Set PIN codes of the SIM card.
Set handset lock code.
Set call restrictions.
Safety Precautions
This section includes some important information on safe and efficient operation.
Please read this information before using the phone.
Operational Precautions
Please use your phone properly. When making or receiving a call,
please hold your phone as holding a wireline telephone. Make sure that
the phone is at least one inch (about two point five centimeters) from
your body when transmitting.
Do not touch the antenna when the phone is in use. Touching the antenna
area affects call quality and may cause the phone to operate at a higher
power level than needed.
Some people may be susceptible to epileptic seizures or blackouts when
exposed to flashing lights, such as when watching television or playing
5
video games. If you have experienced seizures 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-light feature
on your phone. (The flashing-light feature is not available on all products.)
Keep the phone out of the reach of small children. The phone may cause
injury if used as a toy.
Precautions While Driving
Please pay attention to the traffic safety. Check the laws and regulations
on the use of your phone in the area where you drive. Always obey them.
Use hands-free function of the phone, if available.
Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if conditions
require.
Precautions for Medical Devices and Facilities
When using your phone near pacemakers, please always keep the phone
more than eight inches (about twenty centimeters) from the pacemaker
when the phone is switched on. Do not carry the phone in the breast pocket.
Use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for
interference. Switch off the phone immediately if necessary.
Some phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of
such interference, you may consult your hearing aids manufacturer to
6
discuss alternatives.
If you use any other personal medical device, please consult the
manufacturer of your device to determine if it is adequately shielded from
RF energy.
In those facilities with special demand, such as hospital or health care
facilities, please pay attention to the restriction on the use of mobile phone.
Switch off your phone if required.
Mobile Phone
Please use original accessories or accessories approved by the
phone manufacturer. Using any unauthorized accessories may affect
your mobile phone’s performance, damage your phone or even cause
danger to your body and violate related local regulations about telecom
terminals.
Turn off your phone before you clean it. Use a damp or anti-static cloth
to clean the phone. Do not use a dry cloth or electrostatically charged
cloth. Do not use chemical or abrasive cleaners as these could damage
the phone.
As your mobile phone can produce electromagnetic field, do not place it
near magnetic items such as computer disks.
Using the phone near electrical appliances such as TV, telephone, radio
and personal computer can cause interference.
7
Do not expose your mobile phone to direct sunlight or store it in hot areas.
High temperatures can shorten the life of electronic devices.
Keep your phone dry. Any liquid may damage your phone.
Do not drop, knock or harshly treat the phone. Rough handling can
break internal circuit boards.
Do not connect the phone with any incompatible enhancement.
Do not attempt to disassemble the mobile phone or battery.
Do not store the phone with flammable or explosive articles.
Do not charge the mobile phone without battery.
Some electronic devices are susceptible to electromagnetic interference
sent by phone if inadequately shielded. Please use phone at least 20 cm
or as far away as you can from TV set, radio and other automated office
equipment so as to avoid electromagnetic interference.
Operating phone may interfere with medical devices like hearing aides and
pacemakers, or other medical devices in hospital. Consult a physician or
the manufacturer of the medical device before using phone.
Be aware of the usage limitation when using phone at places such as oil
warehouses, or chemical factories, where there are explosive gases or
explosive products being processed, because even if your phone is in idle
state, it still transmits radio frequency (RF) energy. Therefore, power off
your phone if required.
8
Do not touch the antenna while calling. Otherwise it will affect the quality of
calling and waste battery energy. The damaged antenna will cause slight
burn while touching your skin.
Keep phone out of the reach of small children. Phone may cause injury if
used as a toy.
Do not put other things on the terminal to avoid overlaying radiator.
Keep the antenna free from obstructions and position the antenna straight
up. This will ensure best call quality.
Precautions for Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Switch off your phone prior to entering any area with potentially
explosive atmospheres, such as fueling areas, fuel or chemical transfer or
storage facilities.
Do not remove, install, or charge batteries in such areas. Spark in a
potentially explosive atmosphere can cause an explosion or fire resulting in
bodily injury or even death.
To avoid possible interference with blasting operations, switch off your
phone when you are near electrical blasting caps, in a blasting area, or
in areas posted “Turn off electronic devices.” Obey all signs and
instructions.
Precautions for Electronic Devices
9
Some electronic devices are susceptible to electromagnetic interference
sent by mobile phone if inadequately shielded, such as electronic system of
vehicles. Please consult the manufacturer of the device before using the phone
if necessary.
Safety and General Use in Vehicles
Safety airbag, brake, speed control system and oil eject system shouldn’t
be affected by wireless transmission. If you do meet problems above,
please contact your automobile provider. Do not place your phone in the
area over an airbag or in the airbag deployment area. Airbags inflate with
great force. If a phone is placed in the airbag deployment area and the
airbag inflates, the phone may be propelled with great force and cause
serious injury to occupants of the vehicle.
Please turn off your mobile phone at a refueling point, and the same to
the place where the use of two-way radio is prohibited.
Aircraft Safety
Please turn off your mobile phone before the airplane takes off. In order
to protect airplane’s communication system from interference, it is
forbidden to use mobile phone in flight. Safety regulations require you to
have permission from a crew member to use your phone while the plane is
on the ground.
10
If the mobile phone has the function of automatic timing power-on,
please check your alarm setting to make sure that your phone will not be
automatically turned on during flight.
Battery Use
Do not short-circuit the battery, as this can cause the unit to overheat or
ignite.
Do not store battery in hot areas or throw it into fire. Otherwise, it will
cause explosion.
Do not disassemble or refit the battery. Otherwise, it will cause liquid
leakage, overheating, explosion and ignition of the battery.
Please store the battery in a cool dry place if you don’t use it for a long
period.
The battery can be recharged for hundreds of times, but it will eventually
wear out. When the operating time (talk time and standby time) is noticeably
shorter than normal, it is time to replace it with a new one.
Please stop using the charger and battery when they are damaged or
show evidence of aging.
Return the worn-out battery to the provider or dispose of it in accordance
with environment regulations. Do not dispose of it in household rubbish.
Please use original batteries or batteries approved by the phone
manufacturer. Using any unauthorized battery may affect your handset
11
performance or may cause danger of explosion, etc.
Warning: If the battery is damaged, do not discharge it. If the leakage does come
into contact with the eyes or skin, wash thoroughly in clean water and consult a
doctor.

Health and safety information
Radio Frequency (RF) Energy
This model 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
13
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
tested for use at the ear is 1.040 W/kg and when worn on the body, as
described in this user guide, is 1.040 W/kg (Body-worn measurements differ
among phone models, depending upon available enhancements 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-GR222.
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
enhancements may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure
guidelines. If you do not use a body-worn accessory and are not holding the
phone at the ear, position the handset a minimum of 1.5 cm from your body
when the phone is switched on.
