Safety and use ............................We recommend that you read this chapter carefully before using your cellphone. Themanufacturer disclaims any liability for damage, which may result as a consequence of improper useor use contrary to the instructions contained herein.•TRAFFIC SAFETY:Given that studies show that using a cellphone while driving a vehicle constitutes a real risk, evenwhen the hands-free kit is used (car kit, headset...), drivers are requested to refrain from usingtheir cellphone when the vehicle is not parked. Check the laws and regulations on the use ofwireless telephones and their accessories in the areas where you drive. Always obey them. Theuse of these devices may be prohibited or restricted in certain areas.When driving, do not use your cellphone and headphone to listen to music or to the radio. Usinga headphone can be dangerous and forbidden in some areas.When switched on, your cellphone emits electromagnetic waves that can interfere with thevehicle’s electronic systems such as ABS anti-lock brakes or airbags. To ensure that there is noproblem:- do not place your cellphone on top of the dashboard or within an airbag deployment area,- check with your car dealer or the car manufacturer to make sure that the car’s electronicdevices are shielded from cellphone RF energy.•CONDITIONS OF USE:You are advised to switch off the cellphone from time to time to optimize its performance.Switch the cellphone off before boarding an aircraft to avoid prosecution.Switch the cellphone off when you are in health care facilities, except in designated areas. As withmany other types of equipment now in regular use, cellphones can interfere with other electricalor electronic devices, or equipment using radio frequency.Switch the cellphone off when you are near gas or flammable liquids. Strictly obey all signs andinstructions posted in a fuel depot, gas station, or chemical plant, or in any potentially explosiveatmosphere.When the cellphone is switched on, it should be kept at least 15 cm from any medical device suchas a pacemaker, a hearing aid or insulin pump. In particular when using the cellphone you shouldhold it against the ear on the opposite side to the device, if any.To avoid hearing impairment, answer the call before holding your cellphone to your ear. Alsomove the handset away from your ear while using the “hands-free” option because the amplifiedvolume might cause hearing damage.Do not let small children use your cellphone without supervision.When replacing the cover please note that your cellphone may contain substances that couldcreate an allergic reaction.Always handle your cellphone with care and keep it in a clean and dust-free place.Do not allow your cellphone to be exposed to adverse weather or environmental conditions(moisture, humidity, rain, infiltration of liquids, dust, sea air, etc.). The manufacturer’srecommended operating temperature range is -10°C to +55°C (the max value depends on device,materials and housing paint/texture). Over 55°C the legibility of the cellphone’s display may beimpaired, though this is temporary and not serious.411 Media album ................................................................5311.1 My audio ..............................................................................................5311.2 My images............................................................................................5311.3 Unknown files ....................................................................................5411.4 Managing audio and images ............................................................5411.5 Compatible formats ..........................................................................5511.6 Memory status....................................................................................5512 Entertainment..............................................................5612.1 Games ..................................................................................................5612.2 Game settings ....................................................................................5612.3 FM Radio..............................................................................................5613 Latin input mode/character table..............................5914 Telephone warranty ....................................................6315 Accessories ..................................................................6516 Troubleshooting ..........................................................663215-218_UM_USA_26-12-08:215-218_UM_USA_26-12-08 26/12/08 9:53 Page 3

It is designed and manufactured not to exceedthe emission limits for exposure to radio-frequency (RF) energy. These limits are part ofcomprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population.The guidelines are based on standards that were developed by independent scientific organizationsthrough periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. These guidelines include asubstantial safety margin designed to ensure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.The exposure standard for cellphones employs a unit of measurement known as the SpecificAbsorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by public authorities such as the FederalCommunications Commission of the US Government (FCC), or by Industry Canada, is 1.6 W/kgaveraged over 1 gram of body tissue. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operatingpositions with the cellphone transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequencybands.Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of thecellphone while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the cellphone isdesigned to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the power required to reach thenetwork. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the poweroutput of the cellphone Before a cellphone model is available for sale to the public, compliancewith national regulations and standards must be shown.The highest SAR value for this model cellphone when tested is 1.19 W/Kg for use at the ear and1.4 W/Kg for use close to the body.While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various cellphones and at variouspositions, they all meet the government requirement for RF exposure. For body-worn operation,the cellphone meets FCC RF exposure guidelines provided that it is used with a non-metallicaccessory with the handset at least 1.5 cm from the body. Use of other accessories may not ensurecompliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines.The World Health Organization (WHO) considers that present scientific information does notindicate the need for any special precautions for use of cellphones. If individuals are concerned,they might choose to limit their own or their children's RF exposure by limiting the length of calls,or using "hands-free" devices to keep cellphones away from the head and body. (fact sheet n°193).Additional WHO information about electromagnetic fields and public health are available on thefollowing website: http://www.who.int/peh-emf.Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digitaldevice pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonableprotection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, usesand can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with theinstructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is noguarantee that interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turningthe equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one ormore of the following measures:7215-218_UM_USA_26-12-08:215-218_UM_USA_26-12-08 26/12/08 9:53 Page 7
