Safety Precautions
Reading the guidelines below will minimize the risk of
misusing the phone.
• Never use the phone in any area where the use of
mobile phones is prohibited such as refueling points
or hospitals. Using phones in such places might
expose others to danger. Never switch on the
phone if it might interfere with work of other devices!
• Never use the phone without right accessories while
driving.
• Never use the phone in hospitals, airplanes,
refueling points or at proximity to flammable
materials.
• The telephone emits electromagnetic field that
might negatively interfere with other electronic
devices including medical equipment. A distance
8
recommended by the medical equipment
manufacturers between the phone and the
implanted medical device such as a heart
pacemaker should be observed. Users with
implanted devices should get familiar with and
follow guidelines by the manufacturers of such
implanted medical devices. Users with a heart
pacemaker should not carry the phone in the breast
pocket and should keep the phone next to the ear
opposite to the medical device in order to minimize
the risk of interference; in case of suspecting such
interference, the phone should be switched off
immediately;
• A device and its accessories might contain small
parts. Keep your phone and all parts out of reach of
children.
• No repairs or modifications of the phone by the User
are allowed. Any problems should be repaired by
the qualified service only.
• Only original batteries and chargers must be used.
Using other accessories might damage the phone
or cause an explosion.
• The phone is not dustproof, it shall not be exposed
to dust, metal chips, etc. as it might cause the
phone to malfunction.
WATERPROOF – the phone is not waterproof.
Keep it dry at all times.

Getting Started
Make sure your set contains all pieces as listed on page
3: “The Set Included” prior to the first use.
Prior to switching on the phone, a SIM Card must be
inserted. Be careful not to damage the Card while
inserting it.
Keep the SIM Card away from children at all times.
SIM Card, MicroSD Memory Card and

Battery Installation
The phone has a MicroSIM slot. If you have a card of
different size with no possibility to push out the
MicroSIM, contact your service provider to replace the
card with the card of right size.
• Make sure the phone is switched off, and the
charger is unplugged; if the phone is switched
on, press and hold the red receiver key.
• Slide the battery cover down.
• Remove the battery by lifting it up with your

fingernail from the bottom of the telephone.
10
• Slide the SIM socket lock upwards, and then
gently lift it away upwards.
• Insert the MicroSIM so that its metal contacts will
be face down; pay attention to the notch of the
card. Using the phone options that require the
GSM network is not possible without the SIM
Card.
• Close the SIM socket lock, and slide it back

downwards.
• To install the MicroSD card (the Card slot is
located on the right side of the SIM socket), slide
the lock to the right and open it. Then, insert the
memory card, close the lock and slide it toward
the SIM Card socket.

• Install the battery so that its metal contacts +/-
will be face up.
• Put the battery cover back in place and slide it

upwards.
Be careful while using the memory card especially while

inserting and uninstalling the card. Some memory cards
must be formatted on a computer before the first use.
Regularly make backup copies of data stored on cards
used in other devices, if you use SD Cards. Misuse or
12
other factors might damage the card or make the card
lose its content.
Charging the Battery

Important! Only the battery included in the set should be
used. Using other batteries might damage the phone
and shall void warranty.
Never connect the charger while the back cover is
removed.
To charge the phone:

1. Plug the charger into a power outlet.
2. Plug the charger cable into a slot at the top edge
of the phone. A message about the charger being
connected will appear on the display screen, and
the battery icon will keep blinking while the
phone is being charged. The battery icon on the
flip will light in red.
3. When the battery is fully charged, unplug the
charger from the power outlet, and then unplug
the cable off the phone.
4. As soon as the charging process is completed,
the battery icon will stop blinking, and the battery
on the flip will go off as well.
To charge the phone, you might also use the desktop

charger. To do so, plug the charger cable into the
socket on the back of the desktop charger, place the
desktop charger on an even surface, and position the
phone on the desktop charger so that the phone’s metal

contacts will go down. The phone mm831 might be
charged either with an open or closed flip.

o Before you start the charging process, make
sure the battery is properly installed.
o Never remove the battery while charging –
doing so might damage the phone.
o If the battery level is too low to work properly,
there will be the message on the screen telling
you that the phone is about to be automatically
switched off, and the phone will automatically
switch off.
o If the battery is fully discharged (because for
example you had left the torch on), it might be
necessary to wait several minutes for the
14
battery icon to appear after the battery is
plugged in.

other devices!
• Never use the phone without an appropriate
headphone set while driving.
• The telephone emits electromagnetic field that might
negatively interfere with other electronic devices
including medical equipment. A distance
recommended by the medical equipment
manufacturers between the phone and the implanted
medical device such as a heart pacemaker should be
observed. Users with implanted devices should get
familiar with and follow guidelines by the
manufacturers of such implanted medical devices.
Users with a heart pacemaker should not carry the
phone in the breast pocket and should keep the
phone next to the ear opposite to the medical device
in order to minimize the risk of interference; in case
of suspecting such interference, the phone should be
switched off immediately.

Battery Information
There is a battery in the phone. The battery can be
recharged using a charger that is included in the set.
The battery life depends on conditions in which the phone

is used. Your distance from a relay transmitter, number
and the length of phone calls significantly reduce the
battery life. While on the go, the phone switches between
relay transmitters and such switching also significantly
affects the battery life.
After multiple charges and discharges, it is natural for the
battery to eventually lose its ability to hold charge. Get a
new battery if you notice a significant drop in the battery
performance.
Use only batteries recommended by the Manufacturer.

Never leave the charger connected longer than 2-3 days.
Never keep the phone in excessively hot places. High

temperatures might negatively impact both the battery
and the phone.
Never use a battery that is clearly damaged. Doing so

might cause a short circuit, and might damage the phone.
Check battery installation for proper polarization.
Leaving the battery in excessively hot or cold places will

reduce the battery life. The recommended storage
temperature range is between 15°C and 25°C. Installing

a cold battery into the phone might cause the phone to
malfunction and might damage the phone.
The set contains a Li-ion battery. Old batteries pose

environmental risks. They should be disposed of at a
special place in a special container in compliance with
current regulations. Never throw old batteries or chargers
to municipal solid waste, they should be collected for
disposal.
NEVER PUT BATTERIES AND CHARGERS INTO

FIRE!

SAR Information
This telephone meets all international standards
pertaining to the impact of radio waves. The product both
receives and emits radio waves. It is designed not to
exceed any limits pertaining to impact of radio waves
recommended by international guidelines. These
guidelines were developed by the International
Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection
(ICNIRP), an independent scientific organization with a
safety margin to protect all people regardless their age
and health condition. Such guidelines use a unit of
measurement called Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) –
actual absorption.
As recommended by ICNIRP, the border value of SAR

for portable equipment is 2,0 watts per kilogram (W/kg).
SAR value is determined at the maximum transmit
power; the actual SAR value while the product is working
is usually lower than the indicated level. Such
discrepancies result from automatic changes in device
power necessary to ensure that the device operates at a
minimum power level required to be connected with
network.
Although SAR values might vary for different models of

phones or even for different positions of the same model,
they are all compliant with regulations pertaining to safe
level of radiation.

According to WHO current research, there is no need to
apply any special restrictions in using portable devices.
According to WHO, in order to reduce radiation, a length
of conversation should be reduced, or headset or
speakerphone should be used, or the phone should not
be held in proximity to head or body.
The highest SAR value taken in tests

0.183 W/kg 10g (GSM900)
SAR – next 0.065 W/kg 10g (GSM1800)

to head 0.291 W/kg 10g (WCDMA 900)
0.291 W/kg 10g (WCDMA 2100)
1.45 W/kg 10g (GSM900)
SAR – next 0.584 W/kg 10g (GSM1800)

to body 0.917 W/kg 10g (WCDMA 900)
0.975 W/kg 10g (WCDMA 2100)
SAR values might also vary due to various reporting

and testing requirements in different countries as well
as to different frequencies in a certain network.
