Warnings and Precautions
This section contains important information pertaining to
the operating instructions of your device. It also contains
information about how to use the mobile safely. Read this
information carefully before using your device.
Electronic Device
Power off your device if using the device is prohibited.
Do not use the device when it causes danger or interference
with electronic devices.
Medical Device
zPower off your device and follow the rules and
regulations set forth by the hospitals and health care
facilities.
zPacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum
distance of 15 cm be maintained between a device and a
pacemaker to prevent potential interference with the
pacemaker. If you are using a pacemaker, use the device
on the opposite side of the pacemaker and do not carry
the device in your front pocket.
zSome wireless devices may affect the performance of the
hearing aids. For any such problems, consult your service
provider.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Switch off your device in any area with a potentially
explosive atmosphere, and comply with all signs and
instructions. Areas that may have potentially explosive
atmospheres include the areas where you would normally be

14
advised to turn off your vehicle engine. Triggering of
sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire,
resulting in bodily injuries or even deaths. Do not switch
on the device at refueling points such as service stations.
Comply with restrictions on the use of radio equipment in
fuel depots, storage, and distribution areas, and chemical
plants. Also, adhere to restrictions in areas where
blasting operations are in progress. Before using the
device, watch out for areas that have potentially explosive
atmosphere that are often, but not always, clearly marked.
Such locations include areas below the deck on boats,
chemical transfer or storage facilities and areas where the
air contains chemicals or particles such as grain, dust,
or metal powders. Ask the manufacturers of vehicles using
liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane) if this
device can be safely used in their vicinity.
Traffic Security
Observe local laws and regulations while using the device.
Also, if using the device while driving a vehicle, please
comply with the following guidelines:
zConcentrate on driving. Your first responsibility is to
drive safely.
zDo not talk on the device while driving. Use hands-free
accessories.
zWhen you have to make or answer a call, park the vehicle
at the road side before using your device.
zRF signals may affect electronic systems of motor
vehicles. For more information, consult the vehicle
manufacturer.

15
zIn a motor vehicle, do not place the device over the air
bag or in the air bag deployment area. Otherwise, the
device may hurt you owing to the strong force when the
air bag inflates.
zDo not use your device while flying in an aircraft. Switch
off your device before boarding an aircraft. Using
wireless devices in an aircraft may be dangerous to the
operation of the aircraft, disrupt the wireless
telephone network, and may be considered illegal.
Operating Environment
zDo not use or charge the device in dusty, damp or dirty
places or places with magnetic fields. Otherwise, the
circuit may not function properly.
zThe device complies with the RF specifications when the
device is used near your ear or at a distance of 1.5 cm
from your body. Ensure that the device accessories such
as a device case and a device holster are not composed
of metal components. Keep your device 1.5 cm away from
your body to meet the requirement earlier mentioned.
zOn a thunder and stormy day, do not use your device when
it is being charged, to prevent any danger caused by
lightning.
zWhen you are on a call, do not touch the antenna. Touching
the antenna affects the call quality and results in
increase in power consumption. As a result, the talk time
and standby time are reduced.
zWhile using the device, observe the local laws and
regulations, and respect others' privacy and legal
rights.

16
zUse accessories authorized by manufacturers. Using
unauthorized accessories will render the warranty null
and void.
zKeep the ambient temperature between 0°C and 55°C while
the device is being charged. Keep the ambient temperature
between -10°C to 55°C for using the device powered by
battery.
Preventing Hearing Damage
Using the receiver, earbuds, headphones, speakerphone, or
earpieces at high volume can result in permanent hearing
loss. Be extremely careful when listening at high decibel
levels. Set the volume to a safe level. If you experience
strange sounds in your ears like ringing or if you hear
muffled speech, get your hearing checked. If you continue
to use high volume, your hearing will soon get affected.
Hearing experts offer the following suggestions to protect
your hearing:
zReduce the time you use the receiver, earbuds, headphones,
speakerphone, or earpieces at high volume.
zDo not increase the volume to block noisy surroundings.
zReduce the volume if you can’t hear people speaking near
you.
Safety of Children
Please comply with all precautions with regard to
children's safety. Letting the child play with your device
or its accessories, which may include parts that can be
detached from the device, may prove dangerous, as it may

17
present a choking hazard. Make sure that small children are
kept away from the device and accessories.
Environment Protection
Follow all the local regulations regarding the disposal of
your devices or electrical accessories (such as chargers,
headsets, or batteries). Recycle them. Do not dispose of
an exhausted battery or a used device in a garbage can.
Accessories
Use only the accessories, such as the charger, battery, and
headset, delivered by manufacturer. Using accessories of
other manufacturers or vendors with this device model might
invalidate any approval or warranty applicable to the
device, might result in the non-operation of the device,
and might be dangerous.
Battery and Charger
zThe battery can be charged and discharged hundreds of
times before it eventually wears out. When the standby
time and talk time are shorter than normal, replace the
battery.
zUse the AC power supply defined in the specifications of
the charger. An improper power voltage may cause fire or
the charger may not function properly.
zDo not connect two poles of the battery with conductors
such as metal materials, keys or jewelries. Otherwise,
the battery may be short-circuiting and may cause
injuries and burns on your body.
