1 network services

The mobile phone described in this guide is approved for use on the Orange network. A number of features included in this guide are called Network Services. These are special services that you can arrange through Orange. Before you can take advantage of the Network Services, you must subscribe to them through Orange. Instructions for these services are included in this guide.

2 everyday use of your phone Hold your phone as you would any other telephone, with the antenna pointing up and over your shoulder. If your phone has an extendible antenna, extend it fully. Do not touch the antenna unnecessarily when the phone is switched on, as this will affect call quality and may cause the phone to

operate at a higher power level than is needed. As with any other radio transmitting equipment, you are advised that for the satisfactory operation of your phone and for your own safety, you should use your phone only in the normal operating position.

3using your Orange phone in a vehicle

Safety comes first, and is the ultimate responsibility of the driver. Therefore:

■Orange recommend that you do not use your phone when driving, unless you are using a wired personal handsfree kit or personal handsfree car kit.

■If you need to make or receive a call and you have a personal handsfree kit or personal handsfree car kit, make sure it is done sensibly using speed dialling or voice activation where possible, and keeping calls brief and to a minimum.

■If you don’t have a personal handsfree kit or personal handsfree car kit, stop and park your vehicle safely with the engine off before using your phone, although never on a motorway slip road or hard shoulder even if it is urgent.

■Do not store or carry inflammable liquids, gases or explosive materials in the same compartment as your phone, its parts or accessories and always store your phone safely and securely.

■You should always use a phone holder in your car to secure your phone safely. Never place the phone on the passenger seat or where it can break loose in a collision or sudden stop.

Remember: Always give your full attention to driving. There is a personal handsfree kit and personal handsfree car kit available for most Orange phones which you can purchase separately by calling the Orange

Accessories Hotline on 0500 178 178 or by visiting your local stockist.

4 car kit installation

■Only qualified personnel should install or service the personal handsfree car kit or the phone in a vehicle. Faulty installation or service may be dangerous and may invalidate any warranty which may apply to the unit.

■For vehicles equipped with an air bag, remember that 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 a personal handsfree car kit is improperly installed and the air bag inflates, serious injury could result.

■Check regularly that all mobile phone equipment in your vehicle is mounted and operating properly.
