When carrying the product or using it
while worn on your body, either use an
approved accessory such as a holster or
otherwise maintain a distance of 10 mm
from the body to ensure compliance with
RF exposure requirements. Note that the

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, chemical plant, or in any potentially explosive
atmosphere.

When the mobile phone is switched on, it should be kept at least
10 cm from any medical device such as a pacemaker, a heari ng
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.

Please note the battery of your phone is 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 the 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 on 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 for 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
