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 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 when the vehicle is not parked.

When driving, do not use your 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 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 mobile
phone RF energy.

CONDITIONS OF USE:

•

You are advised to switch off the telephone from time to time to
optimize 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, mobile telephones can interfere
with other electrical or electronic devices, or equipment using
radio frequency.
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.
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 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 handset away from your ear
while using the "hands-free" mode because the amplified volume
might cause hearing damage.

2

Do not let children use the phone and/or play with the telephone
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 -10°C to +40°C.
At over 40°C the legibility of the phone’s display may be
impaired, though this is temporary and not serious.
Emergency call numbers may not be reachable on all cellular
networks. You should never rely only on your phone for
emergency calls.
Do not open, dismantle or attempt to repair your mobile phone
yourself.
Do not drop, throw or bend your mobile phone.
Do not use the 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 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 back-up 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 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:

3

- 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.

Radio waves .....................

THIS MOBILE PHONE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT’S
REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.
Your mobile phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is
designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for
exposure to radio-frequency (RF) energy. These limits are part
of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of
RF energy for the general population. The guidelines are based
on standards that were developed by independent scientific
organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation of
scientific studies. These guidelines include a substantial safety
margin designed to ensure the safety of all persons, regardless
of age and health.
The exposure standard for mobile phones employs a unit of
measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR.
The SAR limit set by public authorities such as the Federal
Communications Commission of the US Government (FCC), or
by Industry Canada, is 1.6 W/kg averaged over 1 gram of body
tissue. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating
positions with the mobile phone transmitting at its highest
certified power level in all tested frequency bands.
This device is complied with SAR for general population /
uncontrolled exposure limits in ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1992 and had
been tested in accordance with the measurement methods and
procedures specified in IEEE1528.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model
phone with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance
with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR information on this
model phone is on file with the FCC and can be found under
the Display Grant section of www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid after
searching on FCC ID: 2ACCJN008.
Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power
level, the actual SAR level of the mobile phone while operating
can be well below the maximum value. This is because the
mobile phone is designed to operate at multiple power levels
so as to use only the power required to reach the network. In
general, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna,
the lower the power output of the mobile phone. Before a mobile
phone model is available for sale to the public, compliance with
national regulations and standards must be shown.
The highest SAR value for this model mobile phone when tested
is 1.16 W/Kg for use at the ear and 1.16 W/Kg for use close
to the body.
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of
various phones and at various positions, they all meet the
government requirements.
