Safety and use .......................

We recommend that you read this chapter carefully before using your 
mobile 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 
phone when the vehicle is not parked. Check the laws and regulations 
on the use of wireless mobile phones 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 mobile 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 mobile 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 mobile 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 car’s electronic devices are shielded from mobile phone RF 
energy.

 CONDITIONS OF USE:

You are advised to switch off the mobile phone from time to time to 
optimize its performance.
Remember to abide by local authority rules of mobile phone use on 
aircrafts.
Operational Warnings: Obey all posted signs when using mobile devices 
in public areas.
Follow Instructions to Avoid Interference Problems: Turn off your 
mobile device in any location where posted notices instruct you to do 
so. In an aircraft, turn off your mobile device whenever instructed to 
do so by airline staff. If your mobile device offers an airplane mode or 
similar feature, consult airline staff about using it in flight.
Switch the mobile 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 phones can interfere with other electrical or 
electronic devices, or equipment using radio frequency.
Switch the mobile phone 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 mobile 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. In particular when using the mobile phone you should hold it 
against the ear on the opposite side to the device, if any. 

Read and follow the directions from the manufacturer of your 
implantable medical device. If you have any questions about using your 
mobile device with your implantable medical device, consult your 
healthcare provider.
To avoid hearing impairment, answer the call before holding your 
mobile phone 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 mobile phone.
When replacing the cover please note that your mobile phone may 
contain substances that could create an allergic reaction.
Always handle your mobile phone with care and keep it in a clean 
and dust-free place.
Do not allow your mobile 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 (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 mobile phone’s display may be 
impaired, though this is temporary and not serious. 
Do not open or attempt to repair your mobile phone yourself.
Do not drop, throw or try to bend your mobile phone.
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 mobile phone model.TCT Mobile Limited and 
its affiliates disclaim any liability for damage caused by the use of other 
chargers or batteries.
Your mobile phone 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 mobile 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 mobile phone or enabling a flashing-lights 
feature on your mobile phone. Parents should monitor their children’s 
use of video games or other features that incorporate flashing lights 
on the mobile 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:
-  Play at the farthest distance possible from the screen.
