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.
29 30
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 use the phone if the glass made screen, is damaged, cracked or
broken to avoid any injury.
Do not paint it.

compatible with your phone model. TCL Communication Ltd. 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.

THIS DEVICE MEETS INTERNATIONAL GUIDELINES FOR EXPOSURE
TO RADIO WAVES
Your mobile device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed
not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio waves (radio frequency
electromagnetic fields) recommended by international guidelines. The
guidelines were developed by an independent scientific organization
(ICNIRP) and include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the
safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The radio wave exposure guidelines use a unit of measurement known
as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit for mobile
devices is
FCC Regulations:
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 radiated 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.
-Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
FCC Note:
Caution: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could
void the user‘s authority to operate the equipment.
RF Exposure Information (SAR)
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.
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 10 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.
The exposure standard for wireless devices employing a unit of measurement is known as the Specific
Absorption Rate, or SAR.
The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg.
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. This device has been tested and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines when
tested with the device directly contacted to the body.
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: 2ACCJB017.
For this device, the highest reported SAR value for usage against the head is 1.13 W/kg, for usage near
the body is 0.88 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 10 mm between the unit
and the human body. Carry this device at least 10 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 10 mm between this
device and your body.
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.
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.
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 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.
Your phone meets the M4 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 http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/dro.
