10 Warnings and Precautions
Operating Environment
z The phone, battery, and charger are not water-resistant. Keep them
dry. Protect the phone, battery and charge from water or vapor. Do not touch the phone with a wet hand. Otherwise, short-circuit and malfunction of the product or electric shock may occur.
z Do not use the phone in dusty, damp and dirty places or places with
magnetic field. Otherwise, malfunction of the circuit may occur.
z Do not turn on or off the phone when it is near your ears to avoid
negative impact on your health.
z When carrying or using the phone, keep the antenna at least one
inch (2.5 centimeters) away from your body, to avoid negative impact on your health caused by radio frequency leakage.
z If you feel uncomfortable (such as falling sick or qualm) after playing
games with your phone for a long time, please go to see a doctor immediately.
z When you use the phone in the hands-free mode, do not put it too
close to your ears. Otherwise, your hearing may be hurt by the loud volume.
z Do not use an optical amplifier to check the infrared interface, if any,
on your phone.
z If your phone can take pictures, do not put the flash lamp near your
eyes or any other’s eyes.
z If there is a touch-pen, use it gently to avoid scratch on your phone
or screen.
z On a thunder stormy day, do not use your phone o utdoors o r w hen it
is being charged.
z Do not touch the antenna when a call is going on. Touching the
antenna may affect call quality and cause the phone to operate with more power. As a result, the talk time and standby time are shortened.
z The phone may interfere with nearby TV sets, radios and PCs. z In accordance with international standards for radio frequency and
radiation, use phone accessories approved by Huawei only.
24
Cleaning and Maintenance
z Before you clean or maintain the phone, turn off the phone and
disconnect it from the charger. Otherwise, electric shock or short-circuit of the battery or charger may occur.
z Do not use any chemical detergent, powder, or other chemical
agent (such as alcohol and benzene) to clean the phone and the charge. Otherwise, part damage or a fire can be caused. You can clean the phone and the charger with a piece of soft antistatic cloth that is a little wet.
z Do not scratch the shell of the phone. Otherwise, the shed coating
may cause skin allergy. Once it happens, stop using the phone at once and go to see a doctor.
z Keep the plug dry when you clean it, to prevent fire. z If the phone or any of its fittings does not work, turn to the local
authorized service center for help.
Environmental Protection
Please observe the local regulations regarding the disposal of your packaging materials, exhausted battery and old phone and please promote their recycling. Do not dispose of exhausted battery or old phone in a dustbin or fire. Otherwise, explosion may occur.
Emergency Call
You can use your phone for emergency calls. However, connections in all conditions cannot be guaranteed. You should never rely solely on the phone for essential communications.
Battery
z Use the battery approved by the manufacturer only. Otherwise,
explosion may occur.
z Do not dispose of the battery in fire. Otherwise, the battery may
ignite or explode.
z Do not connect two poles of the battery with conductors such as
cables, jewelries or any other metal material. Otherwise, the battery is short-circuited and it may burn your body.
z Do not disassemble the battery or solder the battery poles.
Otherwise fluid leakage, overheat, fire, or explosion may occur.
z If there is battery leakage, smoke, or strange smell, stop using the
battery and keep it away from open flame to avoid fire or explosion. Then turn to an authorized maintenance engineer for help.
25
z If the battery fluid contacts your skin or cloth, wash with clean water
immediately to avoid irritation to the skin.
z If the battery fluid gets into eyes, do not rub your eyes. Otherwise,
your eyes can be hurt. Wash with clean water and seek medical assistance immediately.
z If there is battery deformation, color change or abnormal heating
while you charge or store the battery, take it out immediately and stop using it. Otherwise, battery leakage, overheat, explosion, or fire may occur.
z When installing the battery on your phone, do not push the battery
by force lest battery fluid leak out or the battery crack.
z Do not take out the battery when the phone is turned on. z If you do not use the battery for a long time, store it in normal
temperature after charging.
Charger
z Use the charger approved by the phone manufacture only. Any
violation of this rule may result in fire or malfunction of the charger.
z Do not short-circuit the charger. Short-circuiting the charger may
cause fire or malfunction of the charger.
z If the power cord is damaged (for example, the lead is exposed or
broken), or the plug becomes loose, stop using the cable at one. Otherwise, electric shock, short-circuit of the charger, or fire may occur.
z Keep the charger away from water (or other liquid) or containers
containing water (or other liquid). Once water or other liquid leaks into the charger, electrical leakage or other faults may occur.
z Do not use the charger in a dusty and damp environment. Keep the
power cord away from any heating appliance.
z Ensure the plug of the charger is properly inserted into the power
socket when charging the battery. Improper insertion may result in electric shock, fire, or explosion. To unplug the charger, pull the plug off rather than tear the power cord.
z Use the AC power supply defined in the specifications of the
charger. An improper power voltage can cause file or malfunction of the charger.
z Do not place any heavy object on the power cord of the charger. Do
not damage, change, or pluck the power cord. Otherwise electric shock or file may occur.
26
z When you are charging the battery with the charger, do not touch
the plug, power cord or the charger with a wet hand. Otherwise, electric shock can be caused.
z Once the liquid such as water leaks into the charger, remove the
plug of the charger from the socket immediately. Otherwise, overheating, fire and other malfunction may occur.
Certification Information (SAR)
Certification Information (SAR) THIS DEVICE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT'S REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO FREQUENCY ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD.
Your mobile phone is a low-power radio transmitter and receiver. When it is powered on, it emits low levels of radio frequency energy (also known as radio waves or radio frequency fields). Governments around the world have adopted comprehensive international safety guidelines, developed by scientific organizations, e.g. ICNIRP (International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection) and IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.), through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. These guidelines establish permitted levels of radio wave exposure for the general population. The levels include a safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health, and to account for any variations in measurements.
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) is the unit of measurement for the amount of radio frequency energy absorbed by the body when using a mobile phone. The SAR value is determined at the highest certified power level in laboratory conditions, but the actual SAR level of the mobile phone while operating can be well below the value. This is because the mobile phone is designed to use the minimum power required to reach the network. All models of Huawei’s mobile phone are designed to meet radio frequency exposure guidelines. Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the limit established by the government-adopted requirement for safe exposure. The tests are performed in positions and locations (that is, at the ear and worn on the body) as required by the FCC for each model. For body worn operation, this phone has been tested and meets FCC RF
27
exposure guidelines when the handset is positioned a minimum of 15 mm from the body with an accessory that contains no metal part. Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines. The SAR limit adopted by the USA and Canada is 1.6 watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue. The highest SAR value reported to the FCC and IC for this device type when tested for use at the ea
r is 1.05W/kg, and when properly worn on the body is 0.46W/kg.
