Warning and Maintenance
• Keep the phone out of the reach of little children. The phone may cause injury if used as a toy.
• Please use original accessories or accessories that are authorized by the manufacturer.
• Please keep the phone dry and store in shady and cool place.
• Do not expose your mobile phone to direct sunlight or store it in hot areas. High temperatures can shorten the life
of electronic devices.
• Prevent liquid from seeping into your phone.
• Do not drop or harshly treat the phone. Rough handling can break internal circuit boards.
• Do not connect the phone with other unauthorized peripheral equipments.
• Do not attempt to dismantle the mobile phone and battery by yourself.
• Power off your phone before you clean the phone. Please use clean fabric that is anti-static to clean your phone.
• As your mobile phone can produce electromagnetic field, do not use the phone near electrical appliances.
• Do not charge the mobile phone without battery.
• Beware of the usage limitation when using a mobile phone at places such as oil warehouses or chemical factories.
• The user is cautioned that changes or modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the
user’s authority to operate the equipment.

Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)
Your mobile device 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 guidelines use a unit of measurement known as Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit for mobile
devices is 1.6 W/kg and the highest SAR value for this device when tested was 1.15 W/kg. As mobile devices offer a
range of functions, they can be used in other positions, such as on the body.
As SAR is measured utilizing the device’s highest transmitting power, the actual SAR of this device while operating
is typically below that indicated above. This is due to automatic changes to the power level of the device to ensure it
only uses the minimum power required to communicate with the network.
Safety Information (General Care)
• Use a wireless hands-free system (headphone, headset) with a low power Bluetooth emitter.
• Make sure the cell phone has a low SAR.
• Keep your calls short or send a text message (SMS) instead. This advice applies especially to children,
adolescents and pregnant women.
• Use cell phone when the signal quality is good.
• People having active medical implants should preferably keep the cell phone at least 15 cm away from the implant.
