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 phone when the vehicle is not parked.
When driving, do not use your headphones to listen to music or
to the radio. Using headphones 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
optimize 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.

The exposure standard for mobile phones employs a unit of
measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR.
The SAR limit set by public authorities such as the Federal
Communications Commission of the US Government (FCC), or
by Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada, is
1.6 W/kg averaged over 1 gram of body tissue. Tests for SAR are
conducted using standard operating positions with the mobile
phone transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested
frequency bands.
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.
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: 2ACCJB090.
Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power
level, the actual SAR level of the mobile phone while operating
can be well below the maximum value. This is because the mobile
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 of the mobile phone. Before a mobile phone
model is available for sale to the public, compliance with national
regulations and standards must be shown.
Maximum SAR for this model and conditions under which it
was recorded.
Head SAR 0.80 W/kg
Body-worn SAR 1.33 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 15 mm between the unit and the human body. Carry
this device at least 15 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 15
mm between this device and your body.
In European Union countries:
These collection points are accessible free of charge.
All products with this sign must be brought to these collection
points.
In non-European Union jurisdictions:
Items of equipment with this symbol are not to be thrown into
ordinary bins if your jurisdiction or your region has suitable
recycling and collection facilities; instead they are to be taken to
collection points for them to be recycled.
CAUTION: RISK OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS REPLACED
BY AN INCORRECT TYPE. DISPOSE OF USED BATTERIES
ACCORDING TO THE INSTRUCTIONS.
CHARGERS:
Home A.C./ Travel chargers will operate within the temperature
range of: 0°C (32°F) to 45°C (113°F).
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.
Characteristics of power supply (depending on the country):
