Important Information
This user's manual contains important information on the use and operation of this mobile device. Please read all information
carefully to ensure optimal performance and to prevent any damage to or misuse of the device. Any changes or modifications
not expressly approved in this user's manual could void your warranty for this equipment. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE
INSTRUCTIONS MAY LEAD TO SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY AND PROPERTY DAMAGE.
To reduce the possibility of electric shock, do not expose your device to high humidity areas, such as
the bathroom, swimming pool, etc.
Always store your mobile device away from heat.
Never store your device in settings that may expose it to temperatures less than 32
during a snowstorm or in your car on a hot day. Exposure to excessive cold or heat will result in malfunction, damage, and/or
catastrophic failure.
Be careful when using your mobile device near other electronic devices.
RF emissions from your device may affect any inadequately shielded electronic equipment nearby. You should consult with
the manufacturers of any personal medical devices, such as pacemakers or hearing aids, to determine if they are susceptible
to interference from your mobile device. Turn off your mobile device in medical facilities and at gas stations. Never place your
device in a microwave oven, as this will cause the battery to explode.

IMPORTANT! Please read the TIA SAFETY INFORMATION on page 129 before using your mobile device.
Safety Information
Please read and observe the following information for the safe and proper use of your device and to prevent any accidental
damage. Also, keep this user’s manual in an accessible place after reading it.
•
Unplug the power cord and charger during a lightning storm to avoid electric shock or fire.
•
Do not use your device in high explosive areas, as the device may generate sparks.
•
Do not put your device in a place subject to excessive dust, and maintain the minimum required distance between the power
cord and heat sources.
•
Unplug the power cord prior to cleaning your device, and clean the power plug pin when it is dirty.
•
Do not damage the power cord by bending, twisting, pulling, or heating. Do not use the plug if it is loose, as it may cause fire or
electric shock.
•
Hold the power cord plug firmly to plug and unplug the power cord. Ensure the plug is firmly connected. If it is not firmly
connected, it may cause excessive heat or fire.
•
Do not place heavy items on the power cord. Do not allow the power cord to be crimped, as it may cause fire or electric shock.
•
Be careful not to let the battery contact metal conductors, such as a necklace or coins. When shorted, it may cause an
explosion.
•
Do not disassemble or deliver any impact to the battery, as it may cause electric shock, short-circuit, and fire. Store the battery
in a place out of reach of children.
•
Using a damaged battery or placing a battery in your mouth may cause serious injury.
7
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
•
Do not place items containing magnetic components, such as a credit cards, phone cards, bank books, or subway tickets, near
your mobile device. The magnetism of the device may damage the data stored in a magnetic strip.
•
Do not hold the antenna or let it come into contact with your body during a call.
•
Talking on your mobile device for a long period of time may reduce the call quality due to heat generated during use.
•
Do not allow excessive vibration or impact to the device.
•
When you do not use the device for a long period time, store it in a safe area with the power cord unplugged.
8
Precautions When Using Batteries
•
Never use any charger or battery that is damaged in any way.
•
Use the battery only for its intended purpose.
•
If you use the device near a network base station, it uses less power; talk and standby times are greatly affected by the
network signal strength and the parameters set by the network operator.
•
Battery charging times depend 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, it's time to buy a new battery.
•
If left unused, a fully charged battery will discharge itself over time.
•
Use only approved batteries, and recharge your battery only with approved chargers. When a charger is not in use, disconnect
it from the power source. Do not leave the battery connected to a charger for more than a week, as overcharging may shorten
its life.
•
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, as you will reduce the capacity and life of the
battery. Always try to keep the battery at room temperature. A device with a hot or cold battery may be temporarily inoperational,
even when the battery is fully charged. Li-ion batteries are particularly affected by temperatures below 0˚C (32˚F).
•
Accidental short circuiting can occur when a metallic object, such as a coin, clip, or pen, causes a direct connection between
the + and – terminals of the battery (the metal strips on the back of the battery)—for example, when you carry a spare battery
9
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
in a pocket or bag. Shorting the terminals may damage the battery or the object causing the short.
•
Dispose of used batteries in accordance with local regulations. Always recycle. Do not dispose of batteries in a fire.
Cautions for Charger and Battery
Charger cautions:
•
Using the wrong Charger could damage your mobile device and void your warranty.
•
The Charger is intended for indoor use only.
•
Do not expose the Charger to direct sunlight or use it in places with high humidity, such as the bathroom.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS—SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
DANGER—TO REDUCE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY

CAUTION
RISK OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS REPLACED BY AN INCORRECT TYPE. DISPOSE OF USED BATTERIES
ACCORDING TO THE INSTRUCTIONS.
10

BEFORE USE
How to Maximize Battery Life
► Entering characters, storing files, gaming, using the Internet, and playing video and music files will greatly reduce battery
life.
► In idle mode, using images and/or animations will decrease battery life by 20–30%.
► Enabling button or flip sound effects, or frequent opening and closing of the flip will reduce battery life considerably.
► Use of Slot Mode will reduce battery life.
What is Slot Mode? Within a wireless network, a mobile device will periodically communicate with the network. Frequent
✻
communication will occur, resulting in reduced battery life in Slot Mode. Once communication with the wireless network is
established, the frequency of communication will be about 2.5–5 times higher.
► When the device is not in a service area, its battery life will decrease as it will constantly check for a signal.
► Weak signals or overlapping channels in an area will waste battery life, as the mobile service will continue to configure and
connect.
► Answering and ending calls often will result in faster expenditure of battery life.
► Lengthy calls will consume battery life.
► Continual use of the battery will slowly reduce its lifespan over time.
► After the battery charge is used up, the battery icon will indicate the discharged state. The device will emit a warning sound
and then shut off. The battery must be charged to turn the device on again.
24
USB Cable Use Precautions
► Use only the included USB cable for charging.
►
When connected to a notebook or desktop computer, charging may not perform normally or may take a long time due to
concurrent use of other USB devices or degradation of computer performance.
►
Use the included USB cable only with VK Mobile devices.
