● Do not paint your phone.
● The data saved in your phone might be deleted due to
careless use, repair of the phone, or upgrade of the software.
Please backup your important phone numbers. The
manufacturer is not liable for damage due to the loss of data.
● When you use the phone in public places, set the ring tone
to vibration so as not to disturb others.
● Do not turn your phone on or off when putting it in your ear.
● Use accessories, such as earphones and headsets, with
caution. Ensure that cables are tucked away safely and do
not touch the antenna unnecessarily.
If you are listening to music whilst out and about, please ensure
that the volume is at a reasonable level so that you are aware
of your surroundings. This is particularly imperative when
attempting to cross the street.
Avoid damage to your hearing
Damage to your hearing can occur if you are exposed to loud
sound for long periods of time. We therefore recommend that
you do not turn on or off the handset close to your ear. We also
recommend that music and call volumes are set to a reasonable
level.
FDA Consumer Update
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s Center for
Devices and Radiological Health Consumer Update
on Mobile Phones:
1. Do wireless phones pose a health hazard?
The available scientific evidence does not show that any health
problems are associated with using wireless phones. There is
no proof, however, that wireless phones are absolutely safe.
Wireless phones emit low levels of Radio Frequency energy (RF)
in the microwave range while being used. They also emit very
low levels of RF when in the Main Menu Screen. Whereas high
levels of RF can produce health effects (by heating tissue),
exposure to low level RF that does not produce heating effects
causes no known adverse health effects. Many studies of low
level RF exposures have not found any biological effects. Some
studies have suggested that some biological effects may occur,
but such findings have not been confirmed by additional
research. In some cases, other researchers have had difficulty
in reproducing those studies, or in determining the reasons for
inconsistent results.
2. What is the FDA's role concerning the safety of wireless
phones?
Under the law, the FDA does not review the safety of radiation-
emitting consumer products such as wireless phones before
they can be sold, as it does with new drugs or medical devices.
However, the agency has authority to take action if wireless
phones are shown to emit Radio Frequency energy (RF) at a
