone is in operation do not touch the
antenna with eyes, mouth or bare skin to guarantee proper func-
tion.
