Q&A

Please check to see if any problems you have encountered with the phone are described in this section before taking the phone in for a service or calling a service engineer.
Q How do I view the list of outgoing calls, incoming calls and missed

calls?

A Press the
Q How do I clear all call history? A Press the left soft key[Menu] and then the Q How do I view all numbers stored in memory? A Press right soft key[Names] and then.
Q Why is the connection inconsistent or not audible in certain areas? A When frequency environment is unstable in a certain area, connection
may be inconsistent and not audible. Relocate to another area and try again.
Q Why is the connection not consistent abruptly disconnects even when

established?

A When frequency is unstable or weak or if there are too many users,
connection may be cut off even after it was established. Please try again later or attempt after relocating to other areas.
Q Why does the LCD not turn on? A Remove the battery and turn on the power after placing it back on. If
there is no change, fully charge the battery and try again.
Q Why is there an echo when a connection is made with certain
telephones in a certain area?
A This is called the Echo Phenomenon, where it occurs if connection
volume is too high or caused by special properties (semi electronic telephone exchange) of the equipment on the other end.
Q Why does the phone heat up? A The phone may get hot when there is a very long call duration or when
games are played or even when surfing the Internet for a long time. This has no effect upon the life of the product or performance.
Q Why is there no ring tone, but only a blinking LCD screen? A Phone may be set to Vibration All or in Silent All mode. In the
Sound menu, please select Volume Ringtone Volume 1 ~ Volume 5, or Vol5&Vib.
Q Why does the battery life get shorter in standby mode? A The battery is worn out. As time passes, the battery life gradually
becomes shorter. If the battery lasts about half the amount of time as when first purchased, its time to purchase a new battery.
Q Why does the battery run out so quickly during normal use? A It is due to the user environment or a large number of calls or weak

signal.

Q Why is no number dialed when you recall a Address Book entry? A Check that the number has been stored correctly by using the address

Vehicles

RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or its representative regarding your vehicle. You should also consult the manufacturer of any equipment that has been added to your vehicle.

Posted Facilities

Turn your phone OFF in any facility where posted notices so require.

Aircraft

FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while in the air. Turn your phone OFF before boarding an aircraft.

Blasting Areas

To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your phone OFF when in a blasting area or in areas posted: Turn off two-way radio. Obey all signs and instructions.
Potentially Explosive Atmosphere
Turn your phone OFF when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere and obey all signs and instructions. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death. Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always, marked clearly. Potential areas may include: fueling areas (such as gasoline stations); below deck on boats; fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities; vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane); areas where the air contains chemicals or particles (such as grain, dust, or metal powders); and any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine.
For Vehicles Equipped with an Air Bag
An air bag inflates with great force. DO NOT place objects, including either installed or portable wireless equipment, in the area over the air bag or in the air bag deployment area. If in-vehicle wireless equipment is improperly installed and the air bag inflates, serious injury could result.

FDA Consumer Update

The U.S. Food and Drug Administrations Center for Devices and Radiological Health Consumer Update on Mobile Phones.
1.Do wireless phones pose a health hazard?

3.What kinds of phones are the subject of this update?
The term wireless phone refers here to handheld wireless phones with built-in antennas, often called cell, mobile, or PCS phones. These types of wireless phones can expose the user to measurable radiofrequency energy (RF) because of the short distance between the phone and the users head. These RF exposures are limited by FCC safety guidelines that were developed with the advice of the FDA and other federal health and safety agencies. When the phone is located at greater distances from the user, the exposure to RF is drastically lower because a person's RF exposure decreases rapidly with increasing distance from the source. The so-called cordless phones, which have a base unit connected to the telephone wiring in a house, typically operate at far lower power levels, and thus produce RF exposures far below the FCC safety limits.
4.What are the results of the research done already?
The research done thus far has produced conflicting results, and many studies have suffered from flaws in their research methods. Animal experiments investigating the effects of radiofrequency energy (RF) exposures characteristic of wireless phones have yielded conflicting results that often cannot be repeated in other laboratories. A few animal studies, however, have suggested that low levels of RF could accelerate the development of cancer in laboratory animals. However, many of the studies that showed increased tumor development used animals that had been genetically engineered or treated with cancer-causing chemicals so as to be pre-disposed to develop cancer in the absence of RF exposure. Other studies exposed the animals to RF for up to 22 hours per day. These conditions are not similar to the conditions under which people use wireless phones, so we dont know with certainty what the results of such studies mean for human health. Three large epidemiology studies have been published since December 2000. Between them, the studies investigated any possible association between the use of wireless phones and primary brain cancer, glioma, meningioma, or acoustic neuroma, tumors of the brain or salivary gland,
leukemia, or other cancers. None of the studies demonstrated the existence of any harmful health effects from wireless phone RF exposures. However, none of the studies can answer questions about long-term exposures, since the average period of phone use in these studies was around three years.
