General Information
Profile
Please read this manual carefully to help you make the most of your phone. Aspera Mobile may change features of
this mobile phone without prior written notice and reserves the final right to interpret the performance of this mobile
phone. Due to different software and network operators, display on your phone may be different, please refer to your
phone for details.
Lost Device
If your phone has been lost or stolen, notify your network service provider as soon as possible and ask for the SIM
card to be disabled (network support is required). This can avoid economic loss caused by unauthorised use.
Safety Warning - Road safety comes first!
Do not use the mobile phone in hand-held mode while driving. Use hands-free fittings when calls are unavoidable
while driving. In some countries/states, dialling or receiving calls while driving is illegal, regardless of hands-free
status. You will need to ensure you are obeying road safety laws by checking the laws of the state/country you are
driving in.
Switch off in aircraft
Wireless devices can cause interference in aircraft. Please make sure to only use your phone when switched to
Aeroplane mode when in an aircraft.
Switch off before entering risk areas
Strictly observe the relevant laws, codes, and regulations on the use of mobile phones in risk areas.
5
Turn off your mobile phone before entering a place susceptible to an explosion, such as an oil station, oil tank,
chemical plant, or a place where a blasting process is under way.
Observe all special regulations
Follow any special regulations in force in any areas such as hospitals and always switch off your phone whenever it
is forbidden to use it or when it may cause interference or danger. Carefully use your mobile phone near medical
apparatuses, such as pacemakers, hearing aids and some other electronic medical devices, as it may cause
interference to such apparatus.
Interference
The conversation quality of any mobile phone may be affected by radio interference. An antenna is built inside the
mobile phone and located near the microphone. Do not touch the antenna area during a conversation; this will cause
conversation quality to deteriorate.
Qualified service
Only qualified Aspera personnel or approved agents may install and/or repair phone Aspera equipment. Installing or
repairing the mobile phone and/or parts by yourself may be dangerous and lead to breakage of warranty terms.
Accessories and batteries
The Aspera F40 box will come with an Aspera charger and battery. The recommended charging time for the Aspera
F40 is three to four hours when the battery is low or depleted. We recommend to not leave it charging overnight, as
this may damage or deteriorate the battery over time.
Please only use Aspera authorised cables, plugs, and batteries for this device.

Headset earphones
The Aspera F40 box will include a pair of earphones. Ensure that the earphones are plugged into the jack correctly to
ensure clarity in the audio, and that the audio jack is clear of any obstructions or material.

The Aspera F40 can warm up when completing different operations. These operations include, but are not limited to:
Utilising the wireless and mobile data functionalities for a multitude of purposes, including but not limited to
video streaming, video recording, accessing the internet, tethering, and more.
Using the device for phone calls

Emergency calls
Ensure the phone is switched on and has service reception, enter the emergency number (e.g. 000), then press the
Dial key. Give your location and state your situation briefly and follow the instructions of service personnel. Do not
end the call until told to do so.
