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

We recommend that you read this chapter carefully before using your
mobile 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 mobile 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
mobile phone when the vehicle is not parked. Check the laws and
regulations on the use of wireless mobile phones and their accessories
in the areas where you drive. Always obey them. The use of these
devices may be prohibited or restricted in certain areas.

When driving, do not use your mobile 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 mobile 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 mobile 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 car’s electronic devices are shielded from mobile phone
RF energy.

• CONDITIONS OF USE:

You are advised to switch off the mobile phone from time to time to
optimize its performance.

Remember to abide by local authority rules of mobile phone use on
aircrafts.

Operational Warnings: Obey all posted signs when using mobile
devices in public areas.

Follow Instructions to Avoid Interference Problems: Turn off your
mobile device in any location where posted notices instruct you to do
so. In an aircraft, turn off your mobile device whenever instructed to
do so by airline staff. If your mobile device offers an airplane mode or
similar feature, consult airline staff about using it in flight.

Switch the mobile phone off when you are in health care facilities,
except in designated areas. As with many other types of equipment
now in regular use, mobile phones can interfere with other electrical
or electronic devices, or equipment using radio frequency.

Switch the mobile phone off when you are near gas or flammable
liquids. Strictly obey all signs and instructions posted in a fuel
depot, gas station, or chemical plant, or in any potentially explosive
atmosphere.

When the mobile phone is switched on, it should be kept at least 15
cm from any medical device such as a pacemaker, a hearing aid or
insulin pump. In particular when using the mobile phone you should
hold it against the ear on the opposite side to the device, if any.

Read and follow the directions from the manufacturer of your
implantable medical device. If you have any questions about using
your mobile device with your implantable medical device, consult your
healthcare provider.

To avoid hearing impairment, answer the call before holding your
mobile phone to your ear. Also move the handset away from your
ear while using the “hands-free” option because the amplified volume
might cause hearing damage.

It is recommended to have proper supervision while small children
use your mobile phone.

When replacing the cover please note that your mobile 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 mobile phone with care and keep it in a clean
and dust-free place.

Do not allow your mobile 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 -10°C (14°F) to +55°C (131°F) (the
max value depends on device, materials and housing paint/texture).

Over 55°C (131°F) the legibility of the mobile phone’s display may be
impaired, though this is temporary and not serious.

Do not open or attempt to repair your mobile phone yourself.
Do not drop, throw, or try to bend your mobile phone.
Do not use the mobile phone if the glass made 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 mobile phone model. TCL Communication Ltd.
and its affiliates disclaim any liability for damage caused by the use of
other chargers or batteries.

Your mobile phone should not be disposed of in a municipal waste.
Please check local regulations for disposal of electronic products.

Remember to make back-up copies or keep a written record of all
important information stored in your mobile 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 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 mobile phone or enabling a flashing-lights
feature on your mobile phone. Parents should monitor their children’s
use of video games or other features that incorporate flashing lights
on the mobile 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:

- Play at the farthest distance possible from the screen. When you
play games on your mobile phone, you may experience occasional
discomfort in your hands, arms, shoulders, neck, or other parts
of your body. Follow these instructions to avoid problems such
as tendinitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, or other musculoskeletal
disorders:

- Take a minimum of a 15-minute break every hour of game playing.

- 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.

PROTECT YOUR HEARING

To prevent possible hearing damage, do not listen at high
volume levels for long periods. Exercise caution when

Please note that you must respect the laws and regulations in force in
your jurisdiction or other jurisdiction(s) where you will use your mobile
phone regarding taking photographs and recording sounds with your
mobile phone. Pursuant to such laws and regulations, it may be strictly
forbidden to take photographs and/or to record the voices of other
people or any of their personal attributes, and reproduce or distribute
them, as this may be considered to be an invasion of privacy.

It is the user’s sole responsibility to ensure that prior authorization
be obtained, if necessary, in order to record private or confidential
conversations or take a photograph of another person; the
manufacturer, the seller or vendor of your mobile phone (including
the operator) disclaim any liability which may result from the improper
use of the mobile phone.
