SAFETY INFORMATION

For your safety, please read the guidelines below carefully before you use your phone:

Exposure to Radio Frequency Signals

Max. SAR measurement: GSM900: 1.22 W/Kg; DCS1800: 0.065 W/Kg.

Your wireless handheld portable telephone is a low power transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it receives and also sends out radio frequency (RF) signals.

European and international agencies have set standards and recommendations for the protection of public exposure to RF electromagnetic energy.

International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) 1996
- Verband Deutscher Elektringenieure (VDE) DIN-0848
- Directives of the European Community, Directorate General V in Matters of Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Energy
- National Radiological Protection Board of the United Kingdom, GS 11, 1988
American National Standards Institute (ANSI) IEEE. C95.1- 1992
- National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP). Report 86
Department of Health and Welfare Canada. Safety Code 6

These standards are based on extensive scientific review. For example, over 120 scientists, engineers and physicians from universities, government health agencies and industry reviewed the available body of research to develop the updated ANSI Standard.

The design of your phone complies with these standards when used normally.

Antenna Care

Use only the supplied or approved replacement antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications or attachments may damage the phone and violate FCC regulations.

Phone Operation

Normal Position: Hold the phone as you would any other telephone with the antenna pointed up and over your shoulder.

For your phone to operate most efficiently, do not touch the antenna unnecessarily when the phone is in use. Contact with the antenna affects call quality and may cause the phone to operate at higher power level than otherwise needed.

Batteries

All batteries can cause property damage, injury or burns if a conductive material such as jewelry, keys or beaded chains touches exposed terminals. The material may complete electrical circuit and become quite hot. To protect against such unwanted current drain, exercise care in handling any charged battery, particularly when placing it inside your pocket, purse or other container with metal objects. When battery is detached from the phone, your batteries are packed with a protective battery cover; please use this cover for storing your batteries when not in use.

Driving

Check the laws and regulations on the use of wireless telephones in the areas where you drive. Always obey them. Also, if using your phone while driving, please:

  • Give full attention to driving--driving safety is your first responsibility.
  • Use hands-free operation, if available.
  • Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving conditions so require.

Electronic Devices

Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF signals. However, certain electronic equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals from your wireless phone.

Pacemakers

The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum separation of six (6") inches be maintained between a handheld wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with the independent research by and recommendations of Wireless Technology Research.

Persons with pacemakers:

  • Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than six inches from their pacemaker when the phone is turned ON.
  • Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket.
  • Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for interference.

If you have any reason to suspect that the interference is taking place, turn your phone OFF immediately.

Hearing Aids

Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of such interference you may want to consult your hearing aid manufacturer to discuss alternatives.

Other Medical Devices

If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of your device to determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this information.

Turn your phone OFF in health care facilities when any regulations posted in these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment that could be sensitive to external RF energy.

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 notice so require.

Aircraft

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

Blasting Areas

To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your phone OFF when in a "blasting area" or in area posted "TURN OFF TWO-WAY RADIO". Obey all signs and instructions.

Potentially Explosive Atmospheres

Turn your phone OFF and do not remove the battery when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere and obey all signs and instructions. Sparks, from your battery, 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 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 both 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.

What is PIN?

PIN (Personal Identification Number) is a password provided by your network operator. Once activated, your PIN protects your SIM card from being used by unauthorized people, even if it is inserted in another phone, unless the correct PIN is given the moment the phone is switched on. This PIN check prevents a thief from making calls and accessing network services at your expense and protects the information in your phonebook if your phone with your SIM inserted is stolen.

To disable the PIN check, go to menu: Settings --> Security settings -- > Set PIN1.

BENQ M555C - What is PIN? - 1

  • If you have entered a wrong PIN three times in a row, your SIM card will be blocked. To unblock the SIM card, you need to enter the PUK (Personal Unblocking Key) of the card. Please call the operator, and ask for PUK.
  • Your phone can only be used to make emergency calls when your SIM card is locked.

  • Once your PIN is accepted, the phone starts searching for your designated network automatically, as "Searching network" indicates. This may take a few seconds. When receiving network signals successfully, the phone gives out a ring tone with its screen showing the network you connect to, then goes into idle mode.
    If network services are not available, no signal level is displayed on the screen.
    Your phone will not display signal strength when receiving signals from a network you do not have access to. You can make emergency calls, though.

Listening to a voicemail

When your voicemail box receives a voicemail, your operator gives you a call or sends you an SMS alert (i.e. a text message) to remind you of the waiting voicemail.

BENQ M555C - Listening to a voicemail - 1

You can ask your operator to alert you to a waiting voicemail either by a telephone call or by a text message. Please go to menu: Messages Voicemail Voicemail settings. See page 87. However, some operators do not allow users to choose how to be alerted.

Depending on how you are alerted, you can respond to the waiting voicemail in one of the following scenarios:

  1. If your operator sends you an SMS alert to inform you of a waiting voicemail, and the text of the SMS alert sent by your operator matches the text of the SMS alert previously stored in your phone--this is called Alert Match--your phone will recognize this SMS alert as a reminder of a new voicemail and the prompt screen as above will pop up. To listen to the voicemail, simply press (SELECT) and your phone will automatically dial the voicemail box number for you. If you do not want to listen to the voicemail at this point, press (EXIT) to return to the previous screen. Then the voicemail icon ( ) will appear to remind you of the waiting voice mail.

BENQ M555C - Listening to a voicemail - 2

The rationale of the Alert Match feature is that, once you've got an SMS alert from your operator saying that you have a waiting voicemail, you can

press (SELECT) directly to listen to the voicemail, instead of having to return to the idle screen to dial your voicemail box number digit by digit.

BENQ M555C - Listening to a voicemail - 3

To successfully use the Alert Match feature, you must save your operator's SMS alert in advance. Please do so in the menu option: Messages Voicemail Voicemail settings Alert match. See page 88.

Alternatively, you can go to the menu: Messages Voicemail Get voicemail to make a voicemail call. See more details on page 86.
  2. You can also set up a number key other than Doo as the speed dial key for your voicemail box number. Then you can long press this number key from the idle screen to call your voicemail box. For how to set up a speed dial key, see Speed dial on page 66.

Your network operator provides your voicemail box number as well as the numbers for accessing other voicemail services they have. Please check with your operator for details of their voicemail services and see if you need to set up your voicemail box by saving particular numbers to your phone.

BENQ M555C - Voicemail - 2

To set up your voicemail box, go to Voicemail settings. See details on page 87.

Listening to a voicemail

When your voicemail box receives a voicemail, your operator gives you a call or sends you an SMS alert to remind you of the waiting voicemail. If the text of the SMS alert sent by your operator matches the text of the SMS alert previously stored in your phone--this is called Alert Match--your phone will recognize this SMS alert as a reminder of a new voicemail and a prompt screen showing "New voicemail" will pop up.

To listen to the voicemail simply press (SELECT) and your phone will automatically dial your voicemail box number for you. Press (EXIT) to return to the previous screen if you don't want to call the voicemail box, then the voicemail icon ( ) will appear on the screen.

BENQ M555C - Voicemail - 3

The rationale of the Alert Match feature is that, once you've got an SMS alert from your operator saying that you have a waiting voicemail, you can press (SELECT) directly to listen to the voicemail, instead of having to return to the idle screen to dial your voicemail box number digit by digit.

BENQ M555C - Voicemail - 4

To set up the Alert Match feature, you must save your operator's SMS alert in advance. Please do so in Voicemail settings Alert match. See page 88.

Alternatively, if the text of the operator's SMS does not match the text of the SMS alert stored in the Alert match option, or if your operator calls you to inform you of a new voicemail, you can access your voicemail by selecting Voicemail ---> Get voicemail, or long press 0ae directly from the idle screen.

You can also set up a number key as a speed dial key for your voicemail box number. For how to set up a speed dial key, see Speed dial on page 66.

Voicemail settings

You can use the following options in Voicemail ---> Voicemail settings to determine how your voicemail box works:

Box numbers

Here you can store your voicemail box number as well as the numbers controlling the voicemail feature:

Home Mbox: This is your voicemail box number that you dial to listen to a voicemail.
- Roam Mbox: This is the number you dial to listen to a voicemail when roaming on another network.
■ Voice no.: This is the number you dial to request the operator to give you a call upon receiving a new voicemail.
■ Message no.: This is the number you dial to request the operator to send you an SMS alert upon receiving a voicemail.
■ Disable no.: This is the number you dial to disable the voicemail feature.
■ Enable no.: This is the number you dial to enable the voicemail feature.

When these numbers have been set correctly, you can check your voicemails, turn the voicemail feature on or off, or change the way of the voicemail notification simply by selecting the respective menu option. Your phone will automatically dial the number you set up for each option to inform your operator of your choice.

Alert by call

Here you can request your operator to inform you of a new voicemail with a telephone call. Select this option and your phone will automatically dial the number previously stored in Box numbers --> Voice no..

Alert by SMS

Here you can request your operator to inform you of a new voicemail with a SMS alert. Select this option and your phone will automatically dial the number previously stored in Box numbers --> Message no..

Alert match

If it is not already set, you can manually store the SMS alert to match the one sent by your operator when a new voicemail is received. To do so turn the voicemail feature on and set the alert mode to Alert by SMS, then ring your phone using another phone and leave yourself a voicemail message. Your operator will then send an SMS alert saying that a new voicemail is waiting. Jot down the SMS alert and come to this Alert match option to enter and save the SMS alert. It is not necessary to enter the whole message, just enough of it to provide a reliable match for your phone to identify an SMS message as an SMS alert for a new voicemail.

If the text of the SMS alert varies according to the number of voicemails the network is holding for you--for example it may sometimes read "1 new voice mail" and at other times read "2 new voice mails"-you can set a wildcard in the Alert match option by inserting a "?". And the SMS alert you enter will be like "? new voice message." Your phone can then use this saved message to identify the SMS alert sent by your operator.

Activating/deactivating the voicemail feature

You can request your operator to activate the voicemail feature by selecting Voicemail ---> Voicemail on. Your phone will call your operator by dialing the number saved in Voicemail settings ---> Box numbers ---> Enable no..

Select Voicemial off to ask your operator to deactivate the voicemail feature. Your phone will call your operator by dialing the number saved in Voicemail settings --> Box numbers --> Disable no..
