Before you get started
Keeping your phone safe
Don’t make it easy for thieves to steal or abuse your phone. Don’t
leave it lying around and set a PIN code that you change from time to
time.
If your phone is lost or stolen, tell your network provider straight away.
You’ll need to give them your phone’s IMEI – the identity number
you’ll find on the back of your mobile when you take out the battery.
Remember to make a note of it and keep in a safe place.
Safety warnings and precautions
Precautions for using your mobile phone
You don’t need a license to use your phone, but there are some laws
and precautions you need to follow.
On the road
z Take note of the local laws and regulations while driving. In the UK,
that means no chatting on your phone without a hands-free kit.
Out and about
z Your mobile phone can cause some electronic devices to
malfunction, so think twice before using it near a pacemaker or
other electronic medical devices, fire detectors and auto-control
equipment. For details on how your mobile phone can affect
electronic medical devices, ask the manufacturer or your local
distributor.
z Also be aware that using your mobile phone near TV sets, radios
2
and automated office equipment can interfere with signals.
In the air
z Turn off your mobile phone on any airplane where it’s forbidden
to use it. It can affect the normal operation of electronic devices.
In hospital
z Turn off your mobile phone in hospital where it’s forbidden to
use it.
When filling up
z Don’t use your mobile phone at the petrol station. And turn it off
anywhere near fuels or chemicals.
At the beach
z Keep your mobile phone away from water. If it gets wet, it could
overheat or cause electrical parts to leak or malfunction.
Near children
z Don’t let kids play with your mobile phone – it’s not a toy and
could cause an injury.
Explosion areas
z Follow relevant laws and regulations to the letter when they
concern turning off your mobile phone in or near explosion areas.
Antenna
z Do not use your mobile phone if your antenna is damaged – it
may cause you injury.
Original accessories
z There’s a good reason for using only original accessories or ones
authenticated by the manufacturer. Any others may affect the
mobile phone’s performance, violate your warranty provisions or
3
breach national regulations. They could even cause injury.
Emergency calls
z Turn on your phone, make sure you’re in a reception area, type in
the emergency number and press the Send key to dial.
Precautions for using the battery
z Store the battery in a cool, ventilated place away from direct sunlight.
z All batteries have a limited life – which becomes shorter and
shorter the more your recharge it. If charging fails several times,
it’s time for a replacement.
z Don’t just throw your worn-out battery in the bin. Dispose of it in
designated places according to specified regulations.
z Do not throw your worn-out batteries into fire. It will ignite or
explode.
z When you’re installing the battery, be gentle. Pressing too hard
can cause it to leak, overheat, explode or ignite.
z Do not disassemble or reassemble the battery. It may result in
leakage, overheating, explosion or fire.
z If the battery becomes hot, changes in color or gets deformed
during the course of use, charging or storage, stop using it
immediately and replace it.
z Keep the battery away from dampness to prevent overheating,
smoldering or erosion.
z Do not leave the battery in direct sunlight, in a car or other high-
temperature places, as this may result in leakage or overheating
– and could affect the battery’s performance and shorten its life.
z Do not keep charging the battery continuously over 24 hours.
Note: If the battery is damaged, avoid touching it. If your skin
comes into contact with any of the materials inside the battery,
flush it with lots of water and seek help from a doctor if necessary.
4
Precautions for using the charger
z Use the power voltage between 110VAC and 220VAC. Using
voltage beyond this range may cause leakage, fire or damage to
the phone and charger.
z Do not short-circuit the charger. It might cause electric shock,
smoldering or damage.
z Do not charge the battery in direct sunlight, near dampness,
dust, vibration, TV sets, or radios.
z Do not use the charger if the power cable is damaged. It might
cause fire or electric shock.
z Do not place water containers near the charger. If water or any
other kind of liquid splashes on the charger, immediately remove
the charger from the power socket to avoid overheating, fire,
electric shock or power failure.
z Do not disassemble or reassemble the charger. It might cause
injury, electric shock, fire or damage.
z Do not touch any charger, power cable or power socket with wet
hands. It might cause electric shock.
z Do not place heavy objects on top of power cables or refit power
cables. It might cause electric shock or fire.
z Remove the power plug from the socket before cleaning and
maintenance.
z Hold the charger rather than pull the power cable while

Inserting and removing a UIM card
You need to insert a valid UIM card into your phone before you can
make and receive calls. All your information regarding network
connection plus many of your contacts are saved on the UIM card. So
it makes sense to keep it safe from harm – don’t touch the metal
surface and keep it far away from electricity or magnetism.

healthy life, exhaust it completely before fully recharging it for the first
three times.
Installing the battery
1. Align the battery's contact points in the direction of the arrow
shown and insert the battery into the slot.
2. Put on the battery cover and press it gently until you hear a click.

Charging the battery
1. Open the USB port cover at the left side of the phone and insert
the plug.

powered on and the battery is charging, the battery capacity bar
on the top-right corner of the screen will rise and fall. When the
phone is powered off and the battery is charging, you will still
see a charging indicator on the screen.
3. If the phone is used excessively without sufficient battery power,
the charging indicator will not appear on the screen immediately
and the phone might not be powered on until a few minutes after
the charging starts.
4. It usually takes about two-and-a-half hours to complete the
charging. During charging, it’s normal for the battery, phone and
charger to become warm.

the charging is completed.

Appendix
Clearance and maintenance
Your phone is delicately designed, so please treat and maintain it
with care. The following maintenance tips might help you extend the
life of your phone.
1. Clean your phone, battery and charger with a soft dry cloth.
2. Do not clean your phone with alcohol, dilution agent or
benzene (or other liquors).
3. Clean the socket from time to time because a dusty
socket might cause disconnection, power failure, or even
charging failure.
4. Do not press the keys with needles, pen points or other
sharp objects – this might cause damage to the phone,
which in turn might mean the phone doesn’t work
properly.
5. Keep tiny metal objects like pins away from the phone
receiver. The phone speaker is magnetic and thus
magnetizes those metal objects, which may hurt people
or damage the phone.
6. Keep your mobile phone dry. Rain, moisture or any kind
of liquid containing minerals might corrupt the circuit.
7. Do not touch the phone with wet hands because this
might cause electric shock.
8. Don’t use or put your phone in a dusty or dirty environment,
as this might damage the phone’s precision components.
30
9. Don’t let your phone get too hot, as this might shorten the
life of electronic devices, damage the battery, twist or
melt some plastic parts.
10. Don’t let your phone get too cold, as water vapour can
form inside the phone, causing damage when it returns
to normal temperature.
11. Don’t put your phone in or on any heating devices
(microwave oven, toaster or radiator). Overheating might
result in an explosion.
12. Please send your phone to the nearest service centre for
inspection if there is anything wrong with it, the battery,
charger or accessories. The service centre staff will give
you all the help you need.

4RF exposure information (SAR)
This mobile phone meets the government’s requirements for
exposure to radio waves.
This phone is designed and manufactured not to exceed the
emission limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the
Federal Communications Commission of the U.S. Government.
The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a unit of
measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The
SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg. *Tests for SAR are conducted
using standard operating positions accepted by the FCC with the
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 phone while
operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the
phone is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use
only the poser required to reach the network. In general, the closer
you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power
output.
The highest SAR value for the model phone as reported to the FCC
when worn on the body, described in this user guide is
(Body-worn measurements differ among phone models, depending
upon available accessories and FCC requirements.)
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various
phones and at various positions, they all meet the government
requirement.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model
phone with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with
the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR information on this model
phone is on file with the FCC and can be found under the Display
Grant section of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching on FCC
ID: Q78-D980.
33
For body worn operation, this phone has been tested and meets the
FCC RF exposure guidelines for use with an accessory that contains
no metal and the positions the handset a minimum of 1.5 cm from
the body. Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with
FCC RF exposure guidelines. If you do no t use a body-worn
accessory and are not holding the phone at the ear, position the
handset a minimum of 1.5cm from your body when the phone is
switched on.
This device is compliance with SAR for general population
/uncontrolled exposure limits in ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1999 and had
been tested in accordance with the measurement methods and
procedures specified in OET Bulletin 65 Supplement C.
