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 headphone to listen to music or to
the radio. Using a headphone 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.
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.
When replacing the cover please note that your mobile phone may contain
substances that could create an allergic reaction.
Always handle your mobile phone with care and keep it in a clean and dust-free place.
Do not allow your mobile 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 (14°F) to +55°C
(131°F)(the max value depends on device, materials and housing paint/texture).
Over 55°C (131°F) the legibility of the mobile phone’s display may be impaired,
though this is temporary and not serious.
Do not open or attempt to repair your mobile phone yourself.
Do not drop, throw or try to bend your mobile phone.
Do not use the mobile phone if the glass made screen, is damaged, cracked or broken
to avoid any injury.
Do not paint it.

TCT Mobile Limited and its affiliates and are compatible with your mobile phone
model.
TCT Mobile Limited and its affiliates disclaim any liability for damage caused by the
use of other chargers or batteries.
Your mobile phone should not be disposed of in a municipal waste. Please 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.
Prolonged exposure to music at full volume using the music player may
damage your hearing. Set your mobile phone’s volume to it’s lowest setting
prior to inserting headphones in your ears and adjust the volume to your
preference. Only use headphones that are recommended by TCT Mobile
Limited and it’s affiliates.
• 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 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 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.

40°C (104°F).
The chargers designed for your mobile phone meet with the standard for safety
of information technology equipment and office equipment use. 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.
Characteristics of power supply (depending on the country):
Travel charger: Input: 100-240 V, 50/60 Hz, 0.15 A
Output: 5 V, 550/1000 mA
Battery: Lithium 1530 mAh
• 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 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 1.3 W/Kg for use
at the ear and 1.2 W/Kg for use close to the body.
7 8
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.phonefacts.net
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:
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions:
9 10
(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.
