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

We recommend that you read this chapter carefully before using your mobile
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 phone
when the vehicle is not parked. Check the laws and regulations on the use of
wireless mobile phones and their accessories in the areas where you drive.
Always obey them. The use of these devices may be prohibited or restricted
in certain areas.

When driving, do not use your mobile 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 mobile 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 mobile 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 car’s
electronic devices are shielded from mobile phone RF energy.

• CONDITIONS OF USE:

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

Remember to abide by local authority rules of mobile phone use on aircrafts.
Operational Warnings: Obey all posted signs when using mobile devices in

public areas.
Follow Instructions to Avoid Interference Problems: Turn off your mobile device

in any location where posted notices instruct you to do so. In an aircraft, turn
off your mobile device whenever instructed to do so by airline staff. If your
mobile device offers an airplane mode or similar feature, consult airline staff
about using it in flight.

4

Switch the mobile 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 phones can interfere with other electrical or electronic devices, or
equipment using radio frequency.

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

When the mobile 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. In
particular when using the mobile phone you should hold it against the ear on
the opposite side to the device, if any.

Read and follow the directions from the manufacturer of your implantable
medical device. If you have any questions about using your mobile device with
your implantable medical device, consult your healthcare provider.

To avoid hearing impairment, answer the call before holding your mobile
phone to your ear. Also move the handset away from your ear while using
the “hands-free” option because the amplified volume might cause hearing
damage.

It is recommended to have proper supervision while small children use your
mobile phone.

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 mobile phone with care and keep it in a clean and dust­free place.

check local regulations for disposal of electronic products.

Remember to make back-up copies or keep a written record of all important
information stored in your mobile 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 mobile phone or enabling a flashing-lights feature on your mobile
phone. Parents should monitor their children’s use of video games or other
features that incorporate flashing lights on the mobile 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:

- Play at the farthest distance possible from the screen. When you play games
on your mobile phone, you may experience occasional discomfort in your
hands, arms, shoulders, neck, or other parts of your body. Follow these
instructions to avoid problems such as tendinitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, or
other musculoskeletal disorders:

- Take a minimum of a 15-minute break every hour of game playing.

- 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.

PROTECT YOUR HEARING

To prevent possible hearing damage, do not listen at high volume

• RADIO WAVES:

THIS MOBILE PHONE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT’S REQUIREMENTS
FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.

Your mobile phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and
manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio­frequency (RF) energy. These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines
and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The
guidelines are based on standards that were developed by independent
scientific organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific
studies. These guidelines include a substantial safety margin designed to
ensure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.

The exposure standard for mobile phones employs a unit of measurement
known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by public
authorities such as the Federal Communications Commission of the US
Government (FCC), or by Industry Canada, is 1.6 W/kg averaged over 1
gram of body tissue. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating
positions with the mobile phone transmitting at its highest certified power level
in all tested frequency bands.

Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual
SAR level of the mobile phone while operating can be well below the maximum
value. This is because the mobile phone is designed to operate at multiple
power levels so as to use only the power required to reach the network. In
general, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the
power output of the mobile phone. Before a mobile phone model is available
for sale to the public, compliance with national regulations and standards must
be shown.

The highest SAR value for this model mobile phone when tested is 0.64 W/Kg
for use at the ear and 1.37 W/Kg for use close to the body.

While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various mobile
phones and at various positions, they all meet the government requirement
for RF exposure. For body-worn operation, the mobile phone meets FCC RF
exposure guidelines provided that it is used with a non-metallic accessory with
the handset at least 10 mm from the body. Use of other accessories may not
ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines.

Additional information on SAR can be found on the Cellular Telecommunications
& Internet Association (CTIA) Web site: http://www.ctia.org/

9

The World Health Organization (WHO) considers that present scientific
information does not indicate the need for any special precautions for use of
mobile phones. If individuals are concerned, they might choose to limit their
own or their children’s RF exposure by limiting the length of calls, or using
“hands-free” devices to keep mobile phones away from the head and body.
(fact sheet n°193). Additional WHO information about electromagnetic fields
and public health are available on the following website: http://www.who.int/
peh-emf.

Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for
a Class B digital device pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits
are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference
in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate
radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with
the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the
user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the
following measures:

- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which
the receiver is connected.

- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/ TV technician for help.

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

For the receiver devices associated with the operation of a licensed radio
service (e.g. FM broadcast), they bear the following statement:

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the
condition that this device does not cause harmful interference.

For other devices, they bear the following statement:

10

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to
the following two conditions:
