Getting started
Phone setup
Installing the nano-SIM card
You must insert your SIM card to make phone calls. You do not need to
power off your phone before inserting or removing the SIM card as this
phone supports hot swap.
1. Remove the back cover
2. Insert the SIM card and microSD card
3. Make sure they are correctly inserted
WARNING: To avoid damage to the phone, use only a standard nano-SIM
card from your service provider.
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.
8 9
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.
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. Plug the charger into a standard AC wall outlet.
3. When the battery is fully charged, unplug the charger and disconnect it
from the phone.
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 the battery from the
device.
Extending the battery life
Active applications, screen brightness levels, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi usage,

• 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.

FCC 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 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: 2ACCJH072.
For this device, the highest reported SAR value for usage against the head is
0.63 W/kg, for usage near the body is 1.40 W/kg.
96 97
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.
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.
• 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.
98 99
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 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 M4/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

aircraft. If your device offers a ‘flight mode’, this must be enabled prior to
boarding an aircraft.
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.
Explosive environments
Gas stations and explosive atmospheres
In locations with potentially explosive atmospheres, obey all posted signs to
turn off wireless devices such as your phone or other radio equipment.
Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres include fueling areas, below
decks on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities, and areas
where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal
powders.
