Safety and use ..............................
We recommend that you read this chapter carefully before using your phone. The manufacturer 
disclaims  any  liability  for  damage,  which  may  result  as  a  consequence  of  improper  use  or  use 
contrary to the instructions contained herein.
TRAFFIC SAFETY:
 
Given that studies show that using a mobile phone while driving a vehicle constitutes a real risk, 
even when the hands-free kit is used (car kit, headset...), drivers are requested to refrain from using 
their mobile when the vehicle is not parked.
When driving, do not use your phone and headphone to listen to music or to the radio. Using a 
headphone can be dangerous and forbidden in some areas.
When switched on, your phone emits electromagnetic waves that can interfere with the vehicle’s 
electronic systems such as ABS anti-lock brakes or airbags. To ensure that there is no problem:
-  do not place your phone on top of the dashboard or within an airbag deployment area,
-  check with your car dealer or the car manufacturer to make sure that the dashboard is adequately 
shielded from mobile phone RF energy.
CONDITIONS OF USE:
 
You are advised to switch off the telephone from time to time to optimise its performance.
Switch the phone off before boarding an aircraft.
Switch the phone off when you are in health care facilities, except in designated areas. As with many 
other types of equipment now in regular use, mobile telephones can interfere with other electrical 
or electronic devices, or equipment using radio frequency.
Switch  the  phone  off  when  you  are  near  gas  or  flammable  liquids.  Strictly  obey  all  signs  and 
instructions posted in a fuel depot, petrol station, or chemical plant, or in any potentially explosive 
atmosphere.
When the phone is switched on, it should be kept at least 15 cm from any medical device such as 
a pacemaker, a hearing aid or insulin pump, etc. In particular when using the phone, you should hold 
it against the ear on the opposite side to the device, if any. 
To avoid hearing impairment, pick up the call before holding your phone to your ear. Also move 
the handset away from your ear while using the “hands-free” mode because the amplified volume 
might cause hearing damage.
Do  not  let  children  use  the  phone  and/or  play  with  the  telephone  and  accessories  without 
supervision.
When replacing the cover please note that your phone may contain substances that could create 
an allergic reaction.
Always handle your phone with care and keep it in a clean and dust-free place.
Do  not  allow  your  phone  to  be  exposed  to  adverse  weather  or  environmental  conditions 
(moisture, humidity, rain, infiltration of liquids, dust, sea air, etc). The manufacturer’s recommended 
operating temperature range is -10°C to +55°C. 
At over 55°C the legibility of the phone’s display may be impaired, though this is temporary and 
not serious.

Emergency call numbers may not be reachable on all cellular networks. You should never rely only 
on your phone for emergency calls.
Do not open, dismantle or attempt to repair your mobile phone yourself.
Do not drop, throw or bend your mobile phone.
Do not paint it.
Use  only  batteries,  battery  chargers,  and  accessories  which  are  recommended  by TCT  Mobile 
Limited and its affiliates and are compatible with your phone model. TCT Mobile Limited and its 
affiliates disclaim any liability for damage caused by the use of other chargers or batteries.
Remember to make back-up copies or keep a written record of all important information stored 
in your phone.
Some people may suffer epileptic seizures or blackouts when exposed to flashing lights, or when 
playing video games. These seizures or blackouts may occur even if a person never had a previous 
seizure or blackout. 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 flashing-lights feature on your phone. 
Parents  should  monitor  their  children’s  use  of  video  games  or  other  features  that  incorporate 
flashing  lights  on  the  phones. All  persons  should  discontinue  use  and  consult  a  doctor  if  any  of 
the following symptoms occur: convulsion, eye or muscle twitching, loss of awareness, involuntary 
movements, or disorientation. To limit the likelihood of such symptoms, please take the following 
safety precautions:
-  Do not play or use a flashing-lights feature if you are tired or need sleep.
-  Take a minimum of a 15-minute break hourly.
-  Play in a room in which all lights are on.
-  Play at the farthest distance possible from the screen.
-  If your hands, wrists, or arms become tired or sore while playing, stop and rest for several hours 
before playing again.
-  If  you  continue  to  have  sore  hands,  wrists,  or  arms  during  or  after  playing,  stop  the  game  and 
see a doctor.
When you play games on your phone, you may experience occasional discomfort in your hands, 
arms, shoulders, neck, or other parts of your body. Follow the instructions to avoid problems such 
as tendinitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, or other musculoskeletal disorders.
  Prolonged exposure to music at full volume on the music player may damage the listener's 
hearing. Set your phone volume safely. Use only headphones recommended by TCT Mobile 
Limited and its affiliates.
PRIVACY:
 
Please note that you must respect the laws and regulations in force in your jurisdiction or other 
jurisdiction(s) where you will use your mobile phone regarding taking photographs and recording 
sounds  with  your  mobile  telephone.  Pursuant  to  such  laws  and  regulations,  it  may  be  strictly 
forbidden to take photographs and/or to record the voices of other people or any of their personal 
attributes, and duplicate or distribute them, as this may be considered to be an invasion of privacy. 
It  is  the  user's  sole  responsibility  to  ensure  that  prior  authorisation  be  obtained,  if  necessary,  in 
order  to  record  private  or  confidential  conversations  or  take  a  photograph  of  another  person; 
the manufacturer, the seller or vendor of your mobile phone (including the operator) disclaim any 
liability which may result from the improper use of the mobile phone.
BATTERY:
 
Before removing the battery from your phone, please make sure that the phone is switched off. 
Observe the following precautions for battery use: 
-  Do not attempt to open the battery (due to the risk of toxic fumes and burns). 
-  Do not puncture, disassemble or cause a short-circuit in a battery, 
-  Do  not  burn  or  dispose  of  a  used  battery  in  household  rubbish  or  store  it  at  temperatures 
above 60°C. 
Batteries must be disposed of in accordance with locally applicable environmental regulations. Only 
use the battery for the purpose for which it was designed. Never use damaged batteries or those 
not recommended by TCT Mobile Limited and/or its affiliates.

RADIO WAVES:
 
Proof  of  compliance  with  international  standards  (ICNIRP)  or  with  European  Directive  1999/5/
EC (R&TTE) is required of all mobile phone models before they can be put on the market. The 
protection of the health and safety for the user and any other person is an essential requirement 
of these standards or this directive.
THIS DEVICE MEETS INTERNATIONAL GUIDELINES FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.
Your mobile device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed not to exceed the limits for 
exposure to radio waves (radio frequency electromagnetic fields) recommended by international 
guidelines. The guidelines were developed by an independent scientific organization (ICNIRP) and 
include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age 
and health.
The radio wave exposure guidelines use a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption 
Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit for mobile devices is 2 W/kg.
Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions with the device transmitting at its 
highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. The highest SAR values under the ICNIRP 
guidelines for this device model are:
Maximum SAR for this model and conditions under which it was recorded.
Head SAR
UMTS 2100 + Bluetooth + Wi-Fi
Body-worn SAR
GSM 900 + Bluetooth + Wi-Fi
1.3 W/kg
0.8 W/kg
During use, the actual SAR values for this device are usually well below the values stated above. 
This is because, for purposes of system efficiency and to minimize interference on the network, the 
operating power of your mobile device is automatically decreased when full power is not needed 
for the call. The lower the power output of the device, the lower its SAR value.
Body-worn  SAR  testing  has  been  carried  out  at  a  separation  distance  of  1.5  cm. To  meet  RF 
exposure  guidelines  during  body-worn  operation,  the  device  should  be  positioned  at  least  this 
distance away from the body.  If you are not using an approved accessory ensure that whatever 
product is used is free of any metal and that it positions the phone the indicated distance away 
from the body.
Organizations such as the World Health Organization and the US Food and Drug Administration 
have  stated  that  if  people  are  concerned  and  want  to  reduce  their  exposure  they  could  use  a 
hands-free device to keep the phone away from the head and body during phone calls, or reduce 
the amount of time spent on the phone.
For more information you can go to www.alcatelonetouch.com
Additional information about electromagnetic fields and public health are available on the following 
site: http://www.who.int/peh-emf.
Your telephone is equipped with a built-in antenna. For optimal operation, you should avoid touching 
it or degrading it.
As mobile devices offer a range of functions, they can be used in positions other than against your 
ear. In such circumstances the device will be compliant with the guidelines when used with headset 
or usb data cable. If you are using another accessory ensure that whatever product is used is free 
of any metal and that it positions the phone at least 1.5 cm away from the body.

Protection against theft (1)
Your telephone is identified by an IMEI (phone serial number) shown on 
the packaging label and in the phone’s memory. We recommend that you 
note the number the first time you use your telephone by entering * # 0 
6 # and keep it in a safe place. It may be requested by the police or your 
operator  if  your  telephone  is  stolen. This  number  allows  your  mobile 
telephone to be blocked preventing a third person from using it, even with 
a different SIM card.
