Safety and use .........................

We recommend that you read this chapter carefully before using
your phone. The manufacturer disclaims any liability for damage,
which may result as a consequence of improper use or use
contrary to the instructions contained herein.

• TRAFFIC SAFETY

Given that studies show that using a phone while driving a vehicle
constitutes a real risk, even when the hands-free kit is used (car
kit, headset...), drivers are requested to refrain from using their
phone when the vehicle is not parked.
When driving, do not use your phone and headset to listen to
music or to the radio. Using a headset can be dangerous and
forbidden in some areas.
When switched on, your phone emits electromagnetic waves that
can interfere with the vehicle’s electronic systems such as ABS
anti-lock brakes or airbags. To ensure that there is no problem:

- Do not place your phone on top of the dashboard or within an
airbag deployment area;

- Check with your car dealer or the car manufacturer to make
sure that the dashboard is adequately shielded from phone
RF energy.

• CONDITIONS OF USE

You are advised to switch off the phone from time to time to
optimise its performance.
Switch the phone off before boarding an aircraft.
Switch the phone off when you are in health care facilities, except
in designated areas. As with many other types of equipment
now in regular use, phones can interfere with other electrical or
electronic devices, or equipment using radio frequencies.
Please consult your doctor and the device manufacturer to
determine if operation of your phone may interfere with the
operation of your medical device.
Switch the phone off when you are near gas or flammable liquids.
Strictly obey all signs and instructions posted in a fuel depot,
petrol station, or chemical plant, or in any potentially explosive
atmosphere.
Turn off your mobile phone or wireless device when in a blasting
area or in areas posted with notifications requesting "two-way
radios" or "electronic devices" are turned off to avoid interfering
with blasting operations.
When the phone is switched on, it should be kept at least 15
cm from any medical device such as a pacemaker, a hearing
aid, or an insulin pump, etc.. In particular when using the phone,
you should hold it against the ear on the opposite side to the
device, if any.
To avoid hearing impairment, pick up the call before holding your
phone to your ear. Also move the phone away from your ear while
using the "hands-free" mode because the amplified volume might
cause hearing damage.
Do not let children use the phone and/or play with the phone and
accessories without supervision.
If your phone has a removable cover, note that your phone may
contain substances that could create an allergic reaction.

If your phone is a unibody device, the back cover and battery
are not removable. If you disassemble your phone the warranty
will not apply. Disassembling the phone may damage the battery,
and may cause leakage of substances that could create an
allergic reaction.
Always handle your phone with care and keep it in a clean and
dust-free place.
Do not allow your phone to be exposed to adverse weather or
environmental conditions (moisture, humidity, rain, infiltration of
liquids, dust, sea air, etc.). The manufacturer’s recommended
operating temperature range is 0°C (32°F) to 40°C (104°F).
At over 40°C (104°F) the legibility of the phone’s display may be
impaired, though this is temporary and not serious.
Do not open, dismantle, or attempt to repair your phone yourself.
Do not drop, throw, or bend your phone.
Do not use the phone if the glass screen is damaged, cracked, or
broken to avoid any injury.
Do not paint it.
Use only batteries, battery chargers, and accessories which are
recommended by TCL Communication Ltd. and its affiliates and
are compatible with your phone model. TCL Communication Ltd.
and its affiliates disclaim any liability for damage caused by the
use of other chargers or batteries.
Remember to make backup copies or keep a written record of all
important information stored on your phone.
Some people may suffer epileptic seizures or blackouts when
exposed to flashing lights, or when playing video games. These
seizures or blackouts may occur even if a person has never had
a previous seizure or blackout. If you have experienced seizures
or blackouts, or if you have a family history of such occurrences,
please consult your doctor before playing video games on your
phone or enabling a flashing-lights feature on your phone.
Parents should monitor their children’s use of video games or
other features that incorporate flashing lights on the phones. All
persons should discontinue use and consult a doctor if any of the
following symptoms occur: convulsion, eye or muscle twitching,
loss of awareness, involuntary movements, or disorientation.
To limit the likelihood of such symptoms, please take the following
safety precautions:

- Do not play or use a flashing-lights feature if you are tired or
need sleep;

- Take a minimum of a 15-minute break hourly;

- Play in a room in which all lights are on;

- Play at the farthest distance possible from the screen;

- If your hands, wrists, or arms become tired or sore while playing,
stop and rest for several hours before playing again;

- If you continue to have sore hands, wrists, or arms during or
after playing, stop the game and see a doctor.

When you play games on your phone, you may experience
occasional discomfort in your hands, arms, shoulders, neck,
or other parts of your body. Follow the instructions to avoid
problems such as tendinitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, or other
musculoskeletal disorders.
