Safety warning
ØROAD SAFETY COMES FIRST
Do not use a hand-held phone while driving. Use hands-free fittings when calls are unavoidable
while driving. In some countries, dialing or receiving calls while driving is illegal!
ØSWITCH OFF IN AIRCRAFT
Wireless devices can cause interference in aircraft. Using a mobile phone in flight is illegal and
risky.
Please make sure that your mobile phone is powered off in flight.
ØSWITCH OFF BEFORE ENTERING RISKY AREAS
Strictly observe the relevant laws, codes, and regulations on the use of mobile phones in risky
areas. Turn off your mobile phone before entering a place susceptible to explosion, such as an oil

-4-
station,
oil
tank,
chemical
plant
or
a
place
where
a
blasting
process
is
under
way.
ØOBSERVE ALL SPECIAL REGULATIONS
Follow any special regulations in force in any area such as hospitals and always switch off your
phone whenever it is forbidden to use it or, when it may cause interference or danger. Properly use
your mobile phone near medical apparatuses, such as pacemakers, hearing aids and some other
electronic medical devices, as it may cause interference to such apparatuses.
ØINTERFERENCE
The conversation quality of any mobile phone may be affected by radio interference. An
antenna is built inside the mobile phone and located below the microphone. Do not touch the
antenna area during a conversation, lest that the conversation quality deteriorate.
ØQUALIFIED SERVICE
Only qualified personnel may install or repair phone equipment. Installing or repairing the
mobile phone on your own may bring great danger and violates the warranty rules.
ØACCESSORIES AND BATTERIES
Use only approved accessories and batteries.
ØUSE SENSIBLY
Use only in a normal and proper manner.
ØEMERGENCY CALLS
Ensure the phone is switched on and in service, enter the emergency number, e.g. 112, then
press the Dial key. Give your location and state your situation briefly. Do not end the call until told to
do so.
Note: Just like all other mobile phones, this mobile phone does not necessarily support all the

-5-
features
described
in
this
manual
due
to
network
or
radio
transmission
problems.
Some
networks
even do not support the emergency call service. Therefore, do not rely solely on the mobile phone
for critical communications such as first aid. Please consult the local network operator.
Precautions
This mobile phone is well designed with fine art. Please exercise special care when using it.
The following suggestions will help your mobile phone survive the warranty period and extend its
service life:
ØKeep the mobile phone and all its fittings beyond children's reach.
ØKeep the mobile phone dry. Keep away from rain, moisture, liquid or other substances that may
corrode electronic circuits.
ØDo not use or store the mobile phone in dusty places, lest that active parts of the mobile phone be
damaged.
ØDo not store the mobile phone in a high-temperature place. High temperature will shorten the life
of electronic circuits and damage the battery and some plastic parts.
ØDo not store the mobile phone in a chilly place. Otherwise, moistures will be formed inside the
mobile phone to damage electronic circuits when the mobile phone is moved to a constant
temperature place.
ØDo not throw, knock or shock the mobile phone, as that will destroy the internal circuits and
