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.

Your device has been tested in a controlled environment and certified to
be water and dust-resistant in specific situations (meets requirements of
classification IP67 as described by the international standard IEC 60529 ­Degrees of Protection provided by Enclosures [IP Code]; test conditions:
15 - 35 °C, 86 - 106 kPa, 1 metre, 30 minutes). Despite this classification,
your device is not impervious to water damage in any situation.
Make sure SIM/SD cover is tightly closed for IP67 features. Otherwise,
they may not provide protection from water and dust.

22 23

• 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 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, 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.
Note that your phone is a unibody device, the back cover and battery
are not removable. Do not attempt to disassemble your phone. If you
disassemble your phone the warranty will not apply. Also 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 dust­free 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 +45°C.
At over 45°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, 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

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:

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 authorisation 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.

• BATTERY:

Note your phone is a unibody device, the back cover and battery are not
removable. Observe the following precautions:

- Do not attempt to open the back cover,

- Do not attempt to eject, replace and open battery,

- Do not punctuate the back cover of your phone,

- Do not burn or dispose of your phone in household rubbish or store
it at temperature above 60°C.

Phone and battery as a unibody device must be disposed of in accordance
with locally applicable environmental regulations.

This symbol on your telephone, 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 types 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.

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 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
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 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:

Maximum SAR for this model and conditions under which

Head SAR

Body-worn SAR

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.

it was recorded.

LTE Band 7+Wi-Fi 1.047 W/kg

GSM 900+Wi-Fi 0.935 W/kg

26 27

Body-worn SAR testing has been carried out at a separation distance of

1.0 cm. To meet RF exposure guidelines during body-worn 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.
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.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 1.0
cm away from the body.
Note by using the device some of your personal data may be shared
with the main device. 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 with
Wi-Fi features, only connect to trusted Wi-Fi networks. Also when using
your product as a hotspot (where available), use network security. These
precautions will help prevent unauthorised access to your device. Your
