SAFETY INFORMATION
PERSONAL USE
Operation of any radio equipment including mobile phones may interfere with
the function of inadequately shielded medical devices such as hearing aids and
pacemakers. Please consult the manufacturer of these devices or your
physician before use.
In oil depots and chemical factories where explosive gas or other products are
stored, the user should pay close attention to the restriction on the use of
mobile phone. Even if your phone is in the idle mode, it will still transmit radio
frequency signals. Therefore, you must switch off when requested to do so.
Note traffic safety. When you are driving, please do no use your mobile phone.
Stop on the side of the road when you do need to use it. Avoid making calls
with your cellular phone in stormy weather.
Safety Information related with children:
■Be cautious of children swallowing the small parts such as the SIM
card.
■Prevent children from playing with your cell phone as toys. For
example, behaviors like throwing, biting the phone, or immersing it
into water should be avoided.
■Do not let children less than 14 years old hang the phone around
the neck.
MOBILE PHONE USE
Please use only the accessories or parts offered by the manufacturer or those
authorized by the manufacturer. Use of unauthorized accessories might
influence the performance of the phone. What’s worse, your phone might get
damaged and harm will be caused to your body. It might even violate the
national regulations on the telecommunication terminal products.

6
Do not use chemical products like cleaning solvents or detergents to clean
your phone. It is recommended that you use slightly damp and static electricity
proof cloth instead of cloth that is dry and easy to catch static electricity. Before
cleaning, you should switch off your phone.
Your mobile phone produces magnetic fields. Do not place it next to magnetic
storage media such as computer diskettes. Operating your mobile phone close
to other electrical equipment such as televisions, phones, radios and personal
computers may cause interference and therefore influence the performance of
your phone.
Using your phone with a 5℃- 40℃temperature and a 35% - 85% humidity.
Do not expose your mobile phone to strong sunlight, direct heat or any liquids
in case of any damage.
Harsh handling behaviors such as throwing; beating which might damage the
internal integrated circuit of the phone should be avoided.
Please do not link it to other unnecessary equipments.
Phone shall only be connected to a USB interface of version 2.0 or higher. The
connection to so called power USB is prohibited.
Note! Non-professionals must not try to dissemble the phone.
Phone Precautions!
■Use your phone battery only for its intended purpose, and never
use any battery charger which is damaged or worn out.
■When you unplug your phone from its charger, grasp and pull the
plug, not the power cord.
■Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong
detergents to clean your phone. Wipe it with a soft cloth slightly
dampened in a mild soap-and-water solution.
■Do not attempt to open the casing on your phone or its battery.

7
■Always keep SIM card out of children’s reach.
BATTERY USE
Do not short-circuit the battery terminals. This is dangerous and will damage
the battery, produce heat and may cause a fire.
Never dispose of batteries in a fire as it can cause explosion. Return waste
batteries to your supplier or an approved recycling center. Do not dispose
along with household wastes.
Warning! If the battery case is broken, avoid contact with the contents. Wash
contaminated skin with lots of water and seek medical attention.
Battery Precautions!
■Avoid dropping the cell phone. Dropping it, especially on a hard
surface, can potentially cause damage to the phone and battery. If
you suspect damage to the phone or battery, take it to a service
center for inspection.
■Never use any charger or battery that is damaged in any way.
■Use the battery only for its intended purpose.
■If you use the phone near the network’s base station, it uses less
power; talk and standby time are greatly affected by the signal
strength on the cellular network and the parameters set by the
network operator.
■Battery charging time depends on the remaining battery charge and
the type of battery and charger used. The battery can be charged
and discharged hundreds of times, but it will gradually wear out.
When the operation time (talk time and standby time) is noticeably
shorter than normal, consider purchasing a new battery.
■If left unused, a fully charged battery will fully discharge itself over
time.
■Extreme temperatures will affect the charging capacity of your
battery: it may require cooling or warming first.

8
■Do not leave the battery in hot or cold places, such as in a car in
summer or winter conditions, as it will reduce the capacity and life
of the battery. Always try to keep the battery at room temperature. A
phone with a hot or cold battery may temporarily not work, even
when the battery is fully charged.
■Do not place the phone in areas that may get very hot, such as on
or near a cooking surface, cooking appliance, iron, or radiator.
■Prevent your phone or battery from getting wet. Even though they
will dry and appear to operate normally, the circuitry could slowly
corrode and pose a safety hazard.
■Avoid a battery out of the phone in coming contact with metal
objects, such as coins, keys or jewelry.
ON THE ROAD
Before making or receiving calls acquaint yourself thoroughly with the
applicable local laws and guidelines regarding the use of mobile radio
telephones and always abide by these laws.
Air bags, anti-lock brakes, cruise control and fuel injection systems are
normally immune to radio transmissions but if you come across problems,
please consult you vehicle dealer.
Turn off your mobile phone when refueling or where there are signs restricting
the use of two-way radio equipment. Do not store or carry flammable or
explosive materials in the same compartment as your mobile phone because
internal sparks could cause ignition.
Safety comes first, and is the ultimate responsibility of the driver. Please:
■Give full attention to driving – driving safely is your first
responsibility.
■Use a Hands-free Kit, if available.
■If you have a Hands-free Kit make sure to pre-program numbers
when possible, and keep calls brief and to a minimum.

9
■If you don’t have a Hands-free kit, pull off the road and park your
vehicle before making or answering a call in driving conditions so
require.
ON AN AIRCRAFT
Switch off your mobile phone before boarding an aircraft. Use of mobile phone
is strictly forbidden on an aircraft because of the potential interference with the
telecommunication system. If the plane has not taken off yet, you should ask
the flight crew for permission before you use your phone.
Note! If you have set your phone to Auto Switch ON, please check the Alarm
Clock setting status and the Schedule menu to see the reminding time setting
so that your phone will not power on automatically during the flight.
EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES AND MATERIALS
Turn your phone off and do not remove the battery when in any area with a
potential explosive atmosphere and obey all signs and instructions. You must
observe restrictions on the use of radio equipment in 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, areas
with signs about explosive atmospheres or where blasting operations are in
progress, any other areas where you would normally be advised to turn off
your vehicle engines.
WIRELESS PHONE POSE A HEALTH HARZARD
The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are
associated with using wireless phones. There is no proof, however, that
wireless phones are absolutely safe.
Wireless phones emit low levels of radio frequency energy (RF) in the
microwave range while being used. They also emit very low levels of RF when
in the stand-by mode. Whereas high levels of RF can produce health effects(by
heating tissue), exposure to low level RF that does not produce heating effects

10
causes no known adverse health effects. Many studies of low level RF
exposures have not found any biological effects may occur, but such findings
have not been confirmed by additional research. In some cases, other
researchers have had difficulty in reproducing those studies, or in determining
the reasons for inconsistent results.
NON-IONIZING RADIATION
(Exposure to Radio Frequency Signals)
Your phone is a low power radio transmitter and receiver. When it is on, it
receives and also sends radio frequency (RF) signals. Most modern electronic
equipment is shielded from RF signals. However, certain electronic equipment
may not be shielded against the RF signals from your mobile phone. RF
signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic
systems in motor vehicles. Consult your vehicle manufacturer and the
manufacturer of any equipment that has been added to the vehicle.
CAUTION! Read this information carefully before using your phone
In August 1996 the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the United
States with its action in Report and Order FCC 96-326 adopted an updated
safety standards for human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic
energy emitted by FCC regulated transmitters. Those guidelines are consistent
with the safety standards previously set by both U.S and international
standards parties. The design of this phone complies with the FCC guidelines
ad these international standards.
BODY-WORN OPERATION
This device has been tested for body-worn operation and meets FCC RF
exposure guidelines, and positions the handset at a minimum of 1.5Cm from
the body. Use of any body-worn accessories may not compliance with FCC RF
exposure guidelines.
For more information about RF exposure, please visit the FCC website at

11
www.fcc.gov
The SAR limit of USA (FCC) is 1.6 W/kg averaged over one gram of tissue.
Device types QS150 (FCC ID: T6QQS150) has also been tested against this
SAR limit. The highest SAR value reported under this standard during product
certification for use at the ear is 0.828 W/kg and when properly worn on the
body is 1.048 W/kg. This device was tested for typical body-worn operations
with the back of the handset kept 1.5cm from the body. To maintain compliance
with FCC RF exposure requirements, use accessories that maintain a 1.5cm
separation distance between the user's body and the back of the handset. The
use of belt clips, holsters and similar accessories should not contain metallic
components in its assembly. The use of accessories that do not satisfy these
requirements may not comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, and
should be avoided.
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference,
and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation.

caused by unauthorized modifications to this equipment. Such modifications
could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for
a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits
are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates uses and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and
on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of

12
the following measures:
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
-Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which
the receiver is connected.

○Then sit the battery on the back of the phone until it clicks into
○place.
How to Charge the Battery
○Plug your charger into the main socket first.
○Connect the lead from the charger to the upper side of the phone.
○When the battery is charging, the icon on the upper right corner
which indicates the battery charge level will flash in cycle. If the

19
phone has powered off, a charging screen will show that the battery
is charging now. You have to wait for some time before the charging
icon appears on the screen if your phone is overused.
○When the bars in the icon are fully filled and has stopped flashing, it
tells you that the battery has been fully charged. If the phone has
powered off, the screen will tell you verbally that the charging has
finished. Generally, it takes 2~3 hours to fully charge the battery.
Normally, the battery, the phone and the charger might get heated
in the process.
○Release the charger from the power socket and the phone.
○Warning! Charge the battery in a well-ventilated area between 0°C
~ 40°C . You must only use the supplied charger. Unauthorized
charger might result in danger and any malfunction or damage
caused by the use of unapproved charger will void the product
warranty and it will not be acknowledged by the manufacturer.
Battery Use
○It is highly recommended that you recharge your battery when your
phone powers off automatically or when the screen says
“Inadequate Battery”. If you recharge the battery before it is fully
discharged, the phone will make some adjustment automatically
and complete the charging in less time.
○The talk time and standby time suggested by the supplier is
measured in an ideal operating environment. Practically, the time
may vary with the state of the network, operating environment and
the way it is used.
NETWORK LINKING
SIM Card
○Your network service provider will offer you a SIM (subscriber
identity module) card, which is inserted into your phone. It is the key
to the digital GSM network. You should install a valid SIM card in

20
place before you start to use your phone. Information about network
linking and your call record together with your Contacts and SMS is
all saved in SIM card. It can be applicable to all GSM linking
phones. A new phone will read the data stored automatically.
○Do not touch the gold contacts of SIM card in case the data might
get lost or damaged. Avoid placing it near areas where there is a
magnetic or electric field. Once the card is damaged, you will not be
able to link to the GSM network by it.
○Warning! Switch the phone off before you remove the SIM card
from the phone. You may damage the card if you try to insert it into
the phone or remove it from the phone when your phone is
connected to external power.
Insert and Remove the SIM Card
○The SIM card is usually embedded in a sheet card. You should first
take it off the card before you assemble it to the phone.
○Switch the phone off. Then remove the battery and pull it away from
external power socket.
○Insert the SIM card under the SIM card holder.
○When you need to remove the SIM card, you should first switch off
the phone, remove the battery and take it away from under the SIM
