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.
Your device has been tested in a controlled environment and certified to
be water and dust-resistant in specific situations (meets requirements of
classification IP67 as described by the international standard IEC 60529 -
Degrees of Protection provided by Enclosures [IP Code]; test conditions:
15 - 35 °C, 86 - 106 kPa, 1 meter, 30 minutes). Despite this classification,
your device is not impervious to water damage in any situation.
Make sure SIM/SD cover is tightly closed for IP67 features. Otherwise,
they may not provide protection from water and dust.
• 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 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 anti-lock
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,
24 25
- check with your car dealer or the car manufacturer to make sure that
the dashboard is adequately shielded from mobile 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 explosive atmosphere.
When the phone is switched on, it should be kept at least 15 cm from any
medical device such as a pacemaker, a hearing aid or insulin pump, etc. In
particular when using the phone, you should hold it against the ear on
the opposite side to the device, if any.
To avoid hearing impairment, pick up the call before holding your phone
to your ear. Also move the handset away from your ear while using the
“hands-free” mode because the amplified volume might cause hearing
damage.
Do not let children use the phone and/or play with the telephone and
accessories without supervision.
Note that your phone is a unibody device, the back cover and battery
are not removable. Do not attempt to disassemble your phone. If you
disassemble your phone the warranty will not apply. Also disassembling
the phone may damage the battery, and may cause leakage of substances
that could create an allergic reaction.
Always handle your phone with care and keep it in a clean and dust-
free place.
Do not allow your phone to be exposed to adverse weather or
environmental conditions (moisture, humidity, rain, infiltration of
liquids, dust, sea air, etc.). The manufacturer’s recommended operating
temperature range is -10°C to +45°C.
At over 45°C the legibility of the phone’s display may be impaired, though
this is temporary and not serious.
Emergency call numbers may not be reachable on all cellular networks.
You should never rely only on your phone for emergency calls.
Do not open, dismantle or attempt to repair your mobile phone yourself.
Do not drop, throw or bend your mobile phone.
Do not use the phone if the glass made screen, is damaged, cracked or
broken to avoid any injury.
Do not paint it.
Use only batteries, battery chargers, and accessories which are
recommended by TCT Mobile Limited and its affiliates and are compatible
with your phone model. TCT Mobile Limited and its affiliates disclaim any
liability for damage caused by the use of other chargers or batteries.
Remember to make back-up copies or keep a written record of all
important information stored in your phone.
Some people may suffer epileptic seizures or blackouts when exposed to
flashing lights, or when playing video games. These seizures or blackouts
may occur even if a person never had a previous seizure or blackout.
If you have experienced seizures or blackouts, or if you have a family
history of such occurrences, 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,
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.
- 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

• 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
1.01 W/kg for use at the ear and 1.01 W/kg for use close to the body.
28 29
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.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. 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.
