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 cellphone 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 cellphone when the vehicle is not parked.
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 car’s electronic devices are shielded from cellphone RF
energy.
•CONDITIONS OF USE:
You are advised to switch off the telephone from time to time to optimize its 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. 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” option because the amplified volume might cause hearing damage.
Do not let small children use your cellphone 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 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. 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 Accessories List, page
102). T&A Mobile Phones Limited 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.
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.
•PRIVACY:
Please note that you must respect the laws and regulations in force in your country regarding taking photographs and
recording sounds using your cellphone. 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
cellphone (including the operator) disclaim any liability which may result from the improper use of the cellphone.
This symbol means that your phone, the battery and the accessories must be taken to collection points at the end of their life:
- Municipal waste disposal centres with specific bins for these items
- Collection bins at points of sale.
They will then be recycled, preventing substances being disposed of in the environment.
In European Union countries:
These collection points are accessible free of charge.
All products with this sign must be brought to these collection points.
In non European Union countries:
Items of equipment with this symbol are not to be thrown into ordinary bins if your country or your region has suitable recycling and
collection facilities. They are to be taken to collection points for them to be recycled.

•BATTERY:
Before removing the battery from your phone, please make sure that the phone is switched off.
Observe the following precautions for battery use:
- Do not attempt to open the battery (due to the risk of toxic fumes and burns).
- Do not puncture, disassemble or cause a short-circuit in a battery,
- Do not burn or dispose of a used battery in the garbage or store it at temperatures above 60 °C.
Batteries must be disposed of in accordance with locally applicable environmental regulations. Only use the battery for the purpose for
which it was designed. Never use damaged batteries or those not recommended by T&A Mobile Phones Limited and/or its affiliates.
•CHARGERS:
Mains powered chargers will operate within the temperature range of: 0°C to 40°C.
The chargers designed for your cellphone meet with the standard for safety of information technology equipment and office equipment
use. They should be used for this purpose only.
Characteristics of power supply (depending on the country):
110 V charger (used in Mexico): 220 V charger:
Input: 100-127 V, 50/60 Hz, 0.30 A Input: 220-240 V, 50/60 Hz, 0.30 A
Output: 4.5 V, 350 mA Output: 4.5 V, 350 mA
Travel charger: Battery: Lithium 650 mAh
Input: 100-240 V, 50/60 Hz, 0.15 A
Output: 6.5 V, 350 mA
•RADIO WAVES:
THIS CELLPHONE 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 cellphone 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 cellphone while operating can be well
below the maximum value. This is because the cellphone 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
cellphone Before a cellphone model is available for sale to the public, compliance with national regulations and standards must be
shown.

CE5ELLE_UM_USA_28-10-05 28/10/05 14:18 Page 7
8
The highest SAR value for this model cellphone when tested for use at the ear is 1.19 W/Kg and for use close to the body is 1.38
W/Kg. 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 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 (see page 17).

8IM/Chat (Instant Messaging) (1) ......
Instant Messaging (IM, also called “Chat”) is one of the most popular services on the Internet after e-mails.
The presence feature allows users to check when their friends are online and communicate with them in near
real-time.
You can now “chat” with your mobile phone.
8.1 Presence
IM enables a user to see the connection status or presence of other users.
The presence includes a combination of network status information (online or offline) and user specified
status information (available or busy).
An important privacy protection feature of Instant Messaging is the ability to block another user at any time.
Blocked users cannot see your presence neither send you unsolicited IM (SPIM: the word for IM spam).
In one glance you can know the presence of your friends thanks to the IM buddy list: it is the list of contacts
with whom you may chat.You can manage your IM buddy list: add a new contact (using a mobile phone
number or the messenger ID), or search for a contact.
IM buddy list and directory: You can link your IM buddy list and your directory, meaning that you can place
a call from the IM application, or send an IM from a contact in the directory. There is a specific IM field in
the directory.
45
(1) Depending on service availability.
CE5ELLE_UM_USA_28-10-05 28/10/05 14:19 Page 45
8.2 Always on
Mobile IM works the same way as on a PC: you can still receive IM messages, even if the IM application is
not on the screen. An IM icon in the status bar shows you whether IM is on or off. The icon shows:
•if you are online and available,
•if you are online and busy,
•if there are unread IM
No icon means that you are not connected.
8.3 Send an IM (Instant Message)
If an IM buddy list (list of contacts for IM) has already been created, you can send an IM and start a chat
simply by pressing or selecting a “buddy”.
You can also send an IM from your directory by going to “Directory/Writemessage/IM”.
Depending on your operator, you may use the same IM buddy list as on your PC
1. See if your contacts are present
2. Start the IM chat, with the online buddy.

8.4 Receiving and reading IM
When you receive a new IM notification (a new IM, an information message…),
