Safety warnings
Keep your device away from small children and pets
Keep your device and all accessories out of the reach of small children or
animals. Small parts may cause choking or serious injury if swallowed.
Protect your hearing
Excessive exposure to sound at high volumes can cause hearing damage.
Always turn the volume down before plugging the earphones into an audio
source and use only the minimum volume setting necessary to hear your
conversation or music.
Install mobile devices and equipment with caution
Ensure that any mobile devices or related equipment installed in your vehicle
are securely mounted. Avoid placing your device and accessories near or in an
air bag deployment area. Improperly installed wireless equipment can cause
serious injury when air bags inflate rapidly.
Handle and dispose of batteries and chargers with care
Use only approved batteries and chargers specifically designed for your
device. Incompatible batteries and chargers can cause serious injuries or
damage to your device. Never dispose of batteries or devices in a fire.
Follow all local regulations when disposing of used batteries or devices.
Never place batteries or devices on or in heating devices, such as
microwave ovens, stoves, or radiators. Batteries may explode when
overheated.
Never crush or puncture the battery. Avoid exposing the battery to high
external pressure, which can lead to an internal short circuit and
overheating.
Avoid interference with pacemakers
Maintain a minimum of 15 cm (6 inches) between mobile devices and
pacemakers to avoid potential interference, as recommended by manufacturers
and the independent research group, Wireless Technology Research. If you
have any reason to suspect that your device is interfering with a pacemaker or
other medical device, turn off the device immediately and contact the
manufacturer of the pacemaker or medical device for guidance.
Turn off the device in potentially explosive environments
Do not use your device at refueling points (service stations) or near fuels or
chemicals. Turn off your device whenever directed by warning signs or
instructions. Your device could cause explosions or fire in and around fuel or
chemical storage and transfer areas or blasting areas. Do not store or carry
flammable liquids, gases, or explosive materials in the same compartment as
the device, its parts, or accessories.
Reduce the risk of repetitive motion injuries
While using your device, hold the device with a relaxed grip, press the keys
lightly, use special features that reduce the number of keys you have to press
(such as templates and predictive text), and take frequent breaks.
Do not use the device if the screen is cracked or broken
Broken glass or acrylic could cause injury to your hand and face. Damage
caused by careless handling will void your manufacturer’s warranty.
Drive safely at all times
Avoid using your device while driving and obey all regulations that restrict the
use of mobile devices while driving. Use hands-free accessories to increase
your safety when possible.
Turn off the device near medical equipment
Your device can interfere with medical equipment in hospitals or health care
facilities. Follow all regulations, posted warnings, and directions from medical
personnel.
Turn off the device or disable the wireless functions when in an aircraft
Your device can cause interference with aircraft equipment. Follow all airline
regulations and turn off your device or switch to a mode that disables the
wireless functions when directed by airline personnel.
Protect the device, batteries and chargers from damage
Avoid exposing your device and batteries to very cold or very hot
temperatures (below -10° C or above 55° C).
Extreme temperatures can cause the deformation of the device and reduce
the charging capacity and life of your device and batteries.
Prevent batteries from contacting metal objects, as this can create a
connection between the + and - terminals of your batteries and lead to
temporary or permanent battery damage.
Never use a damaged charger or battery.
Avoid interference with other electronic devices
Your device emits radio frequency (RF) signals that may interfere with
unshielded or improperly shielded electronic equipment, such as pacemakers,
hearing aids, medical devices, and other electronic devices in homes or vehicles.
Consult the manufacturers of your electronic devices to solve any interference
problems you experience.
Important usage information
Use your device in the normal position Avoid contact with your device’s
internal antenna.
Handle SIM cards or memory cards with care
Do not remove a card while the device is transferring or accessing
information, as this could result in loss of data and/or damage to the card or
device.
Protect cards from strong shocks, static electricity, and electrical noise from
other devices.
Do not touch gold-colored contacts or terminals with your fingers or metal
objects. If dirty, wipe the card with a soft cloth.
RF Exposure Information (SAR)
This mobile phone meets the government’s requirements for exposure to radio
waves. This phone is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission
limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal
Communications Commission of the U.S. Government.
The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a unit of
measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set
by the FCC is 1.6W/kg. *Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating
positions accepted by the FCC 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 poser required to reach
the network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna,
the lower the power output.
The highest SAR value for the model phone as reported to the FCC when tested
for use at the ear is 0.73 W/kg and when worn on the body, as described in this
user guide, is 1.5 W/kg (Body-worn measurements differ among phone models,
depending upon available accessories and FCC requirements.)
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones and
at various positions, they all meet the government requirement.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model phone with all
reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure
guidelines. SAR information on this model phone is on file with the FCC and can
be found under the Display Grant section of www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid after
searching on FCC ID: QVZ-QB57
For body worn operation, this phone has been tested and meets the FCC RF
exposure guidelines for use with an accessory that contains no metal and the
positions the handset a minimum of 1 cm from the body. Use of other
accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines. If
you do no t use a body-worn accessory and are not holding the phone at the ear,
position the handset a minimum of 1 cm from your body when the phone is
switched on.
FCC Regulations:
15.19(a)(3):
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference,
and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference
that may cause undesired operation.
15.105(b):
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 will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does
cause harmful 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.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user‘s authority to operate the equipment.
The antenna(s) used for this transmitter must not be co-located or operating in
conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
