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 MOBILE PHONE COMPLIES WITH INTERNATIONAL AND EUROPEAN REQUIREMENTS
REGARDING EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.
Your mobile phone is a radio transmitter/receiver. It was designed and manufactured to comply
with the radiofrequency (RF) exposure thresholds recommended by international requirements
(ICNIRP)
(1)
and by the Council of the European Union (Recommendation 1999/519/EC)
(2)
.
These limits are part of a set of requirements and establish authorised radiofrequency levels for
the public.These limits were established by independent groups of experts on the basis of regular
and detailed scientific assessments. They include a significant safety margin intended to ensure the
safety of all, regardless of age or state of health.
The exposure standard for mobile phones is determined by a measurement unit known as the
Specific Absorption Rate or “SAR”. The SAR limit is set by international requirements or by the
Council of the European Union at 2 watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged over 10 grams of body tissue.
The tests used to determine SAR levels were carried out on the basis of standard usage modes
with the phones transmitting at their maximum power level over the entire range of frequency
bands.
Although the SAR was established at the highest certified level, the actual SAR level for the mobile
phone during use is generally much lower than the maximum values. In fact, since mobile phones
are designed to operate at many different power levels, they only use the minimum level of power
required to provide a connection to the network. In theory, the closer you are to a base station
antenna, the lower the power level required by the mobile phone.

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 operator) disclaim any
liability which may result from the improper use of 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
60 °C.
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. 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.
