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 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 phone
when the vehicle is not parked�
When driving, do not use your phone and headset to listen to music
or to the radio. Using a headset 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 phone RF energy.
• CONDITIONS OF USE:
You are advised to switch off the phone from time to time to
optimize 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, phones 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 an
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 phone 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 phone and
accessories without supervision.
If your phone has a removable cover, note that your phone may
contain substances that could create an allergic reaction.
If your phone is a unibody device, the back cover and battery are
not removable. If you disassemble your phone the warranty will not
apply. Disassembling the phone may damage the battery, and may
cause leakage of 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 (14°F) to +55°C (131°F).
At over 55°C (131°F) the legibility of the phone’s display may be
impaired, though this is temporary and not serious.
Do not open, dismantle, or attempt to repair your phone yourself.
Do not drop, throw, or bend your 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 TCL Communication Ltd. and its affiliates and are
compatible with your phone model. TCL Communication Ltd. and its
affiliates disclaim any liability for damage caused by the use of other
chargers or batteries.
Remember to make backup copies or keep a written record of all
important information stored on 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:
- Do not play or use a flashing-lights feature if you are tired or
need sleep;
- Take a minimum of a 15-minute break hourly;
- Play in a room in which all lights are on;
- Play at the farthest distance possible from the screen;
