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 headphone
to listen to music or to the radio. Using a headphone 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.
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
+45°C (113°F) (the max value depends on device, materials and
housing paint/texture).
Over 45°C (113°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 holding your device near your ear while the
loudspeaker is in use.

• PRIVACY:

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.

back cover but non-removable battery. Observe the following
precautions for battery use:

fumes and burns).

- Do not puncture, disassemble, or cause a short-circuit in the
battery,

- Do not burn or dispose of a used battery in the garbage or
store it at temperatures above 50°C (122°F).

applicable environmental regulations. Only use the battery for
the purpose for which it was designed. Never use damaged
batteries or those not recommended by TCL Communication
Ltd. and/or its affiliates.
