Using your phone safely
On the road
Using a phone while driving is illegal in
many countries. Please follow local laws
and drive safely at all times.
Near sensitive electronics
Don’t use your phone near sensitive
electronic equipment – particularly medical
devices such as pacemakers – as it could
cause them to malfunction. It can also
interfere with the operation of fire detectors
and other automatic-control equipment.

Battery care and safety
Keep the battery in a cool, ventilated place
and out of direct sunlight.
Although the battery is rechargeable, it’ll
eventually start to lose its ability to recharge.
If you find that the battery won’t recharge,
it’s time to replace it.
Please don’t throw old batteries into your
household rubbish. You’ll find there are
special bins for batteries at refuse collection
points. And some high street electrical
stores provide a battery recycling service
too.
Never throw the battery into a fire – it’s
highly inflammable and could explode,
hurting you or somebody else.
When you put the battery into your phone,
there’s no need to use force. Exerting too
much pressure could make it leak, overheat,
explode or burst into flame.
Never take the battery apart. This may
result in leakage, overheating, explosion or
fire.
If the battery becomes hot, changes colour
or shape at any time (when in use, charging
or even while in storage) please stop using
it immediately and replace.
Keep the battery dry. Damp or wet
conditions can cause it to overheat or
corrode.
- 16 -
Don’t leave the battery in direct sunlight or
anywhere really hot, like in a car on a
summer’s day. That could make it leak or
overheat, while lowering its performance and
shortening its life.
Don’t charge the battery continuously for 24
hours. Overcharging is not good for it.
Note:
Please avoid contact with the materials
inside a damaged or leaking battery. If
they get on your skin, wash with lots of
water and seek medical assistance if
required.
RISK OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS
REPLACED BY AN INCORRECT TYPE.
DISPOSE OF USED BATTERIES
ACCORDING TO THE INSTRUCTIONS.
Adapter shall be installed near the
equipment and shall be easily accessible.
- 17 -
Charger care and safety
Only plug into voltages between 100VAC
and 240VAC. Using a voltage outside that
range can damage the phone/charger – and
cause the battery to leak or catch fire.
Never short-circuit the charger – this may
cause electrocution, overheating or
damage.
Don’t charge the phone in direct sunlight or
in an area where it’s damp, dusty, or on a
vibrating surface. And charging your phone
near – or on – a TV or radio could interfere
with transmission.
Don’t use the charger if the power cable is
damaged. It may cause a fire or give
someone an electric shock.
Keep water well away from the charger. If
the charger does get splashed by water, or
any other kind of liquid, immediately unplug
it to avoid overheating, fire or electrocution.
Don’t take the charger apart. It could cause
injury, give you an electric shock or catch
fire.
Never touch any charger, electric cable or
socket with wet hands.
Don’t place heavy objects on the electric
cable.
If the cable is damaged, don’t try to mend it
yourself – it could cause a fire or electrocute
you.
- 18 -
Always unplug the charger before you clean
it.
When unplugging the charger, hold the plug
itself, rather than pulling on the cable. A
damaged cable can cause electrocution or
fire.
- 19 -
Care and maintenance
Your phone is a delicate device. The
following advice will help you to keep it
looking good and performing well…
Use a soft dry cloth to clean your phone,
battery and charger. Don’t use liquids such
as alcohol, dilution agents or benzene.
From time-to-time, clean the socket where
the charger cable connects to the phone.
Dust tends to gather there. This will ensure
a really good connection.
Don’t use needles, pen points or other sharp
objects on the keypad or screen.
Don’t use your phone with wet hands – it
could injure you and damage the phone.
Don’t use your phone in dusty or dirty
environment.
Keep your phone away from extremes of
heat – like radiators or ovens. It may
explode if it gets too hot.
If your phone gets wet and the colour of the
label on it changes, the warranty will be void,
even if the warranty period hasn’t expired.
If there’s anything wrong with the phone,
battery, charger, or any accessory, please
send them to your nearest service centre
for inspection.

Certification information (SAR)
This mobile device meets guidelines for
exposure to radio waves.
This device does not support V.O.I.P. function.
It means that the functions of WLAN and
Bluetooth do not have voice capability in the
held to ear mode for phone service.
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 exposure guidelines for mobile devices
employ a unit of measurement known as the
Specific Absorption Rate or SAR. The SAR limit
stated in the ICNIRP guidelines is 1.6
watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged over 1 gram of
tissue. Tests for SAR are conducted using
standard operating positions with the device
transmitting at its highest certified power level
in all tested frequency bands. The actual SAR
level of an operating device can be below the
maximum value because the device is
designed to use only the power required to
reach the network. That amount changes
depending on a number of factors such as how
close you are to a network base station.
Use of device accessories and enhancements
may result in different SAR values. SAR values
- 21 -
may vary depending on national reporting and
testing requirements and the network band.
Your mobile device is also designed to meet the
requirements for exposure to radio waves
established by the Federal Communications
Commission (USA) and Industry Canada. These
requirements set a SAR limit of 1.6 W/kg
averaged over one gram of tissue. The highest
SAR value reported under this standard during
product certification for use at the head is 0.560
W/Kg and when properly worn on the body is
1.367 W/Kg. Simultaneous RF exposure is
1.531W/Kg.
While there may be differences between the
SAR levels of individual 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
www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid after searching on
FCC ID: SRQ- V320.
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 that positions the
handset a minimum of 1.0 cm from the body.
Use of other accessories may not ensure
- 22 -
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 1.0 cm from your body
when the phone is switched on.
