To prevent possible hearing damage, do not
listen at high volume levels for long periods.
Exercise caution when holding your device near
your ear while the loudspeaker is in use.
www.sar-ck.com
This product meets applicable national
SAR limits of 2.0 W/kg. The specific
maximum SAR values can be found on
Radio Waves section of this user guide.
When carrying the product or using it
while worn on your body, either use an
approved accessory such as a holster or
otherwise maintain a distance of 5 mm

with RF exposure requirements. Note
that the product may be transmitting
even if you are not making a phone call.

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.

7
• CONDITIONS OF USE:
You are advised to switch off the phone from time to
time to optimise 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 +45°C (113°F).
At over 45°C (113°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 screen is damaged,
cracked, or broken to avoid any injury.
Do not paint it.
