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
5
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 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
6
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.
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.
7
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.
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
8
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.
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.
9
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 performance or may
cause danger of explosion, etc.

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 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 0.426 W/kg and when worn on the body, as described in
this user guide, is 0.271 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
12
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-GS516
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.
13

warranty card for full warranty and service information.
Note: The pictures and icons shown in the manual are just schematic drawings
for function demonstration. If they are inconsistent with your handset, please take
your handset as the standard. If the inconsistency exits in the manual because of
the handset function updating, please refer to the follow-up public information
