Display: The display is an illuminated 128 x 64 pixels LCD, covered by anti-reflex treated plastic
glass for maximum readability. Display contrast is manually adjustable.
Keypad: The illuminated keypad is ideal for low light environments. When not in use, the keypad
can be locked to prevent accidental key presses.
SIM Card: The SIM card contains all personal settings such as phonebook, identity, alert signal
and your defined functions for soft keys and hot keys. All personal settings are retained if the
SIM card is moved to another handset.
Battery: The battery is a rechargeable Lithium Ion battery.
Contacting Emergency Services
This handset, like any wireless phone, communicates using radio signals. As with any wireless
phone, you may not be able to establish a connection under all conditions, therefore, you should
not rely solely on a wireless telephone for essential, emergency communication. The key lock
feature disables the handset keypad and prevents the accidental dialing of numbers that may
result in nuisance calls. It also prevents accidental calls to emergency services numbers like
911, 999, or 112.
To disable the key lock feature, press the
key and then press YES.
Currently, mobile IP phones do not support Enhanced 911 (E911) operation. If emergency
services are required, it is necessary to keep the system administrator and the location database
current.
Tips for your Comfort and Safety
Don't cradle the handset!
Prolonged use of the handset can lead to neck, shoulder, or back discomfort, especially if you
cradle the handset between your ear and shoulder. If you use your phone a lot, you may find
it more comfortable to use a headset. See the section on headset usage elsewhere in this guide
for more information.
Protect your hearing
Your phone has a control for adjusting the volume of the handset receiver or headset. Because
continuous exposure to loud sounds can contribute to hearing loss, keep the volume at a
moderate level.
Frequency Range
The handset is a radio transmitter and receiver. When it is on, it receives and sends out radio
frequency (RF) energy. The handset operates on different frequency ranges depending on
market and employs commonly used modulation techniques:
•
EU: 1880 - 1900 MHz
•
USA: 1920 - 1930 MHz
