Emergency call numbers may not be reachable on all cellular networks. You should never rely only

on your phone for emergency calls.

Do not open, dismantle or attempt to repair your mobile phone yourself.

Do not drop, throw or try to bend your cellphone.

Do not paint it.

Use only batteries, battery chargers, and accessories which are recommended by T & A Mobile

Phones Limited and its affiliates and are compatible with your phone model (see Accessories List

page 81). T&A Mobile Phones Limited and its affiliates disclaim any liability for damage caused by

the use of other chargers or batteries.

Your phone should not be disposed of in a municipal waste. 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 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 well lit room.

- Play at the farthest distance possible from the screen.

- 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.

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 the instructions to avoid problems such

as tendonitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, or other musculoskeletal disorders.

Prolonged exposure to music at full volume on the music player may damage the listener's

hearing.

Set your phone volume safely. Use only headphones recommended by T & A Mobile Phones Limited

and its affiliates.

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:

Recent studies 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.

Check the laws and regulations on the use of wireless telephones 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. Do not use your phone's stereo or music feature with a headphone. Using a

headphone can be dangerous and forbidden in some areas.

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.

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, press to answer the call before holding your cellphone 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 (the max value depends on product ie. housing or

paint).Over 55°C the legibility of the phone’s display may be impaired, though this is temporary and

not serious.

Characteristics of power supply (depending on the country):

110 V charger (used in Mexico / USA):

Input: 100-240 V, 50/60 Hz, 0.15 A

Output: 5 V, 400 mA

220 V charger:

Input: 220-240 V, 50/60 Hz, 0.15 A

Output: 5 V, 400 mA

Battery: Lithium 3.7V/750mAh

•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), 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.

The highest SAR value for this model cellphone when tested for use at the ear is

OT-C701A: 0.83 W/Kg and for use close to the body is 1.07 W/Kg (distance 2 cm)

OT-C717A: 0.86 W/Kg and for use close to the body is 1.05 W/Kg (distance 1.5 cm)

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.

•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 telephone. 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.

•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.

This symbol on your telephone, the battery and the accessories means that these

products must be taken to collection points at the end of their life:

- Municipal waste disposal centers with specific bins for these items of equipment

- Collection bins at points of sale.

They will then be recycled, preventing substances being disposed of in the environment, so that

their components can be reused.

In European Union countries:

These collection points are accessible free of charge.All products with this sign must be brought

to these collection points.

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

number or the messenger ID), or search for a contact.

•if you are online and available,

•if you are online and busy,

•if there are unread IM
