1Safety Information
To use your phone safely and effectively, please read these guidelines
carefully.
1.1 When carrying the phone
When you are using the phone, keep it some distance at least 2.5CM away
from your body. In case there is a need of phone slipcover, belt clip, or
other accessories to carry your cell phone, it is important to ensure they are
approved by the manufacturer. Otherwise, it may exceed the upper limit of
radio frequency leakage.
1.2 Energy Leak of Radio Frequency
Your phone is a low-power, wireless transmitter and receiver. After being
powered on, it will periodically send and receive radio signals whilst its
transmission power is controlled by the network. This device complies with
the standards restricting energy leak of radio frequency.
1.3 Electromagnetic Radiation
Your phone fully complies with standards related to wireless irradiation
enacted by the authority of the State and International Health Association.
These limitations are part of the comprehensive regulations and constitute
public wireless irradiation permission standards. These standards are
developed and formed after long-term intensive scientific research by
independent scientific organizations such s ICNIRP (International
Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection). These standards
contain a large surplus to ensure the safety of all and take the variable
factors of various measurement conditions in consideration.
1.4 In Public
Some public places, such as hospitals, health resorts, or other medical
facilities, post signage prohibiting cell phone usage. Heed such warnings

7
and power off your phone in designated public places.
1.5 Compatibility of RF Interference
Your phone may interfere with other devices that are not properly designed
for RF shielding or configured for RF compatibility.
1.6 In Aircraft
Switch the device off and remove the battery when you are in or near an
aircraft. It’s illegal to use cellular equipment on board aircraft since it may
cause interference to aircraft navigation systems and/or networks. Violators
may be sued or face severe penalties.
1.7 Pacemakers
If you are using a pacemaker, do not carry your phone (while switching on)
in a breast pocket. A minimum separation of 15 cm should be maintained
between the wireless phone and a pacemaker. Use the ear opposite the
pacemaker to minimize the potential for interference. If you have any
reason to suspect that interference is taking place, switch off your phone
immediately.
1.8 Hearing Aids
Wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of such
interference, you may want to consult your service provider.
1.9 Other Medical Equipments
For other personal health care equipments, consult your service provider.
Consult a physician or the manufacturer of the medical device to determine
if they are adequately shielded from external RF energy or if you have any
questions.
1.10 Road Safety
Please comply with local traffic laws and regulations. If the driving

8
condition is getting worse, pull off the road before you make or receive calls.
If your vehicle has airbags, keep your phone away from where the inflated
airbags can reach. Otherwise, you may be seriously hurt by the phone once
the airbags expand.
1.11 Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Switch off your phone when in any area with a potentially explosive
atmosphere and obey all signs and instructions. These areas include fuel
depots (below deck on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities),
areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust or
metal powders. They are usually marked with signs, but not always so.
1.12 Battery
Any contact of the battery’s exposed electrodes with a conductor, such as
jewelry or keys, may cause damage to possessions or bodily injury.
1.13 Others
The phone is comprised of precise electronic circuits, magnets and a
battery system. Caution is advised when handling the components,

Do not place it near a flame or a lit cigarette.
Do not scratch on it.
Avoid tapping or severe knocking of the phone to prevent damage.

other magnetic objects, otherwise the message stored in the magnetic disk
or credit card may be affected.
Do not place it on an automobile dashboard, window or anywhere sunshine
can penetrate.
Do not remove the battery when it’s powering on.
Do not discard the battery in fire. It may explode.

9
Do not place the battery in mouth. It may be poisonous.
Do not try to disassemble the phone or its accessories.
Use only approved model-applicable batteries. Incorrect batteries may
cause explosion. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to dispose used
batteries.
Heat is generated by prolonged usage of the headphones and by prolonged
charging of the cellular device.
A moist or anti-static cloth may be used to wipe or clean the phone. Do not
use a dry cloth that attracts static electricity to avoid damage to the phone.
Do not use a chemical reagent or a cleanser containing abrasives to avoid
damage to the phone’s casing.
The metal material contained in the phone may cause you in hyper
susceptibility, which depends on your physique or health status.
