Standby and
Talk Time Information
The mobile phone incorporates features
that are new to the mobile phone world.
These may include color displays and
lighting, graphic games, music reproduc-
tion and browsing the Internet. The way
you use the display and the features will
affect the performance of the battery and
how long it lasts between charge cycles.
The quoted standby times and talk times
show the minimum and maximum per-
formance that can be expected from the
battery under normal network conditions
and with the default settings as set by the
factory. However, playing games (particu-
larly with the backlight continuously
switched on) and listening to music will
shorten the time available for standby
and to make and receive telephone calls.
Operation times also vary depending on
network conditions, SIM settings, charg-
ing and battery condition, how you use
your phone and other factors.
Memory
The mobile phone contains an internal
memory device that stores the software
required to operate the mobile phone,
communicate with the GSM/GPRS net-
work and provide the user interface.
Some features in the internal memory
run additional devices and some addition-
al games and utilities. The amount of
memory available in the mobile phone is
finite and may be insufficient to store
large numbers of applications and files.
Warning!
Remember to back up your data and to do so fre-
quently. Always back up all data and programs
before sending the mobile phone in for repair.

Safety precautions
Information for parents
Please read the operating instructions and safety precautions carefully before use.
Explain the content and the hazards associated with using the phone to your children.
Remember to comply with le-
gal requirements and local re-
strictions when using the
phone. For example in
aeroplanes, petrol stations,
hospitals or while driving.
Cellular phones can interfere
with the functioning of medi-
cal devices such as hearing
aids or pacemakers. Keep at
least 9 inches (20 cm)
between phone and pace-
maker. When using the cell
phone hold it to the ear which
is farthest from the pacemak-
er. For more information con-
sult your doctor.
The ringtone, info tones and
speakerphone talking are re-
produced through the loud-
speaker. Do not hold the
phone to your ear when it
rings or when you have
switched on the speaker-
phone function. Otherwise
you risk serious, permanent
damage to your hearing.
Only use original batteries
(100 % mercury-free) and –
charging devices. Otherwise
you risk serious damage to
health and property. The bat-
tery could explode, for in-
stance.
Do not use a handheld while
driving.
Small parts such as the SIM
card, sealing stop, lens ring
and lens cap can be disman-
tled and swallowed by small
children. The phone must
therefore be stored out of the
reach of small children.
The mains voltage specified
on the power supply unit (V)
must not be exceeded. Other-
wise the charging device may
be destroyed.
The power supply must be
plugged into an easily accessi-
ble AC mains power socket
when charging the battery.
The only way to turn off the
charging device after charg-
ing the battery is to unplug it.
Permanent hearing loss may
occur if you use ear- or head-
phones at high volume.You
can adapt over time to a high-
er volume, which may sound
normal but can be damaging
to your hearing. Set your vol-
ume to a safe level. If you ex-
perience ringing in your ears,
reduce the volume or discon-
tinue use of your system.

Template: X75, Version 2.1; VAR Language: am; VAR issue date: 050711
Antenna care
Use only the supplied or an approved re-
placement antenna. Unauthorized anten-
nas, modifications, or attachments could
damage the phone and may 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.
Tips on efficient operation
For your phone to operate most
efficiently:
Extend your antenna fully
(if applicable).
Do not touch the antenna unnecessari-
ly when the phone is in use. Contact
with the antenna affects call quality
and may cause the phone to operate at
a higher power level than otherwise
needed.
Driving
Laws pertaining to the use of mobile
phones while driving vary significantly from
state to state and sometimes even from lo-
cality to locality within states. For example,
some areas may allow persons to use their
mobile phones only if they employ a hands-
free device, and some areas may prohibit
the use of cell phones entirely. Accordingly,
BenQ recommends that persons check the
laws for the areas in which they drive or will
be driving. For areas where the use of mo-
bile phones while driving is permitted,
BenQ encourages persons to use their
phones responsibly and to employ hands-
free devices. Also, if using your phone while
driving, please:
Give full attention to driving – driving
safely is your first responsibility;
Use hands-free operation, if available;
Pull off the road and park before mak-
ing or answering a call, if driving condi-
tions so require.
For vehicles equipped with air bags
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 deploy-
ment area. If in-vehicle wireless equipment
is improperly installed and the air bag in-
flates, serious injury could result.
Important
Read this information before using your
wireless handheld phone.
As this mobile phone is equipped with a
fixed (non-retractable) antenna, some
paragraphs in the text below may not be
applicable.

Template: X75, Version 2.1; VAR Language: am; VAR issue date: 050711
Electronic devices
Most modern electronic equipment is
shielded from radio frequency (RF) sig-
nals. However, certain electronic equip-
ment may not be shielded against the RF
signals from your wireless phone.
Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers' Associ-
ation recommends that a minimum separa-
tion of six inches (6") be maintained be-
tween a handheld wireless phone and a
pacemaker to avoid potential interference
with the pacemaker. These recommenda-
tions are consistent with the independent
research by and recommendations of Wire-
less 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 pace-
maker to minimize the potential for in-
terference;
should turn the phone OFF immediate-
ly if there is any reason to suspect that
interference is taking place.
Hearing aids
Some digital wireless phones may
interfere with some hearing aids. In the
event of such interference, you may want
to consult your service provider or your
hearing aid manufacturer to discuss alter-
natives.
Other medical devices
If you use any other personal medical de-
vices, consult the manufacturers of your
devices to determine if they are ade-
quately shielded from external RF energy.
Your physician may be able to assist you
in obtaining this information.
Turn your phone OFF in health care facili-
ties when any regulations posted in these
areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or
health care facilities may be using equip-
ment that could be sensitive to external
RF energy.
Vehicles
RF signals may affect improperly installed
or inadequately shielded electronic sys-
tems in motor vehicles. Check with the
manufacturer or its representative regard-
ing 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.
Airplanes
FCC and Airline Regulations prohibit using
your phone while in the air. Turn your
phone OFF when requested by the airline.
Check and comply with the policy of your
airline regarding the use of your phone
while the airplane is on the ground.
Blasting areas
To avoid interfering with blasting opera-
tions, turn your phone OFF when in a
“blasting area” or in areas posted: “Turn
off two-way radio.” Obey all signs and in-
structions.

Template: X75, Version 2.1; VAR Language: am; VAR issue date: 050711
Potentially explosive atmospheres
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 ex-
plosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or
even death.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmo-
sphere 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 facili-
ties; vehicles using liquefied petroleum
gas (such as propane or butane); areas
where the air contains chemicals or parti-
cles, such as grain, dust or metal pow-
ders; and any other area where you
would normally be advised to turn off
your vehicle engine.
Emergency calls (SOS)
Your wireless phone can be used to make
emergency calls. You can make an emer-
gency call from the main display screen.
Enter the local emergency number such
as 911 and then press the
A
key.
This phone, like any wireless phone, oper-
ates using radio signals, wireless and
landline networks, and user-pro-
grammed functions. Because of this, con-
nections in all conditions cannot be guar-
anteed. Therefore, you should never rely
solely on any wireless phone for essential
communications (for example, medical
emergencies). Remember – to make or
receive any calls, the phone must be
switched on and be used in a service area
that has adequate signal strength. Emer-
gency calls might not be possible on all
wireless phone networks or when certain
network services or phone features are in
use. Check with local service providers re-
garding their network features.
Always make certain that your phone is
properly charged before attempting any
emergency calls. If you allow your battery
to discharge, you will be unable to receive
or make calls, including emergency calls.
You must then wait a few minutes after
the charging begins to place any
emergency calls.
When making an emergency call,
remember to give all of the necessary in-
formation as accurately as possible. Re-
member that your wireless phone might
be the only means of communication at
the scene of an accident, therefore you
should not terminate the call until given
permission to do so.
Batteries and Chargers
Only use original batteries (100% mer-
cury-free) and charging devices. Use of
non-original batteries and/or charging
devices may cause explosion resulting in
serious injury and/or property damage.
Use original accessories in order to avoid
possible injury and property damage and
to ensure compliance with applicable
laws and regulations. Improper use invali-
dates the warranty.
