GUIDELINEs FOR sAFE AND EFFICIENT UsE
Please read this information before using your mobile phone. Not following these guidelines
may be dangerous or illegal. Your phone is a highly sophisticated electronic device. We kindly
invite you to read this user manual before you use your phone, charger or any accessory.
The TAG Heuer LINK is approved for use on GSM 900, DCS 1800, GSM 850, PCS 1900 and
W-CDMA 850, 1900 and 2100 (i.e. bands I, II and V) networks. Contact your service provider
for more information about networks.
Precautions when using batteries
• Do not use any charger or battery that is damaged in any way.
• No indication of charging : when you start charging a battery that is empty or a battery
that has not been used for a long time, it may take up to 30 minutes before the battery icon
appears in the display.
• If you use the phone near the network’s base station, it uses less power; talk and standby
times are greatly affected by the signal strength on the cellular network and the parameters
set by the network operator.
• Battery charging time depends on the remaining battery charge and the type of battery
and charger used. The battery can be charged and discharged hundreds of times, but it will
gradually wear out. When the operation time (talk time and standby time) is noticeably shorter
than normal, it is time to replace the battery by calling the appropriate service center.
• If left unused, a fully charged battery will discharge itself over time. When charging after
complete discharge, the phone will not display anything for about 30 minutes.
• Use only the approved chargers for the TAG Heuer LINK. When a charger is not in use,
disconnect it from the power source. Do not leave the battery connected to a charger for
more than a week, since overcharging may shorten the battery life.
• Extreme temperatures will affect the charging capacity of your battery. ( 40° C = 140° F )
11
English
• To avoid a reduction in battery capacity; do not leave the battery in hot or cold places, such as in a
car in summer or winter conditions. Li-ion batteries are particularly affected by temperatures below
0°C ( 32°F ).
• If you have any problem with your battery, we kindly invite you to contact the authorized service center.
• Dispose of batteries according to local regulations. Always recycle. Do not dispose of batteries in
a fi re.
Product care
Your phone is a product of superior design and craftsmanship and should be treated with care.
The suggestions below will help you fulfi l the warranty obligations and enjoy this product for many
years.
• Keep your phone and all its parts out of young children’s reach.
• Keep your phone dry.
• Avoid exposing your phone to extreme hot or cold temperatures.
• Avoid placing your phone close to lit cigarettes, naked fl ames or any heat source.
• Do not attempt to disassemble. Non-expert handling of the device may cause damage.
• Do not drop or knock. Rough handling may cause damage to internal electronic components.
• Do not paint your phone as the paint could obstruct the earphone, microphone or any moveable
parts and prevent normal use.
• Treat your phone with care, keep it in a clean and dust free place.
• If the phone or any of its accessories are not working properly, take them to your nearest qualifi ed
service centre. The personnel there will assist you, and if necessary, arrange for the phone to be
repaired.

Radio frequency energy
Your phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured, so as not to exceed the
limits for exposure to radio-frequency ( RF ) energy, as recommended by the International standards.
These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the
general population. The guidelines were developed by independent scientifi c organizations through
periodic and thorough evaluation of scientifi c studies. The limits include a substantial safety margin
designed to ensure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The exposure standard for phones employs a unit of measurement known as SAR ( Specifi c
Absorption Rate ). Your SAR level phone has been designed and controlled to be compliant with the
recommended standards.
This phone has been designed to comply with applicable safety requirements for exposure to radio
waves. These requirements are based on scientifi c guidelines that include safety margins designed
to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
• The radio wave exposure guidelines employ a unit of measurement known as the Specifi c
Absorption Rate, or SAR. Tests for SAR are conducted using standardised methods with the phone
transmitting at its highest certifi ed power level in all used frequency bands.
• While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various TAG Heuer LINK mobile phones,
they are all designed to meet the relevant guidelines for exposure to radio waves.
• The SAR limit recommended by the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection
( ICNIRP ) is 2W/kg averaged over 10 g of tissue.
• The highest SAR value for this model phone tested according to the EN 62209-1, prior use at the ear
is 0.860 W/kg ( 10g ) and when worn on the body is 0.687W/Kg ( 10 g ). The phone has been shown
to be capable of compliance with the SAR limits specifi ed in European Council Recommendation
1999 519 EC.
English
Electronic devices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF energy. However, certain electronic equipment
may not be shielded against the RF signals from your wireless phone, therefore :
• Do not use your phone near medical equipment without requesting permission.
Potentially explosive atmospheres
Switch off your phone when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere and obey all signs
and instructions. It is rare, but your phone or its accessories could generate sparks. Sparks in such
areas could cause an explosion or fi re resulting in bodily injury or even death. Areas with a potentially
explosive atmosphere are often, but not always, clearly marked. They include fuelling areas, such as
petrol station, below deck on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities, and areas where
the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders; and any other area
where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine.
Respect Special Regulations
Please follow special regulations in any areas wherever it is applicable. It is recommended to switch off
your phone whenever it is illegal to use, or when it may cause interferences, such as in hospitals.
Pacemaker
Phones may affect the operation of some implanted cardiac pacemakers and other medically
implanted equipment. Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum separation of 20 cm
(6 inches) be maintained between a hand-held wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential
interference with the pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with the independent
14
15
English
research by and recommendations of Wireless Technology Research.
Persons with pacemakers:
• Should always keep the phone more than 20 cm ( 6 inches ) from their pacemaker when the phone
is switched on.
• Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket.
• Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for interference.
• If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, switch off your phone
immediately.
Driving
Check the laws and regulations on the use of phones in the areas where you drive. If you are going
to use your phone while driving, please :
• Give full attention to driving
• Use hands free. The law in many countries requires that the use of phones in vehicles while driving
should be hands free with the mobile phone fi xed in a secure mount.
• Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving conditions so require.
RF energy may affect some electronic systems in motor vehicles such as car stereo, safety equipment
etc. in addition ; some vehicle manufacturers do not allow use of phones, unless the installation is
supported by a hands free kit with an external antenna in their vehicles. Check with your vehicle
manufacturer’s representative to be sure that your phone will not affect the electronic systems in
your vehicle.
Hearing aids
Some hearing aids might be disturbed by phones. In the event of such disturbance, you may want
to consult your service provider, or call the customer services line to discuss alternatives.
English
Aircraft
• Turn off or activate fl ight mode of your mobile phone before boarding any aircraft.
• Do not use it on the ground without crew permission
To prevent interference with communication systems, you must not use your phone while the plane
is in the air.
Use properly your phone
Use only in the normal position ( hold to the ear ). Avoid unnecessary contact with the antenna when
the phone is switched on.
Emergency calls
When you want to make an emergency call, please ensure that the phone is switched on and is in
service. On the Dialer tab, enter the international emergency number for your local country ( for
example, 000 ), and then press
until given permission to do so. Press
on your phone. Inform your current location. Do not end the call
to end call.
