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 1.1 W/Kg for
use at the ear and 0.893 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.
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.

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:
- 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.

• 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 850 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
Read and follow the directions from the manufacturer of your implantable
medical device. If you have any questions about using your mobile device with
your implantable medical device, consult your healthcare provider.
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.
It is recommended to have proper supervision while small children use your cellphone.
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 (14°F) to +55°C (131°F) (the max value depends on device, materials
and housing paint/texture).
Over 55°C (131°F) 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 only batteries, battery chargers, and accessories which are recommended
by TCT Mobile Limited and its affiliates and are compatible with your cellphone
model.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:
- 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:

on the packaging label and in the product’s memory. We recommend
that you note the number the first time you use your cellphone by
entering *#06# and keep it in a safe place. It may be requested by the
police or your operator if your cellphone is stolen.

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 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.
• 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.
Operational Warnings: Obey all posted signs when using mobile devices in
public areas.
Follow Instructions to Avoid Interference Problems: Turn off your mobile
device in any location where posted notices instruct you to do so. In an aircraft,
turn off your mobile device whenever instructed to do so by airline staff. If
your mobile device offers an airplane mode or similar feature, consult airline
staff about using it in flight.
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.
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
