your mobile 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. Check the laws
and regulations on the use of wireless mobile phones and their
accessories in the areas where you drive. Always obey them. The
use of these devices may be prohibited or restricted in certain areas.
When driving, do not use your mobile 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 mobile phone emits electromagnetic waves
34 35
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 mobile 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 car’s electronic devices are shielded from mobile phone
RF energy.
• CONDITIONS OF USE:
You are advised to switch off the mobile phone from time to time to
optimize its performance.
Remember to abide by local authority rules of mobile phone use
on aircrafts.

the following safety precautions:
- Play at the farthest distance possible from the screen.
When you play games on your mobile phone, you may experience
occasional discomfort in your hands, arms, shoulders, neck, or other
parts of your body. Follow these instructions to avoid problems such as
tendinitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, or other musculoskeletal disorders:
- Take a minimum of a 15-minute break every hour of game playing.
36 37
- 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.
PROTECT YOUR HEARING
To prevent possible hearing damage, do not listen at high
volume levels for long periods. Exercise caution when
holding your device near your ear while the loudspeaker
is in use.
• 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 phone. 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
reproduce 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 authorization
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.

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):
Travel charger: Input: 100-240 V, 50/60 Hz, 200 mA
Output: 5 V, 1000 mA
Battery: Lithium 2500 mAh
• RADIO WAVES:
THIS MOBILE PHONE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT’S REQUIREMENTS
FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.
Your mobile phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed
and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to
radio-frequency (RF) energy. These limits are part of comprehensive
guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the
general population. The guidelines are based on standards that were
developed by independent scientific organizations through periodic
and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. These guidelines include
a substantial safety margin designed to ensure the safety of all
persons, regardless of age and health.
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
Communication Commission of the US Government (FCC), or by
Industry 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.
38 39
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.
The highest SAR value for this model mobile phone when tested is
0.62 W/kg for use at the ear and 1.15 W/kg for use close to the body.
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of
various cellphones and at various positions, they all meet the
government requirement for RF exposure. For body-worn
operation, the cellphone meets FCC RF exposure guidelines
provided that it is used with a non-metallic accessory with the
handset at least 15 mm from the body. Use of other accessories
may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines.
Additional information on SAR can be found on the Cellular
Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA) Web site:
http://www.phonefacts.net
The World Health Organization (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 WHO information about electromagnetic
fields and public health are available on the following website:
http://www.who.int/peh-emf.
Note: This equipment 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 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.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate
the equipment.
For the receiver devices associated with the operation of a licensed
radio service (e.g. FM broadcast), they bear the following statement:
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is
subject to the condition that this device does not cause harmful
interference.
For other devices, they bear the following statement:
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is
subject to the following two conditions:
(1) this device may not cause harmful interference.
(2) this device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation.
Your mobile phone 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
mobile phone at least 10 mm away from the body.
