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.

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

• CHARGERS
Mains  powered  chargers  will  operate  within  the  temperature  range  of:  0  °C  to 
40 °C.
The chargers designed for your mobile phone meet with the standard for safety of 
information  technology  equipment  and  office  equipment  use.  Due  to  different 
applicable electrical specifications, a charger you purchased in one jurisdiction may 
not work in another jurisdiction. They should be used for this purpose only.
• 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  MOBILE  PHONE  COMPLIES  WITH  INTERNATIONAL  AND  EUROPEAN 
REQUIREMENTS REGARDING EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.
Your  mobile  phone  is  a  radio  transmitter/receiver.  It  was  designed  and 
manufactured  to  comply  with  the  radiofrequency  (RF)  exposure  thresholds 
recommended by international requirements (ICNIRP) (1) and by the Council of the 
European Union (Recommendation 1999/519/EC) (2).
These  limits  are  part  of  a  set  of  requirements  and  establish  authorised 
radiofrequency levels for the public. These limits were established by independent 
groups of experts on the basis of regular and detailed scientific assessments. They 
include a significant safety margin intended to ensure the safety of all, regardless of 
age or state of health.
The  exposure  standard  for  mobile  phones  is  determined  by  a  measurement  unit 
known  as  the  Specific  Absorption  Rate  or  “SAR”.  The  SAR  limit  is  set  by 
international  requirements  or  by  the  Council  of  the  European  Union  at  2  watts/
kilogram  (W/kg)  averaged  over  10  grams  of  body  tissue.  The  tests  used  to 
determine SAR levels were carried out on the basis of standard usage modes with 
the  phones  transmitting  at  their  maximum  power  level  over  the  entire  range  of 
frequency bands.
Although the SAR was established at the highest certified level, the actual SAR level 
for the mobile phone during use is generally much lower than the maximum values. 
In  fact,  since  mobile  phones  are  designed  to  operate  at  many  different  power 
levels, they only use the minimum level of power required to provide a connection 
to the network. In theory, the closer you are to a base station antenna, the lower 
the power level required by the mobile phone.
(1)  The  ICNIRP  requirements  are  applicable  in  the  following  regions:  Central 
America (except Mexico), South America, North and South Africa, Pacific Asia 
(except Korea), Australia.
(2)  The  European  recommendation  (1999/519/EC)  is  applicable  in  the  following 
15
16
17
regions: Europe, Israel.
18
19
The  highest  tested  SAR  value  for  this  mobile  phone  for  use  at  the  ear  and 
compliance  against  the  standard  is  0.85  W/kg.  While  there  may  be  differences 
between the SAR levels on various phones and at various positions, they all meet 
the  relevant  International  guidelines  and  EU  requirements  for  RF  (radio-waves) 
exposure.
The  World  Health  Organisation  (WHO)  considers  that  present  scientific 
information  does  not  indicate  the  need  for  any  special  precautions  for  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 (fact sheet n° 193). 
Additional information about electromagnetic fields and public health are available 
on the following site: http://www.who.int/peh-emf. 
Although no danger relating to the use of telephone was ever proved, the World 
Health  Organisation  advises  as  a  precautionary  measure  to  use  your  telephone 
with a good level of network reception as indicated on the telephone display (4 to 
5 bars). It is also advised to keep the telephone, during communications, away from 
the belly of pregnant women and from the lower abdomen for teenagers.
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 2cm 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 product’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.
