your product to high humidity areas, such as bathroom or swimming pool.
Keep the phone away from heat. Never store your phone in environment that may
snowstorm, or in your car in hot days. Exposure to cold or heat will result in
malfunction, damage or permanent failure. Be careful when using your phone near
other electronic devices. The RF emissions from mobile phones may affect nearby
electronic equipment that not adequately shielded. You should consult manufacturers
of any personal medical devices, as in the case of pacemakers and hearing aides, to
determine whether they are susceptible to interference from cell phones.
Turn off your phone in medical facilities or at gas stations. Never place your phone in
microwaves, as it will cause the battery to explode.
Important! Before using your phone, please read the SAFETY INFORMATION
OF THE TELECOMMUNICATIONS INDUSTRY ASSOCIATION (TIA).

Information about the RF exposure from FCC
WARNING! Read this information before operating the phone.
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 standard
for human exposure to radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC
regulated transmitters. Those guidelines are consistent with the safety standard
previously set by both international and U.S. standards.
The design of this phone complies with FCC guidelines and these international
standards.
6
Guidelines for safe and efficient use
Caution
Use only the supplied antenna. Use of unauthorized antennas, or modifications, could
impair call quality, damage the phone, void your warranty, or result in a violation of FCC
regulations.
Do not use the phone with a damaged antenna.
A damaged antenna in contact with the skin could cause a singe. Contact your local
dealer for an antenna replacement.
Body effects
This device was tested for typical body operation, keeping a distance of 1 cm
(0.39 inch) between the user's body and the phone. To comply with RF exposure
requirements of theFCC standards, a minimum distance of 1 cm (0.39 inch) between
the user's body and the phone is required.
Belt-clips, holsters, and similar accessories containing metallic components may not
be used.
Accessories worn close to the body, without keeping a minimum distance of 1 cm
(0.39 inch) between the user's body and the phone, and that have not been
tested for typical body operation, may not comply with FCC's RF exposure limits and
should be avoided.

This device and its accessories comply with Article 15 of the FCC rules.
The operation is subject to the following conditions
(1) This device, and its accessories, will not cause harmful interference and (2) this
device and its accessories must accept any interference received, including interference
that could cause an undesired operation.

We also recommend you be reasonable with the music and volume level.
•
If you listen to music, please ensure that the volume level is adequate, so that you
are aware of your surroundings. This is particularly important when attempting to
cross a street.

data and settings from the phone.
4. Opening and switching applications
Multitasking is easy with Android; you can keep more than one application running at
the same time. There is no need to quit an application before opening another. Use and
switch between several open applications. Android manages each application, stopping
and starting them as needed to make sure that idle applications don't consume
resources unnecessarily.
