Safety Warnings
Read the following safety warnings before using
your smartphone.
• This equipment is intended for use with
power supplied from supplied battery
charger(s) and/or power supply unit(s). Other
usage will invalidate any certification given
to this product and may be dangerous.
• Switch off your cell phone when in an
aircraft. Use of cell phones in an aircraft may
be dangerous to the operation of the aircraft,
could disrupt cellular networks, and may be
illegal. Failure to observe this instruction may
lead to suspension or denial of cell phone
services to the offender, legal action, or both.
• Do not use the cell phone or cell phone
equipment when at a refueling point or gas
station.
• Observe restrictions on the use of radio
equipment in fuel depots, gas stations,
chemical plants, or where blasting
operations are in progress.
• When driving a vehicle, you MUST exercise
proper control of the vehicle at all times.
Observe the following safety precautions
when driving:
– Do not use a hand-held telephone or
microphone while you are driving.
– When driving, find a safe place to stop
the vehicle before using the phone.
– Do not speak into a hands-free
microphone if it will distract you from
driving.

Before Using Your Smartphone
11
– You MUST NOT stop on the hard
shoulder of a motorway to answer or
make a call, except in an emergency.
NOTE: In some areas where electric current
is known to fluctuate, it is recommended that
you plug the charger to an AVR (AC Voltage
Regulator) instead of a direct connection to
a power outlet. Fluctuations in the electric
current may damage the charger and/or the
device.
General Statement on RF Energy
Your phone has a transmitter and a receiver. When
the phone is on, it receives and transmits radio
frequency (RF) energy. When you communicate
with your phone, the system handling your call
controls the power level at which your phone
transmits RF energy.
Proper Disposal
The symbol of the crossed out bin
indicates that the product
(electrical and electronic
equipment) should not be placed
in municipal waste. Please check
local regulations for disposal of
electronic products.
IEEE 1725
1Do not disassemble or open crush, bend or
deform, puncture or shred.
2Do not modify or remanufacture, attempt to
insert foreign objects into the battery,
immerse or expose to water or other liquids,
expose to fire, explosion or other hazard.
3Only use the battery for the system for which
it is specified.

Before Using Your Smartphone
12
4Only use the battery with a charging system
that has been qualified with the system per
this standard. Use of an unqualified battery
or charger may present a risk of fire,
explosion, leakage, or other hazard.
5Do not short circuit a battery or allow
metallic conductive objects to contact
battery terminals.
6Replace the battery only with another battery
that has been qualified with the system per
this standard, IEEE-Std-1725-2006. Use of an
unqualified battery may present a risk of fire,
explosion, leakage or other hazard.
7Promptly dispose of used batteries in
accordance with local regulations
8Battery usage by children should be
supervised.
9Avoid dropping the phone or battery. If the
phone or battery is dropped, especially on a
hard surface, and the user suspects damage,
take it to a service center for inspection.
10 Improper battery use may result in a fire,
explosion or other hazard.
11 For those host devices that utilize a USB port
as a charging source, the host device's user
manual shall include a statement that the
phone shall only be connected to products
that bear the USB-IF logo or have completed
the USB-IF compliance program.
FCC
FCC Warning
You are cautioned that changes or modifications
not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void your authority to operate the
equipment.
Cautions
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 standard for human exposure to
radio frequency electromagnetic energy emitted by
FCC regulated transmitters. Those guidelines are
consistent with the safety standard previously set
by both U.S. and international standards bodies.

Before Using Your Smartphone
13
The design of this phone complies with the FCC
guidelines and these international standards. Use
only the supplied or an approved antenna.
Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or
attachments could impair call quality, damage the
phone, or result in violation of FCC regulations. Do
not use the phone with a damaged antenna. If a
damaged antenna comes into contact with the skin,
a minor burn may result. Please contact your local
dealer for replacement antenna.
Body-worn operation
This device was tested for typical body-worn
operations with the back of the phone kept 1.5cm
from the body. To maintain compliance with FCC RF
exposure requirements, use only belt-clips, holsters
or similar accessories that maintain a 2.0cm
separation distance between the user’s body and
the back of the phone, including the antenna. 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.
FCC ID: E2KV01B001
SAR: X.XX W/kg over 1g (Not complete test)
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.
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

Before Using Your Smartphone
14
on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following
measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. -
Increase the separation between the
equipment and receiver.
