Turn off 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. Properly 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 apparatuses.

Note: Just like all other mobile phones, this mobile phone does not necessarily support all the features
described in this manual due to network or radio transmission problems. Some networks even do not support
the emergency call service. Therefore, do not rely solely on the mobile phone for critical communications
such as first aid. Please consult the local network operator.
Precautions
This mobile phone is well designed with fine art. 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 children's reach.
Keep the mobile phone dry. Keep away from rain, moisture, liquid or other substances that may corrode
electronic circuits.
Do not use or store the mobile phone in dusty places, lest that active parts of the mobile phone be damaged.
Do not store the mobile phone in a high-temperature place. High temperature will shorten the life of
electronic circuits and damage the battery and some plastic parts.
Do not store the mobile phone in a chilly place. Otherwise, moistures will be formed inside the mobile
phone to damage electronic circuits when the mobile phone is moved to a constant temperature place.

3.2 Charging the Battery
Your mobile phone can monitor and display the battery state.
Normally the remaining energy of the battery is indicated by the battery level icon at the upper right
corner of the display screen.
When the battery energy is insufficient, the mobile phone prompts "Battery low".
Using a travel adapter:
Install the battery into the mobile phone before charging the battery.
Connect the adapter of the travel charger with the charging slot in the mobile phone. Ensure that the
adapter is fully inserted.
Insert the plug of the travel charger to an appropriate power outlet.
During the charging, the battery level grids in the battery icon keep flickering till the battery is fully
charged.
The battery icon does no longer flicker when the charging process ends.
Note:Ensure that the plug of the charger, the plug of the earphone, and the plug of the USB cable are inserted
in the right direction. Inserting them in a wrong direction may cause charging failure or other problems.
Before the charging, ensure that the standard voltage and frequency of the local mains supply match the
rated voltage and power of the travel charger.
