PERSONAL USE
Operation of any radio equipment including mobile phones may interfere with the function of inadequately shielded medical devices such as hearing aids and pacemakers. Please consult the manufacturer of these devices or your physician before use
In oil depots and chemical factories where explosive gas or other products are stored, the user should pay close attention to the restriction on the use of mobile phone. Even if your phone is in the idle mode, it will still transmit radio frequency signals. Therefore, you must switch off when requested to do so.
Note traffic safety. When you are driving, please do no use your mobile phone. Stop on the side of the road when you do need to use it. Avoid making calls with your cellular phone in stormy weather.
Safety Information related with children:
Be cautious of children swallowing the small parts such as the SIM card.
Prevent children from playing with your cell phone as toys. For
6
example, behaviors like throwing, biting the phone, or immersing it into
water should be avoided.
Do not let children less than 14 years old hang the phone around the neck.
MOBILE PHONE USE
Please use only the accessories or parts offered by the manufacturer or those authorized by the manufacturer. Use of unauthorized accessories might influence the performance of the phone. What’s worse, your phone might get damaged and harm will be caused to your body. It might even violate the national regulations on the telecommunication terminal products.
Do not use chemical products like cleaning solvents or detergents to clean your phone. It is recommended that you use slightly damp and static electricity proof cloth instead of cloth that is dry and easy to catch static electricity. Before cleaning, you should switch off your phone.
Your mobile phone produces magnetic fields. Do not place it next to magnetic storage media such as computer diskettes. Operating your mobile phone close to other electrical equipment such as televisions, phones, radios and personal computers may cause interference and therefore influence the performance of your phone.
Do not expose your mobile phone to strong sunlight, direct heat or any liquids in case of any damage.
Harsh handling behaviors such as throwing; beating which might damage the internal integrated circuit of the phone should be avoided.
Please do not link it to other unnecessary equipments.
Note! Non-professionals must not try to dissemble the phone. Phone Precautions!
Use your phone battery only for its intended purpose, and never use any battery charger which is damaged or worn out.
When you unplug your phone from its charger, grasp and pull the plug, not the power cord.
Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to clean your phone. Wipe it with a soft cloth slightly dampened in a mild soap-and-water solution.
Do not attempt to open the casing on your phone or its battery.
Always keep SIM card out of children’s reach.

BATTERY USE
Do not short-circuit the battery terminals. This is dangerous and will damage the battery, produce heat and may cause a fire.
Never dispose of batteries in a fire as it can cause explosion. Return waste batteries to your supplier or an approved recycling center. Do not dispose along with household wastes.
Warning! If the battery case is broken, avoid contact with the contents. Wash contaminated skin with lots of water and seek medical attention.
Battery Precautions!
Avoid dropping the cell phone. Dropping it, especially on a hard surface, can potentially cause damage to the phone and battery. If you suspect damage to the phone or battery, take it to a service center for inspection.
Never use any charger or battery that is damaged in any way.
Use the battery only for its intended purpose.
If you use the phone near the network’s base station, it uses less
power; talk and standby time are greatly affected by the signal strength on the cellular network and the parameters set by the network
operator.
Battery charging time depends on the remaining battery charge and the type of battery and charger used. The battery can be charged and discharged hundreds of times, but it will gradually wear out. When the operation time (talk time and standby time) is noticeably shorter than normal, consider purchasing a new battery.
If left unused, a fully charged battery will fully discharge itself over time.
Extreme temperatures will affect the charging capacity of your battery :
it may require cooling or warming first.
Do not leave the battery in hot or cold places, such as in a car in summer or winter conditions, as it will reduce the capacity and life of the battery. Always try to keep the battery at room temperature. A phone with a hot or cold battery may temporarily not work, even when the battery is fully charged. Batteries are particularly affected by temperatures below 32°F.
Do not place the phone in areas that may get very hot, such as on or near a cooking surface, cooking appliance, iron, or radiator.
Prevent your phone or battery from getting wet. Even though they will dry and appear to operate normally, the circuitry could slowly corrode and pose a safety hazard.
Avoid a battery out of the phone in coming contact with metal objects, such as coins, keys or jewelry.

ON THE ROAD
Before making or receiving calls acquaint yourself thoroughly with the applicable local laws and guidelines regarding the use of mobile radio telephones and always abide by these laws.
Air bags, anti-lock brakes, cruise control and fuel injection systems are normally immune to radio transmissions but if you come across problems, please consult you vehicle dealer.
Turn off your mobile phone when refueling or where there are signs restricting the use of two-way radio equipment. Do not store or carry flammable or explosive materials in the same compartment as your mobile phone because internal sparks could cause ignition.
Safety comes first, and is the ultimate responsibility of the driver. Please:
Give full attention to driving – driving safely is your first responsibility.
Use a Hands-free Kit, if available.
If you have a Hands-free Kit make sure to pre-program numbers when
possible, and keep calls brief and to a minimum.
If you don’t have a Hands-free kit, pull off the road and park your vehicle before making or answering a call in driving conditions so
11
require.
ON AN AIRCRAFT
Switch off your mobile phone before boarding an aircraft. Use of mobile phone is strictly forbidden on an aircraft because of the potential interference with the telecommunication system. If the plane has not taken off yet, you should ask the flight crew for permission before you use your phone. Note! If you have set your phone to Auto Switch ON, please check the Alarm Clock setting status and the Schedule menu to see the reminding time setting so that your phone will not power on automatically during the flight.
EXPLOSIVE A TMOSPHERES AND MA TERIALS
Turn your phone off and do not remove the battery when in any area with a potential explosive atmosphere and obey all signs and instructions. You must observe restrictions on the use of radio equipment in fuel depots; below deck on boats; fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities; areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders; areas with signs about explosive atmospheres or where blasting operations are in progress; any other areas where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engines.

WIRELESS PHONE POSE A HEALTH HARZARD
The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are associated with using wireless phones. There is no proof, however, that wireless phones are absolutely safe.
Wireless phones emit low levels of radio frequency energy (RF) in the microwave range while being used. They also emit very low levels of RF when in the stand­by mode. Whereas high levels of RF can produce health effects(by heating tissue), exposure to low level RF that does not produce heating effects causes no known adverse health effects. Many studies of low level RF exposures have not found any biological effects may occur, but such findings have not been confirmed by additional research. In some cases, other researchers have had difficulty in reproducing those studies, or in determining the reasons for inconsistent results.
NON-IONIZING RADIATION (Exposure to Radio Frequency Signals)
Your phone is a low power radio transmitter and receiver. When it is on, it receives and also sends radio frequency (RF) signals. Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF signals. However, certain electronic equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals from your mobile phone. RF signals
13
may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic systems in motor vehicles. Consult your vehicle manufacturer and the manufacturer of any equipment that has been added to the vehicle.
CAUTION! Read this inf or mat ion carefully before usi n g your ph on e
In August 1996 the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the United States with its action in Report and Order FCC 96-326 adopted an updated safety standards for human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC regulated transmitters. Those guidelines are consistent with the safety standards previously set by both U.S and international standards parties. The design of this phone complies with the FCC guidelines ad these international standards.
BODY-WORN OPERATION
This device has been tested for body-worn operation and meets FCC RF exposure guidelines, and positions the handset at a minimum of body. Use of any body-worn accessories may not compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines.
For more information about RF exposure, please visit the FCC website an
