• 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.
My cellphone does not charge properly
•Make sure that your battery is not completely discharged; the
battery charge indicator can take several minutes and may be
accompanied 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 before
plugging in the charger
•Make sure you are using an Alcatel battery and charger
•When abroad, check that the electrical current is compatible
•NOTICE: Your cellphone is not designed for chargers connected
through USB cable to a computer. Please use dedicated charger to
charge your cellphone.
My cellphone 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 overloaded
SIM card error
•Make sure the SIM card was correctly inserted
•Verify with your operator that your SIM card is 3V compatible; the
old 5V SIM cards cannot be used
•Make sure the chip on your SIM card is not damaged or scratched
Unable 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 and
area codes
•Make sure your cellphone is connected to a network, and that the
network is not overloaded or unavailable
•Check your subscription with your operator (credit, SIM card valid,
etc.)
•Make sure you have not barred outgoing calls
The highest SAR value for this cellphone when tested is:
OT-S120A: 1.26 W/kg for use at the ear and 0.74 W/kg for use close to the body
OT-S121A: XXX W/kg for use at the ear and XXX W/kg for use close to the body
OT-S210A: 1.27 W/kg for use at the ear and 0.97 W/kg for use close to the body.
OT-S211A: 1.32 W/kg for use at the ear and 0.87 W/kg for use close to the body.
OT-V212A: XXX W/kg for use at the ear and XXX W/kg for use close to the body.
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 2.0 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.
This device complies with Part 15 of FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following
two conditions:
1) this device may not cause harmful interference and,
2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a
Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules.These limits are designed
to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential
installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy
and, if not in-stalled and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause
harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by
