Important Information
This user’s guide contains important information about the use and operation of this phone. Read all
information carefully for optimal performance and to avoid any damage or misuse of the phone. Any changes or
modifications not expressly approved in this user’s guide could void your warranty for this equipment.
Before you begin
Safety Guidelines
WARNING! To reduce the possibility of electric shock, do not expose your product
to high humidity areas, such as bathroom or swimming pool.
Keep the phone away from heat. Never store your phone in environment that may expose it to temperatures
below 0°C or above 40°C, such as outdoor during snowstorm, or in your car in hot days. Exposure to cold or
heat will result in malfunction, damage or permanent failure. Be careful when using your phone near other
electronic devices. The RF emissions from mobile phones may affect nearby electronic equipment that not
adequately shielded. You should consult manufacturers of any personal medical devices, as in the case of
pacemakers and hearing aides, to determine whether they are susceptible to interference from cell phones.
Turn off your phone in medical facilities or at gas stations. Never place your phone in microwaves, as it will cause
the battery to explode.
Important! Before using your phone, please read the SAFETY INFORMATION OF THE
TELECOMMUNICATIONS INDUSTRY ASSOCIATION (TIA).
Safety Information
Read these simple guidelines. Breaking the rules may be illegal or dangerous.

Information about the RF exposure from FCC
WARNING! Read this information before operating the 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 standard for human exposure to radio frequency (RF)
electromagnetic
energy emitted by FCC regulated transmitters. Those guidelines are consistent with the safety standard
previously set by both international and U.S. standards.
The highest SAR value for this phone FCC tested for use in the ear is 0.00 W/kg, and when worn on the body is
0.00 W/kg.
The design of this phone complies with FCC guidelines and these international standards.
Caution
Use only the supplied antenna. Use of unauthorized antennas, or modifications, could impair call quality, damage
the phone, void your warranty, or result in a violation of FCC regulations.
Do not use the phone with a damaged antenna.
A damaged antenna in contact with the skin could cause a singe. Contact your local dealer for an antenna
replacement.
Body effects
This device was tested for typical body operation, keeping a distance of 1 cm (0.39 inch) between the user's
body and the back of the phone. To comply with RF exposure requirements of the FCC standards, a minimum
distance of 1 cm (0.39 inch) between the user's body and the back of the phone is required.
Belt-clips, holsters, and similar accessories containing metallic components from others manufacturers should
not be used.
Accessories worn close to the body, without keeping a minimum distance of 1 cm (0.39 inch) between the
user's body and the back of the phone, and that have not been tested for typical body operation, may not comply
with FCC's RF exposure limits and should be avoided.
0.35
0.92

8
External antenna mounted on the vehicle (optional, if
available)
It must keep a minimum distance of 20 cm (8 inches) between the user / bystander and the vehicle mounted
external antenna, in order to satisfy FCC's RF exposure requirements.
For more information about RF exposure, visit the FCC Website at www.fcc.gov
Class B Compliance under article 15 of the FCC
This device and its accessories comply with Article 15 of the FCC rules.
5IFPQFSBUJPOJTTVCKFDUUPUIFGPMMPXJOHDPOEJUJPOT
(1) This device, and its accessories, will not cause harmful interference and (2) this device and its accessories

TIA's Safety Information
This includes complete security information on wireless phones from TIA (Telecommunications Industry
Association).
It's required, for CTIA Certification, the inclusion in the user manual of text covering pacemakers, hearing aids
and other medical devices. It's encouraged the use of the remaining TIA language when relevant.
Exposure to Radio Frequency Signal
Your wireless handheld portable telephone is a lowpower radio transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it receives
and also sends out radio frequency (RF) signals.
In August, 1996, the Federal Communications Commissions (FCC) adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety
levels for handheld wireless phones. Those guidelines are consistent with the safety standards previously set by
CPUI64BOEJOUFSOBUJPOBMTUBOEBSETCPEJFT
ANSI C95.1 (1992) *
NCRP Report 86 (1986)
ICNIRP (1996)
Those standards were based on comprehensive and periodic evaluations of the relevant scientific literature. For
example, over 120 scientists, engineers, and physicians from universities, government health agencies, and
industry reviewed the available body of research to develop
the ANSI Standard (C95.1).
* American National Standards Institute; National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements;
International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection.
The design of your phone complies with the FCC guidelines (and those standards).
Antenna Care
Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or
attachments could damage the phone and may violate FCC regulations.
Phone Operation
NORMAL POSITION: Hold the phone as you would any other telephone with the antenna pointed up and over
your shoulder.

Electronic Devices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF signals.
However, certain electronic equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals from your wireless phone.
Pacemaker
The Medical Industry Manufacturers Association recommends a minimum distance of fifteen (15) centimeters,
or six (6) inches, between a handheld wireless phone and a pacemaker, in order to avoid potential interference
between them.
These advices are consistent with independent researches, and with recommendations based on wireless
technology research.

Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of such interference, we
recommend that you contact your service provider.
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical devices, consult your device manufacturer to determine if they are
adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your doctor can help you obtain this information.
Health Care Facilities
Turn off your phone in health care facilities, whenever there are signs asking you to do so. Hospitals or health
care facilities may use equipment that could be sensitive to external RF energy.
Vehicles
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded devices in motor vehicles.
Check with the manufacturer, or its representative, regarding your vehicle.
You should also consult the manufacturer about any equipment that has been added to your vehicle.
Facilities with signs
Turn off the phone in any facility where warning signs request you to do so.
Airplanes
FCC regulations prohibit the use of phones while in the air. Turn off your phone before boarding an airplane.
Blasting Areas
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your phone off when in a 'blasting area' or in areas with signs

Potentially Explosive Atmosphere
Turn off the phone when in an area with a potentially explosive atmosphere, and obey all signs and instructions.
Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire that could result in personal injury or death.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often clearly marked, but not always. Among the potentially
EBOHFSPVTBSFBTBSF
Fueling areas (such as gas stations), areas below deck on boats, facilities where chemical products are
transferred or stored, vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (as propane or butane), areas where the air contains
chemicals or particles (such as grain, dust or metal powders), and any other areas where you would normally be
advised to turn off your vehicle engine.
For vehicles equipped with air bags
Air bags inflate with strong force. Do not place objects in the area over the air bag or in its deployment area,
including wireless equipment, either installed or portable.
Serious injuries could occur if wireless equipment is improperly installed into the car when the air bag inflates.
Safety Information
Read and observe the following information for the safe and proper use of your phone, and to prevent any
damage.
Also, keep the user's guide in an accessible place at all times after reading it.

enter your unlock pattern, PIN or password. If you have used all 5 opportunities, you can

If you have not created a Google account on the phone or you forgot Backup PIN, you have to perform a hard
reset.
< If you have forgotten your PIN or Password >
