Safety Information

Operating environment

Remember to follow any special regulations in force in any area where you use your phone.
Switch off your phone near a refueling point, bunker, chemical plant or blasting. Follow any restrictions. Not following them may cause an explosion or even death.
Your phone can cause interference and danger in aircraft.
Therefore, ensure that your phone is switched off during the flight.
Put your phone at a special rack while driving. Do not put it at the seat or any places where it may drop. Do not use your wireless phone while driving. If you do need to use it, use the hands-free car kit or park the car first.

Medical devices

Operation of any radio transmitting equipment, including wireless phones, may interfere with the functionality of inadequately protected medical devices. Consult a physician or the manufacturer of the medical device to determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF energy or if you have any questions. Switch off your phone in health care facilities when any regulations posted in these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment that could be sensitive to external RF energy.

Pacemaker

Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum separation of 6 inch (15.3cm) be maintained between a wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker.

To minimize the potential for interference, persons with pacemakers should:

Always keep the phone more than 6 inches (15.3cm) from their pacemaker when the phone is switched on.
Not carry the phone in a breast pocket.
Hold the phone to the ear opposite to the pacemaker.

Hearing aid

Your phone may interfere with some hearing aids. If interference occurs, consult the manufacturer of the hearing aids.

Emergency calls

Wireless phones, including this phone, operate using radio signals, wireless networks, landline networks and user-programmed functions. Because of this, connections in all conditions cannot be guaranteed. You should never rely solely on any wireless phone for essential communications like medical emergencies.

Make an emergency call

(1) If the phone is not on, switch it on. Check for adequate signal strength.
(2) Enter the official emergency number for your present location.
Emergency numbers vary by location.
(3) Press key to dial.

Access Codes

Phone password

This code, supplied with the phone, protects your phone against unauthorized use. The phone password is preset to 0000. After you buy the phone, reset the phone password as soon as possible.

PIN code

This code, supplied with the SIM card, protects the card against unauthorized use. When you set on the PIN code request, the code is requested each time the phone is switched on.

PIN2 code

This code is supplied with some SIM cards and is required to access some certain special functions of the card. If you enter an incorrect PIN2 code three times in succession, PIN2 code is blocked and you will be asked for the PUK2 code to unblock it.

PUK code

This code may be supplied with the SIM card. If you do not have the code, contact your service provider or SIM card vendor. If you enter an incorrect PUK code ten times in succession, SIM card is void and cannot be used anymore. Ask your service provider or SIM card vendor for a new one. PUK code is unchangeable.

PUK2 code

This code may be supplied with the SIM card. If you enter an incorrect PUK code ten times in succession, some certain functions will be inactivated. If necessary, ask your service provider or SIM card vendor for a new one. PUK2 code cannot be changed. If you lost the code, contact your service provider or SIM card vendor.

Charging and discharging

Your phone is powered by a rechargeable li-ion battery. Standby and talk times may vary, depending on the operating environment and settings in the phone.
Use only Meridian Mobile approved batteries and chargers.
Meridian Mobile takes no responsibility for any damage caused by using unapproved batteries or chargers.
When your phone is on and charging is in progress, the battery bar appears on the screen and starts scrolling. When you charge the battery with your phone switched off, an animation indicating that charging is in progress appears on the screen.

Do not touch the battery or charger with wet hands when charging is in progress to avoid any potential danger.
When charging is complete, the battery bar stops scrolling.
Unplug the charger from the wall outlet and the phone.

Precautions when using batteries

Never use any charger or battery that is damaged in any way.
If you use the phone near the network’s base station, it uses less power. Standby and talk times are greatly affected by the signal strength on the cellular network and the parameters set by the network operator.
Battery charging time depends on the remaining battery charge, the type of battery and the charger used. The battery can be charged and discharged hundreds of times, but it will gradually wear out. When the operation time is noticeably shorter than normal, buy a new one.
Using unapproved batteries and chargers may cause an explosion. Unplug the charger from the wall outlet and the phone when not in use. Do not leave the battery connected to a charger for over one week. Overcharging may shorten the battery’s lifetime. If left unused, even a fully charged battery will lose its charge over time.
When installing the battery, do not reverse the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals.
Leaving the battery in hot or cold places, such as in a closed car in summer or winter conditions, will reduce the capacity and lifetime of the battery. Always try to keep or use the battery in normal temperature.
Do not short-circuit the battery. Accidental short-circuiting can occur when a metallic object such as coin, clip or pen causes direct connection of the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals of the battery. (These look like metal strips on the battery.) This might happen, for example, when you carry a spare battery in your pocket or purse. Short-circuiting the terminals may damage the battery or the connecting object.
Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. Dispose of batteries according to local regulations. Please recycle when possible. Do not dispose as household waste.
If your phone, battery or charger gets wet, do not try to dry them in a heating device such as a drier or microwave oven etc. Doing so may cause burning, expansion or explosion of the phone, battery, charger or the heating device used.
It is hereby declared that Meridian Mobile is not liable for any direct or indirect damage occurred owing to any of the above misoperation.

Precautions when using enhancements

Keep all enhancements (SIM card, memory card or battery etc.) out of reach of small children.
Ensure that your phone is switched off and is not connected to a charger before you remove the battery.
Your phone and its enhancements are not water-resistant, keep them dry.
When you disconnect the power cord of any enhancement, grasp and pull the plug, not the cord.
If your phone, battery or charger does not work properly, contact the nearest authorized service facility for service.

Additional safety information

When left unused, switch off your phone and remove the battery to save power and eliminate radiation.
To avoid damage to your hearing, do not increase the volume too high when using the phone.
DO NOT attempt to disassemble the phone and its battery by any nonprofessional persons.
