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 cellphone from time to time to optimize its performance.
Switch the cellphone off before boarding an aircraft to avoid prosecution.
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).
7 8
Over 55°C the legibility of the cellphone’s display may be impaired, though this is temporary and not serious.
Do not open or attempt to repair your cellphone yourself.
Do not drop, throw or try to bend your cellphone.
Do not paint it.

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.

• 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 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 0.69 W/Kg for use at the ear and
0.95 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.
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 installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference to
radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
