Prolonged exposure to music at full volume using the music player may damage your hearing. Set your mobile phone’s volume to it’s lowest setting prior to inserting headphones in your ears and adjust the volume to your preference. Only use headphones that are recommended by TCT Mobile Limited and it’s 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 mobile phone regarding taking photographs and recording sounds with your mobile phone. 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 mobile phone (including the operator) disclaim any liability which may result from the improper use of the mobile phone.• BATTERY AND ACCESSORIES:Before removing the battery from your mobile phone, please make sure that the mobile phone 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 (140°F). 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. This symbol on your mobile phone, the battery and the accessories means that these products must be taken to collection points at the end of their life: - Municipal waste disposal centers with specific bins for these items of equipment - Collection bins at points of sale.They will then be recycled, preventing substances being disposed of in the environment, so that their components can be reused.In European Union countries:These collection points are accessible free of charge. All products with this sign must be brought to these collection points.In non European Union jurisdictions:Items of equipment with this symbol are not be thrown into ordinary bins if your jurisdiction or your region has suitable recycling and collection facilities; instead they are to be taken to collection points for them to be recycled.In the United States you may learn more about CTIA’s Recycling Program at www.recyclewirelessphones.comCAUTION: RISK OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS REPLACED BY AN INCORRECT TYPE. DISPOSE OF USED BATTERIES ACCORDING TO THE INSTRUCTIONS• CHARGERSHome 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 mobile phone 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.IP4081_918A_QG_Eng_USA_05_1201010.indd 30-31IP4081_918A_QG_Eng_USA_05_1201010.indd 30-31 2012-1-10 15:08:152012-1-10 15:08:15

32 33Characteristics of power supply (depending on the country):Travel charger: Input: 100-240 V, 50/60 Hz, 0.15 A Output: 5 V, 550/1000 mA Battery: Lithium 1300 mAh• RADIO WAVES:THIS MOBILE PHONE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT’S REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.Your mobile phone 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 mobile phones 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 mobile phone 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 mobile phone while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the mobile phone 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 mobile phone. Before a mobile phone model is available for sale to the public, compliance with national regulations and standards must be shown.The highest SAR value for this model mobile phone when tested is XX W/Kg for use at the ear and XX W/Kg for use close to the body. While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various mobile phones and at various positions, they all meet the government requirement for RF exposure. For body-worn operation, the mobile phone meets FCC RF exposure guidelines provided that it is used with a non-metallic accessory with the handset at least 10 mm 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.netThe World Health Organization (WHO) considers that present scientific information does not indicate the need for any special precautions for use of mobile phones. 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 mobile phones 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:- 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 mobile phone is equipped with a built-in antenna. For optimal operation, you should avoid touching it or degrading it.IP4081_918A_QG_Eng_USA_05_1201010.indd 32-33IP4081_918A_QG_Eng_USA_05_1201010.indd 32-33 2012-1-10 15:08:152012-1-10 15:08:15
