For Your Safety
General Safety
Don’t make or receive handheld calls while driving. And never text while driving.
Keep your phone at least 15 mm away from your ear or body while making calls.
Small parts may cause a choking.
Your phone can produce a loud sound.
Keep away from pacemakers and other electronic medical devices.
Switch off when asked to in hospitals and medical facilities.
Don’t use at petrol stations.
Your phone may produce a bright or flashing light.
Don’t dispose of your phone in fire.
To prevent possible hearing damage, do not listen at high volume levels for long periods.
Avoid contact with anything magnetic.
Avoid extreme temperatures.
11
Switch off when told to in aircrafts and airports.
Switch off when near explosive materials or liquids.
Don’t rely on your phone for emergency communications.
Avoid contact with liquids. Keep your phone dry.
Don’t take your phone apart.
Only use approved accessories.
Radio Frequency (RF) Exposure
General Statement on RF Energy
Your phone contains a transmitter and a receiver. When it is ON, it receives and transmits RF energy. When you communicate with your phone, the system handling your call controls the power level at which your phone transmits.
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.
12
The guidelines use a unit of measurement known as Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit for mobile devices is 2 W/kg and the highest SAR value for this device when tested at the ear was 0.688 W/kg*, when worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is 1.06 W/kg*, and during simultaneous transmission (for example, making a phone call and using Wi-Fi at the same time) is 1.248 W/kg. As mobile devices offer a range of functions, they can be used in other positions, such as on the body as described in this user guide**.
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. * The tests are carried out in accordance with EN50360, EN 62311, EN 62209-1 and EN 62209-2. ** Please see body worn operation.
Body Worn Operation
Important safety information regarding radio frequency radiation (RF) exposure: To ensure compliance with RF exposure guidelines the phone must be used with a minimum of 15 mm separation from the body. Failure to observe these instructions could result in your RF exposure exceeding the relevant guideline limits.
13
Limiting Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) Fields
For individuals concerned about limiting their exposure to RF fields, the World Health Organization (WHO) provides the following advice:
Precautionary measures: Present scientific information does not indicate the need for any special precautions for the 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.
Further information on this subject can be obtained from the WHO home page http://www.who.int/peh-emf (WHO Fact sheet 193: June 2000).
Regulatory Information
The following approvals and notices apply in specific regions as noted.
Please find the section Declaration of RoHS Compliance and CE DOC in the end of this manual.
14
Distraction
Driving
Full attention must be given to driving at all times in order to reduce the risk of an accident. Using a phone while driving (even with a hands free kit) can cause distraction and lead to an accident. You must comply with local laws and regulations restricting the use of wireless devices while driving.
Operating Machinery
Full attention must be given to operating the machinery in order to reduce the risk of an accident.
Product Handling
General Statement on Handling and Use
You alone are responsible for how you use your phone and any consequences of its use.
You must always switch off your phone wherever the use of a phone is prohibited. Use of your phone is subject to safety measures designed to protect users and their environment.
Always treat your phone and its accessories with care and keep it in a clean and dust-free place.
15
Do not expose your phone or its accessories to open flames or lit tobacco products.
Do not expose your phone or its accessories to liquid, moisture or high humidity.
Do not drop, throw or try to bend your phone or its accessories.
Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or aerosols to clean the device or its accessories.
Do not paint your phone or its accessories.
Do not attempt to disassemble your phone or its
accessories, only authorized personnel can do so.
Do not expose your phone or its accessories to extreme temperatures, minimum - [5] and maximum + [50] degrees Celsius.
Please check local regulations for disposal of electronic products.
Do not carry your phone in your back pocket as it could break when you sit down.
Small Children
Do not leave your phone and its accessories within the reach of small children or allow them to play with it.
They could hurt themselves or others, or could accidentally damage the phone.
16
Your phone contains small parts with sharp edges that may cause an injury or may become detached and create a choking hazard.
Demagnetization
To avoid the risk of demagnetization, do not allow electronic devices or magnetic media close to your phone for a long time.

Air Bags
Do not place a phone in the area over an air bag or in the air bag deployment area as an airbag inflates with great force and serious injury could result.
Store the phone safely before driving your vehicle.
Seizures/Blackouts
The phone can produce a bright or flashing light. A small percentage of people may be susceptible to blackouts or seizures (even if they have never had one before) when exposed to flashing lights or light patterns such as when playing games or watching video. If you have experienced seizures or blackouts or have a family history of such occurrences, please consult a physician.
18
Repetitive Strain Injuries
To minimize the risk of Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI) when texting or playing games with your phone:
Do not grip the phone too tightly.

its accessory. If your phone or its accessory has been submerged in water,
punctured, or subjected to a severe fall, do not use it until you have taken it to be checked at an authorized service centre.
20
Radio Frequency Interference
General Statement on Interference
Care must be taken when using the phone in close proximity to personal medical devices, such as pacemakers and hearing aids.
Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum separation of 15 cm be maintained between a mobile phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. To achieve this, use the phone on the opposite ear to your pacemaker and do not carry it in a breast pocket.
Hearing Aids
People with hearing aids or other cochlear implants may experience interfering noises when using wireless devices or when one is nearby.
The level of interference will depend on the type of hearing device and the distance from the interference source, increasing the separation between them may reduce the interference. You may also consult your hearing aid manufacturer to discuss alternatives.
21
Medical Devices
Please consult your doctor and the device manufacturer to determine if operation of your phone may interfere with the operation of your medical device.
Hospitals
Switch off your wireless device when requested to do so in hospitals, clinics or health care facilities. These requests are designed to prevent possible interference with sensitive medical equipment.
Aircraft
Switch off your wireless device whenever you are instructed to do so by airport or airline staff.
Consult the airline staff about the use of wireless devices on board the aircraft. If your device offers a ‘flight mode’, this must be enabled prior to boarding an aircraft.
Interference in Cars
Please note that because of possible interference to electronic equipment, some vehicle manufacturers forbid the use of mobile phones in their vehicles unless a hands-free kit with an external antenna is included in the installation.
22
Explosive Environments
Petrol Stations and Explosive Atmospheres
In locations with potentially explosive atmospheres, obey all posted signs to turn off wireless devices such as your phone or other radio equipment.
