Do not allow children to use your mobile phone without supervision.
Do not open or attempt to repair your mobile phone yourself.
Only use your telephone with Alcatel batteries, chargers and accessories compatible with your
model (see page 70).TCL & Alcatel Mobile Phones Limited and its affiliates disclaim any liability for
damage caused by the use of other chargers or batteries.
Do not allow your phone to be exposed to adverse weather or environmental conditions
(dampness, rain, infiltration, dust, sea air, etc .). The minimum and maximum temperatures
recommended by the manufacturer are between -10°C and +55°C. Beyond 55°C, the legibility of
the display may be impaired,but this is temporar y and not serious.
• 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, do not burn
batteries or dispose of them in household rubbish, and do not expose to temperatures in excess
of 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 batteries not recommended by TCL & Alcatel Mobile Phones Limited and/or its
affiliates.
• CHARGERS:
Mains powered chargers will operate within the temperature range: 0° to 40°.
The chargers designed for your mobile phone meet with the standard for safety of information
technology equipment and office equipment use. They should be used for charging your mobile
phone only.
5
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 in this manual.
• TRAFFIC SAFETY:
Given recent studies, which show that using a mobile phone while driving a vehicle constitutes a
real risk, even when the hands-free kit is used (headset...), drivers are requested to refrain from
using their mobile when the vehicle is not parked
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 dealer or car manufacturer to make sure that the car electronics is well
insulated.
• CONDITIONS OF USE:
Always treat the phone with care and in a clean and dust-free place.
Switch off the phone before boarding an aircraft to avoid prosecution.
Switch off the phone when you are in health care facilities,except in designated areas.As with other
types of equipment now in regular use, mobile phones can interfere with the operation of other
electric, electronic or radio frequency devices in their vicinity.When the telephone is on, it should
not come closer than 15cm to any medical device (i.e. cardiac pacemaker,hearing aid, insulin pump,
etc.).
Switch the phone off when you are near gas or flammable liquids. Strictly obey the rules relating to
the use of mobile phones at fuel depots, petrol stations, chemical plants or in any potentially
explosive atmosphere.

Although the SAR was established at the highest certified level, the actual SAR level for the phone
during use is generally much lower than the maximum values. In fact, since mobiles are designed to
operate at many different power levels, they only use the minimum level of power required to
provide a connection to the network. In theory, the closer you are to a base station antenna, the
lower the power level required by the mobile phone.
The highest tested SAR value for this mobile phone for use at the ear and compliance against the
standard is 0.65 W/kg. While there may be differences between the SAR levels on various phones
and at various positions, they all meet the relevant international guidelines and EU requirements
for RF exposure.
The World Health Organisation (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 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.

• 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 MOBILE PHONE COMPLIES WITH INTERNATIONAL AND EUROPEAN REQUIREMENTS
REGARDING EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.
Your mobile phone is a radio transmitter/receiver.It was deigned and manufactured to comply with
the radiofrequency (RF) exposure thresholds recommended by international requirements
(ICNIRP)
(1)
and by the Council of the European Union (Recommendation 1999/519/EC)
(2)
.
These limits are part of a set of requirements and establish authorized radiofrequency levels for
the public.These limits were established by groups of independent experts on the basis of regular
and detailed scientific assessments.They include a significant safety margin intended to ensure the
safety of all, regardless of age or state of health.
The exposure standard for mobile phones is determined by a measurement unit known as the
Specific Absorption Rate or “SAR”. The SAR limit is set by international requirements or by the
Council of the European Union at 2 watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged over ten grams of body tissue.
The tests used to determine SAR levels were carried out on the basis of standard usage modes
with the phones transmitting at their maximum power level over the entire range of frequency
bands.
6
(1)
The ICNIRP requirements are applicable in the following regions:
Central America (except Mexico), South America, South and North
Africa, Pacific Asia (except Taiwan and Korea) and Australia.
(2)
The European recommendation (1999/519/EC) is applicable in the
following regions: Europe, Israel.
OH1_UM_GB_21-10-04 28/10/04 9:09 Page 6
Protection against theft
Your mobile phone has an identification number called IMEI (phone serial
number) shown on the packaging label and in the product’s memory.We
recommend that you note this number the first time you use your
telephone by entering *, #, 0, 6, # and keep it safely. It may be requested
by the police or your operator if your telephone is stolen. This number
allows your mobile telephone to be blocked, preventing a third person
from using it, even with a different SIM card.
