1 General Information
1.1 Profile
Please read this manual carefully in order to help you make the most of your phone. Our company may
change features of this mobile phone without prior written notice and reserves the final right to interpret the
performance of this mobile phone. Due to different software and network operators, display on your phone
may be different, refer to your phone for details.
1.2 Safety Information
If your phone has been lost or stolen, notify your network service provider and the SIM card will be disabled
(network support is required). This can avoid economic loss caused by unauthorised use.
1.3 Safety warning and Attentions
Safety warning
Road safety comes first
Do not use a hand-held phone while driving. Use hands-free fittings when calls are unavoidable while driving.
In some countries, dialing or receiving calls while driving is illegal!
Switch off in aircraft
Wireless devices can cause interference in aircraft. Please make sure to only use your phone when switched
to Flight mode when in an aircraft. Go to Menu Settings Phones settings Flight mode
Switch off before entering risk areas
Strictly observe the relevant laws, codes, and regulations on the use of mobile phones in risk areas. Turn off

6
your mobile phone before entering a place susceptible to explosion, such as an oil station, oil tank, chemical
plant or a place where a blasting process is under way.
Observe all special regulations
Follow any special regulations in force in any area such as hospitals and always switch off your phone
whenever it is forbidden to use it or, when it may cause interference or danger. Carefully use your mobile
phone near medical apparatuses, such as pacemakers, hearing aids and some other electronic medical devices,
as it may cause interference to such apparatus.
Interference
The conversation quality of any mobile phone may be affected by radio interference. An antenna is built
inside the mobile phone and located near the microphone. Do not touch the antenna area during a
conversation, this will cause conversation quality to deteriorate.
Qualified service
Only qualified Aspera personnel or approved agent may install or repair phone equipment. Installing or
repairing the mobile phone yourself may be dangerous and may break the warranty terms.

Precautions

7
This mobile phone has an intricate design. Please exercise special care when using it. The following
suggestions will help your mobile phone survive the warranty period and extend its service life:
Keep the mobile phone and all its fittings beyond young children's reach.

Number), PIN2, PUK (PIN Unlocking Key), PUK2 (PIN2 Unlocking Key), IMSI (International Mobile
Subscriber Identity), network information, contacts data, and short messages data.
Note: After powering off your mobile phone, wait for a few seconds before removing or inserting a SIM card.

Using the Battery
The performance of a battery is subject to multiple factors: radio network configuration, signal strength,
ambient temperature, chosen functions or settings, phone fittings, and the voice, data or other application
mode you choose to use.
To guarantee the optimal performance of your battery, please stick to the following rules:
Use only the battery provided by Aspera. Otherwise, damage or even injuries could be caused during
charging. You may also void the warranty.
Power off the mobile phone before removing the battery.
The charging process lasts a longer time for a new battery or a battery not in use for long. If the battery
voltage is too low to enable the mobile phone to be powered on, charge the battery for a longer time. In
this case, the battery icon does not flicker until a long time after the battery enters the charge status.
During charging, ensure the battery is placed in a room temperature environment or in an environment

13
close to room temperature.
Immediately stop using the charging process if the battery produces odor, overheats, cracks, distorts or
has other damage, or if the electrolyte leaks.
The battery wears out with use. A longer charging time is required as the battery is put into use for a long
time. If the total conversation duration decreases but the charging time increases even though the battery
is properly charged, purchase a standard Aspera battery. Using any poor-quality fittings will cause harm
to your mobile phone and may be dangerous.
Note: To guarantee your personal safety and protect the environment, be careful if disposing of the battery.
