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 cellphones
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.

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.
Remember to abide by local authority rules of cellphone use on aircrafts.
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.
any nature whatsoever, including but not limited to commercial

Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental
or consequential damages, or limitation of the duration of implied
warranties, so the preceding limitations or exclusions may not
apply to you.

• CHARGERS
Home A.C./ Travel chargers will operate within the temperature range of: 0°C
(32°F) to 40°C (104°F).
The chargers designed for your cellphone meet with the standard for safety
of information technology equipment and office equipment use. Due to
different applicable electrical specifications, a charger you purchased in one
jurisdiction may not work in another jurisdiction. They should be used for
this purpose only.
Characteristics of power supply (depending on the country):
Travel charger: Input: 100-240 V, 50/60 Hz, 0.15 A
Output: 5 V, 400/550 mA
Battery: Lithium 1000 mAh
• 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,
Prolonged exposure to music at full volume on the music player
may damage the listener's hearing. Set your cellphone volume
safely. Use only headphones recommended by TCT Mobile
Limited and its affiliates.

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 0.915 W/Kg
for use at the ear and 0.956 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.

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:
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to
which the receiver is connected.
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/ TV technician for help.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible
for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
For the receiver devices associated with the operation of a licensed radio
service (e.g. FM broadcast), they bear the following statement:
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to
the condition that this device does not cause harmful interference.
For other devices, they bear the following statement:
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to
the following two conditions:
(1) this device may not cause harmful interference
(2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference
that may cause undesired operation.
Your cellphone is equipped with a built-in antenna. For optimal operation,
you should avoid touching it or degrading it.
