 PRIVACY:

Please note that you must respect the laws and regulations in force in your 
jurisdiction or other jurisdiction(s) where you will use your mobile phone 
regarding taking photographs and recording sounds with your mobile 
telephone. Pursuant to such laws and regulations, it may be strictly forbidden 
to take photographs and/or to record the voices of other people or any of 
their personal attributes, and duplicate or distribute them, as this may be 
considered to be an invasion of privacy. It is the user's sole responsibility to 
ensure that prior authorisation be obtained, if necessary, in order to record 
private or confidential conversations or take a photograph of another person; 
the manufacturer, the seller or vendor of your mobile phone (including the

mobile phone.

 BATTERY:

Before removing the battery from your phone, please make sure that the 
phone is switched off. 
Observe the following precautions for battery use: 
-  Do not attempt to open the battery (due to the risk of toxic fumes and burns). 
-  Do not puncture, disassemble or cause a short-circuit in a battery, 
-  Do not burn or dispose of a used battery in household rubbish or store it 

at temperatures above 60ºC. 

Batteries must be disposed of in accordance with locally applicable 
environmental regulations. Only use the battery for the purpose for which it 
was designed. Never use damaged batteries or those not recommended by 
TCT Mobile Limited and/or its affiliates.

 

This symbol on your telephone, the battery and the accessories 
means that these products must be taken to collection points 
at the end of their life:

 

- Municipal waste disposal centres with specific bins for these 
items of equipment

 

- Collection bins at points of sale. 

They will then be recycled, preventing substances being disposed of in the 
environment, so that their components can be reused.

In European Union countries:

These collection points are accessible free of charge.
All products with this sign must be brought to these collection points.

In non European Union jurisdictions:

Items of equipment with this symbol are not to be thrown into ordinary bins 
if your jurisdiction or your region has suitable recycling and collection 
facilities; instead they are to be taken to collection points for them to be 
recycled.
CAUTION: RISK OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS REPLACED BY AN 
INCORRECT TYPE. DISPOSE OF USED BATTERIES ACCORDING TO 
THE INSTRUCTIONS.

 CHARGERS

Mains powered chargers will operate within the temperature range of: 0°C 
to 40°C.
The chargers designed for your mobile phone meet with the standard for 
safety of information technology equipment and office equipment use. They 
are also compliant to the ecodesign directive 2009/125/EC. Due to different 
applicable electrical specifications, a charger you purchased in one jurisdiction 
may not work in another jurisdiction. They should be used for this purpose 
only.

 RADIO WAVES:

Proof of compliance with international standards (ICNIRP) or with European 
Directive 1999/5/EC (R&TTE) is required of all mobile phone models before 
they can be put on the market. The protection of the health and safety for 
the user and any other person is an essential requirement of these standards 
or this directive.
THIS DEVICE MEETS INTERNATIONAL GUIDELINES FOR EXPOSURE TO 
RADIO WAVES
Your mobile device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed not to 
exceed the limits for exposure to radio waves (radio frequency 
electromagnetic fields) recommended by international guidelines. The 
guidelines were developed by an independent scientific organization (ICNIRP) 
and include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all 
persons, regardless of age and health.
The radio wave exposure guidelines use a unit of measurement known as the 
Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit for mobile devices is 2.0 W/kg. 
Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions with the 
device transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency 
bands. The highest SAR values under the ICNIRP guidelines for this device 
model are:

Maximum SAR for this model and conditions under which it was recorded.

Head SAR

GSM 900

0.991 W/kg

Body-worn SAR

GSM 900

1.03 W/kg

1)  Non-compliance with the instructions for use or installation, 

or with technical and safety standards applicable in the 
geographical area where your phone is used,

2) Connection to any equipment not supplied or not 

recommended by TCT Mobile Limited,

3)  Modification or repair performed by individuals not authorised 

by TCT Mobile Limited or its affiliates or your vendor,

4)  Inclement weather, lightning, fire, humidity, infiltration of 

liquids or foods, chemical products, download of files, crash, 
high voltage, corrosion, oxidation…

Your phone will not be repaired in case labels or serial numbers 
(IMEI) have been removed or altered.

There are no express warranties, whether written, oral or 
implied, other than this printed limited warranty or the 
mandatory warranty provided by your country or jurisdiction.

In no event shall TCT Mobile Limited or any of its affiliates be 
liable for indirect, incidental or consequential damages of any 
nature whatsoever, including but not limited commercial or 
financial loss or damage, loss of data or loss of image to the full 
extent those damages can be disclaimed by law.

Some countries/states do not allow the exclusion or limitation 
of indirect, incidental or consequential damages, or limitation of 
the duration of implied warranties, so the preceding limitations 
or exclusions may not apply to you.

Troubleshooting. ..............

Before contacting the service centre, you are advised to follow 
the instructions below:

You are advised to fully charge ( 

• 

  ) the battery for 

optimal operation.
Avoid storing large amounts of data in your phone as this 

• 

may affect its performance.
Use User Data Format to perform phone formatting, (to 

• 

perform User Data format, hold down # while 
simultaneously pressing the power on/off key). ALL User 
phone data: contacts, photos, messages and files will be lost 
permanently. 

and carry out the following checks:

My phone cannot switch on 

Check the battery contacts, remove and reinstall your 

• 

battery, then turn your phone on 
Check the battery power level, charge for at least 20 

• 

minutes
If it still does not work, please use User Data Format to 

• 

reset the phone

 

(1)

My phone is frozen or has not responded for several 
minutes

Restart your phone by pressing and holding the 

• 

 key

Remove the battery and re-insert it, then restart the phone

• 

If it still does not work, please use User Data Format to 

• 

reset the phone

 

(1)

My phone turns off by itself

Check that your keypad is locked when you are not using 

• 

your phone, and make sure power off key is not mis-
contacted due to unlocking keypad.
Check the battery charge level

• 

If it still does not work, please use User Data Format to 

• 

reset the phone

 

(1)

During use, the actual SAR values for this device are usually well below the 
values stated above. This is because, for purposes of system efficiency and to 
minimize interference on the network, the operating power of your mobile 
device is automatically decreased when full power is not needed for the call. 
The lower the power output of the device, the lower its SAR value.
Body-worn SAR testing has been carried out at a separation distance of 10 mm. 
To meet RF exposure guidelines during body-worn operation, the device should 
be positioned at least this distance away from the body.  If you are not using an 
approved accessory ensure that whatever product is used is free of any metal 
and that it positions the phone the indicated distance away from the body. 
Organizations such as the World Health Organization and the US Food and 
Drug Administration have stated that if people are concerned and want to 
reduce their exposure they could use a hands-free device to keep the phone 
away from the head and body during phone calls, or reduce the amount of 
time spent on the phone.
For more information you can go to www.alcatelonetouch.com
Additional information about electromagnetic fields and public health are 
available on the following site: http://www.who.int/peh-emf.
Your telephone is equipped with a built-in antenna. For optimal operation, 
you should avoid touching it or degrading it.
As mobile devices offer a range of functions, they can be used in positions 
other than against your ear. In such circumstances the device will be 
compliant with the guidelines when used with headset or USB data cable. If 
you are using another accessory ensure that whatever product is used is free 
of any metal and that it positions the phone at least 10 mm away from the 
body.
