Distraction
Driving
Full attention must be given to driving at all times in order to
reduce the risk of an accident. Using a phone while driving
(even with a hands free kit) can cause distraction and lead to
an accident. You must comply with local laws and
regulations restricting the use of wireless devices while
driving.
Operating Machinery
Full attention must be given to operating the machinery in
order to reduce the risk of an accident.
12
Product Handling
General Statement on Handling and Use
You alone are responsible for how you use your phone and
any consequences of its use.
You must always switch off your phone wherever the use of a
phone is prohibited. Use of your phone is subject to safety
measures designed to protect users and their environment.
• Always treat your phone and its accessories with care
and keep it in a clean and dust-free place.
• Do not expose your phone or its accessories to open
flames or lit tobacco products.
• Do not expose your phone or its accessories to liquid,
moisture or high humidity.

accessories.
• Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or
aerosols to clean the device or its accessories.
• Do not paint your phone or its accessories.
• Do not attempt to disassemble your phone or its
accessories, only authorized personnel can do so.
• Do not expose your phone or its accessories to extreme
temperatures, minimum - [5] and maximum + [50]
degrees Celsius.
13
• Please check local regulations for disposal of electronic
products.
• Do not carry your phone in your back pocket as it could
break when you sit down.
Small Children
Do not leave your phone and its accessories within the reach
of small children or allow them to play with it.
They could hurt themselves or others, or could accidentally
damage the phone.
Your phone contains small parts with sharp edges that may
cause an injury or may become detached and create a
choking hazard.
Demagnetization
To avoid the risk of demagnetization, do not allow electronic
devices or magnetic media close to your phone for a long
time.
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
Do not touch the SIM card’s metal connectors.
Antenna
Do not touch the antenna unnecessarily.
14
Normal Use Position
When placing or receiving a phone call, hold your phone to
your ear, with the bottom towards your mouth.
Air Bags
Do not place a phone in the area over an air bag or in the air
bag deployment area.
Store the phone safely before driving your vehicle.
Seizures/ Blackouts
The phone can produce a bright or flashing light.
Repetitive Motion Injuries
To minimize the risk of RSI when texting or playing games
with your phone:
• Do not grip the phone too tightly.
• Press the buttons lightly.
• Use the special features which are designed to minimize
the times of pressing buttons, such as Message
Templates and Predictive Text.
• Take lots of breaks to stretch and relax.
Emergency Calls
This phone, like any wireless phone, operates using radio
signals, which cannot guarantee connection in all conditions.
Antenna
15
Therefore, you must never rely solely on any wireless phone
for emergency communications.
Loud Noise
This phone is capable of producing loud noises, which may
damage your hearing. Turn down the volume before using
headphones, Bluetooth stereo headsets or other audio
devices.
Phone Heating
Your phone may become warm during charging and during
normal use.
Electrical Safety
Accessories
Use only approved accessories.
Do not connect with incompatible products or accessories.
Take care not to touch or allow metal objects, such as
coins or key rings, to contact or short-circuit in the battery
terminals.
Connection to a Car
Seek professional advice when connecting a phone interface
to the vehicle electrical system.
16
Faulty and Damaged Products
Do not attempt to disassemble the phone or its accessory.
Only qualified personnel can service or repair the phone or
its accessory.
If your phone or its accessory has been submerged in water,
punctured, or subjected to a severe fall, do not use it until
you have taken it to be checked at an authorized service
centre.
Interference
General Statement on Interface
Care must be taken when using the phone in close
proximity to personal medical devices, such as pacemakers
and hearing aids.
Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum
separation of 15 cm be maintained between a mobile phone
and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the
pacemaker. To achieve this, use the phone on the opposite
ear to your pacemaker and do not carry it in a breast pocket.
Hearing Aids
People with hearing aids or other cochlear implants may
experience interfering noises when using wireless devices or
17
when one is nearby.
The level of interference will depend on the type of hearing
device and the distance from the interference source,
increasing the separation between them may reduce the
interference. You may also consult your hearing aid
manufacturer to discuss alternatives.
Medical Devices
Please consult your doctor and the device manufacturer
to determine if operation of your phone may interfere with
the operation of your medical device.
Hospitals
Switch off your wireless device when requested to do so in
hospitals, clinics or health care facilities. These requests are
designed to prevent possible interference with sensitive
medical equipment.
Aircraft
Switch off your wireless device whenever you are instructed
to do so by airport or airline staff.
Consult the airline staff about the use of wireless devices on
board the aircraft. If your device offers a ‘flight mode’, this
must be enabled prior to boarding an aircraft.
18
Interference in Cars
Please note that because of possible interference to
electronic equipment, some vehicle manufacturers forbid
the use of mobile phones in their vehicles unless a
hands-free kit with an external antenna is included in the
installation.
Explosive Environments
Petrol Stations and Explosive Atmospheres
In locations with potentially explosive atmospheres, obey all
posted signs to turn off wireless devices such as your phone
or other radio equipment.
Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres include fuelling
areas, below decks on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or
storage facilities, areas where the air contains chemicals or
particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders.
Blasting Caps and Areas
Power off your mobile phone or wireless device when in a
blasting area or in areas posted power off “two-way radios”
or “electronic devices” to avoid interfering with blasting
operations.
19
Radio Frequency (RF) Exposure
General Statement on RF Energy
Your phone contains a transmitter and a receiver. When it
is ON, it receives and transmits RF energy. When you
communicate with your phone, the system handling your
call controls the power level at which your phone transmits.
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)
Your mobile device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is
designed not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio
waves recommended by international guidelines. These
guidelines were developed by the independent scientific
organization ICNIRP and include safety margins designed
to assure the protection of all persons, regardless of age
and health.
The guidelines use a unit of measurement known as
Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit for mobile
devices is 2 W/kg and the highest SAR value for this device
when tested at the ear was 0.993 W/kg*. As mobile devices
offer a range of functions, they can be used in other
positions, such as on the body as described in this user
guide.
As SAR is measured utilizing the device’s highest
transmitting power, the actual SAR of this device while
operating is typically below that indicated above. This is
due to automatic changes to the power level of the device
20
to ensure it only uses the minimum power required to
communicate with the network.
* The tests are carried out in accordance with EN 50360,
EN 62209-1, and EN 62209-2.
** Please see body worn operation.
Body Worn Operation
Important safety information regarding radio frequency
radiation (RF) exposure:
To ensure compliance with RF exposure guidelines the
phone must be used with a minimum of 15 mm separation
from the body.
Failure to observe these instructions could result in your RF
exposure exceeding the relevant guideline limits.
Limiting Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF)
Fields
For individuals concerned about limiting their exposure to
RF fields, the World Health Organization (WHO) provides
the following advice:
Precautionary measures: Present scientific information
does not indicate the need for any special precautions for
the 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.
21
Further information on this subject can be obtained from the
WHO home page http://www.who.int/peh-emf (WHO Fact
sheet 193: June 2000).
