• 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...),

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.
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.

• 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, 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.
Unable to receive incoming calls
• Make sure your cellphone is switched on and connected to a
network (check for overloaded or unavailable network)
• Check your subscription status with your operator (credit, SIM
card valid, etc.)
• Make sure you have not forwarded incoming calls
• Make sure that you have not barred certain calls
The caller’s name does not appear when a call is
received
• Check that you have subscribed to this service with your
operator
• Your caller has concealed his/her number
The sound quality of the calls is not optimal
• You can adjust the volume during a call by means of the
key
• Check the network strength
I am unable to use the features described in the manual
• Check with your operator to make sure that your subscription
includes this service
• Make sure this feature does not require an Alcatel accessory
When I select a number from my contacts, the number
is not dialled
• Make sure that you have correctly recorded the number in
your file
• Make sure that you have selected the country prefix when
calling a foreign country
I am unable add a contact in my contacts
• Make sure that your SIM card contacts is not full; delete some
files or save the files in the cellphone contacts (i.e. your
professional or personal contacts)
The highest SAR value for this model cellphone when tested is 1.19 W/Kg
(one touch 901A/one touch 900A), 1.07 W/Kg (one touch 901S) for use at
the ear and 0.664 W/Kg (one touch 901A/one touch 900A), 0.758 W/kg
(one touch 901S) 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.
Additional information on SAR can be found on the Cellular
Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA) Web site: http://www.
phonefacts.net
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.
