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 cellphone 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 cellphone 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 car dealer or the car manufacturer to make sure that the car’s electronic devices are shielded from cellphone RF energy.
•CONDITIONS OF USE:
You are advised to switch off the telephone from time to time to optimize its performance.
Switch the phone off before boarding an aircraft to avoid prosecution.
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, cellphones 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, gas 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 insulin pump.
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 handset away from your ear while using
the “hands-free” option because the amplified volume might cause hearing damage.
Do not let small children use your cellphone without supervision.
When replacing the cover please note that your phone may contain 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 to +55°C.(the max value depends on product i.e. if paint
or not) Over 55°C the legibility of the phone’s display may be impaired, though this is temporary and not serious.
Do not open or attempt to repair your cellphone yourself.
Do not drop, throw or try to bend your cellphone.
Do not paint it.
Use only Alcatel batteries, battery chargers, and accessories that are compatible with your phone model. (See Accessories List, page 103). T&A
Mobile Phones Limited and its affiliates disclaim any liability for damage caused by the use of other chargers or batteries.
Your phone should not be disposed of in a municipal waste. Please check local regulations for disposal of electronic products.
Remember to make back-up copies or keep a written record of all important information stored in your phone.

Some people may suffer epileptic seizures or blackouts when exposed to flashing lights, or when playing video games. These seizures or
blackouts may occur even if a person never had a previous seizure or blackout. If you have experienced seizures or blackouts, or if you have
a family history of such occurrences, please consult your doctor before playing video games on your phone or enabling a flashing-lights feature
on your phone. Parents should monitor their children’s use of video games or other features that incorporate flashing lights on the phones. All
persons should discontinue use and consult a doctor if any of the following symptoms occur: convulsion, eye or muscle twitching, loss of
awareness, involuntary movements, or disorientation. To limit the likelihood of such symptoms, please take the following safety precautions:
-Do not play or use a flashing-lights feature if you are tired or need sleep.
-Take a minimum of a 15- minute break hourly.
-Play in a room in which all lights are on.
-Play at the farthest distance possible from the screen.
When you play games on your phone, you may experience occasional discomfort in your hands, arms, shoulders, neck, or other parts of your
body. Follow these instructions to avoid problems such as tendinitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, or other musculoskeletal disorders:
-Take a minimum of a 15 minute-break every hour of game playing.
-If your hands, wrists, or arms become tired or sore while playing, stop and rest for several hours before playing again.
-If you continue to have sore hands, wrists, or arms during or after playing, stop the game and see a doctor.
•PRIVACY:
Please note that you must respect the laws and regulations in force in your country regarding taking photographs and recording sounds using
your cellphone. 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. It is the
user's sole responsibility to ensure that prior authorization be obtained, if necessary, in order to record private or confidential conversations
or take a photograph of another person; the manufacturer, the seller or vendor of your cellphone (including the operator) disclaim any liability
which may result from the improper use of the cellphone.
•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 in a battery,
-Do not burn or dispose of a used battery in the garbage or store it at temperatures above 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 those not recommended by T&A Mobile Phones Limited and/or its affiliates.

This symbol on your telephone, the battery and the accessories means that these products must be taken to collection points at the
end of their life:
- Municipal waste disposal centres with specific bins for these items of equipment
- Collection bins at points of sale.
They will then be recycled, preventing substances being disposed of in the environment, so that their components can be reused.
In European Union countries:
These collection points are accessible free of charge. All products with this sign must be brought to these collection points.
In non European Union countries:
Items of equipment with this symbol are not be thrown into ordinary bins if your country or your region has suitable recycling and collection
facilities; instead they are to be taken to collection points for them to be recycled.
•CHARGERS:
Mains powered chargers will operate within the temperature range of: 0°C to 40°C.
The chargers designed for your cellphone meet with the standard for safety of information technology equipment and office equipment use.
They should be used for this purpose only.
Characteristics of power supply (depending on the country):
110 V charger (used in Mexico): 220 V charger:
Input: 100-127 V, 50/60 Hz, 0.30 A Input: 220-240 V, 50/60 Hz, 0.30 A
Output: 4.5 V, 350 mA Output: 4.5 V, 350 mA
Travel charger: Battery: Lithium 650 mAh
Input : 100-240 V, 50/60 Hz, 0.15 A
Output : 6.5 V, 350 mA
•RADIO WAVES:
THIS CELLPHONE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT’S REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.
Your cellphone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio-
frequency (RF) energy. These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population.
The guidelines are based on standards that were developed by independent scientific organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation of
scientific studies. These guidelines include a substantial safety margin designed to ensure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The exposure standard for cellphones employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by
public authorities such as the Federal Communications Commission of the US Government (FCC), the Australian Communications Authority
(ACA) or by Industry Canada, is 1.6 W/kg averaged over 1 gram of body tissue. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions
with the cellphone transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands.
Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the cellphone while operating can be well below
the maximum value. This is because the cellphone is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the power required to reach
the network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output of the cellphone Before a cellphone
model is available for sale to the public, compliance with national regulations and standards must be shown.
7
E5LIQUID_UM_USA_21-03-06 21/03/06 8:47 Page 7

8
The highest SAR value for this model cellphone when tested for use at the ear is 0.79 W/Kg and for use close to the body is 1.09 W/Kg. While
there may be differences between the SAR levels of various cellphones and at various positions, they all meet the government requirement for
RF exposure. For body-worn operation, the cellphone meets FCC RF exposure guidelines provided that it is used with a non-metallic accessory
with the handset at least 2 cm from the body. Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines.
The World Health Organization (WHO) considers that present scientific information does not indicate the need for any special precautions for
use of cellphones. If individuals are concerned, they might choose to limit their own or their children's RF exposure by limiting the length of
calls, or using "hands-free" devices to keep cellphones away from the head and body. (fact sheet n°193).Additional WHO information about
electromagnetic fields and public health are available on the following website: http://www.who.int/peh-emf.
Your telephone is equipped with a built-in antenna. For optimal operation, you should avoid touching it or degrading it (see page 18).
