The chargers designed for your cellphone meet with the standard for safety 
of information technology equipment and office equipment use. 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.

Characteristics of power supply

 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.
