Safety and use11 .........
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 mobile phone while driving
a vehicle constitutes a real risk, even when the hands-free kit is
used (car kit, headset...), drivers are requested to refrain from
using their mobile when the vehicle is not parked.
When driving, do not use your phone and headphone to listen to
music or to the radio. Using a headphone 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 no
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 mobile
phone RF energy.
• CONDITIONS OF USE:
You are advised to switch off the telephone 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, mobile telephones 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,
Page 11
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
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 handset 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 telephone
and accessories without supervision.
When replacing the cover please note that your phone may
contain 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 -10°C to +55°C.
At over 55°C the legibility of the phone’s display may be impaired,
though this is temporary and not serious.
Emergency call numbers may not be reachable on all cellular
networks. You should never rely only on your phone for
emergency calls.
Do not open, dismantle or attempt to repair your mobile phone
yourself.
Do not drop, throw or bend your mobile phone.
Do not use the phone if the glass made screen, is damaged,
cracked or broken to avoid any injury.
Do not paint it.
Use only batteries, battery chargers, and accessories which are
recommended by TCT Mobile Limited and its affiliates and are
compatible with your phone model. TCT Mobile Limited and
its affiliates disclaim any liability for damage caused by the use of
other chargers or batteries.
2122
Remember to make back-up copies or keep a written record of
all important information stored in your phone.
Some people may suffer epileptic seizures or blackouts when
exposed to flashing lights, or when playing video games. These
seizures or blackouts may occur even if a person never had a
previous seizure or blackout. If you have experienced seizures
or blackouts, or if you have a family history of such occurrences,
please consult your doctor before playing video games on your
phone or enabling a flashing-lights feature on your phone.
Parents should monitor their children’s use of video games or
other features that incorporate flashing lights on the phones. All
persons should discontinue use and consult a doctor if any of the
following symptoms occur: convulsion, eye or muscle twitching,
loss of awareness, involuntary movements, or disorientation. To
limit the likelihood of such symptoms, please take the following
safety precautions:
- Do not play or use a flashing-lights feature if you are tired or
need sleep.
- Take a minimum of a 15-minute break hourly.
- Play in a room in which all lights are on.
- Play at the farthest distance possible from the screen.
- If your hands, wrists, or arms become tired or sore while
playing, stop and rest for several hours before playing again.
- If you continue to have sore hands, wrists, or arms during or
after playing, stop the game and see a doctor.
When you play games on your phone, you may experience
occasional discomfort in your hands, arms, shoulders, neck,
or other parts of your body. Follow the instructions to avoid
problems such as tendinitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, or other
musculoskeletal disorders.
Prolonged exposure to music at full volume may damage
the listener’s hearing. Set your phone volume safely. Use
only headphones recommended by TCT Mobile Limited
and its affiliates.

force in your jurisdiction or other jurisdiction(s) where you
will use your mobile phone regarding taking photographs and
recording sounds with your mobile telephone. Pursuant to
such laws and regulations, it may be strictly forbidden to take
photographs and/or to record the voices of other people or any
of their personal attributes, and duplicate or distribute them,
as this may be considered to be an invasion of privacy. It is the
user’s sole responsibility to ensure that prior authorisation be
obtained, if necessary, in order to record private or confidential
conversations or take a photograph of another person; the

BY AN INCORRECT TYPE. DISPOSE OF USED BATTERIES
ACCORDING TO THE INSTRUCTIONS
• CHARGERS
Mains powered chargers will operate within the temperature
range of: 0 °C to 40 °C.
The chargers designed for your mobile phone meet with the
standard for safety of information technology equipment and
office equipment use. They are also compliant to the ecodesign
directive 2009/125/EC. Due to different applicable electrical
specifications, a charger you purchased in one jurisdiction may
not work in another jurisdiction. They should be used for this
purpose only.
• RADIO WAVES:
Proof of compliance with international standards (ICNIRP) or
with European Directive 1999/5/EC (R&TTE) is required of all
mobile 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.
Page 13
Your mobile device 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 organization (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.
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
Head SARGSM 9000.802 W/kg
Body-worn SARUMTS 21000.691 W/kg
During use, the actual SAR values for this device are usually well
below the values stated above. This is because, for purposes of
system efficiency and to minimize interference on the network,
the operating power of your mobile device is automatically
decreased when full power is not needed for the call. The lower
the power output of the device, the lower its SAR value.
Body-worn SAR testing has been carried out at a separation
distance of 1.5 cm. To meet RF exposure guidelines during bodyworn operation, the device 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.
was recorded.
2526
Organizations such as the World Health Organization 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.alcatelonetouch.com
Additional information about electromagnetic fields and public
health are available on the following site: http://www.who.int/
peh-emf.
Your telephone 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 such circumstances
the device will be compliant with the guidelines when used with
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 1.5 cm away from the body.
