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 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 antilock
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, 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.

5

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.

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.

6

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.

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.

• 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
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 authorization be 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 mobile phone
(including the operator) disclaim any liability which may result from
the improper use of the mobile phone.

7

• BATTERY:

Before removing the battery from your phone, please make sure that
the phone is switched off.

Observe the following precautions for battery use:

- 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.

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 TCT Mobile Limited and/or its affiliates.

This symbol on your telephone, the battery and the
accessories means that these phones 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 phones with this sign must be brought to these collection points.

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.

8

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:

THIS 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
radio-frequency (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 0.491W/Kg for use at the ear and 1.246 W/Kg for use close to
the body.

9

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/

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.

10

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:

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

(1) This device may not cause harmful interference

(2)This device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation.

Your mobile 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
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
mobile phone at least 10 mm away from the body.
