SAFETY AND PRECAUTIONS
We recommend that you read this chapter carefully before use.
CONDITIONS OF USE:
Switch the phone off before boarding an aircraft. Use could lead to legal action against
the user. Switch the phone off when in health care facilities except in areas specified.
Like many other types of equipment now in regular use, mobile telephones can
interfere with other electrical or electronic devices in their proximity. Persons with a
medical device (such as a pacemaker, hearing aid, insulin pump) should not carry the
phone in a place close to the device. When placing or receiving a call, persons with a
pacemaker or hearing aid should use the ear on the opposite side to the device.
Switch your phone off when near gas or flammable liquids. Strictly obey all signs and
instructions when in a fuel depot or chemical plant, at a refuelling point (service station)
or in any potentially explosive atmosphere. Do not let small children use the phone
without supervision. Do not attempt to open or repair it yourself. Use only the batteries,
battery chargers and accessories approved by the manufacturer. The manufacturer
disclaims any liability for damage caused by use of other batteries, chargers or
accessories. Switch your phone off before removing the battery. Do not expose the
phone to unfavorable environmental conditions (humidity, rain, ingress of liquid, dust,
sea air, etc.). Outside the manufacturer’s recommended operating temperature range
(-20° C to +55° C), the legibility of the phone’s display may be impaired, though this is
temporary.
ENVIRONMENT:
Do not attempt to open the battery because it contains chemical substances. Do not
dispose of used batteries in household waste. Batteries must be disposed of in
accordance with locally applicable environmental legislation.
TRAFFIC SAFETY:
Remember to always check whether local legislation allows operation of a mobile
phone while driving a vehicle. It is vital to connect the phone to an external antenna
when it is used in a vehicle. Electromagnetic waves may otherwise interfere with the
vehicle electronics. Check that the antenna is mounted and located away from the
driver and passengers or separated from them by a metal screen (e.g. car roof). We
recommend that you park your car before using the phone. However if you intend to
use your phone while driving, you must use it connected to the Alcatel Car Kit
accessory. Check with your car dealer or car manufacturer that the car’s electronic
systems (anti-lock brakes (ABS), airbag) are adequately shielded from mobile phone RF
energy. Always avoid placing the phone on the dashboard.
