2 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
2.1 Safety and Precautions
When using your telephone, basic safety precautions should always be
followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and injury, including the
following:
•Switch off the phone in the vicinity of chemical plants, gas stations and
other locations containing explosive objects.
•When driving, please use the hands free calling device (purchase
separately) to ensure safety. Please park the car at roadside for talking
unless in emergency.
•Switch off the phone when boarding airplanes and do not switch the
phone on during the flight.
•Be careful when using the mobile phone in the vicinity of such devices as
pace makers, hearing aids and other electro-medical equipment, which
may be interfered by the mobile phone.
•Never attempt to disassemble the phone by yourself.
•Do not recharge the phone without battery being installed.
•Charge the phone in well-ventilated environment and keep away from
inflammable and high explosive articles.
•To avoid demagnetization, keep the handset away from magnetic
objects, such as magnetic discs or credit cards.
•Keep the phone away from liquid. If soaking or erosion occurs, take the
battery out and contact the supplier.
•Avoid using the phone in environments with too high or too low
temperature. Never leave the phone exposed under direct sunlight, in
high humidity or in a dusty environment.
•Do not use liquid or a damp cloth with strong detergents to clean the
handset.

2.2 Charging your battery
Your device is powered by a rechargeable battery. The full performance
of a new battery is achieved only after two or three complete charge and
discharge process. The battery can be charged and discharged hundreds
of times but it will eventually wear out. When the talk and standby
times are dramatically shorter than normal, replace the battery. Only
using approved batteries and recharge your battery only with approved
chargers designated for this device.
If a replacement battery is being used for the first time or if the battery
has not been used for a long period, it may be necessary to connect the
charger, disconnect it and then reconnect it to begin charging the battery.
Disconnect the charger from the phone after charging. Do not leave a
fully charged battery connected to a charger, since overcharging may
shorten its lifetime. If left unused, a fully charged battery will lose its power
over time.
If the battery is completely discharged, it may take a few minutes before
the charging indicator appears on the display or before any calls can be
made.
Use the battery only for its intended purpose. Never use any charger or
battery that is damaged.
Do not short-circuit the battery. Accidental short-circuiting will occur when
a metallic object such as a coin, clip, or pen causes direct connection of
the positive (+) and negative (-) pole of the battery. This might happen, for
example, when you carry a spare battery in your pocket or purse. Short-
circuit may damage the battery or the connecting object.
Not leave the battery in hot or cold places, such as in a closed car in
summer or winter conditions, this may reduce the capacity and lifetime of
the battery. A device with a hot or cold battery may not work temporarily,
even when the battery is fully charged. Battery performance is particularly
limited in temperatures below zero.
Do not dispose of batteries in a fire as they may explode. Batteries
may also explode if damaged. Dispose of batteries according to local
regulations. Please recycle it when possible. Do not dispose as household
waste.
Note:
Actual life time of the battery varies with operation mode, network
settings and call settings.

UK
Note:
•After the phone has run out of battery, we recommend you recharge
in time.
•To ensure safety, do not change the parts and accessories of the battery
by yourself or take off the battery shell.
•We suggest you only use the original battery supplied with your phone
to avoid any damage to your phone.
•The temperature range for charging the phone is 0°C - 40¨C. Do not
charge the battery in too high or too low temperatures.
•Do not use the mobile phone during charging.
•Don’t keep charging for a long time. Pull out the charger after the
battery is fully charged.
2.3 Further safety information
The unit and the accessories can contain small parts. Keep them out of
the reach of small children.
2.3.1 Operating environment
Remember to follow any particular rules that may apply wherever you
happen to be and always turn off the unit whenever it’s forbidden, or it
can cause interference or danger. Only use the units in its normal user
position.
This unit complies with guidelines for radiation when it is used either in
a normal position against your ear or when it is at least 2.2 cm from your
body. If the unit is carried close to your body in a case, belt holder or other
holder, these should not contain any metal and the product should be
placed at the distance from your body specified above.
Parts of the unit are magnetic. The unit can attract metal object. Do not
keep credit cards or other magnetic media near the unit, as information
stored on them can be erase.
2.3.2 Medical units
The use of equipment that transmits radio signals, e.g. mobile phones,
can interfere with insufficiently protected medical apparatus. Consult
a doctor or the manufacturer of the apparatus to determine if it has
adequate protection against external radio signals or if you have any
question. Wherever there is notices to forbidden use of mobile phone,
you should comply. Hospitals and other health care facilities sometimes
use equipment that can be sensitive to external radio signals.

6
2.3.3 Pacemaker
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend a distance at least 15cm. between
a mobile phone and a pacemaker to avoid the risk of interference with the
pacemaker. These recommendations are in accordance with independent
research and recommendations from Wireless Technology Research.
People with pacemakers should:
•not carry the unit in a breast pocket
•hold the unit against the ear on the opposite side from the pacemaker
to reduce the risk of interference
If you suspect that there is a risk of interference, turn off the unit and move
it further away.
2.3.4 Hearing aids
Some digital wireless units can cause interference to some hearing aids
devices. Contact your operator in case of interference.
2.3.5 Vehicles
Radio signals can affect electronic systems in motor vehicles (e.g. electronic
fuel injection, ABS brakes, automatic cruise control, air bag systems) that
have been incorrectly installed or are inadequately protected. Contact
the manufacturer or its representative for more information about your
vehicle or any additional equipment.
Do not keep or transport flammable liquid gases or explosives together
with the unit or its accessories. For vehicles equipped with air bags:
remember that air bags fill with air with considerable force.
Do not place objects, including fixed or portable radio equipment in the
area above the airbag or the area where it might expand. Serious injuries
may be caused if the mobile phone equipment is incorrectly installed and
the airbag fills with air.
2.3.6 Areas with explosion risk
Always turn off the unit when you are in an area where there is a risk of
explosion and follow all signs and instructions. An explosion risk exists in
the places that include areas where your normally requested to turn off
your car engine. Within such an area, sparks can cause explosion or fire
which can lead to personal injuries, even death.
Turn off the unit at gas stations i.e. near petrol pumps and garages.

7
6
UK
Follow the restrictions that are in force on the use of radio equipment near
places where fuel is stored and sold, chemical factories and places where
blasting is in progress.
Areas with risk for explosion are often – but not always – clearly marked.
This also applies to below decks on ships: the transport or storage of
chemicals; vehicles that use liquid fuel (such as propane or butane); areas
where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust or metal
powder.
2.3.7 Emergency calls
Important:
Mobile phones use radio signals and the mobile phone network. This
means that connection in all circumstances cannot be guaranteed.
Therefore you should never rely solely on a mobile phone for very
important calls such as medical emergencies.
