They should be usedfor this purpose only.The charger in this package shall ONLY be used with Alcatel OT-E221A/OT-E227A/OT-V270. The use on any other product or equipment including Alcatel products isstrictly prohibited.T&A Mobile Phones Limited cannot be held liable for any damages due to usecontrary to the above mentioned stipulation.Electrical characteristic of power supply (depending on the country):110 V charger (Used in Mexico / USA):Input: 100-127 V, 50/60 Hz, 0.30 AOutput: 4.5 V, 350 mA220 V charger:Input: 220-240 V, 50/60 Hz, 0.30 AOutput: 4.5 V, 350 mABattery: Lithium 650 mAh• RADIO WAVES:THIS CELLPHONE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT’S REQUIREMENTS FOREXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.Your cellphone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufacturednot to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio-frequency (RF) energy.Theselimits are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RFenergy for the general population.The guidelines are based on standards that weredeveloped by independent scientific organizations through periodic and thoroughevaluation of scientific studies. These guidelines include a substantial safety margindesigned to ensure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.The exposure standard for cellphones employs a unit of measurement known as theSpecific Absorption Rate, or SAR.The SAR limit set by public authorities such as theFederal Communications Commission of the US Government (FCC) or by IndustryCanada, is 1.6 W/kg averaged over 1 gram of body tissue. Tests for SAR areconducted using standard operating positions with the cellphone transmitting at itshighest certified power level in all tested frequency bands.Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SARlevel of the cellphone while operating can be well below the maximum value.This isbecause the cellphone is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to useonly the power required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to awireless base station antenna, the lower the power output of the cellphone. Beforea cellphone model is available for sale to the public, compliance with nationalregulations 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 dialed 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 0.89 W/kg for use at the earand 0.66 W/kg for use close to the body.While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various cellphones and atvarious positions, they all meet the government requirement for RF exposure. Forbody-worn operation, the cellphone meets FCC RF exposure guidelines providedthat it is used with a non-metallic accessory with the handset at least 2 cm from thebody. Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposureguidelines.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 or theirchildren's RF exposure by limiting the length of calls,or using "hands-free" devices tokeep cellphones away from the head and body (fact sheet n°193).Additional WHOinformation 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 shouldavoid touching it or degrading it.General information ............•Website: www.alcatel-mobilephones.com•Hot Line Number: see the “T&A Mobile Phones Services” leafletor go to our Internet site.On our Internet site, you will find our FAQ (Frequently AskedQuestions) section.
