PROTECT YOUR HEARING

To prevent possible hearing damage, do not listen at high volume levels for long periods. Exercise caution when holding your device near your ear while the loudspeaker is in use.

ensure compliance with RF exposure requirements. Note that the product may be transmitting even if you are not making a phone call.

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 the 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 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 phone RF energy.

• 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.

5 6

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.

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 -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.

Do not open, dismantle, or attempt to repair your phone yourself. Do not drop, throw, or bend your phone. Do not use the phone if the glass 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

TCL Communication Ltd. and its affiliates and are compatible with your phone model. TCL Communication Ltd. and its affiliates disclaim any liability for damage caused by the use of other chargers or batteries.

Remember to make backup copies or keep a written record of all important information stored on 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.

• PRIVACY:

Please note that you must respect the laws and regulations in force in your jurisdiction or other jurisdiction(s) where you will use your phone regarding taking photographs and recording sounds with your phone� 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 reproduce 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 has been obtained, if necessary, in order to record private or confidential conversations or take a photograph of another person; the manufacturer, the seller or vendor of your phone (including the operator) disclaim any liability which may result from improper use of the phone�

• BATTERY:

Following air regulation, the battery of your product is not charged. Please charge it first.

For a non-unibody device:

Observe the following precautions:

- Do not attempt to open the battery (due to the risk of toxic fumes and burns);

- Do not puncture, disassemble, or cause a short circuit in a battery;

- Do not burn or dispose of a used battery in household rubbish or store it at temperatures above 60°C (140°F).

Batteries must be disposed of in accordance with locally applicable environmental regulations. Only use the battery for the purpose for which it was designed. Never use damaged batteries or those not recommended by TCL Communication Ltd. and/or its affiliates.

For a non-unibody device with a non-removable battery:

Observe the following precautions:

- Do not attempt to eject, replace or open the battery;

- Do not puncture, disassemble, or cause a short circuit in the battery;

This symbol on your phone, the battery, and the accessories means that these products must be taken to collection points at the end of their life:

- Municipal waste disposal centres with specific bins for these items of equipment;

- Collection bins at points of sale.

They will then be recycled, preventing substances being disposed of in the environment, so that their components can be reused.

In European Union countries:

These collection points are accessible free of charge. All products with this sign must be brought to these collection points.

7 8

In non-European Union jurisdictions:

Items of equipment with this symbol are not to be thrown into ordinary bins if your jurisdiction or your region has suitable recycling and collection facilities; instead they are to be taken to collection points for them to be recycled.

CAUTION: RISK OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS REPLACED 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 phone meet the standard for safety of information technology equipment and office equipment use. They are also compliant with 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 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 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.

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:

5085Y

Maximum SAR for this model and conditions under which it was

recorded Head SAR Body-worn SAR

5085D

UMTS 900 + Wi-Fi 0.88 W/kg LTE Band 7 + Wi-Fi 1.54 W/kg

Maximum SAR for this model and conditions under which it was

recorded Head SAR Body-worn SAR

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 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.alcatel-mobile.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 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.

UMTS 900 + Wi-Fi 0.96 W/kg GSM 900 + Wi-Fi 1.63 W/kg

Before contacting the service center, here are some instructions to help you troubleshoot your device:

•For optimal operation, fully charge the battery.

•To improve the phone’s performance, remove unnecessary files or

apps on your phone.

•Update your phone's software via the Updates application. Or you can touch Settings > About phone > Updates to update software.

•Reset your phone via Factory data reset. Touch Settings > Backup & reset > Factory data reset > RESET PHONE. Another method is to

hold down the Power key and the Volume up key at the same time when your phone is powered off. All your phone data will be lost permanently. It is strongly advised to fully back up your phone data before resetting.

Carry out the following checks:

My phone can't be switched on or is frozen

•When the phone can't be switched on, charge for at least 20 minutes to ensure the minimum battery power needed. Then switch it on again.

•When the phone falls into a loop during power on animation and the user interface can't be accessed, press and hold the Volume down key to enter Recovery mode. This eliminates any abnormal OS booting issues caused by third party applications.

•If neither method is effective, reset the phone using the Power key and the Volume up key (holding both together) or update software via the Updates application.

My phone has not responded for several minutes

•If your phone doesn’t respond, turn off your phone by pressing and holding the Power key until it turns off and then restart it again.
