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.

 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.

-20-

第 21 页

 When unplugging the charger, hold the plug itself, rather

than pulling on the cable. A damaged cable can cause
electrocution or fire.

-22-

第 23 页

Care and maintenance

 Your phone is a delicate device. The following advice will

help you to keep it looking good and performing well…

 Use a soft dry cloth to clean your phone, battery and

charger. Don’t use liquids such as alcohol, dilution agents

or benzene.

 From time-to-time, clean the socket where the charger

cable connects to the phone. Dust tends to gather there.
This will ensure a really good connection.

 Don’t use needles, pen points or other sharp objects on the

keypad or screen.

 Don’t use your phone with wet hands – it could injure you

and damage the phone.

 Don’t use your phone in dusty or dirty environment.
 Keep your phone away from extremes of heat – like

radiators or ovens. It may explode if it gets too hot.

 If your phone gets wet and the colour of the label on it

changes, the warranty will be void, even if the warranty
period hasn’t expired.

 If there’s anything wrong with the phone, battery, charger,

or any accessory, please send them to your nearest
service centre for inspection.

RF Exposure Information (SAR)

This phone is designed and manufactured not to exceed the
emission limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy
set by the Federal Communications Commission of the
United States.

During SAR testing, this device was set to transmit at its
highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands,
and placed in positions that simulate RF exposure in usage
against the head with no separation, and near the body with
the separation of 10 mm. Although the SAR is determined at
the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the
device while operating can be well below the maximum
value. This is because the phone is designed to operate at
multiple power levels so as to use only the power required to
reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a
wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output.

The exposure standard for wireless devices employing a unit
of measurement is known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or
SAR.
The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg.

This device is complied with SAR for general population
/uncontrolled exposure limits in ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1992 and
had been tested in accordance with the measurement
methods and procedures specified in IEEE1528. This device

-27-

has been tested and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines
when tested with the device directly contacted to the body.

The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this
model phone with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in
compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR
information on this model phone is on file with the FCC and
can be found under the Display Grant section of
www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid after searching on FCC ID:
SRQ-Z933.

For this device, the highest reported SAR value for usage
against the head is 0.58 W/kg, for usage near the body is 1.42
W/kg.

While there may be differences between the SAR levels of
various phones and at various positions, they all meet the
government requirements.

SAR compliance for body-worn operation is based on a
separation distance of 10 mm between the unit and the
human body. Carry this device at least 10 mm away from your
body to ensure RF exposure level compliant or lower to the
reported level. To support body-worn operation, choose the
belt clips or holsters, which do not contain metallic
components, to maintain a separation of 10 mm between this
device and your body.
RF exposure compliance with any body-worn accessory,
which contains metal, was not tested and certified, and use
such body-worn accessory should be avoided.
