Getting started
Phone setup
Removing or installing the back cover
Important: To avoid damage to the phone, please use the standard microSIM card included in the box.

Installing a microSD card (not included)

Installing the micro-SIM card

Place the microSD card with the chip facing downwards and slide it into its
housing. Make sure that it is correctly inserted. To remove the microSD card,
press and slide it out.

You must insert your SIM card to make phone calls.
Place the SIM card with the chip facing downwards and slide it into its
housing. Make sure that it is correctly inserted. To remove the SIM card, press
and slide it out.

Note: Some applications may require a microSD card to work normally or
to store data. Therefore, it is recommended that you keep a microSD card
installed and not remove or replace it randomly.

Charging the battery
Your phone’s battery should have enough power for the phone to turn on,
find a signal, and make a few calls. You should fully charge the battery as
soon as possible.
When the battery is low, a low-battery warning icon will pop-up on the
screen.
If the battery is extremely low, you may be unable to power on the phone
even when it is being charged. In this case, try again after charging the
phone for at least 10 minutes. Contact customer service if you still cannot
power on the phone after prolonged charging.

Warning! Use only ALCATEL-approved chargers and cables. The use of
unapproved accessories could damage your phone.
Attempting to remove the battery could result in injury and will void your
warranty.
Do not attempt to disassemble, damage, alter or remove battery from device.

Extending the battery life
Active applications, screen brightness levels, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi usage, and
GPS functionality can drain your battery. You can follow the helpful tips below
to conserve your battery power:
• Reduce the screen backlight time.
• Lower the screen brightness.
• Turn auto-sync, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth off when not in use.
• Disable the GPS function when not in use. Most applications using this
function will periodically query the GPS satellites for your current location;
each query drains your battery.

Powering your phone on/off
1. Insert the charger’s connector into the charging port. Be sure to insert the
connector in the correct orientation. Do not force the connector into the
port.
2. P
lug the charger into a standard AC wall outlet.

Make sure the micro-SIM card is in your phone and the battery is charged.

Warning! Encryption is irreversible. The only way to revert to an unencrypted
phone is to perform a factory data reset, which erases all your data.

FCC RF Exposure Information (SAR)

While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones
and at various positions, they all meet the government requirements.

This phone is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission
limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal
Communications Commission of the United States.

SAR compliance for body-worn operation is based on a separation distance
of 0.49 inches (15 mm) between the unit and the human body. Carry this
device at least 0.49 inches (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 0.49 inches (15 mm) between this
device and your body.

During SAR testing, this device was set to transmit at its highest certified
power level in all tested frequency bands, and placed in positions that
simulate RF exposure in usage against the head with no separation, and
near the body with the separation of 15 mm. Although the SAR is determined
at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the device while
operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the 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.

RF exposure compliance with any body-worn accessory, which contains
metal, was not tested and certified, and use such body-worn accessory
should be avoided.

The exposure standard for wireless devices employs a unit of measurement
known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is
1.6 W/kg.
Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions accepted by
the FCC with the device transmitting at its highest certified power level in all
tested frequency bands.
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: 2ACCJA009.
For this device, the highest reported SAR value for usage against the head is
1.46 W/kg, for usage near the body is 1.36 W/kg.

FCC compliance
This mobile phone complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is
subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause
harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
This mobile phone has been tested and found to comply with the limits for
a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits
are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference
in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate
radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with
the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off
and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or
more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to
which the receiver is connected.

Hearing Aid Compatibility (HAC) regulations for
mobile phones
In 2003, the FCC adopted rules to make digital wireless telephones
compatible with hearing aids and cochlear implants . Although analog
wireless phones do not usually cause interference with hearing aids or
cochlear implants, digital wireless phones sometimes do because of
electromagnetic energy emitted by the phone’s antenna, backlight, or
other components. Your phone is compliant with FCC HAC regulations (ANSI
C63.19- 2011). While some wireless phones are used near some hearing
devices (hearing aids and cochlear implants), users may detect a buzzing,
humming, or whining noise. Some hearing devices are more immune than
others to this interference noise and phones also vary in the amount of
interference they generate. The wireless telephone industry has developed
a rating system for wireless phones to assist hearing device users in finding
phones that may be compatible with their hearing devices. Not all phones
have been rated. Phones that are rated have the rating on their box or a
label located on the box. The ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary
depending on the user’s hearing device and hearing loss. If your hearing
device happens to be vulnerable to interference, you may not be able to use
a rated phone successfully. Trying out the phone with your hearing device is
the best way to evaluate it for your personal needs.

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Caution: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the user‘s authority to operate the
equipment.

101

This phone has been tested and rated for use with hearing aids for some of
the wireless technologies that it uses. However, there may be some newer
wireless technologies used in this phone that have not been tested yet for
use with hearing aids. It is important to try the different features of this phone
thoroughly and in different locations, using your hearing aid or cochlear
implant, to determine if you hear any interfering noise. Consult your service
provider or the manufacturer of this phone for more information on hearing
aid compatibility. If you have questions about return or exchange policies,
consult your service provider or phone retailer.
M-Ratings: Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements and are likely
to generate less interference to hearing devices than phones that are not
labeled. M4 is the better/higher of the two ratings.
T-Ratings: Phones rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to
be more usable with a hearing device’s telecoil (“T Switch” or “Telephone
Switch”) than unrated phones. T4 is the better/ higher of the two ratings.
(Note that not all hearing devices have telecoils in them.)
Your phone meets the M3/T3 level rating.
Hearing devices may also be rated. Your hearing device manufacturer
or hearing health professional may help you find this rating. For more
information about FCC Hearing Aid Compatibility, please go to

Distraction
Driving
Full attention must be given to driving at all times in order to reduce the risk
of an accident. Using a phone while driving (even with a hands-free kit) can
cause distraction and lead to an accident. You must comply with local laws
and regulations restricting the use of wireless devices while driving.

Operating machinery
Full attention must be given to operating the machinery in order to reduce
the risk of an accident.

Product handling
General statement on handling and use
You alone are responsible for how you use your phone and any
consequences of its use.
You must always power off your phone wherever the use of a phone is
prohibited. Use of your phone is subject to safety measures designed to
protect users and their environment.
• Always treat your phone and its accessories with care and keep it in a
clean and dust-free place.
• Do not expose your phone or its accessories to open flames or lit tobacco
products.
• Do not expose your phone or its accessories to liquid, moisture, or high
humidity.
104

• Do not drop, throw, or try to bend your phone or its accessories.
• Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or aerosols to clean the
device or its accessories.
• Do not paint your phone or its accessories.
• Do not attempt to disassemble your phone or its accessories. Only
authorized personnel can do so.
• Do not expose your phone or its accessories to extreme temperatures,
minimum 14°F and maximum 113°F (minimum –10°C and maximum +
45°C).
• Please check local regulations for disposal of electronic products.
• Do not carry your phone in your back pocket as it could break when you
sit down.

Small children
Do not leave your phone and its accessories within the reach of small
children or allow them to play with it. They could hurt themselves or others, or
could accidentally damage the phone.
Your phone contains small parts with sharp edges that may cause an injury
or may become detached and create a choking hazard.

Demagnetization
To avoid the risk of demagnetization, do not allow electronic devices or
magnetic media close to your phone for a long time.

Electrostatic discharge (ESD)
Do not touch the micro-SIM card’s metal connectors.
105

Antenna
Do not touch the antenna unnecessarily.

Normal use position
When placing or receiving a phone call, hold your phone to your ear, with
the bottom toward your mouth.

Air bags
Do not place a phone in the area over an air bag or in the air bag
deployment area as an airbag inflates with great force and serious injury
could result.

• Use the special features that are designed to minimize the times of
pressing buttons, such as Message Templates and Predictive Text.
• Take lots of breaks to stretch and relax.

Emergency calls
This phone, like any wireless phone, operates using radio signals, which
cannot guarantee connection in all conditions. Therefore, you must never rely
solely on any wireless phone for emergency communications.

Loud noise

Store the phone safely before driving your vehicle.

This phone is capable of producing loud noises, which may damage your
hearing. Turn down the volume before using headphones, Bluetooth stereo
headsets or other audio devices.

Seizures/blackouts

Phone heating

The phone can produce a bright or flashing light. A small percentage of
people may be susceptible to blackouts or seizures (even if they have never
had one before) when exposed to flashing lights or light patterns such as
when playing games or watching video. If you have experienced seizures
or blackouts or have a family history of such occurrences, please consult a
physician.

Your phone may become warm during charging and during normal use.

Repetitive strain injuries

Use only approved accessories.

To minimize the risk of Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI) when texting or playing
games with your phone:
• Do not grip the phone too tightly.

Electrical safety
Accessories
Do not connect with incompatible products or accessories.
Take care not to touch or allow metal objects, such as coins or key rings, to
contact or short-circuit in the battery terminals.

• Press the keys lightly.

107

Connection to a car

Hearing aids

Seek professional advice when connecting a phone interface to the vehicle
electrical system.

People with hearing aids or other cochlear implants may experience
interference noise when using wireless devices or when one is nearby.

Faulty and damaged products

The level of interference will depend on the type of hearing device and the
distance from the interference source, increasing the separation between
them may reduce the interference. You may also consult your hearing aid
manufacturer to discuss alternatives.

Do not attempt to disassemble the phone or its accessories.
Only qualified personnel can service or repair the phone or its accessories.
If your phone (or its accessories) has been submerged in water, punctured,
or subjected to a severe fall, do not use it until you have taken it to be
checked at an authorized service center.

Medical devices

Interference

Hospitals

General statement on interference
Care must be taken when using the phone in close proximity to personal
medical devices, such as pacemakers and hearing aids.

Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum separation of
6 inches (15 cm) be maintained between a mobile phone and a
pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. To achieve
this, use the phone on the opposite ear to your pacemaker and do not carry
it in a breast pocket.

108

Please consult your doctor and the device manufacturer to determine if
using your phone may interfere with the operation of your medical device.

Switch off your wireless device when requested to do so in hospitals, clinics,
or health care facilities. These requests are designed to prevent possible
interference with sensitive medical equipment.

Aircraft
Switch off your wireless device whenever you are instructed to do so by
airport or airline staff.
Consult the airline staff about the use of wireless devices on board the
aircraft. If your device offers a ‘flight mode’, this must be enabled prior to
boarding an aircraft.

109

Interference in cars
Please note that because of possible interference to electronic equipment,
some vehicle manufacturers forbid the use of mobile phones in their
vehicles unless a hands-free kit with an external antenna is included in the
installation.
