SAFETY AND PRECAUTIONS

We recommend that you read this chapter carefully before use.The manufacturer disclaims any liability for damage which may result as a consequence of improper use or use contrary to the instructions contained herein.

• CONDITIONS OF USE:

Switch the phone off before boarding an aircraft.Use could lead to legal action against the user .Switch the phone off when in health care facilities except in areas speciﬁed. Like many other types of equipment now in regular use,mobile telephones can interfere with other electrical or electronic devices in their proximity.Persons with a medical device (such as a pacemaker, hearing aid, insulin pump) should not carry the phone in a place close to the device. When placing or receiving a call, persons with a pacemaker or hearing aid should hold the telephone against the ear on the opposite side to the device if any.

Switch your phone off when near gas or ﬂammable liquids. Strictly obey all signs and instructions when in a fuel depot or chemical plant, at a refuelling point (service station) or in any potentially explosive atmosphere. Do not let small children use the phone without supervision. Do not attempt to open or repair it yourself. Use only the batteries, battery chargers and accessories approved by the manufacturer. The manufacturer disclaims any liability for damage caused by use of other batteries, chargers or accessories. Do not expose the phone to unfavourable environmental conditions (humidity, rain, infiltration of liquids, dust, sea air, etc.). The manufacturer’ s r ecommended operating temperature range is:-20 °C to +40 °C. Over 55°C the legibility of the phone’s display may be impaired,though this is temporar y and not serious.

• BATTERY:

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

Battery use precautions are: do not attempt to open the battery (chemical substances may cause burns), do not pierce nor cause a short-circuit in a battery,do not burn or dispose of a used battery in household waste or store it at temperatures above 60 °C.Batteries must be disposed of in accordance with locally applicable environmental legislation. Batteries should not be used for other purpose than the one they are designed for. Never use damaged batteries.

•TRAFFIC SAFETY:

Remember to always check whether local legislation allows operation of a mobile phone while driving a vehicle. When it is said that the use of mobile phones while driving a vehicle is a risk factor, we strongly recommend that you park the car before using the phone. However if you intend to use your phone while driving,you must use it connected to the Alcatel Car Kit accessory.

Your mobile phone when powered emits radiation likely to interfere with the vehicle electronic systems such as anti-lock brakes (ABS, airbag).Consequently, you should:

- avoid placing the phone on the dashboard

- connect imperatively the phone to an external antenna. The antenna should be mounted and located away from the driver and passengers or separated from them by a metal screen (e.g.the car roof).

- check with the car manufacturer that the dashboard is adequately shielded from mobile phone RF energy.

• ELECTRONIC W A VES:

THIS MOBILE PHONE COMPLIES WITH EUROPEAN REQUIREMENTS ON ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVES.

Validation of conformity with European directive 1999/5/EC (R&TTE) is a requirement prior to launching any mobile phone model on the market. Protection of public health and safety, in particular the mobile phone users’ is the main aspect in this directive.

Your mobile phone is a radio transceiver. It has been designed to operate under certain thresholds of exposure to Radio frequencies (RF) recommended by the European Union Council (1) for people and users. They were established by independent expert groups based on scientiﬁc evaluations which are carried out regularly and in detail. These limits allow for signiﬁcant safety margin in order to ensure everyone’s security whatever his or her age and health condition.

Standard of exposure for mobile phones is determined by a measurement standard called Speciﬁc Absorption Rate (SAR). The SAR limit recommended by the European Union Council is 2.0 w/kg (2). Testing has been performed on telephones emitting at maximal strength level for all frequency bandwidths,on the basis of standard using modes as deﬁned by the current speciﬁcations.Although SARs are tested at the highest strength possible, the actual SAR level in a mobile phone in current use is normally way below the maximum values obtained during the tests. Your mobile phone is designed to operate at a level of strength strictly necessary to allow for its connection to the network.In principle , the closer you are to a base station antenna,the lower the mobile phone’s SAR strength level.

Your telephone is equipped with a built-in antenna. For optimal operation,you should avoid touching it or degrading it.

(1) EC Recommendation 1999/519/EC (2) SAR limit on mobile phones in general is 2.0 watts/kg

at average for 10 g of human tissue.The limit includes a signiﬁcant safety margin to increase the user’s protection and take into account measurements variation.

Your telephone is designed to emit and receive calls. It operates on GSM networks with 900 MHz and 1800 MHz bands.

The EC directive 1999/5/EC (R&TTE) and the accessories with applicable EC directives.The entire copy of the Declaration of Conformity for your telephone can be obtained on Alcatel website www.alcatel.com.

To make it easier to write short messages,your phone has an assisted data entry system (predictive data entry) (1). To create a word, all that is needed is a single keypress on the key for any of the letters which the word contains.

The character displayed may not correspond to the one you entered;the system suggests the most usual word. Do not worry about the words initially suggested,go on typing, the system will make better suggestions as you type.

The cursor shape varies with the selected entry mode: predictive mode normal mode
