2 SAFETY AND PRECAUTIONS

When using your telephone, basic safety precautions should
always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock
and injury, including the following:

1. Switch off the phone in the vicinity of chemical plants, gas
stations and other locations containing explosive objects.

2. When driving, please use the hands free calling device
(purchased separately) to ensure safety. Please park the
car at roadside for communication unless in emergency.

3. Switch off the phone when boarding an airplane and do
not switch the phone on during the flight.

4. Be careful when using the mobile phone in the vicinity
of such devices as pacemakers, hearing aids and other
electro-medical equipment, which may be interfered by
the mobile phone.

5. Never attempt to disassemble the phone by yourself.

6. Do not recharge the phone without battery being
installed.

UK

7. Charge the phone in well-ventilated environment and
keep away from inflammable and high explosive articles.

8. To avoid demagnetization, keep the handset away from
magnetic substances, such as magnetic discs or credit
cards.

9. Keep the phone away from liquid. If soaking or erosion
occurs, take the battery out and contact the supplier.

10. Avoid using the phone in too high or too low temperature
environments. Never leave the phone exposed under
direct sunlight, in high humidity or in a dusty environment.

11. Do not use liquid or a damp cloth with strong detergents
to clean the handset.

2.1 Charging your battery

Your device is powered by a rechargeable battery. The full
performance of a new battery is achieved only after two or
three complete charge and discharge cycles. The battery
can be charged and discharged hundreds of times but it will
eventually wear out. When the talking and standby time is
noticeably shorter than normal, please replace the battery.
Use only approved batteries and recharge your battery only
with approved chargers designated for this device.
If a replacement battery is being used for the first time or
if the battery has not been used for a long period, it may
be necessary to connect the charger, disconnect it and then
reconnect it to begin charging the battery.
Unplug the charger from the electrical plug and the device
when not in use. Do not leave a fully charged battery

54

connected to a charger, since overcharging may shorten its
lifetime. If left unused, a fully charged battery will lose its
charge over time.
If the battery is completely discharged, it may take a few
minutes before the charging indicator appears on the display
or before any calls can be made.
Use the battery only for its intended purpose. Never use any
charger or battery that is damaged.
Do not short-circuit the battery. Accidental short-circuiting
will occur when a metallic object such as a coin, clip or pen
causes direct connection of the positive (+) and negative (-)
terminals of 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.
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. A device with a hot or cold
battery may not work temporarily, even when the battery is
fully charged. Battery performance is particularly limited in
temperatures well below freezing.
Do not dispose of batteries in a fire as they may explode.
Batteries may also explode if damaged. Dispose of batteries
according to local regulations. Please recycle when possible.
Do not dispose as household waste.

UK

Note:

Actual operation time of the battery varies according to
operation mode, network settings and call settings.

Note:

•To ensure safety, do not change the parts and accessories

of the battery by yourself or take off the battery shell.

•We suggest you only use the original battery supplied with

your phone to avoid any damage to your phone.

•The temperature range for charging the phone is 0°C

- 40¨C. Do not charge the battery in too high or too low
temperatures.

•Do not use the mobile phone during charging.

•Please don’t keep charging for a long time. Pull out the

charger after the battery is fully charged.

2.2 Further safety information

The unit and the accessories can contain small parts. Keep
them out of the reach of small children.

2.3 Operating environment

Remember to follow any particular rules that may apply
wherever you happen to be and always turn off the unit
whenever its use is forbidden, or it can cause interference or
danger. Only use the units in its normal user position.
This unit complies with guidelines for radiation when it is
used either in a normal position against your ear, or when it
is at least 2.2 cm from your body. If the unit is carried close to

76

your body in a case, belt holder or other holder, these should
not contain any metal and the product should be placed at
the distance from your body specified above.
Parts of the unit are magnetic. The unit can attract metal
object. Do not keep credit cards or other magnetic media
near the unit, as information stored on them can be erase.

2.4 Medical units

The use of equipment that transmits radio signals, e.g.
mobile phones, can interfere with insufficiently protected
medical apparatus. Consult a doctor or the manufacturer
of the apparatus to determine if it has adequate protection
against external radio signals, or if you have any question.
Wherever there is notices to forbidden use of mobile phone,
you should comply. Hospitals and other health care facilities
sometimes use equipment that can be sensitive to external
radio signals.

2.5 Pacemaker

Pacemaker manufacturers recommend a distance at least
15 cm. between a mobile phone and a pacemaker to
avoid the risk of interference with the pacemaker. These
recommendations are in accordance with independent
research and recommendations from Wireless Technology
Research. People with pacemakers should:

•not carry the unit in a breast pocket

•hold the unit against the ear on the opposite side from the

pacemaker to reduce the risk of interference

UK

If you suspect that there is a risk of interference, turn off the
unit and move it further away.

2.6 Hearing aids

Some digital wireless units can cause interference to some
hearing aids. Contact your operator in case of interference.

2.7 Vehicles

Radio signals can affect electronic systems in motor vehicles
(e.g. electronic fuel injection, ABS brakes, automatic cruise
control, air bag systems) that have been incorrectly installed
or are inadequately protected. Contact the manufacturer or
its representative for more information about your vehicle or
any additional equipment.
Do not keep or transport flammable liquid gases or
explosives together with the unit or its accessories. For
vehicles equipped with air bags: remember that air bags fill
with air with considerable force.
Do not place objects, including fixed or portable radio
equipment in the area above the airbag or the area where it
might expand. Serious injuries may be caused if the mobile
phone equipment is incorrectly installed and the airbag fills
with air.

2.8 Areas with explosion risk

Always turn off the unit when you are in an area where there
is a risk of explosion and follow all signs and instructions. An
explosion risk exists in the places that include areas where

98

your normally requested to turn off your car engine. Within
such an area, sparks can cause explosion or fire which can
lead to personal injuries, even death.
Turn off the unit at filling stations i.e. near petrol pumps and
garages.
Follow the restrictions that are in force on the use of radio
equipment near places where fuel is stored and sold,
chemical factories and places where blasting is in progress.
Areas with risk for explosion are often – but not always –
clearly marked. This also applies to below decks on ships:
the transport or storage of chemicals; vehicles that use liquid
fuel (such as propane or butane); areas where the air contains
chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust or metal powder.

2.9 Emergency calls

Important!

Mobile phones use radio signals and the mobile phone
network. This means that connection in all circumstances
cannot be guaranteed.
Therefore you should never rely solely on a mobile phone for
very important calls such as medical emergencies.

2.10 Certification information (SAR)

This model meets international guidelines for exposure to
radio waves. Your mobile device is a radio transmitter and
receiver. It is designed not to exceed the limits for exposure
to radio waves recommended by international guidelines.

UK

These guidelines were developed by the independent
scientific organization ICNIRP and include safety margins
designed to assure the protection of all persons regardless
of age and health.
The guidelines use a unit of measurement known as the
Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The ICNIRP SAR limit for
mobile devices used by the general public is 2.0 W/kg.
As SAR is measured utilising the device’s highest transmitting
power, the actual SAR of the device while operating is
typically below the above indicated level.
This is due to automatic changes to the power level of the
device to ensure it only uses the minimum level requested to
reach the network.

The World Health Organization has stated that present
scientific information does not indicate the need for any
special precaution for the use of mobile devices. They note
that if you want to reduce your exposure then you can do so
by limiting the length of calls or using a “hands-free” device
to keep the mobile phone away from the head and body.
