Safety Precautions
This section includes some important information on safe and efficient operation. Please
read this information before using the phone.
Operational Precautions
Please use your phone properly. When making or receiving a call, please hold your
phone as holding a wireline telephone. Ensure the phone is at least one inch (two
point five centimeters) from your body when transmitting.
Do not touch the antenna when the phone is in use. Touching the antenna area
affects call quality and may cause the phone to operate at a higher power level
than needed.
Some people may be susceptible to epileptic seizures or blackouts when exposed
to flashing lights, such as when watching television or playing video games. 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 you phone
or enabling a flashing-lights feature on your phone. (The flashing-light feature is
not available on all products.)
9
Keep the phone out of the reach of small children. The phone may cause injury if
used as a toy.
Precautions While Driving
Please pay attention to the traffic safety. Check the laws and regulations on the
use of your phone in the area where you drive. Always obey them.
Use hands-free function of the phone, if available.
Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if conditions require.
Precautions for Medical Devices and Facilities
When using your phone near pacemakers, please always keep the phone more
than eight inches (twenty centimeters) from the pacemaker when the phone is
switched on. Do not carry the phone in the breast pocket. Use the ear opposite the
pacemaker to minimize the potential for interference. Switch off the phone
immediately if necessary.
Some phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of such
interference, you may consult your hearing aids manufacturer to discuss
alternatives.
10
If you use any other personal medical device, please consult the manufacturer of
your device to determine if it is adequately shielded from RF energy.
In those facilities with special demand, such as hospital or health care facilities,
please pay attention to the restriction on the use of mobile phone. Switch off your
phone if required.

Please use original accessories or accessories approved by the phone
manufacturer. Using any unauthorized accessories may affect your mobile phone’s
performance, damage your phone or even cause danger to your body and violate
related local regulations about telecom terminals.
Turn off your phone before you clean it. Use a damp or anti-static cloth to clean the
phone. Do not use a dry cloth or electrostatically charged cloth. Do not use
chemical or abrasive cleaners as these could damage the phone.

11
personal computer can cause interference.
Do not expose your mobile phone to direct sunlight or store it in hot areas. High

explosive atmosphere can cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or
even death.
12
To avoid possible interference with blasting operations, switch off your phone when
you are near electrical blasting caps, in a blasting area, or in areas posted “Turn of f
electronic devices.” Obey all signs and instructions.
Precautions for Electronic Devices
Some electronic devices are susceptible to electromagnetic interference sent by
mobile phone if inadequately shielded, such as electronic system of vehicles.
Please consult the manufacturer of the device before using the phone if necessary.
Safety and General Use in Vehicles
Safety airbag, brake, speed control system and oil eject system shouldn’t be
affected by wireless transmitting. If you do meet problems above, please contact
your automobile provider. Do not place your phone in the area over an airbag or in
the airbag deployment area. Airbags inflate with great force. If a phone is placed in
the airbag deployment area and the airbag inflates, the phone may be propelled
with great force and cause serious injury to occupants of the vehicle.
Please turn off your mobile phone at a refueling point, and the same to the place
where the use of two-way radio is prohibited.
13
