Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)
Your phone meets the SAR requirements for exposure to radio waves,
recommended by Govt. of India. Your mobile phone is a radio
transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured so as not to
exceed the limits for exposure to radio-frequency (RF) energy, as
recommended by the Govt. of India. These limits are part of
comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy
for the general population. The limits include a substantial safety
margin designed to ensure the safety of all persons, regardless of age
and health.
The exposure standard for mobile phones employs a unit of
measurement known as SAR (Specific Absorption Rate). The SAR
limit recommended by the Govt. of India is 1.6 Watt/kg taken over a
volume containing a mass of 1 gram of tissue.
The highest SAR value for
V1517
is
1.362
W/Kg. Press *#07# to check
the SAR value on your phone display.

electronic products contain materials that are hazardous, depending on
their condition and density. If improperly disposed, they can leach lead
and other harmful substances into soil and groundwater.
Govt. of India vide notification dated May 12, 2011 has announced
E-waste (Management and Handling) Rules, 2011 (“Rules”).
According to these Rules, the consumer now has the legal responsibility

2 Before Use
SIM card
Before using the mobile phone, you should insert the valid SIM card,
which is the key for you to enter the GSM network.
All the information related to the creation of the connection to the
network and initial call records will be recorded in the metal plane area
of the SIM card as well as the names, telephone numbers and SMS
stored in the phone book on the SIM card. The SIM card can be taken
out from your mobile phone and can be placed in any one of the GSM
mobile phones for use (the new mobile phone will read the SIM card
automatically).
To prevent losing and damaging of the information in the SIM card,
please DO NOT touch the metal plane area and the SIM card should be
kept far away from electromagnetism. Once the SIM card is damaged,
you can not enter into the GSM network.
*Note: Please do power off your mobile phone before pulling out the
SIM card. It is forbidden to insert or pull out the SIM card with the
mobile phone connected to the external power supply; otherwise, the
SIM card is most likely to be damaged.

When you need to pull out your SIM card, please power off your
mobile phone firstly, remove the battery, pull out your SIM card
Battery
The initial battery is of 50% charge, so it can be used right after
being unpacked. The new battery should be charged at least for 14
hours. Only when the initial battery is exhausted thoroughly (the
electricity quantity runs out and the mobile phone can not power on)
can the battery be fully recharged for use, so does the second time
charging. Only when recycled for three times in this way can the
battery works in the best condition easily.
Pull out and install the battery
Follow the following steps to pull out the battery: Open the
back cover; Pull the battery upwards and get it out.
Follow the following steps to install the battery:

Then the power quantity indicator in the upper right corner of the
mobile phone screen will flicker. If the phone has been powered off,
the screen will display “charging” and this indicates that the battery
is being charged. If the phone is still in use despite of lack of power,
the power indicator may take some time to appear on the screen.
If the power indicator is full and stops to flicker, this means that the
charge has been finished. This process often takes 3 to 4 hours. It is
7
normal that, during charge, the battery, mobile phone and battery
charger become hot.
¾
After the charge is completed, please disconnect the AC power
supply socket and the mobile phone with the battery charger.

and disobey the recognition and maintenance clauses of this mobile
phone.
--When your mobile phone automatically powers off or displays the
warning of “Low Power”, you should charge the battery in time. In
case the battery has not run out before charge, the mobile phone
will shorten the charge time automatically.
--The standby time and call time provided by the manufacturer is
based on the ideal working environment. During the practical use,
the battery’s service time changes with the network condition,
working environment and use mode used.
--Before charging the battery, please make sure that the battery is
properly inserted and it is forbidden to take it down during
charging. .
--When charge is over, please disconnect the charger with the mobile
phone and the battery.
If you do not disconnect the charger with the power supply and the
mobile phone, after a long time (about 5 to 8 hours), the power of
the battery will drop to a certain level and the mobile phone will
resume charge once again. We do not recommend you to do so, for
this will affect the performance and service life of the battery.
