User Guide
Note: Due to possible updates with the phone software, this
printed guide may not include the most current instructions for
your phone.
For further information on Telecom Mobile services, please visit

1. Safety Guidelines
Safety
Maintaining Your Phone’s Peak Performance
To maximise performance, do not touch the bottom portion
of your phone, where the internal antenna is located, while
using the phone.
Avoid exposing your phone and accessories to rain or liquid
spills. If your phone does get wet, immediately turn the
power off and remove the battery.
Do not expose your phone to direct sunlight for extended
periods of time (such as on the dashboard of a car).
Using Your Phone While Driving
Talking on your phone while driving (or operating the phone
without a hands-free device) is prohibited in some jurisdictions.
Laws vary as to specific restrictions.
Let the person you are speaking to know you are driving; if
necessary, suspend the call in heavy traffic or hazardous
weather conditions.
Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while driving.
Following Safety Guidelines
To operate your phone safely and efficiently, always follow any
special regulations in a given area. Turn your phone off in areas
where use is forbidden or when it may cause interference or
danger.
Using Your Phone Near Other Electronic Devices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from
radiofrequency (RF) signals. However, RF signals from mobile
phones may affect inadequately shielded electronic equipment.
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately
shielded electronic operating systems and/or entertainment
systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or their
representative to determine if these systems are adequately
shielded from external RF signals. Also check with the
2 1. Safety Guidelines
manufacturer regarding any equipment that has been added to
your vehicle.
Consult the manufacturer of any personal medical devices, such
as pacemakers and hearing aids, to determine if they are
adequately shielded from external RF signals.
Note: Always turn off the phone in health care facilities and request
permission before using the phone near medical equipment.
Turning Off Your Phone Before Flying
Turn off your phone before boarding any aircraft. To prevent
possible interference with aircraft systems, ask permission from
a crew member to use your phone while the plane is on the
ground.
Turning Off Your Phone in Dangerous Areas
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your phone
off when in a blasting area or in other areas with signs indicating
two-way radios should be turned off. Construction crews often
use remote-control RF devices to set off explosives.
Turn your phone off when you are in any area that has a
potentially explosive atmosphere. Although it is rare, your
phone and accessories could generate sparks. Sparks can cause
an explosion or fire, resulting in bodily injury or even death.
These areas are often, but not always, clearly marked. They
include:
Fuelling areas such as petrol stations.
Below deck on boats.
Fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities.
Areas where the air contains chemicals or particles such as
grain, dust, or metal powders.
Any other area where you would normally be advised to turn
off your vehicle’s engine.
Note: Never transport or store flammable gas, liquid or explosives in the
compartment of your vehicle that contains your phone or accessories.
1. Safety Guidelines 3
Restricting Children’s Access to Your Phone
Your phone is not a toy. Do not allow children to play with it as
they could hurt themselves and others, damage the phone, or
make calls that increase your telephone bill.
Protecting Your Battery
The guidelines listed below help you get the most out of your
battery’s performance.
Use only approved batteries, AC adapters, and chargers.
These chargers are designed to maximise battery life. Using
other batteries or chargers voids your warranty and may cause
damage.
In order to avoid damage, charge the battery only in
temperatures that range from 0º C to 45º C.
Do not use the battery charger in direct sunlight or in high
humidity areas, such as the bathroom.
Never dispose of the battery by incineration.
Keep the metal contacts on top of the battery clean.
Do not attempt to disassemble or short-circuit the battery.
Do not store the battery in high temperature areas for long
periods of time. It is best to follow these storage rules:
Less than one month:
-20º C to 60º C
More than one month:
-20º C to 45º C
Disposal of Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) Batteries
For safe disposal options of your Li-Ion batteries, please ensure
that disposal of this is in accordance with the law and regulation.
Do not dispose of the battery in fire; the cell may explode.
Do not open or puncture the battery; the released electrolyte
is corrosive and may cause damage to the eyes and skin.
Special Note: Be sure to dispose of your battery properly. In some
areas, the disposal of batteries in household or business trash
may be prohibited.
Note: For safety, do not handle a damaged or leaking Li-Ion battery.
4 1. Safety Guidelines
Cautions
Any changes or modifications to your phone not expressly
approved in this document could void your warranty for this
equipment and void your authority to operate this equipment.
Only use approved batteries and chargers. The use of any
unauthorised accessories may be dangerous and void the phone
warranty if the said accessories cause damage or a defect to the
phone.
Although your phone is quite sturdy, it is a complex piece of
equipment and can be broken. Avoid dropping, hitting, bending
or sitting on it.
