We recommend that you read this chapter carefully before use.
CONDITIONS OF USE:
Switch the phone off before boarding an aircraft. Use could lead to legal action against
the user. Switch the phone off when in health care facilities except in areas specified.
Like many other types of equipment now in regular use, mobile telephones can
interfere with other electrical or electronic devices in their proximity. Persons with a
medical device (such as a pacemaker, hearing aid, insulin pump) should not carry the
phone in a place close to the device. When placing or receiving a call, persons with a
pacemaker or hearing aid should use the ear on the opposite side to the device.
Switch your phone off when near gas or flammable liquids. Strictly obey all signs and
instructions when in a fuel depot or chemical plant, at a refuelling point (service station)
or in any potentially explosive atmosphere. Do not let small children use the phone
without supervision. Do not attempt to open or repair it yourself. Use only the batteries,
battery chargers and accessories approved by the manufacturer. The manufacturer
disclaims any liability for damage caused by use of other batteries, chargers or
accessories. Switch your phone off before removing the battery. Do not expose the
phone to unfavorable environmental conditions (humidity, rain, ingress of liquid, dust,
sea air, etc.). Outside the manufacturer’s recommended operating temperature range
(-20° C to +55° C), the legibility of the phone’s display may be impaired, though this is
temporary.
ENVIRONMENT:
Do not attempt to open the battery because it contains chemical substances. Do not
dispose of used batteries in household waste. Batteries must be disposed of in
accordance with locally applicable environmental legislation.
TRAFFIC SAFETY:
Remember to always check whether local legislation allows operation of a mobile
phone while driving a vehicle. It is vital to connect the phone to an external antenna
when it is used in a vehicle. Electromagnetic waves may otherwise interfere with the
vehicle electronics. Check that the antenna is mounted and located away from the
driver and passengers or separated from them by a metal screen (e.g. car roof). We
recommend that you park your car before using the phone. However if you intend to
use your phone while driving, you must use it connected to the Alcatel Car Kit
accessory. Check with your car dealer or car manufacturer that the car’s electronic
systems (anti-lock brakes (ABS), airbag) are adequately shielded from mobile phone RF
energy. Always avoid placing the phone on the dashboard.

GENERAL INFORMATION:
As with all radio transceivers, your mobile phone emits electromagnetic waves.
This phone conforms to international regulations insofar as when used under
normal conditions and in accordance with the instructions contained herein.
There has been speculation about the safety of mobile phones. Several expert
groups belonging to or having been appointed by official national or international
bodies have analyzed all the existing publications and, to this date, have
concluded that there is a lack of evidence as to any credible or convincing
hazardous effects of mobile phones on health. These studies have, in particular,
focused on the fact that mobile handsets receive and emit electromagnetic waves
via their antennae. Experts from such organizations as the European Commission
and the International Commission on Non-Ionising Radiation Protection (ICNIRP)
have established thresholds on a handset’s emissions to the human body. The
main measurement standard is known as SAR (Specific Absorption Rate).
ALCATEL can formally state that all its GSM mobile phones generate a SAR that
is significantly below these thresholds.
Furthermore, ALCATEL actively supports national and international research into
this issue carried out by authoritative and independent organizations. If you still
have concerns on this issue, you may use your mobile phone with a headset, or
using the handsfree feature integrated in the phone and, while driving, with the
car kit. The part numbers of these accessories can be found in Chapter 15 on page
60.
The manufacturer disclaims any liability for damage which may result as a
consequence of improper use or use contrary to the instructions contained
herein.
