It is designed and manufacturednot to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio-frequency (RF) energy.These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels ofRF energy for the general population.The guidelines are based on standards thatwere developed by independent scientific organizations through periodic andthorough evaluation of scientific studies. These guidelines include a substantialsafety margin designed to ensure the safety of all persons, regardless of age andhealth.The exposure standard for cellphones employs a unit of measurement known asthe Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR.The SAR limit set by public authorities suchas the Federal Communications Commission of the US Government (FCC) or byIndustry Canada, is 1.6 W/kg averaged over 1 gram of body tissue. Tests for SARare conducted using standard operating positions with the cellphone transmittingat its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands.Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actualSAR 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 soas to use only the power required to reach the network. In general, the closer youare to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output of thecellphone. Before a cellphone model is available for sale to the public, compliancewith national regulations and standards must be shown.My mobile phone does not charge properly•Make sure that your battery is not completely discharged; thebattery charge indicator can take several minutes and may beaccompanied by a quiet hissing sound.•Make sure charging is carried out under normal conditions (0°C+40°C)•Make sure your battery is inserted. It must be inserted beforeplugging in the charger•Make sure you are using an Alcatel battery and charger•When abroad, check that the electrical current is compatibleMy mobile phone does not connect to a network•Try connecting in another location•Verify the network coverage with your operator•Check with your operator that your SIM card is valid•Try selecting the available network(s) manually•Try connecting at a later time if the network is overloadedSIM card error•Make sure the SIM card was correctly inserted•Verify with your operator that your SIM card is 3V compatible; theold 5V SIM cards cannot be used•Make sure the chip on your SIM card is not damaged or scratchedUnable to make outgoing calls•Make sure you have dialled a valid number and pressed the key•For international calls, make sure you have entered the country andarea codes•Make sure your mobile phone is connected to a network, and thatthe network is not overloaded or unavailable•Check your subscription with your operator (credit, SIM card valid,etc.)•Make sure you have not barred outgoing callsThe highest SAR value for this cellphone when tested is:OT-E101A: 1.24 W/kg for use at the ear and 0.62 W/kg for use close to the body.OT-E201A: 1.49 W/kg for use at the ear and 0.61 W/kg for use close to the bodyOT-E207A: 1.1 W/kg for use at the ear and 0.57 W/kg for use close to the bodyNOTE:This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for aClass A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits aredesigned to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when theequipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates,uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used inaccordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radiocommunications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to causeharmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct theinterference at his own expense.While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various cellphones andat various positions, they all meet the government requirement for RF exposure.For body-worn operation, the cellphone meets FCC RF exposure guidelinesprovided that it is used with a non-metallic accessory with the handset at least 2cm from the body. Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with FCCRF exposure guidelines.The World Health Organization (WHO) considers that present scientificinformation does not indicate the need for any special precautions for use ofcellphones. If individuals are concerned, they might choose to limit their own ortheir 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 areavailable on the following website: http://www.who.int/peh-emf.Your telephone is equipped with a built-in antenna. For optimal operation, youshould avoid touching it or degrading it.General information ................•Website: www.tctmobile.com•Hot Line Number: see the “TCL & Alcatel Mobile PhonesServices” leaflet or go to our Internet site.On our Internet site, you will find our FAQ (Frequently AskedQuestions) section.
