Strictly obey all signs andinstructions posted in a fuel depot, gas station, or chemical plant, or in any potentially explosiveatmosphere.When the phone is switched on, it should be kept at least 15 cm from any medical device such asa pacemaker, a hearing aid or insulin pump. When using the phone you should hold it against theear 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 thehandset away from your ear while using the “hands-free” option because the amplified volumemight 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 createan allergic reaction.Always handle your phone with care and keep it in a clean and dust-free place.410.

You can also contact us by e-mail to ask any questions you mayhave.Your telephone is a transceiver that operates on GSM networks with 850and 1900 MHz bands.The marking indicates that your telephone complies with "1999/5/EC(R&TTE)" directive and that the accessories concerned comply withcurrent EC directives. The entire copy of the Declaration of Conformityfor your telephone can be obtained through our website:www.tctmobile.com.8®T9 Text Input is licensed under one or more of thefollowing: U.S. Pat.

It is designed and manufactured not to exceedthe emission limits for exposure to radio-frequency (RF) energy. These limits are part ofcomprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population.The guidelines are based on standards that were developed by independent scientific organizationsthrough periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies.These guidelines include a substantialsafety 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 SpecificAbsorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by public authorities such as the FederalCommunications Commission of the US Government (FCC), the Australian CommunicationsAuthority (ACA) or by Industry Canada, is 1.6 W/kg averaged over 1 gram of body tissue.Tests forSAR are conducted using standard operating positions with the phone transmitting at its highestcertified power level in all tested frequency bands.Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of thephone while operating can be well below the maximum value.This is because the phone is designedto operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the power required to reach the network. Ingeneral, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output of thephone. Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, compliance with national regulationsand standards must be shown.The highest SAR value for this model phone when tested is 1.4 W /kg for use at the ear and 1.4W/kg for use close to the body.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 phonemeets FCC RF exposure guidelines provided that it is used with a non-metallic accessory with thehandset at least 1.5 cm from the body. Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance withFCC RF exposure guidelines.The World Health Organization (WHO) considers that present scientific information does notindicate the need for any special precautions for use of cellphones. If individuals are concerned, theymight choose to limit their own or their children's RF exposure by limiting the length of calls, orusing "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 thefollowing website: http://www.who.int/peh-emf.Your telephone is equipped with a built-in antenna. For optimal operation, you should avoidtouching it or degrading it.7CVLE6CRYSTAL_UM_US-09-11-06 9/11/06 9:24 Page 7
