Pacemakers

If you have a pacemaker:

• Always keep the phone more than 15 cm from your pacemaker when the phone is switched on, in order to avoid potential interference.
- Do not carry the phone in a breast pocket.
- Use the ear opposite to the pacemaker to minimize the potential interference.
- Switch off your phone if you suspect that interference is taking place.

Hearing aids

If you are a user of a hearing aid, consult your physician and hearing aid manufacturer to learn whether your particular device is susceptible to cellular phone interference.

How to prolong the battery life of your phone

To have your mobile phone function properly, sufficient battery power is important. For the power-saving purpose, do the following, if applicable:

• Turn off the Bluetooth function of your phone.
- Set the backlight level and duration of your phone to a low value.
- Establish GPRS connection when needed. Otherwise, your phone will keep searching for GPRS connection, and drain your battery power.
- Turn off your phone if there is no coverage. Otherwise, the phone will keep searching for network, and drain your battery power.

Troubleshooting

The phone does not switch on

Remove/reinstall the battery. Then charge the phone until the battery icon stops scrolling. Unplug the charger and try to switch the mobile on.

The display shows BLOCKED when you switch on the phone

Somebody tried to use your phone but didn't know the PIN code nor the unblocking code (PUK).

Contact your service provider.

The display shows IMSI failure

This problem is related to your subscription. Contact your operator.

Your phone doesn't return to idle screen

Long press the hang-up key or switch off the phone, check that the SIM card and the battery are installed correctly and switch it on again.

The network symbol is not displayed

The network connection is lost. Either you are in a radio shadow (in a tunnel or between tall buildings) or you are outside the network coverage area. Try from another place, try to reconnect to the network (especially when abroad), check that the antenna is in place if your mobile has an external antenna, or contact your network operator for assistance/information.

The display doesn't respond (or the display responds slowly) to key presses

The display responds more slowly at very low temperatures. This is normal and does not affect the operation of the phone. Take the phone to a warmer place and try again. In other cases please contact your phone supplier.

Your battery seems to over heat

You might be using a charger that was not intended for use with your phone. Make sure you always use the Philips authentic accessory shipped with your phone.

Your phone doesn't display the phone numbers of incoming calls

This feature is network and subscription dependent. If the network doesn't send the caller's number, the phone will display Call I or Withheld instead. Contact your operator for detailed information on this subject.

You can't send text messages

Some networks don't allow message exchanges with other networks. First check that you have entered the number of your SMS centre, or contact your operator for detailed information on this subject.

You can't receive and/or store JPEG pictures

A picture may not be accepted by your mobile phone if it is too large, if its name is too long, or if it doesn't have the correct file format.

You feel that you have missed some calls

Check your call divert options.

When charging, the battery icon shows no bar and the outline is flashing

Only charge the battery in an environment where the temperature does not go below 0^ C ( 32^ F) or above 50^ C ( 113^ F).

In other cases please contact your phone supplier.

The display shows SIM failure

Check that the SIM card has been inserted correctly. If the problem persists, your SIM card may be damaged. Contact your operator.

When attempting to use a feature in the menu, the display shows NOT ALLOWED

Some features are network dependent. They are only available, therefore, if the network or your subscription supports them. Contact your operator for detailed information on this subject.

Your phone doesn't work well in your car

A car contains many metallic parts that absorb electromagnetic waves which can affect the phone's performance..

Note:

- Check with the local authorities whether or not you are allowed to use the phone while driving.

Your phone is not charging

If the battery is completely flat, it might take several minutes of pre-charge (up to 5 minutes in some cases) before the charging icon is displayed on the screen.

The picture captured with the phone camera is not clear

Make sure that the camera lens on both sides is clean.

Specific Absorption Rate Information

International standards

THIS MOBILE PHONE MEETS THE INTERNATIONAL RECOMMENDATIONS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES

Your mobile phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy defined by the international standards. These recommendations have been established by the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) and, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) that forecast a substantial safety margin for assuring the protection of all persons, regardless of age and health.

The exposure recommendations for mobile phones use a measurement unit known as the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR). The SAR limit recommended by the ICNIRP for the mobile phones used by the general public is 2.0W/kg averaged over ten grams of tissue and, is 1.6W/kg averaged over one gram of tissue by IEEE Std 1528 for the head.

Tests for SAR have been conducted using recommended operating positions with the mobile 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 levels of the mobile phone while operating are generally below the maximum SAR value. This is because the phone is designed to

operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the power required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a base station antenna, the lower the power output.

While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones and at various positions, they all meet the international protection standards for exposure to radio waves.

The highest SAR value for this W3500 model phone when tested for use at ear was 0.475 W/kg and when worn on the body was 0.413W/kg for ICNIRP recommendation.

For limiting the radio waves exposure, it is recommended to reduce the mobile phone call duration or to use a headset. The purpose of those precautions is to take the mobile phone away from the head and the body.
