Safety Precautions and Conditions of Use Your phone conforms to international regulations insofar as it is used under normal conditions and in accordance with the following instructions. CONDITIONS OF USE Electromagnetic waves • Do not switch on your phone aboard an aircraft (as your phone may interfere with the aircraft’s electronic systems). Current legislation forbids this use and legal action can be taken against the user. • Do not switch on your phone in a hospital, except in designated areas.
Caring for your phone • Do not allow children to use your phone without supervision. • Do not open or attempt to repair your phone yourself. The product can only be repaired by authorised service personnel. • Do not drop your phone or subject it to severe impacts. Bending the body and pushing the display or keys with extreme force could damage the phone. • Do not use solvents to clean your phone. Use only a soft, dry cloth. • Do not carry your phone in your back pocket as it could break when you sit down.
• Do not touch the battery terminals. Batteries can cause damage, injury or burns if a conductive material touches exposed terminals. When the battery is detached from the phone, use a cover made of non-conductive material for keeping and carrying the battery safely. • Do not open the memory card cover or remove the memory card while formatting or writing to the memory card. The card may be damaged beyond use. • Recommended temperature for using and storing batteries is approximately 20°C.
Aerial Care • Do not cover the top of the phone (p. 10, No. 19) with your hand when in use as this may interfere with the performance of the built-in aerial. Call quality may deteriorate leading to shortened talk-time and standby time because the mobile phone has to operate on a higher power level than is necessary. • Use only the aerial supplied or one approved by Sharp for your mobile phone. Using unauthorised or modified aerials may damage the mobile phone.
Others • As with any electronic storage unit, data may be lost or corrupted under various circumstances. • Before connecting the phone with a PC or a peripheral unit, read the operation manual for the other unit carefully. • If the phone’s battery has been removed for some time, or the phone has been reset, the unit’s clock and calendar may be reinitialised. The date and time should be updated in this case. ENVIRONMENT • Keep your phone away from extreme heat.
