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 al l signs and instr uctions pos ted 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 fol low the di rections from the ma nufacturer 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 +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.

Battery: Lithium 1300/1400 mAh

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.
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

0.59 W/Kg for use at the ear and 0.90 W/Kg for use close to the body.
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various
mobile phones and at various positions, they all meet the government
requirement for RF exposure. For body-worn operation, the mobile
phone meets FCC RF exposure guidelines provided that it is used with
a non-metallic accessory with the handset at least 10 mm from the
body. Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC
RF exposure guidelines.
Additiona l informat ion on SAR ca n be found on th e Cellular
Telecommunicati ons & Internet Associat ion (C TIA) Web site:
http://www.phonefacts.net
The World Health Organization (WHO) considers that present scientific
information does not indicate the need for any special precautions
for use of mobile phones. If individuals are concerned, they might
choose to limit their own or their children’s RF exposure by limiting
the length of calls, or using “hands-free” devices to keep mobile
phones away from the head and body. (fact sheet n°193). Additional
WHO information about electromagnetic fields and public health are
available on the following website: http://www.who.int/peh-emf.
Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the
limits for a Class B digital device pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules.

These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment
generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference to radio or television reception, which
can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the
following measures:

- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that
to which the receiver is connected.

- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/ TV technician for help.

Changes or modifi cations not ex pressly a pproved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate
the equipment.
For the receiver devices associated with the operation of a licensed
radio service (e.g. FM broadcast), they bear the following statement:
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject
to the condition that this device does not cause harmful interference.
For other devices, they bear the following statement:
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject
to the following two conditions:
(1) this device may not cause harmful interference
(2) t his devi ce must accept any interference recei ved, includ ing

interference that may cause undesired operation.
Your mobile phone is equipped with a built-in antenna. For optimal
operation, you should avoid touching it or degrading it.
As mobile devices offer a range of functions, they can be used in
positions other than against your ear. In such circumstances the device
will be compliant with the guidelines when used with headset or usb
data cable. If you are using another accessory ensure that whatever
product is used is free of any metal and that it positions the mobile
phone at least 10 mm away from the body.
