Safety
The use of mobile phones
is not allowed in some
radiation sensitive areas, such
as hospitals, research centres
and airplanes. The user is
responsible to power-off the
device. If there is any
uncertainty, the battery
should be removed.
Aircraft safety
● Switch off your phone and
remove its battery when
inside or near aircraft. The
use of handsets in aircraft is
illegal. It may be dangerous
to the operation of the
aircraft and it may disrupt
the cellular network. Failure
to observe this instruction
may lead to suspension or
denial of cellphone service
to the offender, or legal
action, or both.
● Do not use the handset on
the ground without the
permission of the
ground staff.
Hospital safety
● Switch off your phone and
remove its battery in areas
where the use of handsets
is prohibited. Follow the
instructions given by the
respective medical facility
regarding the use of
handsets on their premises.
General safety
● Observe “Turn off mobile”
signs, such as those near
petrol stations, chemicals
or explosives and turn off
handset/device.
● If you have a heart condition,
be careful with the settings of
call vibration or tone volume.
● Do not allow children to
play with the handset,
charger or batteries.
● Do not use the handset
where blasting is in progress.
● The operation of some
medical electronic devices,
such as hearing aids and
pacemakers, may be affected
if a handset is used next to
them. Observe any warning
signs and the manufacturer’s
recommendations.
● Do not leave the battery
pack empty or disconnected
for a long time, otherwise
some data may be initialized.
● Your phone contains metal
which may cause you an itch,
a rash or eczema depending
on your constitution or
physical condition.
● Take care not to put your
phone in the back pocket of
your trousers or skirt and
then sit on it. Also, do not put
your phone at the bottom of
a bag where it may be
subject to excessive weight
or pressure. Doing so may
damage the LCD and
camera lens and cause
them to malfunction.
Road safety
● You MUST exercise proper
control of your vehicle at
all times. Give your full
attention to driving.
● Observe all of the
recommendations contained
in your local traffic safety
documentation.
● Pull off the road and park
before making or answering
a call if driving conditions
so require.
A message from your handset manufacturer NEC
(continued from previous page)
● You MUST NOT stop on the
hard shoulder of a motorway
to answer or make a call,
except in an emergency.
● Switch off your handset at
a refuelling point, such as a
petrol station, even if you are
not refuelling your own car.
● Do not store or carry
flammable or explosive
materials in the same
compartment as a
radio transmitter.
● Electronic vehicle systems,
such as anti-lock brakes,
speed control and fuel
injection systems are
not normally affected by
radio transmissions. The
manufacturer of such
equipment can advise if it
is adequately shielded
from radio transmissions.
If you suspect vehicle
problems caused by radio
transmissions consult your
dealer and do not switch on
the handset until it has been
checked by qualified
approved installers.
● Check if local laws and/or
regulations restrict the use
of handsets while driving.
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.
Third party equipment
The use of third party
equipment, cables or
accessories, not made or
authorised by NEC, may
invalidate the warranty of your
handset and also adversely
affect the handset’s operation.
For example, use only the NEC
mains cable supplied with the
AC charger.
Service
The handset, batteries and
charger contain no user-
serviceable parts. We
recommend that your handset
be serviced or repaired by an
authorised service centre.
Please contact
3 Customer
Services on 333 from your
handset or 0870 7330 3332
from any other phone for advice.
Efficient use
The handset has an internal
antenna. For optimum
performance with minimum
power consumption, please do
not cover the internal antenna
area with your hand. Covering
the internal antenna affects call
quality, may cause the handset
to operate at higher power
level than needed, and may
shorten talk and standby times.
Radio frequency energy
Your handset is a low-power
radio transmitter and receiver.
When it is turned on, it
intermittently receives and
transmits radio frequency (RF)
energy (radio waves). The
system that handles the call
controls the power level at
which the handset transmits.
