CARING FOR YOUR PHONE
Make it last
Your phone is a complex electronic device; think of
it as a mini-computer. Here are a few tips to help you
extend the life of your new phone.
Do not get your phone wet. Even a small amount of
moisture can damage your phone and accessories.
Protect your phone’s screen. Your phone’s screen
is delicate. Guard against scratches by using a
screen protector or a protective case.
Use the original manufacturer’s batteries
and accessories. Non-approved batteries and
accessories can harm you and damage your phone.
Do not use damaged accessories. If your charger
or any other accessory is damaged, replace it or
take it to a qualified service dealer. Do not attempt to
charge your phone if the charger has been dropped,
received a sharp blow, or has been otherwise
damaged; doing so may damage your phone.

APPROVED FIRMWARE VERSIONS
This device will only operate with firmware versions
that have been approved for use by T-Mobile and
the device manufacturer. If unauthorized firmware is
placed on the device it will not function.
SAFETY TIPS
Consider device compatibility
If you have a pacemaker or a hearing aid, check
with your doctor to make sure it’s safe for you to
use a cell phone. In some cases, cellular radio
frequencies can disrupt the performance of other
electronic equipment. If you have questions about
the interaction between your phone and any other
piece of electronic equipment, ask the equipment
manufacturer.
Drive safely
T-Mobile encourages you to use your phone in a safe
and sensible manner while driving.
Here are a few safety tips:
n Assess road conditions before
answering your phone. Your safety
is more important than any call.
n Prepare your hands-free headset, if you
have one, or turn on your speakerphone,
before you start moving.
n Pre-program frequently used numbers into
your phone for easy, one-touch dialing.
n Keep your phone close. If it rings and you
discover it’s in the back seat, do NOT crawl
over the seat to answer it while driving.
n Remember that laws prohibiting or
restricting the use of a cell phone while
driving may apply in your area.

INFORMATION ABOUT SAFEGUARDING
HANDSETS
T-Mobile encourages customers to take appropriate
measures to secure their handsets and invites them
to take advantage of the features available on this
handset to help secure it from theft and/or other
unauthorized access and use. This handset has a
locking function (e.g., user-defined codes or patterns)
that can serve as a first line of defense against
unauthorized use or access to stored information.
Preloaded security applications that allow customers
to track or locate misplaced devices can be found
on several T-Mobile devices. Lost or stolen devices
should be immediately reported to T-Mobile so that
proper measures can be taken to protect accounts.

EMERGENCY DIALING
Although all phones are equipped with 9-1-1
emergency calling capabilities, this phone may
or may not permit its location to be approximated
during a 9-1-1 call.*
*Availability of this feature depends on upgrades to the (a) wireless
network and (b) 9-1-1 calling system that are required to be installed
by the local 9-1-1 response agency or public safety answering point
(PSAP); these upgrades may not be available everywhere within our
wireless coverage area or your roaming area. This approximation of the
phone’s location and the transmittal of location information are subject
to emergency situations, transmission limits, network problems/
limitations, interconnecting carrier problems, your phone, buildings/
tunnels, signal strength and atmospheric/topographical conditions,
and may be curtailed, interrupted, dropped, or refused. The phone’s
approximate location is transmitted to the local 9-1-1 response agency
or PSAP while the call is in progress; this approximation is intended
solely to aid the PSAP in dispatching emergency assistance or to limit
the search area for emergency services personnel. You should not
rely solely on a mobile phone for essential communications (such
as a medical or other emergency). Please see T-Mobile’s Terms and
Conditions, and Privacy Policy for additional service restrictions and
details.

SAFETY AND USE
We recommend that you read this chapter carefully
before using your mobile phone. 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 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,

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: 100-240 V, 50/60 Hz, 150 mA
Output: 5 V, 1000mA
Battery: Lithium 2000mAh
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 0.776W/Kg for use at the ear and 1.464 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 phone
has been tested when positioned a minimum of
15mm from the body without any metal parts in the
vicinity of the phone or when properly used with an
5655
appropriate accessory and worn on the body. For
devices which include “WiFi hotspot” functionality,
SAR measurements for the device operating in
WiFi hotspot mode were taken using a separation
distance of 10 mm. 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
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.
