Your telephone is a transceiver that operates on GSM networks with 900, 1800 and 1900 MHz bands.
The marking indicates that your telephone complies with "1999/5/EC (R&TTE)" directive and that the
accessories concerned comply with current EC directives. The entire copy of the Declaration of Conformity
for your telephone can be obtained through website: www.alcatel.com.
Protection against theft
Your mobile phone has an identification number called IMEI (phone serial number) shown on the packaging
label and in the product’s memory. We recommend that you note this number the first time you use your
telephone by entering
, , , , and keep it safely. It may be requested by the police or
your operator if your telephone is stolen. This number allows your mobile telephone to be blocked,
preventing a third person from using it, even with a different SIM card.

Your mobile phone is a radio transmitter/receiver. It was designed and manufactured to comply with the radiofrequency
(RF) exposure thresholds recommended by international requirements (ICNIRP)
(1) and by the Council of the European
Union (Recommendation 1999/519/EC) (2) . These limits are part of a set of requirements and establish authorised
radiofrequency levels for the public. These limits were established by groups of independent experts on the basis of regular
and detailed scientific assessments. They include a significant safety margin intended to ensure the safety of all, regardless
of age or state of health.
The exposure standard for mobile phones is determined by a measurement unit known as the Specific Absorption Rate or
“SAR”. The SAR limit is set by international requirements or by the Council of the European Union at 2 watts/kilogram
(W/kg) averaged over ten grams of body tissue. The tests used to determine SAR levels were carried out on the basis of
standard usage modes with the phones transmitting at their maximum power level over the entire range of frequency bands.
Although the SAR was established at the highest certified level, the actual SAR level for the mobile phone during use is
generally much lower than the maximum values. In fact, since mobiles phones are designed to operate at many different
power levels, they only use the minimum level of power required to provide a connection to the network. In theory, the
closer you are to a base station antenna, the lower the power level required by the mobile phone.
The highest tested SAR value for this mobile phone for use at the ear and compliance against the standard is 0.5 W/kg.
While there may be differences between the SAR levels on various phones and at various positions, they all meet the
relevant International guidelines and EU requirements for RF (radio-waves) exposure.
Your telephone is equipped with a built-in antenna. For optimal operation, you should avoid touching it or degrading it (see
page 14).
The World Health Organisation considers that present scientific information does not indicate the need for any special
precautions for 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 “handsfree” devices to keep mobile phones away from the head and
body (fact sheet n° 193). Additional information about electromagnetic fields and public health are available on the following
