Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use  
The mobile phone is one of the most exciting and inno-  
vative products ever developed. Your phone can help you  
to stay in touch with your office, your home, emergency  
services and others.  
industry reviewed the available body of research to  
develop the ANSI Standard (C95.1).  
The design of your phone complies with the FCC guide-  
lines (and those standards).

cil on Radiation Protection and Measurements; Interna-  
tional Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection.  
Safety  
Exposure to Radio Frequency Signals  
Antenna Care  
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.  
Use only the supplied or an approved replacement  
antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or  
attachments could damage the phone and may violate  
FCC regulations.  
In August, 1996, the Federal Communications Com-  
mission (FCC) adopted RF exposure guidelines with  
safety levels for handheld wireless phones. Those guide-  
lines are consistent with the safety standards previously  
set by both US and international standards bodies:  
Phone Operation  
NORMAL POSITION: Hold the phone as you would  
any other telephone with the antenna pointed up and  
over your shoulder.  
ANSI C95.1 (1992)*  
NCRP Report 86 (1986)*  
ICNIRP (1996)*  
TIPS ON EFFICIENT OPERATION: For your phone  
to operate most efficiently:  
Extend your antenna fully (where applicable).  
Those standards were based on comprehensive and peri-  
odic evaluations of the relevant scientific literature. For  
example, over 120 scientists, engineers, and physicians  
from universities, government health agencies, and  
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.  
Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use  
3
Call roadside assistance or a special wireless non-  
emergency assistance number when necessary.  
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:  
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.  
Give full attention to driving - driving safely is your  
first responsibility.  
Use handsfree operation, if available.  
Pull off the road and park before making or answer-  
ing a call if driving conditions so require.  
Pacemakers  
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recom-  
mends that a minimum separation of six (6”) inches be  
maintained between a handheld wireless phone and a  
pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pace-  
maker. These recommendations are consistent with the  
independent research by and recommendations of Wire-  
less Technology Research.  
In addition, Ericsson suggests the following safe driving  
tips if you are using your phone while driving:  
Get to know your wireless phone and its features  
such as speed dial and redial.  
Position your wireless phone  
within easy reach.  
Persons with pacemakers:  
Suspend conversations during  
hazardous driving conditions or  
situations.  
Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than six  
inches from their pacemaker when the phone is  
turned ON.  
Do not take notes or look up  
Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket.  
phone numbers while driving.  
Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to mini-  
mize the potential for interference.  
Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place  
calls when you are not moving or before pulling  
into traffic.  
If you have any reason to suspect that interference is  
taking place, turn your phone OFF immediately.  
Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversa-  
tions that may be distracting.  
Hearing Aids  
Use your wireless phone to call for help.  
Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some  
hearing aids. In the event of such interference, you may  
Use your wireless phone to help others in emergen-  
cies.

Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use  
want to consult your service provider (or call the cus-  
tomer service line to discuss alternatives).  
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 instruc-  
tions.  
Other Medical Devices  
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the  
manufacturer of your device to determine if it is ade-  
quately shielded from external RF energy. Your physician  
may be able to assist you in obtaining this information.  
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres  
Turn your phone OFF when in any area with a poten-  
tially explosive atmosphere and obey all signs and  
instructions. Sparks in such areas could cause an explo-  
sion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.  
Turn your phone OFF in health care facilities when any  
regulations posted in these areas instruct you to do so.  
Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equip-  
ment that could be sensitive to external RF energy.  
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often  
but not always clearly marked. They include fueling  
areas such as gasoline 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 inade-  
quately shielded electronic systems in motor vehicles.  
Check with the manufacturer or its representative  
regarding your vehicle. You should also consult the man-  
ufacturer of any equipment that has been added to your  
vehicle.  
Posted Facilities  
Turn your phone OFF in any facility where posted  
For Vehicles Equipped with an Air Bag  
An air bag inflates with great force. DO NOT place  
objects, including 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.  
notices so require.  
Aircraft  
FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while in the  
air. Switch OFF your phone before boarding an aircraft.

Product Care and Operation  
Ericsson suggests you read and observe the following for  
6
Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use  
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  
New Batteries  
Do not attempt to take a battery apart.  
The battery packaged with your phone is not fully  
charged. For maximum battery capacity, use your  
charger to condition the battery.  
Do not expose a battery to open flame. This could  
cause the battery to explode.  
Turn your phone OFF before removing the battery.  
Use only the AC/DC adapter supplied with your  
battery charger. Using a different adapter could be  
dangerous and will void your phone warranty.  
Recycling Your Battery  
Your phone manufacturer is a member of the Recharge-  
able Battery Recycling Corporation (RBRC), a non-  
profit service organization designed to assist in the recy-  
cling 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.  
Never charge a battery when the ambient room  
temperature is below 50° F (10°C) or above 105°F  
(40°C).  
Do not allow the battery to be placed into the  
mouth. Battery electrolytes may be toxic if swal-  
lowed.  
Battery Use and Care  
Conditioning Your Battery  
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. This can result in the mem-  
ory effect, which causes the battery to charge to less than  
its full capacity. If your phone shuts off due to low bat-  
tery power, you should charge the battery within 24  
hours for the battery to reach full capacity.  
To condition your battery, do the following:  
Charge the battery until it is fully charged.

Message Services  
Text messages and voice mail are the two types of mes-  
Emergency Text Messages  
sage services your Ericsson mobile phone can support.  
The message services are provided by your service pro-  
vider and subject to availability.  
If your phone is turned On when it receives an emer-  
gency message, your phone sounds two brief tones, and  
a message appears in the display for a few seconds  
prompting you to read the emergency message.  
Emergency messages are always shown before urgent and  
normal messages, regardless of the order in which the  
messages were received.  
Text Message Service  
Your phone can store a maximum of 2KB of message  
text in its memory. The messages can be classified by the  
sender using one of the following message types: Nor-  
mal, Urgent, and Emergency. A text message can also  
contain one or more callback numbers - phone numbers  
specified by the person leaving the message.  
Urgent Text Messages  
The message category assignment and the callback num-  
ber capability are dependent on the system used by your  
service provider.  
If your phone is turned On when it receives an urgent  
text message, your phone sounds a brief tone, and a mes-  
sage appears in the display.  
After a sender leaves a message with your service pro-  
vider, the service provider transmits the message to your  
phone. If your phone is On, it receives the message. If  
your phone is Off, your service provider retains the mes-  
sage and transmits it again later.  
Normal Text Messages  
If your phone is turned On when it receives a normal  
text message, your phone sounds a brief tone, and a mes-  
sage appears in the display.  
When a message is received, your phone lets you skip,  
review, save, or delete a text message.  
Message Services

If there is an error in a callback phone number, you can  
edit a callback phone number before you make the call.  
Use the cursor, which appears at the left side of the sec-  
ond line of the display, to edit a callback phone number.  
When editing the phone number, you can:  
Text Messages With Callback Numbers  
Callback phone numbers are one or more phone num-  
bers that are attached to or contained within a text mes-  
sage. These phone numbers are specified by the person  
sending the message.  
Move the cursor position by pressing and holding  
one of the arrow keys.  
Insert a number at the cursor location by pressing a  
number key.  
Delete the number at the cursor location by press-  
ing CLR.  
If you press YES while reading a message that contains a  
callback phone number, a message appears in the display  
prompting you to call the phone number.  
To dial the displayed phone number, press YES.  
Text Message Memory  
To place a calling card call to the displayed phone  
number, press and hold YES.  
When the text message icon ( ) is flashing, your text

message overwrites any old text messages that have not  
been saved. If your phones text message memory is full,  
If you do not want to call the displayed phone  
number, press NO, and resume reading the actual  
message.  
If there are two or more callback phone numbers in a  
text message, the up and down arrows ( or ) appear  
in the top right section of the display.  
and all your messages have been saved ( ), you must

Data, Fax, and Internet Calls  
Your Ericsson mobile phone contains a modem similar  
Data Calls  
to the modems you use to connect your computer to  
your home or office telephone service. Rather than con-  
necting to standard telephone lines, however, the  
modem in your mobile phone allows you to connect  
your computer to the mobile telephone system. In  
places where mobile network operators provide the nec-  
essary support, you can use your mobile phone to send  
or receive faxes, upload or download data files, or access  
the Internet. This chapter will assist you with setting up  
your computer and phone to handle data, fax, and Inter-  
net calls on the mobile network.  
Data calls are placed to exchange computer files between  
two computers. While the data connection is in place,  
files can be transferred between the connected comput-  
ers, 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 communi-  
cations program running on your computer.  
Fax Calls  
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 func-  
tions on the available analog system.  
Fax calls are placed to send fax messages. When a fax  
message has been sent, your fax software or the originat-  
ing fax machine will terminate 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.  
Differences Between Data, Fax, and Internet  
Calls  
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

Internet calls, but each type of call requires correspond-  
ing software that must be running on your computer.

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.  
Note! The availability of digital mobile voice service does not  
necessarily imply that your mobile service operator sup-  
ports digital data operation.  
Note! Throughout this chapter, references to data/fax/internet  
Setting Up Your Computer  
will be referred to as simply data.  
To operate properly with the modem in your Ericsson  
mobile phone, make sure that your computer has the  
following hardware and software:  
Before You Start  
Before setting up your phone for data operation, do the  
following:  
A functional serial port  
An operating system that supports data access soft-  
ware, such as Windows 95 or Windows 98  
Make sure that you have the required hardware and  
software components.  
Appropriate fax (class 2.0), Internet access, or file  
transfer software  
Note! You must have an Ericsson DA 18 Phone Book Manager  
Accessory Kit, which includes a serial interface cable, to  
connect your Ericsson mobile phone to your computer.  
The kit also includes a compact disc with the software  
required to install your phone as a modem on your com-  
puter.  
Note! Class “2.0” is different from Class “2”.  
Initial Setup  
Successful first-time setup of your phone and computer  
for data operation involves the following steps:  
Confirm that your mobile service provider supports  
digital data services in your planned usage area. If  
digital data service is not available, you can pur-  
chase an analog modem card that is compatible  
with your Ericsson mobile phone and use data  
functions on the available analog system.  
Connect Your Computer to Your Phone  
1
Your Ericsson DA 18 Phone Book Manager Acces-  
sory Kit contains a serial interface cable. The cable  
has a plug on one end that matches the receptacle  
on the bottom of your Ericsson mobile phone. The  
other end of the cable has a 9-pin female connector  
that matches the standard 9-pin serial interface port

trouble receiving a data call, you may need to configure  
your phone manually to receive a data call. To configure  
your phone manually, do the following:  
Install Your Modem Control Software (driver)  
The modem control software (driver) that you need  
to use your Ericsson mobile phone is available on  
the compact disc included in your DA 18 Phone  
Book Manager Accessory Kit. Refer to the Install-

Making Data and Fax Calls  
When your phone and computer are properly set up,  
your phone will go into Data/Fax profile as soon as your  
fax or file transfer software is started. You are then ready  
to send a fax, or initiate data calls, as with any other  
modem.  
Disconnecting  
Disconnect your Ericsson mobile phone from your com-  
puter by disconnecting the cable from your phone and  
the serial port from your computer. When your fax pro-  
gram is stopped or when your interface cable is discon-  
nected, your phone will exit Data/Fax profile and return  
to the previously selected profile.  
Review the instructions from your mobile service pro-  
vider that describe the procedures and rules for making  
and receiving data calls in your area.  
Note! Your phone will remain in Data/Fax profile until your  
phone cable is disconnected.  
Note! To avoid unnecessary airtime charges, terminate your  
data calls as soon as you have finished transferring files  
by pressing the NO key. Some software can be set to do  
this automatically.

Installing Your Modem Driver From Your  
Compact Disc  
In a Vehicle  
Windows 95  
It is possible to receive data calls from your vehicle.  
Operation from a moving vehicle may not be satisfac-  
tory because data may be lost when your call is trans-  
ferred from one mobile base station to another. Be sure  
to give full attention to driving and pull off the road and  
park before making or receiving calls, if driving condi-  
tions so require.  
Complete the following steps to install the appropriate  
modem driver (INF file) on your computer if you are  
running Windows 95:  
Turn On your Ericsson mobile phone.

Brief interruptions of mobile telephone signals that  
would not be bothersome during a voice call may cause  
problems during data operation, depending upon the  
error correction capabilities of the software being used.  
Such interruptions are uncommon during stationary  
operation, but can be caused by vehicles or people pass-  
ing nearby, especially in areas of low signal strength. You  
can use the signal strength indicator on your phone to  
verify that you have a good signal path.

You called a number for which you have set call  
restrictions.  
The battery does not seem to charge to full capac-  
ity.  
Condition the battery by fully discharging and  
charging it three times. Or, if your phone came with  
a desktop charger, use the conditioning function on  
the desktop charger to condition the battery.  
You entered an incorrect security code. Enter the  
correct security code.

flash red. When the phone shuts itself off, replace  
the battery with a fully charged one, or use an alter-  
nate power source, such as a travel charger.  
Calls are being dropped.

You are probably in a geographic area with minimal  
service. Wait until the signal strength indicator in  
your phone's display shows a high relative signal  
strength (more bars) before trying a call. Make note  
of geographic locations where calls are dropped and  
contact your service provider.  
Your text message memory is full. Erase some  
stored messages to free up memory for new mes-  
sages.
