• PRIVACY:
Please note that you must respect the laws and regulations in force in your country regarding taking photographs and
recording sounds using your mobile telephone. Pursuant to such laws and regulations, it may be strictly forbidden to take
photographs and/or to record the voices of other people or any of their personal attributes, and reproduce or distribute
them, as this may be considered to be an invasion of privacy. t is the user's sole responsibility to ensure that prior
authorisation be obtained, if necessary, in order to record private or confidential conversations or take a photograph of
another person; the manufacturer, the seller or reseller of your mobile phone (including the operator) disclaim any liability
which may result from the improper use of the mobile phone.
• BATTERY:
Before removing the battery from your phone, please make sure that the phone is switched off. Observe the following
precautions for battery use: do not attempt to open the battery (due to the risk of toxic fumes and burns), do not puncture,
disassemble or cause a short-circuit, do not burn batteries or dispose of them in household rubbish, and do not expose to
temperatures in excess of 60°C. Batteries must be disposed of in accordance with locally applicable environmental
regulations. Only use the battery for the purpose for which it was designed. Never use damaged batteries or not
recommended by Alcatel.
•CHARGERS
Mains powered chargers will operate within the temperature range: 0°C to 40°C.
The chargers designed for your mobile phone meet with the standard for safety of information technology equipment and
office equipment use. They should be used for this purpose only.
•RADIO WAVES:
Proof of compliance with international standards ( CN RP) or with European Directive 1999/5/EC (R&TTE) is required of
all mobile phone models before they can be put on the market. The protection of the health and safety for the user and
any other person is an essential requirement of these standards or this directive.
TH S MOB LE PHONE COMPL ES W TH NTERNAT ONAL AND EUROPEAN REQU REMENTS REGARD NG
EXPOSURE TO RAD O WAVES.

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 in this manual.
•TRAFFIC SAFETY:
Given studies, which show that using a mobile phone while driving a vehicle constitutes a real risk, even when the handsfree
kit is used (car kit, headset...), drivers are requested to refrain from using their mobile when the vehicle is not parked.
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 dealer or car manufacturer to make sure that the car electronics is well insulated.
•CONDITIONS OF USE:
Always treat the phone with care and in a clean and dust-free place.
Switch off the phone before boarding an aircraft to avoid prosecution.
Switch off the phone when you are in health care facilities, except in designated areas. As with other types of equipment
now in regular use, mobile phones can interfere with the operation of other electric, electronic or radio frequency devices
in their vicinity.
When the telephone is on, it should not come closer than 15cm to any medical device (i.e. cardiac pacemaker, hearing aid,
insulin pump, etc.). When making or receiving a call, make sure you place the phone against the ear that is furthest away
from the pacemaker or the hearing aid (if there is only one).
Switch the phone off when you are near gas or flammable liquids. Strictly obey the rules relating to the use of mobile phones
at fuel depots, petrol stations, chemical plants or in any potentially explosive atmosphere.
Do not allow children to use your mobile phone without supervision.
Do not open or attempt to repair your mobile phone yourself.
Move the handset away from your ear while using the “handsfree” option because the amplified volume might cause
hearing damage.
Only use your telephone with Alcatel batteries, chargers and accessories compatible with your model (see page 91). The
manufacturer disclaims any liability for damage caused by the use of other chargers or batteries. Do not allow your phone
to be exposed to adverse weather or environmental conditions (dampness, rain, infiltration, dust, sea air, etc.). The
minimum and maximum temperatures recommended by the manufacturer are between -10°C and +55°C. Beyond 55°C,
the legibility of the display may be impaired, but this is temporary and not serious.

General Information ............................................
•Internet address: www.alcatel.com - Wap address: wap.alcatel.com

your country)
An electronic version of this user guide is available in English and other languages according to availability on

Your telephone is a transceiver that operates on GSM networks with 900, 1800 and 1900 MHz bands.
The marking indicates that your telephone complies with "1999/5/EC (R&TTE)" directive and that the
accessories concerned comply with current EC directives. The entire copy of the Declaration of Conformity
for your telephone can be obtained through Alcatel website: www.alcatel.com.
Protection against theft
Your mobile phone has an identification number called ME (phone serial number) shown on the packaging
label and in the product’s memory. We recommend that you note this number the first time you use your
telephone by entering , , , , and keep it safely. t may be requested by the police or
your operator if your telephone is stolen. This number allows your mobile telephone to be blocked,
preventing a third person from using it, even with a different S M card.

Your mobile phone is a radio transmitter/receiver. t was designed and manufactured to comply with the radiofrequency
(RF) exposure thresholds recommended by international requirements ( CN RP) (1) and by the Council of the European
Union (Recommendation 1999/519/EC) (2). These limits are part of a set of requirements and establish authorised
radiofrequency levels for the public. These limits were established by groups of independent experts on the basis of regular
and detailed scientific assessments. They include a significant safety margin intended to ensure the safety of all, regardless
of age or state of health.
The exposure standard for mobile phones is determined by a measurement unit known as the Specific Absorption Rate or
“SAR”. The SAR limit is set by international requirements or by the Council of the European Union at 2 watts/kilogram
(W/kg) averaged over ten grams of body tissue. The tests used to determine SAR levels were carried out on the basis of
standard usage modes with the phones transmitting at their maximum power level over the entire range of frequency bands.
Although the SAR was established at the highest certified level, the actual SAR level for the mobile phone during use is
generally much lower than the maximum values. n fact, since mobiles phones are designed to operate at many different
power levels, they only use the minimum level of power required to provide a connection to the network. n theory, the
closer you are to a base station antenna, the lower the power level required by the mobile phone.
The highest tested SAR value for this mobile phone for use at the ear and compliance against the standard is 0.5 W/kg.
While there may be differences between the SAR levels on various phones and at various positions, they all meet the
relevant nternational guidelines and EU requirements for RF (radio-waves) exposure.
Your telephone is equipped with a built-in antenna. For optimal operation, you should avoid touching it or degrading it (see
page 14).
The World Health Organisation considers that present scientific information does not indicate the need for any special
precautions for use of mobile phones. f individuals are concerned, they might choose to limit their own or their children’s
RF exposure by limiting the length of calls, or using “handsfree” devices to keep mobile phones away from the head and
body (fact sheet n° 193). Additional information about electromagnetic fields and public health are available on the following
site: http://www.who.int/peh-emf.
