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 1.0 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.
6
Do not let children use the phone and/or play with the telephone and accessories
without supervision.
Please note that your phone is a unibody device, the back cover and battery are not
removable. Do not attempt to disassemble your phone. If you disassemble your
phone the warranty will not apply. Also disassembling the phone may damage the
battery, and may cause leakage of 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.
Do not use the phone if the glass made screen is damaged, cracked or broken to
avoid any injury.
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.
7
- 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.
