or explosion. Therefore switch off your device at refueling stations,
fuel depots, chemical plants or places where blasting operation is
in progress. Remember to comply with legal requirements and
local restrictions when using the phone.
Your Phone’s radio waves may interfere with inadequately
shielded medical devices. Consult a physician or manufacturer of
the medical device to know whether they are adequately shielded
from external Radio Frequency. Switch off your device when
regulations require you to do so.
Always keep the phone and accessories out of reach of small
children. Small parts such as the SIM card or micro SD card can be
dismantled and swallowed by small children.
Do not place the phone near electromagnetic data carriers such
as credit/Debit cards. Information stored on them could be lost.
Permanent damage to hearing may occur if you use earphones at
high volume for prolonged periods. Set your volume to a safe
level. If you experience discomfort in your ears, reduce the volume
or discontinue the use of your earphones.
Manufacturers of medical devices recommend a minimum
distance of 15.3 cm (6 inches) between a wireless device and an
implanted medical device such as pacemaker or cardioverter
defibrillator to avoid issues arising out of radio frequency
interference.
The mains voltage (V) specified on the power supply unit must not
be exceeded to prevent damage to the charging device. The
power supply must be plugged into an easily accessible AC power
37
socket when charging the battery.
You may only open the phone to replace the battery (if not inbuilt),
SIM card and micro SD card. You must not open the battery under
any circumstances. All other changes to this device are strictly
prohibited and will invalidate the warranty.
The phone may cause interference in the vicinity of TV sets, radios

battery may cause damage, injury or burns if a conductive
material closes the circuit of the terminals. Exercise care in
handling any charged battery, particularly when placing it inside
your pocket, purse or other container with metal objects. Do not
dispose of batteries in fire as they may explode.
Do not use the phone while driving. When you have to use the
phone, please use the earpiece.
Please put the phone safely in the phone stand. Do not put it onto
any passenger seat or any place from which it may fall down

illegal to use a phone on the airplane. Please turn off your phone
during a flight.
The phone must be repaired by Micromax authorized personnel
only. Repairing this phone by yourself other than our authorized
