Safety Hand-Held Portable PCS Telephone IMPORTANT Read this information before using your PCS Telephone. Antenna Care Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage the phone and may violate FCC regulations. Phone Operation Exposure To Radio Frequency Signals Your wireless handheld portable telephone is a low power radio transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it receives and also sends out radio frequency (RF) signals.
Driving Check the laws and regulations on the use of PCS and cellular telephones in the areas where you drive. Always obey them. Also, if using the 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 making or answering a call if driving conditions so require. Electronic Devices Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF energy.
Blasting Areas To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your unit OFF when in a “blasting area” or in areas posted: “Turn off two-way radio. ” Obey all signs and instructions. 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 explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.

C Clears numbers or rejects calls, settings, or options. < > Scroll through the menu features. SIM Card Release The SIM card release button is on the left hand side of your phone.
The Display Low Temperature Use The liquid crystal display screen used in your phone will behave differently at extremely low temperatures. You may notice that the display responds slowly to key presses; this is to be expected and does not affect the phone operation in any way. Low Battery Warning The Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) on your phone can display up to two rows of twelve alphanumeric characters. ABC123 Characters are used to display messages and telephone numbers.
Your Battery Charging a New Battery To ensure maximum battery performance, it is recommended that a new battery (or battery that has not been used for several months) be charged for at least 14 hours before use. A A new battery will require several full charge/discharge cycles in order to achieve its optimum performance. A A new battery, or a battery that has not been used for several months, may cause a premature fully charged indication on the charger.
Charging Your Battery Your travel charger can be connected directly to your phone for convenient rapid battery charging. Rapid Travel Charger Times When the battery is about 95% charged, the message Fast Charge Complete will be displayed and the q symbol will stop flashing. A If the display is completely blank when the travel charger is connected, the battery is not being charged.
Desktop Charging Typical charge times for achieving a 95% charge level using the optional E•P Desktop Charger accessory are: Battery Type Charge Time Part Number AAA 500 mAh NiMH 65 minutes SNN 4604 Slim 560 mAh NiMH 1.5 hours SNN 4615 Slim 400 mAh Li-Ion 4 hours SNN 4555 Extra Capacity 1300 mAh NiMH 1.
Charger Indicators The two sets of indicators on the front of the E•P Desktop Charger show the charging status. The lower indicators display the status for the front slot, while the upper indicators show charge status for the rear slot. When both slots are charging batteries, the front slot will always charge first. A rapid flashing of a red indicator shows a faulty battery that will not charge. A rapid flashing of a yellow indicator shows the battery is out of temperature or voltage range.
Using Your Phone While Charging Your phone can be left on in standby mode while charging. Remember that talking on the phone requires energy, so charging will take longer if you make or receive calls. A Installing Your Battery Place the battery onto the back of the phone just below the marked arrow indicators. Then slide the battery upwards on the phone's runners, until it locks into place.
Your SIM Card Your credit card sized SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) card was supplied by your Service Provider when you bought your phone. You will not be able to make or receive calls if you do not have a SIM card inserted in your phone.

Regulations and Precautions The U.S. Federal Communications Commission and the Canadian Department of Communications regulate PCS radiotelephone service in their respective countries. It is important for you, the PCS radiotelephone user, to observe the applicable regulations when operating your PCS phone in either country. In addition to these U.S.
Consumer Responsibilities Remember that wireline and radio regulations with respect to harassing calls, false distress calls, obscene language, etc., apply to PCS phone usage. Privacy As a telephone user, you have come to assume a certain standard of privacy when you place or receive a telephone call via the traditional wireline systems. However, because PCS 1900 is a radiotelephone that utilizes radio transmissions to effect calls, the same standard cannot always be assured.
