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.

IP2801_305_505_508_UM_EASY_Eng_GB_24_100125:303-360-363-383_UM_GB_14-04-09

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 (see Accessories List, page 66).
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.

This symbol on your telephone, the battery and the accessories means that these
products must be taken to collection points at the end of their life:
- Municipal waste disposal centres with specific bins for these items of equipment
- Collection bins at points of sale.
They will then be recycled, preventing substances being disposed of in the environment, so that
their components can be reused.
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

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.

IP2801_305_505_508_UM_EASY_Eng_GB_24_100125:303-360-363-383_UM_GB_14-04-09

• 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.

2010-1-25

Tina10:00

Page 7

The highest tested SAR value for this mobile phone for use at the ear and compliance against the
standard is 1.2 W/kg (OT-305/OT-505). 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.
