Preparing Your Phone for Use
Overview

Front

Back
Assembly
You need to do the following to use your phone:
insert the SIM card
attach the battery to the phone
charge the battery
The SIM Card
When you register as a subscriber with a network operator, you get a SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) card. The SIM card contains a computer chip that keeps track of your phone number, the services included in your subscription, and your Phone Book information, among other things.
SIM cards come in two sizes. One is the size of a credit card and the other is smaller. Your phone uses the smaller card. Many credit card-sized SIM cards have a perforated smaller card that you can take out easily. Before you can use your phone, you must insert the SIM card as shown below.

Inserting and Removing the SIM Card

-
Remove the battery if attached. Slide the SIM card into the slot, under the silvery holders, with the golden connectors facing down and the cut corner to the right.
-
Raise the edge of the SIM card and slide it out.
The PIN
Most SIM cards are supplied with a security code, also known as PIN (Personal Identity Number), which you need to access the network. Every time you turn on your phone, you are asked to enter your PIN. You will find your PIN in the information from your operator.
Some operators may have services that require a second PIN, your PIN2.
You should be careful with your PIN, since it is your protection against unauthorized use of your subscription.
If your PIN is entered incorrectly three times in a row, the SIM card is blocked. If this happens, you can unlock it by using your PUK (Personal Unblocking Key code), which you also get from your operator.
The Battery
Your T28 comes with a lithium battery. The battery is not charged when you buy your phone, but there may be enough power to switch the phone on. We recommend that you charge the battery up to three hours before you use the phone for the first time.
Attaching the Battery to Your Phone


- Place the battery on the back of the phone and push until you hear a click.
When to Charge the Battery
The battery that comes with your phone can be charged whenever you wish without affecting its performance. You can also charge the battery when the phone is off.
To remind you that you will soon need to charge the battery or replace it with a charged one:
- an alarm signal (a short beep) sounds and the message Attention! Battery low appears in the display

the indicator light on top of the phone starts flashing red
If you have an Ericsson-approved battery, you can check the remaining talk and standby times in the Status menu by sliding the volume key upwards or downwards in standby mode. You can move downwards in the menu by pressing . The remaining standby and talk times depend on the type of battery you use and your position in the network. Please note that these times are approximate and you may have 20% less time than is shown in the display.
Note! The phone turns itself off when the battery can no longer power it satisfactorily.
Charging the Battery

- Make sure that the battery is attached to the phone.
-
Connect the charger to the mains.
-
Connect the charger to the phone as shown. The flash symbol on the plug must face upwards.
Note! The mains plug may look different depending on the mains socket in your country. Do not connect it to any other item than you Ericsson Travel Charger CTR-10. It must not be separated from the charger when plugged into the mains socket.
To indicate charging:
- the indicator on the top of the phone shows a steady red light (or green, if the phone is switched on)
the message Charging only is shown in the display
the battery meter in the display pulses continuously
Note! If you charge a new battery that is empty, or a battery that has not been used for a long time, it may take a while until you get an indication of charging in the display. Only then can you switch on and use your phone.
An Ericsson-approved battery is indicated by Ericsson Optimized charging each time you start charging the battery when the phone is switched on. For the best charging, talk and standby times in the long run, we recommend that you use only Ericsson-approved batteries with your phone.
Batteries that are not Ericsson-approved are charged slowly for safety reasons. These are indicated by Charging alien battery each time you start charging the battery when the phone is switched on.
Tip! You can use the phone while the battery is being charged. However, this lengthens the charging time.
When the battery is fully charged, the battery meter in the display is full and the indicator on the top of the phone shows a steady green light.
Disconnecting the Charger
Disconnect the charger from the phone by moving the plug upwards.

Removing the Battery

- Slide the release catch upwards.

- Lift the battery away from the phone.
Turning Your Phone On and Off
Turning your Phone on
- Open the flip by pressing the flip release button on the right side of the phone.
- Press and hold the NO key until you hear a tone.
If "PIN:" Appears in the Display
Some SIM cards are protected with a PIN code. If PIN: appears in the display after you have turned on the phone:
- Enter your PIN. If you make a mistake while entering your PIN, erase the wrong number by pressing the C key.
- Press YES.
Note! If your PIN is entered incorrectly three times in a row, the SIM card is blocked. You can unblock it by using your PUK. See "The SIM Card Lock" on page 58.
If 'Phone locked' appears in the display, enter your phone lock code. See "The Phone Lock" on page 59.
Network Search
After you have turned on the phone (and entered your PIN), the phone searches for a network.
When a network is found, the phone beeps three times. The indicator light on top of the phone flashes green once every second and your network operator's name (in most cases abbreviated) appears in the display.
This is called standby mode. You can now make and receive calls.
Note! See "Error Messages" on page 106, if you do not reach standby.
Initial Settings
The first time you turn on your phone, you may want to choose the ring signal type and set the clock and date. For more information about these and other settings, see "Personalizing Your Phone" on page 39.
Display Language
Most modern SIM cards automatically set the display language to the language of the country where you bought your SIM card, (Automatic). If this is not the case, the preset language is English. To change the display language, see "Display Language" on page 43.
If your phone shows a language that you do not understand, you can change it to Automatic, or English, in the following ways:
To change the display language to Automatic
- If not in standby mode, press and hold the NO key to go to standby.
- Press the arrow key.
- Enter 8888.
- Press the arrow key.
To change the display language to English
- If not in standby mode, press and hold the NO key to go to standby.
- Press the arrow key.
- Enter 0000.
- Press the arrow key.
Turning Your Phone Off
- In standby mode, press and hold the NO key until you hear a tone.

T28 Features
Your T28 is a small new generation phone: a Dual Band phone with a lithium battery; a phone of modern design and advanced technology.
The active flip makes it possible for you to answer by just opening the flip. Or why not use the Voice Control and say 'Answer' to answer a call or 'Busy' if you wish to reject the call. You can also call a person by simply saying the name.
The T28 has a 'Profile' feature which makes it possible for you to change a few settings by just choosing a certain Profile, since each profile includes a group of settings preset to suit a certain environment. For example, when you go to a meeting, you can just choose the 'Meeting' profile and a number of settings that suit a meeting are then set automatically.
The Profiles are also related to intelligent accessories such as a desktop charger, a portable or vehicle handsfree. For example, you may place the T28 in a vehicle handsfree kit and the 'In Car' profile is chosen automatically.
In the display of the T28 you can see a mixture of text and symbols, which makes it easier for you to move through the menus when you want to change a certain setting, turn on the Vibrating Alert, send a message, save a number and so on.
An extra feature is the numbered shortcuts, which takes you to a certain setting quickly and easily. You may also create your own favourite menu, 'My Shortcuts', by including the settings you use most often. If you should need help using the menus, the T28 is equipped with help texts to guide you.

Using the Menu
You can find all your phone functions in the menus. You use the menus every time you want to change a setting in your phone, such as the ring signal. You also use the menus to get the most out of your phone: to set the alarm clock, send text messages, save important phone numbers, etc.
The menus are arranged in a loop, which you enter and move (scroll) through with the and keys or by using shortcuts. Each menu contains a list of options. Some menus have sub-menus with additional options.

Your Personal Phone Book
You can create a personal phone book by saving phone numbers and accompanying names (an entry). An easy way to make calls is by recalling the phone numbers or names saved in your phone book.
Creating a Personal Phone Book
Before you start creating your personal phone book, there are a few things you need to know. You need to learn about the memories, how to save the numbers with the international (+) sign and how to enter letters.
Phone Book Memories
You can save phone numbers and names in:
the card memory on the SIM card
the phone memory
Your entries are first saved in the positions on your SIM card. The actual number of memory positions available depends on your SIM card.
Saving your numbers in the card memory allows you to use the numbers saved on the SIM card even when you change phones, i.e. when you insert your SIM card into another phone.
By saving your numbers in the phone memory, they are always available to you in your phone, even if you change SIM cards. The phone memory holds 99 positions in which your entries are saved when all SIM positions are occupied.
International Numbers
If you intend to use your phone both at home and abroad, it is a good idea to save all phone numbers as international phone numbers, i.e. with the (+) sign, (which automatically replaces the international dialling prefix for the country you are calling from) followed by the country code, the area code and the phone number.
To enter an international phone number
- Press and hold 0 to enter the + sign. Exclude the leading zero in the area code.
Entering Letters
You can enter letters when you use the phone book and when you compose a short message (SMS). See "Sending and Receiving Text Messages (SMS)" on page 46.
Press the appropriate key, 1-9, 0 or #, repeatedly until the character you want appears in the display.

Security for Your Phone and Subscription
There are several ways to protect your phone and subscription from unauthorized use. Anything from a SIM card lock to full phone number control.
The SIM Card Lock
The SIM card lock only protects your subscription and not your phone itself from unauthorized use. If you change SIM cards, the phone still works with the new SIM card.
Most SIM cards are locked at the time of purchase. If the SIM card lock is on, you have to enter the PIN (Personal Identity Number) every time you turn on your phone. If you enter your PIN incorrectly three times in a row, the SIM card is blocked. This is indicated by the message PIN blocked. If this happens you need to unblock it to access your subscription.
To unblock your SIM card

Note! This only works if your SIM card allows you to cancel the card lock.
To turn on the SIM card lock
- Scroll to Settings, YES, Locks, YES, Card Lock, YES, Protection, YES, On, YES.
- Enter your PIN and press YES.
The message Locked confirms that the card lock is now on.
The Phone Lock
The phone lock protects the phone against unauthorized use if it is stolen and the SIM card is exchanged. It is not on when you buy the phone. You can change the phone lock code (0000) to any four- to eight-digit personal code.
The phone lock can be On, Automatic or Off.
Phone lock on
If the phone lock is On, the message Phone locked Phone lock code: appears each time you turn on the phone. You have to enter your code followed by YES to use your phone.
Automatic
If the phone lock is set to Automatic, you do not need to enter your phone lock code until a different SIM card is inserted in the phone.

Setting Network Preferences
Searching for Networks
When you turn on the phone, it searches for the last accessed network. If this is not within range, you may use another network, provided your home network has an agreement that allows you to do so. This is called roaming.
The order of preference in which the phone chooses a network is determined by a list of preferred networks on your SIM card. Your phone includes a number of functions that let you determine how it searches for a network. You may also choose a network yourself from those within range.
To select a network

Sending and Receiving Fax and Data Calls
Note! To be able to use various communications services you need the appropriate software such as a fax program, an e-mail program or an Internet browser.
Sending Fax and Data Calls
All fax and data calls are initiated from the appropriate computer software. To send fax and data calls you need to connect your phone to a computer, for example by means of an infrared modem and then start the appropriate software program.
Receiving Fax and Data Calls
The procedure of receiving fax and data calls depends on your network and subscription. If you have different numbers for voice, fax and data calls, this is referred to as multi numbering. This means that you can have up to three numbers in your subscription. If you only have one number for all call types, this is referred to as single numbering.
Receiving Fax and Data Calls - Multi Numbering
If your network and subscription support multi numbering, the type of incoming call is shown in the display. There are two possible calls apart from voice calls:
Fax calls
Data calls
The display shows the type of call.
To receive a fax or data call
- Connect your computer to the phone.
- Answer the call from within the software program (if it does not answer automatically).
Note! You cannot answer an incoming fax or data call by pressing the YES key on the phone but you may reject the call by pressing NO.

Receiving Fax and Data Calls - Single Numbering
If you have a SIM card that does not support separate fax and data numbers, the phone does not recognize the type of incoming call.
Next Incoming Call Type
If you want to receive a fax or data call you have to set the phone to one of these options in the Next Incoming sub-menu. You only see this menu if your phone detects that you do not have separate numbers for data, fax and voice. Once you have set your phone for a specific incoming call, it stays like this until you change it. The normal setting is Voice.
To set the next incoming call type
- Scroll to Call Handling, YES, Next Incoming, YES.
- Select the call type you want (Voice, Data or Fax).

voice dial - call someone by simply saying the name
answer and reject calls using your voice
Before you can use voice dialling, you need to record voice labels to entries in your phone book and the Voice Dialling function needs to be on. See
"Preparing your Phone for Voice Dialling" on page 76. To use voice dialling with the Vehicle Handsfree unit, you need to record the voice labels in the car. Voice labels for phone book entries recorded in the phone will not be available in the car, and vice versa.
The vehicle handsfree can store up to 100 voice labels. The icons for the phone book entries with voice labels saved when connected to a vehicle handsfree kit look slightly different from those that you save in the phone, see margin.
To voice dial using the Vehicle Handsfree
- Slide and hold the volume key (when the flip is closed) or press YES until you hear a tone.
- Release and say a name (voice label) that you recorded in the car earlier. (Use the microphone of the Vehicle Handsfree unit.)
The name is played back to you, and the call is connected.
To answer a call using your voice
See "Voice Answering" on page 78.
Handsfree Types
If you use a Vehicle Handsfree Unit, you can choose between two different ways in which your phone can handle speech. This is done in the Handsfree sub-menu.
Basic Handsfree
Basic Handsfree means that the phone handles the call in semi-duplex mode. This means that you cannot speak at the same time as the person at the other



end of the line. Use this alternative only if Full Handsfree does not work properly.
Full Handsfree
Full Handsfree means that the phone handles the call in full duplex mode. This considerably increases the quality of speech, since you do not have to wait until it is your turn to speak.
For Full Handsfree to work properly, your phone adapts to the sound environment around the handsfree equipment. This adaptation might take a few calls. During this learning phase, the person you are talking to might hear an echo of his or her own voice (because the sound goes from the speaker into the microphone again). However, this disappears as the other person speaks. If the echo lasts longer than the first few calls, try Basic Handsfree instead.
Tip! Set the handsfree type to 'Full Handsfree' first. If speech quality is poor, set the 'Basic Handsfree' type instead.
To set the handsfree type
- Scroll to Settings, YES, Handsfree, YES, Handsfree Type, YES.
- Select the type you want.
Answering Mode
When using a Portable or Vehicle Handsfree unit, you may choose to answer incoming calls with Any Key or Auto.
- Any Key: If you use the phone with handsfree equipment and this function is turned on, you can answer an incoming call by pressing any key, except the NO key.
- Auto: If you choose the automatic answering mode, an incoming call is answered automatically after one ring signal, if the phone is used with handsfree equipment.
To set an answering mode
- Scroll to Settings, YES, Handsfree, YES, Answering Mode, YES.
- Select a mode.
If you choose the Normal alternative, you have to answer calls as normal.
Tip! You can also answer calls by using the Voice Answering function. See "Voice Answering" on page 78.


Infrared modem
With an Ericsson infrared modem you can connect your T28 to a computer via an infrared link. This makes the cable and PC card obsolete.
If you want to use the infrared modem with a computer that is running Windows 95/98/NT 4.0, you can install PC software which allows you to manage the phone book in your mobile phone, send and receive SMS messages, fax and data calls, edit your mobile phone's settings, browse the Internet or connect to your corporate network.

When you have connected the infrared modem to the phone, an icon appears in the display.
Note! For more information, please contact your local Ericsson retailer.
Adding Accessories to a Profile
You can add one or more accessories to a profile. For example, if you usually use a portable handsfree together with a specific desktop charger, you can add the desktop charger to the Port H-free profile. The phone recognizes the first accessory when it is connected and switches profile automatically.
Note! Only profiles associated with accessories can be activated automatically. Apart from the desktop charger and the portable and vehicle handsfree units, you can also add an infrared modem to a profile.
Before you can add an accessory to a profile, you must choose the profile manually to which you want to add the accessory. See "To select a profile manually" on page 89.
To add an accessory to a profile
- Scroll to Settings, YES, Profiles, YES, Accessories, YES.
Now you are in the list of the accessories which have already been added to the profile. - Select Add accessory?.
Now you are in the list of all accessories that you can add to the profile. - Select an accessory.
- The question Automatic activation on? appears, if automatic activation is not on already.
Press YES to turn automatic activation on, which means that the profile will be chosen automatically when the accessory is connected.
Note! In addition to the portable and vehicle handsfree units, you can add another 12 accessories to a profile. Any accessory above this number will work as ordinary non-profile accessories. You cannot have the same accessory associated with several profiles.
To remove an accessory from a profile
- Scroll to Settings, YES, Profiles, YES, Accessories, YES.
- Scroll to the accessory that you want to remove and press C.
- Delete? appears. Press YES.
Online Services
Imagine that you hear about a new service that your network operator is offering. You call your operator, explain that you want to subscribe to the service and suddenly, within seconds, you have a new menu in your phone that instantly lets you use the new service.
You do not need upgraded software for your phone, but you may need to visit your network operator to get a new SIM card. The rest is all taken care of over the air.
This is just one example of the added value services that are made possible through the 'Online Services'.
Note! The T28 does not support all services offered by the Online Services.
What is Online Services?
The Online Services is the network operators' way of offering customized services, independently of mobile phones and mobile phone manufacturers.
Compatibility
Added value services based on the Online Services require two things in order to work:
- a mobile phone that supports the Online Services. Your Ericsson T28 is such a phone.
a network operator offering the Online Services.
Note! The Online Services on the SIM are designed and run by network operators and not by mobile phone manufacturers. If you require further information about the Online Services, please contact your network operator.
New Menu
A SIM card which supports the Online Services works in the same way as a normal SIM card.
When you have inserted your SIM card and turned on your phone, your network operator may download data to your SIM card. After the first data download and after restarting your phone, the proactive SIM offers a new
menu in the phone. The menu offers you new features and services, which can be used instantly.
On your T28, this menu appears under the Extras menu. There can only be one new sub-menu entry under the main menu, but there can be several sub-menus under the new sub-menu entry.
To enter your new menu system
- Scroll to Extras, YES, Online Services, YES.
If any sub-menus appear, select the one that you want and press YES. - Press NO to go back to the standby menu.
Note! Some operators may not use the name Online Services for this menu. Please consult your network operator for more information.
Proactive SIM
The Online Services provides a proactive SIM. This means that the SIM can tell the phone to take certain actions. These actions could include:
showing text from the SIM in the phone's display
- setting up a call to a number on the SIM
initiating a dialogue with the user
Note! All these actions are taken by the SIM card and, consequently, they have nothing to do with the phone's software.
Data Download to the SIM over the Air
Your network operator may at any time download new data to your SIM card over the air. This new data could consist of new features or a new menu.
Resetting your SIM Card
When the operator updates your SIM card over the air, the phone notifies you by showing a message in your display. You also hear a beep.
In order for your new SIM settings to take effect, you have to turn off your phone and then turn it on again.
Note! After a data download the phone may not work and you will not be able to use it until you restart it. This feature is operator dependent and will probably not happen very often.
SIM Card Initiated Features
The SIM card may prompt you to make a call. This could happen even if you are already engaged in a call.
When this happens, the phone will notify you by producing a sound and showing a message in the display.
- If you are not engaged in a call, a message is shown in the display, asking you whether you want to confirm and make the SIM card initiated call.
If you want to make the SIM card initiated call, press YES.
If you do not want to make the SIM card initiated call, press NO.
- If you are already engaged in a call, you are asked either to put the current call on hold or to end it.
A message appears in the display, asking you whether you want to confirm and make the SIM card initiated call.
If you want to make the SIM card initiated call, press YES.
- If you do not want to make the SIM card initiated call, (you may want to continue with the ongoing call) press NO.
Send a SIM Card Initiated SMS
The SIM card may set up an SMS (text message) and ask you to send this message, for example by the question Send now?. Press YES if you want to send the SMS.
Details of Services Offered
All services and functions that come with the Online Services are network dependent. Please contact your network operator for details of services offered by the Online Services.

The Ericsson T28 is a dual band phone, which means that you can use your phone on two different kinds of networks - the GSM 900 and the GSM 1800 (also called PCN or DCS 1800) systems.
A dual band phone that combines the two standards can use both frequencies. This increases capacity in densely populated urban areas, and consequently improves the coverage offered by your network operator. It also offers you enhanced international roaming, thanks to the additional networks now available when you are out travelling.
The switching between the two systems is done automatically and seamlessly, which means that you can use your phone without ever having to consider
which system is best at the time. This is taken care of by the networks.
However, you should note that the functions offered and the network coverage differ depending on your choice of operator and/or subscription.

Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use
Note! Read this information before using your mobile phone.
Product Care and Maintenance
Your mobile phone is a highly sophisticated electronic device. To get the most out of your mobile phone read this text about product care, safe and efficient use.
Product Care
- Keep your mobile phone dry.
- Avoid exposing your mobile phone to extreme hot or cold temperatures.
- Avoid placing your mobile phone close to lit candles, cigarettes, naked flames or any heat source.
- As with all sophisticated electronic devices rough treatment could damage your mobile phone.
Only use a soft damp cloth to clean your mobile phone. - Do not paint your mobile phone as the paint could obstruct the earphone, microphone or any moveable parts and prevent normal use.
- Do not attempt to disassemble your mobile phone, a broken warranty seal will void the warranty. The phone does not contain consumer serviceable components. Service should only be performed by Certified Service Partners.
- Only use Ericsson original accessories. Failure to do so may result in loss of performance, damage to the phone, fire, electric shock or injury. The warranty does not cover product failures which have been caused by use of non-Ericsson original accessories.
- Treat your mobile phone with care, keep it in a clean and dust free place.
Antenna Care and Replacement
- To avoid impaired performance please ensure your mobile phone's antenna is not bent or damaged.
-
Do not remove the antenna yourself. If your phone's antenna is damaged please take it to a Certified Service Partner.
-
Only use an antenna that has been specifically designed for your phone. Unauthorised antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage the phone and may violate the appropriate regulations causing loss of performance and radio frequency (RF) energy above the recommended limits.
Efficient Phone Operation
To enjoy optimum performance with minimum power consumption please:
- Hold the phone as you would any other telephone. While speaking directly into the mouthpiece, angle the antenna in a direction up and over your shoulder. If the antenna is extendable/retractable, it should be extended during a call.
- Do not hold the antenna when the phone is in use. Holding the antenna affects call quality, may cause the phone to operate at a higher power level than needed and shorten talk and standby times. If your mobile phone is equipped with an infrared eye, never direct the infrared ray at anyone's eye and make sure that it does not disturb any other infrared units.
Radio Frequency Energy
Your mobile phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. When the phone is turned on, it receives and transmits radio frequency (RF) energy. Depending on the type of mobile phone you possess, it operates on different frequency ranges and employs commonly used modulation techniques. The system that handles your call when you are using your phone controls the power level at which your phone transmits.
Exposure to Radio Frequency Energy
The International Commission on Non-Ionising Radiation Protection (ICNIRP), supported by the World Health Organisation (WHO), published during 1996 a statement and in 1998 guidelines which set recommended limits for exposure to RF fields from handheld mobile telephones. According to ICNIRP statement, which is based on the available body of research, there is no evidence that mobile terminals meeting the recommended limits can cause any adverse health effects. All Ericsson telephones conform to the ICNIRP guidelines and other international exposure standards, such as:
- CENELEC European Pre-standard ENV50166-2:1995 (Europe)
ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1992 (USA, Asia-Pacific)
AS/NZS 2772.1 (Int):1998 (Australia, New Zealand)
Driving
Check the laws and regulations on the use of mobile phones in the areas where you drive. If you are going to use your phone while driving, please:
Give full attention to driving.
- Use an Ericsson Vehicle Handsfree Solution, if available. Law in many countries requires vehicle Handsfree Solution. Read the installation instructions carefully before installing a vehicle Handsfree Solution.
Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving conditions so require.
RF energy may affect some electronic systems in motor vehicles such as car stereo, safety equipment etc. In addition, some vehicle manufacturers do not allow use of mobile phones, unless the installation is supported by a handsfree kit with an external antenna, in their vehicles. Check with your vehicle manufacturer's representative to be sure that your mobile phone will not affect the electronic systems in your vehicle.
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.
Electronic Devices
Most modern electronic equipment, for example equipment in hospitals and cars, is shielded from RF energy. However, certain electronic equipment is not, therefore:
- Do not use your mobile phone near medical equipment without requesting permission.
Mobile phones may affect the operation of some implanted cardiac pacemakers and other medically implanted equipment. Pacemaker patients should be aware that the use of a mobile phone very close to a pacemaker might cause the device to malfunction. Avoid placing the phone over the pacemaker, i.e. in your breast pocket. When using the phone, place it at your ear opposite the pacemaker. If a minimum distance of 15cm is kept between the phone and the pacemaker, the risk of interference is limited. If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, immediately turn off your phone.
Contact your cardiologist for more information.
Some hearing aids might be disturbed by mobile phones. In the event of such disturbance, you may want to consult your service provider, or call the customer services line to discuss alternatives.
Aircraft
- Turn off your mobile phone before boarding any aircraft.
- Do not use it on the ground without crew permission.
To prevent interference with communication systems, you must not use your mobile phone while the plane is in the air.
Blasting Areas
Turn off your mobile phone when in a blasting area or in areas posted "turn off two-way radio" to avoid interfering with blasting operations. Construction crews often use remote control RF devices to set off explosives.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Turn off your mobile phone when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere. It is rare, but your phone or its accessories could generate sparks. 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, clearly marked. They include fuelling areas, such as petrol stations, below deck on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities, and areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders.
Do not transport or store flammable gas, liquid, or explosives in the compartment of your vehicle, which contains your mobile phone and accessories.
Power Supply
- Connect AC (Power supply) only to designated power sources as marked on the product.
- To reduce risk of damage to the electric cord, remove it from the outlet by holding onto the AC adapter rather than the cord.
- Make sure the cord is positioned so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over or otherwise subjected to damage or stress.
- To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug the unit from any power source before attempting to clean it.
The charger must not be used outdoors or in damp areas.
Children
Do not allow children to play with your mobile phone since it contains small parts that could become detached and create a choking hazard.
Emergency Calls
IMPORTANT!
This 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 (for example medical emergencies).
Remember, in order to make or receive calls the 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 phone features are in use. Check with your local service provider.
Battery Information
New Batteries
The battery delivered with your phone is not fully charged.
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 period of time could have reduced capacity the first few times it is being used.
- The talk and standby times depend on the actual transmission conditions when using the phone. If the phone is used nearby a base station less power is required and talk and standby times are prolonged.
- Use only Ericsson original batteries and the AC/DC adapter supplied with your battery charger. Using non original Ericsson accessories could be dangerous and the warranty does not cover product failures which have been caused by use of non-Ericsson original accessories.
- Do not expose your battery to extreme temperatures, never above +60^ (+140^) . For maximum battery capacity use your battery in room temperature. If the battery is used in cold temperatures the battery capacity will be reduced.
