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.

• 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 1.39W/Kg for use
at the ear and 1.42W/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/

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. 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.

9 10

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 and Industry Canada licence­exempt RSS standard(s). 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 and Industry Canada licence-

exempt RSS standard(s). 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.

down key.

3�1�3 Reverse call functionality

Your phone features a unique Reversible UI, which ensures complete
functionality. When this feature is enabled through the Settings\Display\
Reversible menu, it allows normal calls to be made or received even when
the phone is held upside down. The reversed UI will appear upright and
normal, even if the phone is upside down.

The phone will function normally in all respects as it relates to interacting
with the display, except that the power and volume keys will be on the
opposite sides of their normal position. Also, take care to remember that
the camera lenses (front and back) will be toward the lower edge of the
device when in the reversed orientation. Please note that while a call is
connected (user has selected Answer or Send), the UI will be fixed for
the duration of the call. To disable the Reversible feature, simply go to the
Settings\Display setting menu and uncheck the Reversible box.

Always make a visual inspection of the proper UI orientation when making
or receiving a call to avoid placing the incorrect end of the phone to your
ear. During an active call, if the phone must be taken away from your ear
(eg, switching hands or to the other ear) please use caution not to use the
phone in an orientation opposite that of which was used to originally make
or answer the call. Doing so could cause unwanted, albeit brief, exposure
to additional RF to the user. Only the active receiver (speaker) serving as
the "top" of the device will function during the call so holding the device
inadvertently in the opposite orientation will result in not being able to
hear the other caller from the receiver against the ear. The user just needs
to rotate the device back to the correct position to continue the call. Use
of third-party auto-answer type features is also not recommended.

Upon Reversible feature activation, a pop-up message is displayed to alert
of the proper device operating conditions.

screen will be locked automatically when you put the cellphone
