section.

Safety and use ...............................

We recommend that you read this chapter carefully
before using your phone. The manufacturer disclaims
any liability for damage, which may result as a
consequence of improper use or use contrary to the
instructions contained herein.

TRAFFIC SAFETY:

Given that studies show that using a phone while
driving a vehicle constitutes a real risk, even when a
hands-free kit is used (car kit, headset...), drivers are
requested to refrain from using their phone when the
vehicle is not parked.

When driving, do not use your phone and headset to
listen to music or to the radio. Using a headset can be
dangerous and forbidden in some areas.

When switched on, your phone emits electromagnetic
waves that can interfere with the vehicle’s electronic
systems such as ABS anti-lock brakes or airbags. To
ensure that there is not a problem:

- Do not place your phone on top of the dashboard or
within an airbag deployment area;

- Check with your car dealer or the car manufacturer
to make sure that the dashboard is adequately shielded
from the phone's electromagnetic waves.

CONDITIONS OF USE:

You are advised to switch off the phone from time to
time to optimise its performance.

Switch the phone off before boarding an aircraft.
Switch the phone off when you are in health care

facilities, except in designated areas. As with many
other types of equipment now in regular use, phones
can interfere with other electrical or electronic devices,
or equipment using radio frequency.

Switch the phone off when you are near gas
or flammable liquids. Strictly obey all signs and
instructions posted in a fuel depot, petrol station,
or chemical plant, or in any potentially explosive
atmosphere.

When the phone is switched on, it should be kept
at least 15 cm from any medical device such as a
pacemaker, a hearing aid, or an insulin pump, etc. In
particular when using the phone, you should hold it
against the ear on the opposite side to the device, if
any.

To avoid hearing impairment, pick up the call before
holding your phone to your ear. Also move the phone
away from your ear while using the "hands-free" mode
because the amplified volume might cause hearing
damage.

Do not let children use the phone and/or play with the
phone and accessories without supervision.

If your phone has a removable cover, note that your
phone may contain substances that could create an
allergic reaction.

If your phone is a unibody device, the back cover and
battery are not removable. If you disassemble your
phone the warranty will not apply. Disassembling the
phone may damage the battery, and may cause leakage
of substances that could create an allergic reaction.

Always handle your phone with care and keep it in a
clean and dust-free place.

Do not allow your phone to be exposed to adverse
weather or environmental conditions (moisture,
humidity, rain, infiltration of liquids, dust, sea air,
etc.). The manufacturer’s recommended operating
temperature range is 0°C (32°F) to +40°C (104°F).

At over 40°C (104°F) the legibility of the phone’s
display may be impaired, though this is temporary and
not serious.

Radio waves ...................................

Proof of compliance with international standards
(ICNIRP) or with European Directive 2014/53/EU
(RED) is required of all phone models before they can
be put on the market. The protection of the health and
safety for the user and any other person is an essential
requirement of these standards or this directive.

THIS DEVICE MEETS INTERNATIONAL GUIDELINES
FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.

Your phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It
is designed not to exceed the limits for exposure
to radio waves (radio frequency electromagnetic
fields) recommended by international guidelines. The
guidelines were developed by an independent scientific

13 14

organisation (ICNIRP) and include a substantial safety
margin designed to assure the safety of all persons,
regardless of age and health.

The radio wave exposure guidelines use a unit of
measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate,
or SAR. The SAR limit for mobile devices is 2 W/kg for
Head SAR and Body-worn SAR, and 4 W/kg for Limb
SAR.

Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating
positions with the device transmitting at its highest
certified power level in all tested frequency bands. The
highest SAR values under the ICNIRP guidelines for
this device model are:

Maximum SAR for this model and conditions under

which it was recorded

Head SAR GSM 900 1.48 W/kg

Body-worn SAR (5
mm)

Limb SAR (0 mm) LTE Band 7 3.31 W/kg

During use, the actual SAR values for this phone are
usually well below the values stated above. This is
because, for purposes of system efficiency and to
minimise interference on the network, the operating
power of your phone is automatically decreased when
full power is not needed for the call. The lower the

LTE Band 28 1.66 W/kg

power output of the phone, the lower its SAR value.
Body-worn SAR testing has been carried out at a

separation distance of 5 mm. To meet RF exposure
guidelines during body-worn operation, the phone
should be positioned at least this distance away from
the body.

If you are not using an approved accessory ensure that
whatever product is used is free of any metal and that
it positions the phone the indicated distance away
from the body.

Organisations such as the World Health Organisation
and the US Food and Drug Administration have stated
that if people are concerned and want to reduce their
exposure they could use a hands-free device to keep
the phone away from the head and

body during phone calls, or reduce the amount of time
spent on the phone.

For more information, you can go to www.
alcatelmobile.com

Additional information about electromagnetic fields
and public health are available on the following site:
http://www.who.int/peh-emf.

Your phone is equipped with a built-in antenna. For
optimal operation, you should avoid touching it or
degrading it.

As mobile devices offer a range of functions, they can
be used in positions other than against your ear. In

15 16

such circumstances the phone will be compliant with
the guidelines when used with a headset or USB data
cable. If you are using another accessory ensure that
whatever product is used is free of any metal and that
it positions the phone at least 5 mm away from the
body.

If you connect your device to networks or other
devices (like for example Wifi, Bluetooth, NFC, or any
other method) please note that some of your personal
data may be shared with them. It is under your own
responsibility to protect your own personal data, not
to share with it with any unauthorised devices or
third party devices connected to yours. For products

networks. Also when using your product as a hotspot
(where available), ensure your network security.
These precautions will help prevent unauthorised
access to your phone. Your product can store personal
information in various locations including a SIM card,
memory card and built-in memory. Be sure to remove
or clear all personal information before you recycle,
return, or give away your product. Choose your
