Follow local regulations regarding the use of mobile phones. Switch off the device and remove the battery from time to time for optimum performance. Keep your device away from magnets or magnetic fields. The cable of the charger cannot be replaced. If this cable is destroyed, the adaptor should be destroyed. Do not expose the phone to rain or splashing. Do not place any objects filled with liquids, such as vases, on the device. Ex ces sive so und pre ss ure f rom ear ph one s and headphone can cause hearing loss. The mains plug of the device should be easily accessed during use.

Pacemakers and Other Medical Devices
Studies have shown that there may be a potential interaction between mobile phones and normal pacemaker operation. The pacemaker industry recommends that people with pacemakers follow these guidelines to min imize any ri sk of in terf ere nce wi th pac emak er operation:
-
-
-
-
Always maintain a distance of 15 cm (6 inches) between the pacemaker and any mobile phone that is turned on.
Store the phone on the opposite side of the pacemaker. Do not carry the phone in a breast pocket.
Use the ear furthest from the pacemaker in order to minimize any potential for interference.
If you think that interference may be occurring, turn off the phone immediately.
For other medical devices, consult with your physician or the manufacturer to determine if your mobile phone may interfere with the device, and to determine any precautions that you can take to avoid interference.
-
Emergency Calls Important: This device operates using radio signals,
w ir e l e ss n e tw o r k s, l and l i n e n e two r k s , a n d u s er­programmed functions. If your device supports voice calls over the Internet (Internet calls), activate both the Internet calls and the cellular phone. The device may attempt to make emergency calls over both the cellular networks and through your Internet call provider if both are activated. Connections in all conditions cannot be guaranteed.
- 4-
You should never rely solely on any wireless device for essential communications like medical emergencies
When making an emergency call, give all the necessary information as accurately as possible. Your wireless device may be the only means of communication at the scene of an accident. Do not end the call until given permission to do so.
Avoid Repetitive Motion
You may experience occasional discomfort in your hands, arms, shoulders, neck, or other parts of your body if you perform repetitive activities, such as typing or playing games, on the device.
Take frequent breaks. If you have discomfort while or after using the device, stop using and see a physician.
Advices on how to reduce radio waves exposure
Reduce the amount of exposure as a precautionary measure whenever possible.
In order to reduce the amount of exposure, always use your mobile device when reception signal is strong. 4 or 5 signal bars indicates a good level of reception. It is therefore not recommended to use your mobile device inside a train, or inside an underground car park. Always prefer to use a handsfree earset when talking. You are reminded that the use of your mobile device is forbidden when driving your car. Pregnant women are advised to place the mobile device away from the stomach.

This mobile phone model meets the guidelines for exposure to radio waves.
Your mobile phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio waves recommended by international guidelines. These guidelines were developed by the independent scientific organization ICNIRP and include safety margins designed to assure the protection of all persons, regardless of age and health. The exposure guidelines for mobile devices employ a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate or SAR. The SAR limit stated in the ICNIRP guidelines is 2.0 watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged over 10 grams of tissue.
Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions with the device transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. The actual SAR level of an operating device can be below the maximum value because the device is designed to use only the power required to reach the network. That amount changes depending on a number of factors such as how close you are to a network base station.
The highest SAR value under the ICNIRP guidelines for use of this device at the ear is 0.932 W/kg.

Phone Service Providers
Virtual mobile phone service provider refers to service p r o v i d e r s w h o d o n o t h a v e a n y G S M n e t w o r k infrastructures of its own and must rely on the network infrastructure of an existing network operator (for France: Orange, SFR and Bouygues Telecom). If you subscribe to a virtual mobile phone service provider, the phone will connect to a network that does not belong to the SIM card operator. Your phone will then interpret that you are abroad and display a roaming alert message (see below)
before you dial a call, send a message, receive an MMS or connect to the Internet in order to warn you of the risk of being overcharged. By default, attempts to connect t o t h e I n t e r n e t wi l l b e refused.

message and select your network operator.
After that, select the second option “Always”. By default,
you are always notified whenever additional cost is
generated during roaming. To stop displaying the alert
message, select “Never”.
- 17-
Important Note: You will not receive any roaming alert when you are abroad. You should be particularly vigilant and preferably restore the roaming alert to warn you of the risk of being overcharged by your operator. You can also disable mobile data completely (please refer to section
1.2.).
If you live in France in the border area (with Belgium, Switzerland, Spain, Italy), it is strongly recommended that you do not to turn off the roaming alert because
there is a risk that the phone connects to a foreign network when your main network's signal is momentarily absent. For more information, please contact your service provider.
Important Remark: If the “R” symbol is displayed at the top right corner of the screen, next to the signal strength indicator, that means you are roaming. By consequent, substantial charges may apply for calls and mobile data.
