Safety Precautions

This section includes some important information on safe and efcient

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. Make sure

that the phone is at least one inch (about two point ve 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 ashing 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 your phone or enabling a

ashing-light feature on your phone. (The ashing-light feature is not
available on all products.)

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 trafc 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 (about 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.

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.

Mobile Phone

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.

As your mobile phone can produce electromagnetic eld, do not place ■
it near magnetic items such as computer disks.

Using the phone near electrical appliances such as TV, telephone, ■
radio and personal computer can cause interference.

Do not expose your mobile phone to direct sunlight or store it in hot ■
areas. High temperatures can shorten the life of electronic devices.

Keep your phone dry. Any liquid may damage your phone. ■
Do not drop, knock or harshly treat the phone. Rough handling can ■

break internal circuit boards.
Do not connect the phone with any incompatible enhancement. ■
Do not attempt to disassemble the mobile phone or battery. ■
Do not store the phone with ammable or explosive articles. ■
Do not charge the mobile phone without battery. ■

Precautions for Potentially Explosive Atmospheres

Switch off your phone prior to entering any area with potentially explosive ■
atmospheres, such as fueling areas, fuel or chemical transfer or storage
facilities.

Do not remove, install, or charge batteries in such areas. Spark in ■

a potentially explosive atmosphere can cause an explosion or re

resulting in bodily injury or even death.
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 off 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 transmission. 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

inate with great force. If a phone is placed in the airbag deployment
area and the airbag inates, 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.

Aircraft Safety

Please turn off your mobile phone before the airplane takes off. In ■
order to protect airplane’s communication system from interference,

it is forbidden to use mobile phone in ight. Safety regulations require

you to have permission from a crew member to use your phone while
the plane is on the ground.

If the mobile phone has the function of automatic timing power-on, ■
please check your alarm setting to make sure that your phone will not

be automatically turned on during ight.

Battery Use

Do not short-circuit the battery, as this can cause the unit to overheat ■
or ignite.

Do not store battery in hot areas or throw it into re. Otherwise, it will ■
cause explosion.

Do not disassemble or ret the battery. Otherwise, it will cause liquid ■
leakage, overheating, explosion and ignition of the battery.

Please store the battery in a cool dry place if you don’t use it for a ■
long period.

The battery can be recharged for hundreds of times, but it will eventually ■

wear out. When the operating time (talk time and standby time) is

noticeably shorter than normal, it is time to replace it with a new one.
Please stop using the charger and battery when they are damaged ■

or show evidence of aging.
Return the worn-out battery to the provider or dispose of it in accordance ■

with environment regulations. Do not dispose of it in household rubbish.
Please use original batteries or batteries approved by the phone ■

manufacturer. Using any unauthorized battery may affect your handset
performance or may cause danger of explosion, etc.

Warning: If the battery is damaged, do not discharge it. If the leakage
does come into contact with the eyes or skin, wash thoroughly in clean
water and consult a doctor.
