Let’s get started
Let’s get started
Thanks for choosing the R144C. It’s a cdma 2000 1X Digital Mobile Phone, which we’ll
simply call ‘phone’ from now on.
If you’d like your phone to live a long and fruitful life, please read this guide carefully and
keep it for future reference. You never know when you might need it.
And don’t worry if the pictures we use to demonstrate your phone’s functions look a little
different from what you see on its screen. It’s the functions they show that matter.
Lost or stolen?
If your phone goes missing, please tell your service provider as soon as you know. That way
other people can be barred from using it.
Obviously, it’s best to keep your phone with you at all times, and we’d strongly advise you to
set a phone lock code, and change it from time to time.

Let’s get started
Using your phone safely
on the road
Using a phone while driving is illegal in many countries. Please follow local laws and
drive safely at all times.
near sensitive electronics
Don’t use your phone near sensitive electronic equipment – particularly medical devices
such as pacemakers – as it could cause them to malfunction. It can also interfere with
the operation of fire detectors and other automatic-control equipment.
For more information about how your phone affects pacemakers or other electronic
equipment, please contact the manufacturer or your local distributor.
Your phone may cause interference when used near TVs, radios or automated office
equipment.
while flying
Your phone can cause interference with aircraft equipment. So it’s essential you follow
airline regulations. And if airline personnel ask you to switch off your phone, or disable
its wireless functions, please do as they say.
2
Let’s get started
in hospital
Your phone may interfere with the normal operation of medical equipment. Follow all
hospital regulations and turn it off when you’re asked to by posted warnings or
medical staff.
at a petrol station
Don’t use your phone at petrol stations. In fact, it’s always best to switch off whenever
you’re near fuels, chemicals or explosives.
around water
Keep your phone away from water (or any other liquid). It’s not a waterproof model.
making repairs
Never take your phone apart. Please leave that to the professionals. Unauthorised repairs
could break the terms of your warranty.
broken antenna
Don’t use your phone if the antenna is damaged, as it could cause injury.
3
Let’s get started
around children
Keep your mobile out of children’s reach. It should never be used as a toy and it might
not be good for their health.
original accessories
Only use the original accessories supplied with your phone or those approved by the
manufacturer. Using unapproved accessories may affect performance, make the warranty
void, break national regulations on the use of mobile phones, or even cause injury.
near explosives
Turn off your phone in or near areas where explosive materials are used. Always
obey local laws and turn off your phone when requested.
emergency calls
To make an emergency call your phone must be turned on and in an area where
there’s network coverage. Dial the national emergency number and press ‘send’.
Explain exactly where you are and don’t hang up until help has arrived.
4
Let’s get started
working temperature
The working temperature for the phone is between 0℃ and 40℃. Please don’t use
the phone outside the range. Using the phone under too high or too low temperature
might cause problems.
At very high volume, prolonged listening to a mobile phone can damage
your hearing.
Battery care and safety
Keep the battery in a cool, ventilated place and out of direct sunlight.
Although the battery is rechargeable, it’ll eventually start to lose its ability to recharge.
If you find that the battery won’t recharge, it’s time to replace it.
Please don’t throw old batteries into your household rubbish. You’ll find there are
special bins for batteries at refuse collection points. And some high street electrical
stores provide a battery recycling service too.
5
Let’s get started
Never throw the battery into a fire – it’s highly inflammable and could explode, hurting
you or somebody else.
When you put the battery into your phone, there’s no need to use force. Exerting too
much pressure could make it leak, overheat, explode or burst into flame.
Never take the battery apart. This may result in leakage, overheating, explosion or fire.
If the battery becomes hot, changes colour or shape at any time (when in use,
charging or even while in storage) please stop using it immediately and replace.
Keep the battery dry. Damp or wet conditions can cause it to overheat or corrode.
Don’t leave the battery in direct sunlight or anywhere really hot, like in a car on a
summer’s day. That could make it leak or overheat, while lowering its performance and
shortening its life.
Don’t charge the battery continuously for 24 hours. Overcharging is not good for it.
Note:
Please avoid contact with the materials inside a damaged or leaking
battery. If they get on your skin, wash with lots of water and seek medical
assistance if required.

Let’s get started
Charger care and safety
Only plug into voltages between 110VAC and 220VAC. Using a voltage outside that
range can damage the phone/charger – and cause the battery to leak or catch fire.
Never short-circuit the charger – this may cause electrocution, overheating or damage.
Don’t charge the phone in direct sunlight or in an area where it’s damp, dusty, or on a
vibrating surface. And charging your phone near – or on – a TV or radio could interfere
with transmission.
Don’t use the charger if the power cable is damaged. It may cause a fire or give
someone an electric shock.
Keep water well away from the charger. If the charger does get splashed by water, or
any other kind of liquid, immediately unplug it to avoid overheating, fire or
electrocution.
Don’t take the charger apart. It could cause injury, give you an electric shock or catch fire.
Never touch any charger, electric cable or socket with wet hands.
Don’t place heavy objects on the electric cable.
If the cable is damaged, don’t try to mend it yourself – it could cause a fire or
electrocute you.
Always unplug the charger before you clean it.
When unplugging the charger, hold the plug itself, rather than pulling on the cable. A
damaged cable can cause electrocution or fire.
