purpose only.
Characteristics of power supply (depending on the country):
Travel charger:
Input: 100-240 V~50/60 Hz, 150 mA
Output: 5.0 V = 550 mA
Battery: Lithium 1150 mAh
• RADIO WAVES:
THIS CELLPHONE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT’S REQUIREMENTS FOR
EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.
Your cellphone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and
manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio-
frequency (RF) energy. These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and
establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The
guidelines are based on standards that were developed by independent
scientific organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific
studies. These guidelines include a substantial safety margin designed to ensure
the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The exposure standard for cellphones employs a unit of measurement known
as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by public
authorities such as the Federal Communications Commission of the US
Government (FCC), or by Industry Canada, is 1.6 W/kg averaged over 1 gram
of body tissue. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions
with the cellphone transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested
frequency bands.
Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the
actual SAR level of the cellphone while operating can be well below the
maximum value. This is because the cellphone is designed to operate at
multiple power levels so as to use only the power required to reach the
network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the
lower the power output of the cellphone Before a cellphone model is
available for sale to the public, compliance with national regulations and
standards must be shown.
The highest SAR value for this model cellphone when tested is
XX W/Kg for
use at the ear and XX W/Kg for use close to the body.
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various cellphones
and at various positions, they all meet the government requirement for RF
exposure. For body-worn operation, the cellphone meets FCC RF exposure
guidelines provided that it is used with a non-metallic accessory with the
handset at least 1.5 cm from the body. Use of other accessories may not
ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines.
The World Health Organization (WHO) considers that present scientific
information does not indicate the need for any special precautions for use of
cellphones. 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 cellphones away from the head and body. (fact sheet
n°193). Additional WHO information about electromagnetic fields and public
health are available on the following website: http://www.who.int/peh-emf.

Safety and use .....................
We recommend that you read this chapter carefully before using your
cellphone. The manufacturer disclaims any liability for damage, which may result
as a consequence of improper use or use contrary to the instructions contained
herein.
TRAFFIC SAFETY: •
Given that studies show that using a cellphone while driving a vehicle constitutes
a real risk, even when the hands-free kit is used (car kit, headset...), drivers are
requested to refrain from using their cellphone when the vehicle is not parked.
Check the laws and regulations on the use of wireless cellphones and their
accessories in the areas where you drive. Always obey them. The use of these
devices may be prohibited or restricted in certain areas.
When driving, do not use your cellphone and headphone to listen to music or
to the radio. Using a headphone can be dangerous and forbidden in some areas.
When switched on, your cellphone emits electromagnetic waves that can
interfere with the vehicle’s electronic systems such as ABS anti-lock brakes or
airbags. To ensure that there is no problem:
- do not place your cellphone on top of the dashboard or within an airbag
deployment
area,
- check with your car dealer or the car manufacturer to make sure that the car’s
electronic devices are shielded from cellphone RF energy.
• CONDITIONS OF USE:
You are advised to switch off the cellphone from time to time to optimize its
performance.
Remember to abide by local authority rules of cellphone use on aircrafts.
Switch the cellphone off when you are in health care facilities, except in designated
areas. As with many other types of equipment now in regular use, cellphones can
interfere with other electrical or electronic devices, or equipment using radio
frequency.
Switch the cellphone off when you are near gas or flammable liquids. Strictly
obey all signs and instructions posted in a fuel depot, gas station, or chemical
plant, or in any potentially explosive atmosphere.
When the cellphone is switched on, it should be kept at least 15 cm from any
medical device such as a pacemaker, a hearing aid or insulin pump. In particular
when using the cellphone you should hold it against the ear on the opposite side
to the device, if any.
To avoid hearing impairment, answer the call before holding your cellphone to
your ear. Also move the handset away from your ear while using the “hands-free”
option because the amplified volume might cause hearing damage.
It is recommended to have proper supervision while small children use your
cellphone.
When replacing the cover please note that your cellphone may contain
substances that could create an allergic reaction.
Always handle your cellphone with care and keep it in a clean and dust-free place.
Do not allow your cellphone to be exposed to adverse weather or environmental
conditions (moisture, humidity, rain, infiltration of liquids, dust, sea air, etc.). The
manufacturer’s recommended operating temperature range is -10°C (14°F) to
+55°C (131°F) (the max value depends on device, materials and housing paint/
texture).
Over 55°C (131°F) the legibility of the cellphone’s display may be impaired,
though this is temporary and not serious.
Do not open or attempt to repair your cellphone yourself.
Do not drop, throw or try to bend your cellphone.
Do not paint it.
Use only batteries, battery chargers, and accessories which are recommended by
TCT Mobile Limited and its affiliates and are compatible with your cellphone
model.TCT Mobile Limited and its affiliates disclaim any liability for damage
caused by the use of other chargers or batteries.
Your cellphone should not be disposed of in a municipal waste. Please check
local regulations for disposal of electronic products.
Remember to make back-up copies or keep a written record of all important
information stored in your cellphone.
Some people may suffer epileptic seizures or blackouts when exposed to flashing
lights, or when playing video games. These seizures or blackouts may occur even
if a person never had a previous seizure or blackout. If you have experienced
seizures or blackouts, or if you have a family history of such occurrences, please
consult your doctor before playing video games on your cellphone or enabling a
flashing-lights feature on your cellphone. Parents should monitor their children’s
use of video games or other features that incorporate flashing lights on the
cellphones. All persons should discontinue use and consult a doctor if any of the
following symptoms occur: convulsion, eye or muscle twitching, loss of
awareness, involuntary movements, or disorientation. To limit the likelihood of
such symptoms, please take the following safety precautions:
- Play at the farthest distance possible from the screen.
When you play games on your cellphone, you may experience occasional
discomfort in your hands, arms, shoulders, neck, or other parts of your body.
Follow these instructions to avoid problems such as tendinitis, carpal tunnel
syndrome, or other musculoskeletal disorders:
- Take a minimum of a 15-minute break every hour of game playing.
- If your hands, wrists, or arms become tired or sore while playing, stop and rest
for several hours before playing again.
- If you continue to have sore hands, wrists, or arms during or after playing, stop
the game and see a doctor.
Prolonged exposure to music at full volume using the music player may
damage your hearing. Set your cellphone’s volume to it’s lowest setting prior
