Differences Between Data, Fax, and Internet
Calls
You can use your phone in Wireless Modem Operation when it is
powered on with the proper cable attached from your phone to your
computer. An Ericsson accessory kit may be required to use your
phone in Wireless Modem Operation. Your phone is in Wireless
Modem Operation when you see the following standby screen.
Your Ericsson mobile phone can handle data, fax, and Internet calls,
but each type of call requires corresponding software that must be
running on your computer.
Data Calls
Data calls are placed to exchange computer files between two com-
puters. While the data connection is in place, files can be transferred
between the connected computers, according to the capabilities of
the software in use. When a data call is made, the connection will
remain in place until it is closed by one of the computers involved.
To make or receive data calls with your Ericsson mobile phone, you
must have a properly configured communications program running
on your computer.
Your Ericsson mobile phone contains a modem similar to the
modems you use to connect your computer to your home or office
telephone service. Rather than connecting to standard telephone
lines, however, the modem in your mobile phone allows you to con-
nect your computer to the mobile telephone system. In places where
mobile network operators provide the necessary support, you can use
your mobile phone to send or receive faxes, upload or download data
files, or access the Internet.
Fax Calls
Fax calls are placed to send fax messages. When a fax message has
been sent, your fax software or the originating fax machine will ter-
minate the call. To make or receive fax calls with your Ericsson
mobile phone, you must have a properly configured fax program
running on your computer.
This chapter will assist you with setting up your computer and
phone to handle data, fax, and Internet calls on the mobile network.
Note! If digital data/fax/Internet service is not available, you can purchase
an analog modem card that is compatible with your Ericsson mobile
phone and use data/fax functions on the available analog system.

available, you can purchase an analog modem card that is compat-
ible with your Ericsson mobile phone and use data functions on
the available analog system.
Internet Calls
Internet calls are placed to Internet Service Providers (ISP) when you
want to use e-mail or access websites on the World Wide Web. To
make Internet calls, you must have an account with an ISP and a
properly configured Internet access program (browser) running on
your computer. When your software is installed and set up to dial
your ISP, calls can be made using the normal dialing procedure.
Once a connection to your ISP is established, it will remain in place
until you disconnect or until it is automatically disconnected due to
the degradation of signal quality or due to inactivity.
• Verify that you have the necessary subscription.
Note! The availability of digital mobile voice service does not necessarily
imply that your mobile service operator supports digital data opera-
tion.
Note! Throughout this chapter, references to data/fax/internet will be

Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use
Since its introduction in the mid 1980s, the mobile phone has been
one of the most exciting and innovative products ever developed.
Your phone can help you to stay in touch with your office, your
home, emergency services and others.
The design of your phone complies with the FCC guidelines (and
those standards).
* American National Standards Institute: National Council on Radia-
tion Protection and Measurements; International Commission on Non-
Ionizing Radiation Protection.
Safety
Antenna Care
Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna. Unau-
thorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage the
phone and may violate FCC regulations.
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.
Phone Operation
NORMAL POSITION: Hold the phone as you would any other
telephone with the antenna pointed up and over your shoulder.
In August, 1996, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for handheld wire-
less phones. Those guidelines are consistent with the safety standards
previously set by both US and international standards bodies:
TIPS ON EFFICIENT OPERATION: For your phone to operate
most efficiently:
• Extend your antenna fully (where applicable).
• ANSI C95.1 (1992)*
• NCRP Report 86 (1986)*
• ICNIRP (1996)*
• Do not touch the antenna unnecessarily 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.
Those standards were based on comprehensive and periodic evalua-
tions of the relevant scientific literature. For example, over 120 scien-
tists, engineers, and physicians from universities, government health
agencies, and industry reviewed the available body of research to
develop the ANSI Standard (C95.1).
Driving
Check the laws and regulations on the use of wireless telephones in
the areas where you drive. Always obey them. Also, if using your
phone while driving, please:
Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use
43
• Give full attention to driving - driving safely is your first responsi-
bility.
Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a
minimum separation of six (6”) inches be maintained between a
handheld wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential inter-
ference with the pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent
with the independent research by and recommendations of Wireless
Technology Research.
• Use handsfree operation, if available.
• Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if
driving conditions so require.
In addition, Ericsson suggests the following safe driving tips if you
are using your phone while driving:
Persons with pacemakers:
• Get to know your wireless phone and its features such as speed dial
and redial.
• Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than six inches from their
pacemaker when the phone is turned ON.
• Position your wireless phone within easy reach.
• Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket.
• Suspend conversations during hazardous driving
conditions or situations.
• Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the poten-
tial for interference.
• Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while
driving.
• If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place,
turn your phone OFF immediately.
• Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place calls when you
are not moving or before pulling into traffic.
Hearing Aids
• Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that may be
Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids.
In the event of such interference, you may want to consult your ser-
vice provider (or call the customer service line to discuss alterna-
tives).
distracting.
• Use your wireless phone to call for help.
• Use your wireless phone to help others in emergencies.
• Call roadside assistance or a special wireless non-emergency assis-
tance number when necessary.
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufac-
turer of your device to determine if it is adequately shielded from
external RF energy. Your physician may be able to assist you in
obtaining this information.
Electronic Devices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF signals.
However, certain electronic equipment may not be shielded against
RF signals from your wireless phone.
Turn your phone OFF in health care facilities when any regulations
posted in these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care

stations; below deck on boats; fuel or chemical transfer or storage
facilities; vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or
butane); areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as
grain, dust, or metal powders; and any other area where you would
normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine.
Vehicles
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded
electronic systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer
or its representative regarding your vehicle. You should also consult
the manufacturer of any equipment that has been added to your
vehicle.
For Vehicles Equipped with an Air Bag
An air bag inflates with great force. DO NOT place objects, includ-
ing both 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
bodily injury could result.
Posted Facilities
Turn your phone OFF in any facility where posted notices so
require.
Aircraft
Product Care and Operation
FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while in the air. Switch
OFF your phone before boarding an aircraft.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is
subject to the following two conditions: 1) This device may not
cause harmful interference, and 2) This device must accept any
interference received, including interference that may cause undes-
ired operation.
Blasting Areas
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your phone OFF
when in a “blasting area” or in areas posted: “Turn off two-way
radio.” Obey all signs and instructions.
Ericsson suggests you read and observe the following for safe care
and operation of your phone:
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
• Do not allow children to play with your phone or its accessories.
They could hurt themselves or others, or could accidentally dam-
age the phone or accessory. Your phone or its accessories may con-
tain small parts that could be detached and create a choking
hazard.
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.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often but not
always clearly marked. They include fueling areas such as gasoline
• Do not expose your mobile phone to moisture or extreme temper-
atures.
Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use
45
• Only Ericsson original accessories are recommended. Failure to
use them may result in loss of performance or product damage,
and will void the warranty.
Recycling Your Battery
Your phone manufacturer is a member of the Rechargeable Battery
Recycling Corporation (RBRC), a non-profit service organization
designed to assist in the recycling of rechargeable batteries. Many
areas require the recycling of rechargeable batteries. In the U.S., call
1-800-822-8837 to find out how to recycle your battery. Outside the
U.S., contact your local retailer for recycling instructions.
• Do not attempt to disassemble the product. Doing so will void
warranty. This product does not contain consumer serviceable
components. Service should only be performed by Authorized Ser-
vice Centers.
• Do not allow objects to fall on, or liquids to spill on products.
Battery Use and Care
• Connect AC (power supply) only to designated power sources as
marked on the product.
Battery use and care varies slightly depending upon which type of
battery your phone is equipped with: Nickel Metal Hydride
(NiMH) or Lithium Ion (LiIon).
• To reduce risk of damage, remove the electrical cord from the out-
let by pulling the AC adapter at the outlet rather than the cord.
• Make sure the electric cord is located so that it will not be stepped
on, tripped over, or otherwise subjected to damage or stress.
Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) Batteries
A rechargeable battery has a long service life if treated properly. A
new battery, or one that has not been used for a long period of time,
should be conditioned before using your phone. Avoid recharging a
fully-charged or almost fully-charged battery. If your phone shuts off
due to low battery power, you should charge the battery within 24
hours for the battery to reach full capacity.
• To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug the unit from the power
source before attempting any cleaning. Once unplugged, use a soft
cloth lightly dampened with water for cleaning.
• DANGER - Never alter the AC cord or plug. If the plug will not
fit into the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified elec-
trician. Improper connection can result in risk of electric shock.
• Do not leave your battery where it may be subjected to extremely
hot or cold temperatures. This could reduce the battery’s capacity.
• Don’t twist the antenna. Excess twisting will damage the antenna.
• Do not let the metal contacts on the battery touch another metal
object such as keys in your pocket. This could short-circuit and
damage the battery.
Battery Information
• Do not attempt to take a battery apart.
New Batteries
• Do not expose a battery to open flame. This could cause the bat-
tery to explode.
The battery packaged with your phone is not fully charged. For max-
imum battery capacity, use your charger to condition the battery.
• Turn your phone OFF before removing the battery.
46
Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use
• Use only the AC/DC adapter supplied with your battery charger.
Using a different adapter could be dangerous and will void your
phone warranty.
• Keep away from children and do not allow the battery to be placed
in their mouth. Battery electrolytes may be toxic if swallowed.
Avoid battery electrolyte contact with your skin and eyes.
• Never charge a battery when the ambient room temperature is
• Do Not use a damaged battery or charger.

• Do Not disassemble the battery.
• Use only Ericsson Original accessory chargers (including hands-
free units that act as a charger) and the AC/DC adapter supplied
with your battery charger. Use on a non-Ericsson Original acces-
sory may be hazardous and damage from such use will void your
phone warranty.
• Charging the battery at room temperatures below 41°F (5°C) or
above 113°F (45°C) may degrade battery performance and could
be hazardous.
