Se c urit y
 To protect your mobile phone from illegal use, take the security
measures as follows:
 Set PIN codes of the SIM card.
 Set handset lock code.
 Set call restrictions.
Sa fe t y Pre c a ut ions
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
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 flashinglight 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 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 (radio frequency) 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.
 Do not expose your mobile phone to direct sunlight or store it in hot
areas. High temperatures can shorten the life of electronic devices.

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.
 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.
10
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
 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
11
using the phone if necessary.

 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
12
the plane is on the ground.
 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 idle time) is
noticeably shorter than normal, it is time to replace it with a new one.
13
 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.

H e a lt h a nd sa fe t y inform a t ion
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
16
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 tested for use at the ear is 0.806 W/kg and when worn on the body,
as described in this user guide, is 0.607 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.
17
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-GR290
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.
