Safety Precautions
Switch off your device in any area with potential explosive
atmosphere. Sparks arising out of radio frequency may cause fire
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.
34
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 cardiverter
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
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 disassemble 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
and PCs.
The 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 during collision or emergency
braking.
Flight is influenced by interference caused by the phone. It is not
advised to switch on a phone during flight.
Please repair the device at Micromax authorized service center
only. Repairing the device by yourself invalidates the warranty
rules.
35
Taking Care of your device
Your device is a product of superior design and craftsmanship and should be handled
with care. The following suggestions will help you protect your phone.
Keep the device dry. Precipitation, humidity, and all types of liquids or
moisture can rust the electronic circuits. If your device gets wet, remove
the battery, wipe it with a dry cloth and take it to an authorized service
center.
Do not store the device in high or cold temperature. Extreme temperatures
can shorten the life of electronic devices and damage batteries.
Do not use or store the device in dusty, dirty areas. Its moving parts and
electronic components can get damaged.
Do not attempt to open the device other than as instructed in this guide.
Do not drop, knock, or shake the device. Rough handling can break internal
circuit boards and fine mechanics.
Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to
clean the device. Only use a soft, clean, dry cloth to clean the surface of the
device.
Do not store your device near magnetic fields or allow your device to come
in contact with magnetic fields for extended period of time.
Battery Recommendations
Please put the battery in a cool and well-ventilated place out of direct
sunlight. We recommend you to charge the battery at room temperature
range.
Batteries have life cycles. After a full charge, if the power reserve of the
battery tend to deplete inordinately faster than usual, the battery life is at
an end. Replace the battery with a new battery of the same make and
specification.
