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, etc.), 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 is 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.
PROTECT YOUR HEARING
To prevent possible hearing damage, do not
listen at high volume levels for long periods.
Exercise caution when holding your phone near
your ear while the loudspeaker is in use.

• 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 healthcare
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. If you
have a medical device fitted, you should hold the phone
against the ear that is furthest away from the device.
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 0°C (32°F) to 40°C (104°F).
At over 40°C (104°F) the legibility of the phone’s
display may be impaired, though this is temporary and
not serious.

Your phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It
is designed not to exceed the limits for exposure
to radio waves (radio frequency electromagnetic
fields) recommended by international guidelines. The
guidelines were developed by an independent scientific
organisation (ICNIRP) and include a substantial safety
margin designed to ensure the safety of all persons,
regardless of age and health.
The radio wave exposure guidelines use a unit of
measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate,
or SAR. The SAR limit for mobile devices is 2 W/kg.
Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating
positions with the device transmitting at its highest
certified power level in all tested frequency bands. The
highest SAR values under the ICNIRP guidelines for this
device model are:
6056D
Maximum SAR for this model and conditions under
which it was recorded
Head SAR UMTS 900MHz + Wi-Fi
2.4GHz 0.53 W/kg
Body-worn
SAR (5 mm) LTE Band 1 + Wi-Fi 2.4GHz 1.48 W/kg
Limb SAR (0
mm) LTE Band 38 + Wi-Fi 2.4GHz 3.13 W/kg
This device is compatible with the charger, which
complies with the following standards relating to the
Common Mobile Phone Charger:
- EN301 489-34 V2.1.1 Final Draft (2017-04)
- EN 62684:2018
Model: UC13
Input Voltage: 100~240 V
Input AC Frequency: 50/60 Hz
Output Voltage: 5.0 V
Output Current: 2.0 A
Output Power: 10.0 W
Average active efficiency: 79.0 %

Radio waves ...................................
Proof of compliance with international standards
(ICNIRP) or with European Directive 2014/53/EU
(RED) is required of all phone models before they can
be put on the market. The protection of the health and
safety of the user and any other person is an essential
requirement of these standards and this directive.
THIS DEVICE MEETS INTERNATIONAL GUIDELINES
FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.

17 18
6056H
Maximum SAR for this model and conditions under
which it was recorded
Head SAR UMTS 900 + Wi-Fi 2.4G 0.53 W/kg
Body-worn
SAR (5 mm) LTE Band 1 + Wi-Fi 2.4G 1.48 W/kg
Limb SAR (0
mm)
UMTS 2100MHz + Wi-Fi
2.4GHz 3.12 W/kg
During use, the actual SAR values for this phone are
usually well below the values stated above. This is
because, for purposes of system efficiency and to
minimise interference on the network, the operating
power of your phone is automatically decreased when
full power is not needed for the call. The lower the
power output of the phone, the lower its SAR value.
Body-worn SAR testing has been carried out at a
separation distance of 5 mm. To meet RF exposure
guidelines during body-worn operation, the phone
should be positioned at least this distance away from
the body.
If you are not using an approved accessory, ensure that
whatever product is used is free of any metal and that
it positions the phone the indicated distance away from
the body.
Organisations such as the World Health Organisation
and the US Food and Drug Administration have stated
that if people are concerned and want to reduce their
exposure they could use a hands-free device to keep
the phone away from the head and body during phone
calls, or reduce the amount of time spent on the phone.
For more information, you can go to www.alcatelmobile.
com.
Additional information about electromagnetic fields
and public health is available on the following site:
http://www.who.int/peh-emf.
Your phone is equipped with a built-in antenna. For
optimal operation, you should avoid touching it or
degrading it.
As mobile devices offer a range of functions, they can
be used in positions other than against your ear. In such
circumstances the phone will be compliant with the
guidelines when used with a headset or USB data cable.
If you are using another accessory ensure that whatever
product is used is free of any metal and that it positions
the phone at least 5 mm away from the body.
