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.
• TRAFFIC SAFETY:
Given recent studies, which show that using a mobile
telephone 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 telephone
when the vehicle is not parked.
Your mobile phone when powered emits radiation which may
interfere with the vehicle electronic systems such as anti-lock brakes
(ABS, airbag). As a result, you should:
-avoid placing the phone on the dashboard or within an airbag
deployment area.
- connect the phone to an external antenna or switch the phone off.
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 or your car dealer that the
dashboard is adequately shielded from mobile phone RF energy.
• CONDITIONS OF USE:
Switch the phone off before boarding an aircraft to avoid
prosecution.
Switch the phone off when you are in health care facilities, except

• CHARGERS
Mains powered chargers mains will operate within the temperature
range: 0 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 should be used for this purpose only.
• RADIO WAVES:
Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, compliance
with the International guidelines (ICNIRP) or European Directive
1999/5/EC (R&TTE) must be shown.The protection of the health and
the safety for the user and any other person constitute an essential
element of these guidelines or this directive.
THIS MOBILE PHONE MEETS THE INTERNATIONAL AND EU
REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.
Your mobile phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed
and manufactured not to exceed the limits for exposure to radiofrequency (RF) energy recommended by International guidelines
(ICNIRP) (1) and by the Council of the European Union
(Recommendation 1999/519/EC) (2). These limits are part of
comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy
for the general population. The guidelines were developed by
5
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. When the
phone is switched on, avoid placing it near a medical aid device, if you
carry one, such as a pacemaker, one hearing aid or insulin pump.
When using the phone you should hold it against the ear on the
opposite side to the device, if any.
Switch the 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.
Do not let small children use the phone without supervision. Do not
attempt to open or repair it yourself. Use only Alcatel batteries,
battery chargers, and accessories that are compatible with your
phone model. (See Accessories List, chapter 17).Alcatel will not be
held responsible if this is not respected. Do not allow your phone to
be exposed to unfavourable environmental conditions (humidity,rain,
infiltration of liquids, dust, sea air, etc). The manufacturer’s
recommended 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 temporary and not serious.
• BATTERY:
Before removing the battery from your phone,please make sure that
the phone is switched off.Take precautions with the battery and do
not attempt to open the battery (chemical substances may cause
burns). Do not pierce, disassemble 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 any other purpose than the one
intended. Never use damaged batteries.

independent scientific organisations through periodic and thorough
evaluation of scientific studies.The limits include a substantial safety
margin designed to assure 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 stated in the International guidelines or recommended
by the Council of the European Union is 2 watts/kilogram (W/kg)
averaged over 10 grams of body tissue.Tests for SAR are
conducted using standard operating positions with the 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 phone while operating can be well
below the maximum value.This is because the 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
base station antenna, the lower the power output of the phone.
The highest tested SAR value for this mobile phone for use at the ear
and compliance against the standard is 0.43 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.
Your telephone is equipped with a built-in antenna. For optimal
operation, you should avoid touching it or degrading it.
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 site: http://www.who.int/pehemf."

Your telephone is a transceiver that operates on GSM networks
with 900 MHz and 1800 MHz bands.
The marking indicates that your telephone complies with EC
directive 1999/5/EC (R&TTE) and that the accessories concerned
comply with current EC directives. The entire copy of the
Declaration of Conformity for your telephone can be obtained
through Alcatel website: www.alcatel.com.
Pr
otection against theft
Your telephone is identified by an IMEI (phone serial number) shown
on the packaging label and in the product’s memory.We recommend
that you note the number the first time you use your telephone by
entering , , , , 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.
