Safety and use .......................
We recommend that you read this chapter carefully before using your

to the instructions contained herein.
• TRAFFIC SAFETY:
Given that studies show that using a mobile phone 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
mobile phone when the vehicle is not parked. Check the laws and
regulations on the use of wireless mobile phones 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 mobile phone 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 mobile phone 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 mobile phone 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 mobile phone RF
energy.
• CONDITIONS OF USE:
You are advised to switch off the mobile phone from time to time to
optimize its performance.
Remember to abide by local authority rules of mobile phone 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 mobile phone off when you are in health care facilities, except
in designated areas. As with many other types of equipment now in regular
use, mobile phones can interfere with other electrical or electronic devices,
or equipment using radio frequency.

Troubleshooting ...............
Before contacting the service center, you are advised to follow the
instructions below:
You are advised to fully charge ( • ) the battery for optimal
operation.
Avoid storing large amounts of data in your phone as this may affect •
its performance.
Use User Data Format and the one touch Upgrade tool to perform •
phone formatting or software upgrading, (to reset User Data
format, hold down # while simultaneously pressing the power on/
off key). ALL User phone data: contacts, photos, messages and files,
downloaded applications like Java games will be lost permanently. It
is strongly advised to fully backup the phone data and profile via PC
suite before doing formatting and upgrading.
and carry out the following checks:
My phone is frozen or cannot switch on
Check the battery contacts, remove and reinstall your battery, then •
turn your phone on
Check the battery power level, charge for at least 20 minutes•
If it still does not work, please use User Data Format to reset •
the phone
My phone has not responded for several minutes
Restart your phone by pressing and holding the • key
Remove the battery and re-insert it, then restart the phone•
My phone turns off by itself
Check whether your phone is locked when not in use, and make sure •
you don't accidentally turn off your phone when locking it by pressing
the power key.
Check the battery charge level•
My phone cannot charge properly
Make sure you are using an Alcatel battery and the charger from •
the box
Make sure your battery is inserted properly and clean the battery •
contact if it’s dirty. It must be inserted before plugging in the
charger
Make sure that your battery is not completely discharged; if the •
battery power is empty for a long time, it may take around 20
minutes to display the battery charger indicator on the screen.
• 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.com

• 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 1.19
W/Kg (one touch 870A), 1.15 W/Kg (one touch 871S) for use at the
ear and 1.03 W/Kg (one touch 870A), 1.09 W/Kg (one touch 871S)
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 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://

The 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.
