Do not paint it.

Use only batteries, battery chargers, and accessories which are recommended by TCT Mobile

Limited and its affiliates and are compatible with your cellphone model (see Accessories List page

77).TCT Mobile Limited and its affiliates disclaim any liability for damage caused by the use of other

chargers or batteries.

Your cellphone 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 cellphone.

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 cellphone or

enabling a flashing-lights feature on your cellphone. Parents should monitor their children’s use of

video games or other features that incorporate flashing lights on the cellphones.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.

- Play in a well lit environment.

- Play at the farthest distance possible from the screen.

When you play games on your cellphone, you may experience occasional discomfort in your hands,

arms, shoulders, neck, or other parts of your body. Follow these instructions to avoid problems

such as tendinitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, or other musculoskeletal disorders:

- 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.

Prolonged exposure to music at full volume when listening to music may cause hearing

impairment. Adjust the volume before placing headphones on or in your ear. Only use

headphones recommended by TCT Mobile Limited and its affiliates.

•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 cellphone regarding taking photographs and recording

sounds with your cellphone. 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.

Safety and use ............................

We recommend that you read this chapter carefully before using your cellphone.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:

Given that studies show that using a cellphone while driving a vehicle constitutes a real risk, even

when the hands-free kit is used (car kit, 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.

When driving, do not use your cellphone and headphone to listen to music or to the radio. Using

a headphone can be dangerous and forbidden in some areas.

When switched on, your cellphone 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 cellphone 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 cellphone off before boarding an aircraft.

Switch the cellphone 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 cellphone 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 cellphone 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 cellphone you should

hold it against the ear on the opposite side to the device, if any.

To avoid hearing impairment, 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 cellphone may contain substances that could

create an allergic reaction.

Always handle your cellphone with care and keep it in a clean and dust-free place.

Do not allow your cellphone 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 device, materials and

housing paint/texture). Over 55°C the legibility of the cellphone’s display may be impaired, though

this is temporary and not serious.

•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 is

OT-S626A : 1.03 W/Kg for use at the ear and 1.13 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 1.5 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.

•BATTERY:

Before removing the battery from your cellphone, please make sure that the cellphone 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 TCT Mobile Limited and/or its affiliates.
