Safety and use ..................

We recommend that you read this chapter carefully before using your 
phone. 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 mobile phone 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 
mobile when the vehicle is not parked.

When driving, do not use your phone 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 phone 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 phone 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 dashboard is adequately shielded from mobile phone RF 
energy.

 CONDITIONS OF USE:

You are advised to switch off the telephone from time to time to 
optimise its performance.
Switch the phone off before boarding an aircraft.
Switch the phone off when you are in health care facilities, except in 
designated areas. As with many other types of equipment now in 
regular use, mobile telephones can interfere with other electrical or 
electronic devices, or equipment using radio frequency.
Switch the phone off when you are near gas or flammable liquids. 
Strictly obey all signs and instructions posted in a fuel depot, petrol 
station, or chemical plant, or in any potentially explosive atmosphere.
When the phone 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, 
etc. In particular when using the phone, you should hold it against the 
ear on the opposite side to the device, if any. 
To avoid hearing impairment, pick up the call before holding your 
phone to your ear. Also move the handset away from your ear while 
using the “hands-free” mode because the amplified volume might 
cause hearing damage.

Do not let children use the phone and/or play with the telephone 
and accessories without supervision.
When replacing the cover please note that your phone may contain 
substances that could create an allergic reaction.
Always handle your phone with care and keep it in a clean and dust-
free place.
Do not allow your phone 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 to +55°C. 
At over 55°C the legibility of the phone’s display may be impaired, 
though this is temporary and not serious. 
Emergency call numbers may not be reachable on all cellular 
networks. You should never rely only on your phone for emergency 
calls.
Do not open, dismantle or attempt to repair your mobile phone 
yourself.
Do not drop, throw or bend your mobile phone.
Do not use the phone if the glass made screen, is damaged, cracked 
or broken to avoid any injury.
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 phone model. TCT Mobile Limited and its 
affiliates disclaim any liability for damage caused by the use of other 
chargers or batteries.
Remember to make back-up copies or keep a written record of all 
important information stored in your phone.
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 phone or 
enabling a flashing-lights feature on your phone. 
Parents should monitor their children’s use of video games or other 
features that incorporate flashing lights on the phones. 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:
