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

CAUTION: RISK OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS REPLACED
BY AN INCORRECT TYPE. DISPOSE OF USED BATTERIES
ACCORDING TO THE INSTRUCTIONS
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 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.
Characteristics of power supply (depending on the country):
Travel charger: Input: 100-240 V, 50/60 Hz, 100/150 mA
Output: 5 V, 200/350 mA
Battery: Lithium 400/500 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.
IP4572_ALCATEL 1009A_QG_Eng_USA_04_140120.indd 17-18IP4572_ALCATEL 1009A_QG_Eng_USA_04_140120.indd 17-18 2014-1-20 15:09:232014-1-20 15:09:23
19 20
The highest SAR value for this model mobile phone when tested is
1.36 W/Kg for use at the ear and 1.07 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 which positions the mobile
phone at least 1.0 cm away 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.ctia.org/
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.
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.
As mobile devices offer a range of functions, they can be used
in positions other than against your ear. In such circumstances
the device will be compliant with the guidelines when used with
headset or usb data cable. If you are using another accessory
ensure that whatever product is used is free of any metal and
that it positions the mobile phone at least 1.0 cm away from
the body.
