Safety Information 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. In August 1996, the Federal Communications Commissions (FCC) adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for hand-held wireless phones. Those guidelines are consistent with the safety standards previously set by both U.S. and international standards bodies: • ANSI C95.
Safety Information Caution: All batteries can cause property damage, injury or burns if a conductive material, such as jewelry, keys or beaded chains, touches exposed terminals. The material may complete an electrical circuit and become quite hot. To protect against such unwanted current drain, exercise care in handling any charged battery, particularly when placing it inside your pocket, purse or other container with metal objects.
Safety Information Hearing Aids Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of such interference, you may want to consult your hearing aid manufacturer to discuss alternatives. Other Medical Devices If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of your device to determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this information.
Safety Information 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. Blasting Areas 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.
Getting Started Package Content Options The SC-3160 phone comes equipped with a Lithium Ion battery and either a Travel Charger or a Desktop Charger to get you up and running. An exciting line of accessory options, now smaller and lighter than ever, can customize your cellular package for maximum performance and portability. Travel Charger (optional) Lithium Ion Battery SC-3160 Dual Mode Phone Desktop Charger (optional) Your phone and accessories may not look exactly as pictured above.
Introduction to Batteries Getting Started Battery Covers Your phone’s batteries are shipped uncharged, protected by a plastic storage case. You should use this case to store and carry batteries. The storage case prevents objects from touching the battery terminals, thereby reducing the risk of injury or damage from a short circuit. To begin using your battery: 1. Unsnap Case Unsnap the top of the plastic storage case. 2. Remove Battery Remove the battery from the case and snap the case closed.
Installing Batteries Battery Installation Find the imprinted arrows on the top back of your phone. 1. Place Battery Place the top of the battery just below the bottom of the imprinted arrows. 2. Slide Battery Slide the battery up along the guides until it clicks into place. 1 2 Battery Removal Make sure you phone is OFF before removing the battery. 1. Press Latch Press the release latch on the top back of the phone. 2. Slide Battery Slide the battery down until it comes free. 3.
Charging Batteries Getting Started Using the Travel Charger The Travel Charger is a quick and easy way to charge your phone’s battery. It’s compact enough to bring along and powerful enough to use at home. Keep in mind: When the Travel Charger is in use and the phone is ON, you can still place and receive calls. Just remember, talking on the phone requires energy, so your phone may not charge while the call is in progress. 1.
Charging Batteries Using the Desktop Charger The desktop charger’s front pocket can charge batteries while they are attached to your phone, and the rear pocket can charge batteries separately. If you have a desktop charger: 1. Plug In Charger Plug the desktop charger into a wall outlet. 2. Insert Phone Insert the phone with a battery attached into the front pocket. & Insert Battery If you like, insert another battery by itself into the rear pocket.
Charging Batteries Getting Started Desktop Charger Indicators The two LED indicators on the front of the desktop charger let you know the current state of any charging batteries. The left light provides information on the battery attached to the phone, and the right on any battery loaded in the rear pocket. • Red means the battery is charging. • Green means the battery is charged within 90% of its capacity and can be used. An additional hour of charging will bring your battery up to 100% capacity.
Charging Batteries Battery Storage and Disposal To prolong the life of your batteries, avoid exposing them to temperatures below -10°C (14°F) or above 45°C (113°F). As a good rule of thumb, always take your phone with you when you leave your car. To dispose of batteries, check with your local recycling center for a battery recycler near you. Never dispose of batteries in fire. Caution: To prevent injuries or burns, do not allow metal objects to contact or short circuit the battery terminals.

Using Memory Do you have places to go and people to see? Too many phone numbers to remember? Let your phone remember them for you. Your phone’s internal Phone Book can store up to 99 names and numbers for easy access on the go. In this chapter you will learn how to: • store names and numbers into the Phone Book. • recall phone numbers from memory. • dial in a flash with the Super Speed Dial and Turbo Dial™ functions. • simplify automated calling systems.
Making the Most of Memory Each phone number is stored in a “memory location” numbered 01-99. You can arrange your Phone Book for convenient recall by storing related numbers in groups of ten. For example, store your ten most frequently called numbers in locations 01-09, then you can use the Turbo Dial™ keys to call them with the push of a key. You could store business phone numbers in locations 1019, family numbers in 20-29, friends in 30-39, and so on.
Storing Names and Numbers To take advantage of the internal Phone Book, you’ll first want to store some names and numbers into memory. Your phone’s dedicated ¬ key makes storing quick and easy. 1. Enter Number Enter the phone number you want to store. 2. Begin Storing Press ¬ to begin storing. You will see: Location__. 3.
