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 in this manual.
• TRAFFIC SAFETY:
Given that studies, which show that using a cellphone while driving a vehicle constitutes a real risk,
even when the hands-free kit is used (headset...), drivers are requested to refrain from using their
cellphone when the vehicle is not parked
When switched on, your cellphone 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 dealer or car manufacturer to make sure that the car’s electronics devices are
well shielded.
• CONDITIONS OF USE:
Your are advised to switch off your cellphone from time to time to optmise performance.
Switch the phone off before boarding an aircraft to avoid prosecution.
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, cellphones 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, gas 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. 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” option because the amplified volume
might cause hearing damage.
Do not let small children use the phone 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 unfavourable environmental conditions (moisture,
humidity, rain, infiltration of liquids, dust, sea air, etc). The manufacturer’s recommended operating
temperature range is -20°C to +55°C.Over 55°C the legibility of the phone’s display may be
impaired, though this is temporary and not serious.
Do not open or attempt to repair your cellphone yourself.
Do not drop, throw or try to bend your cellphone.
Do not paint it.
Use only Alcatel batteries, battery chargers, and accessories that are compatible with your phone
model (see page 55).TCL & Alcatel Mobile Phones Limited or its affiliates disclaim any liability for
damage caused by the use of other batteries.
Your phone should not be disposed of in a municipal dump. Please check local regulations for
disposal of electronic products.
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 videos 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.
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 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.
- 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.

• RADIO WAVES:
THIS MOBILE PHONE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT’S REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO
RADIO WAVES.
Your cellphone 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 cellphones employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific
Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by public authorities such as the Federal
Communications Commission of the US Government (FCC), the Australian Communications
Authority (ACA) 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 phone transmitting at its highest
certified power level in all tested frequency bands.
Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the
phone 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 of the
phone. Before a 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 phone when tested for use at the ear is 1.11 W/Kg for OTE157a, 0.958 W/Kg for OT-E158a, 0.969 W/Kg for OT-E252a and for use close to the body is 0.64
W/Kg for OT-E157a, 1.23 W/Kg for OT-E158a, 1.07 W/Kg for OT-E252a. While there may be
differences between the SAR levels of various phones and at various positions, they all meet the
government requirement for RF exposure. For body-worn operation, the phone meets FCC RF
exposure guidelines provided that it is used with a non-metallic accessory with the handset at least
1,5 cm from the body. Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure
guidelines.
The World Health Organization (WHO) considers that present scientific information does not
indicate the need for any special precautions for use of cellphones. 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 cellphones 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.
Your telephone is equipped with a built-in antenna. For optimal operation, you should avoid
touching it or degrading it.

Your cellphone has an identification number called IMEI (phone serial
number) shown on the packaging label and in the product’s memory. We
recommend that you note this number the first time you use your
telephone by entering *, #, 0, 6, # and keep it in a safe place. It may be
requested by the police or your operator if your telephone is stolen.This
number allows your cellphone to be blocked, preventing a third person
from using it, even with a different SIM card.
