Safety and use…….......
We recommend that you read this chapter carefully before
using your 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 when the vehicle is not
parked.
When driving, do not use your 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 phone emits electromagnetic waves
that can interfere with the vehicle’s electronic systems such as
ABS antilock brakes or airbags. To ensure that there is no
problem:
- do not place your 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 dashboard is adequately shielded from mobile
7
phone RF energy.
• CONDITIONS OF USE:
You are advised to switch off the telephone from time to time
to optimise its performance.
Switch the phone off before boarding an aircraft.
Switch the 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 telephones can interfere
with other electrical or electronic devices, or equipment using
radio frequency.
Switch the phone off when you are near gas or flammable
liquids. Strictly obey all signs and instructions posted in a fuel
depot, petrol station, or chemical plant, or in any potentially

or blackouts, or if you have a family history of such
occurrences, please consult your doctor before playing video
games on your phone or enabling a flashing-lights feature on
your phone.
Parents should monitor their children’s use of video games or
other features that incorporate flashing lights on the phones.
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:
- Do not play or use a flashing-lights feature if you are tired or
need sleep.
- Take a minimum of a 15-minute break hourly.
9
- Play in a room in which all lights are on.
- Play at the farthest distance possible from the screen.
- If your hands, wrists, or arms become tired or sore while
playing, stop and rest for several hours before playing again.
- If you continue to have sore hands, wrists, or arms during or
after playing, stop the game and see a doctor.
When you play games on your phone, you may experience
occasional discomfort in your hands, arms, shoulders, neck, or
other parts of your body. Follow the instructions to avoid
problems such as tendinitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, or other
musculoskeletal disorders.
PROTECT YOUR HEARING
To prevent possible hearing damage, do not listen at high
volume levels for long periods. Exercise caution when holding
your device near your ear while the loudspeaker is in use.
• 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 telephone. 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 duplicate 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 ACCESSARIES:
Before removing the battery from your phone, please make
sure that the phone is switched off.
Observe the following precautions for battery use:
- Do not attempt to open the battery (due to the risk of toxic
10
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 household
rubbish or store it at temperatures above 60 °C.
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 telephone, the battery and the
accessories means that these phones 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 phones with this sign must be brought to these collection
points.
In non-European Union jurisdictions:
Items of equipment with this symbol are not to 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.
CAUTION: RISK OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS REPLACED
BY AN INCORRECT TYPE. DISPOSE OF USED BATTERIES
ACCORDING TO THE INSTRUCTIONS.

office equipment use. They are also compliant to the ecodesign
11
directive 2009/125/EC.
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, 130 mA
Output: 5V, 550mA
Battery: Lithium 750mAh
• RADIO WAVES:
THIS 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
12
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 1.15W/Kg for use at the ear and 0.93 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 15 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.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
13
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 15 mm
away from the body.
