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.
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 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.
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
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 use the cellphone 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
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.
