Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of the advanced
and compact MG120 mobile phone, designed to
operate with the latest digital mobile communication
technology.
This user’s guide contains important information
on the use and operation of this phone. Please
read all the information carefully for optimal
performance and to prevent any damage to or
misuse of the phone. Any changes or
modifications not expressly approved in this
user’s guide could void your warranty for this
equipment.

• The unit should be kept away from heat sources
such as radiators or cookers.
• Never place your phone in a microwave oven as it
will cause battery to explode.
• Do not drop.
• Do not subject this unit to mechanical vibration or
shock.
• The coating of the phone may be damaged if covered
with wrap or vinyl wrapper.
• Do not use harsh chemicals (such as alcohol,
benzene, thinners, etc.) or detergents to clean your
phone. There is a risk of this causing a fire.
• Do not subject this unit to excessive smoke or dust.
• Do not keep the phone next to credit cards or
transport tickets; it can affect the information on the
magnetic strips.
• Do not tap the screen with a sharp object as it may
damage the phone.
• Do not expose the phone to liquid or moisture.
• Use accessories, such as earphones and headsets,
with caution. Ensure that cables are tucked away
safely and do not touch the antenna unnecessarily.
• Please remove the data cable before powering on
the handset.
Efficient phone operation
To enjoy optimum performance with minimum power
consumption please:
• Do not hold the antenna when the phone is in use. If
you hold it, it can affect call quality, it may also
cause the phone to operate at a higher power level
than needed and shorten talk and standby times.
Electronic devices
All mobile phones may get interference, which could
affect performance.
• Do not use your mobile phone near medical
equipment without requesting permission. Avoid
placing the phone over pacemakers (i.e. in your
breast pocket.)
• Some hearing aids might be disturbed by mobile
phones.
Guidelines for safe and efficient use
8

• Minor interference may affect TVs, radios, PCs, etc.
Road safety
Check the laws and regulations on the use of mobile
phones in the areas when you drive.
• Do not use a hand-held phone while driving.
• Give full attention to driving.
• Use a hands-free kit, if available.
• Pull off the road and park before making or
answering a call if driving conditions so require.
• RF energy may affect some electronic systems in
your motor vehicle such as a car stereo or safety
equipment.
• If your vehicle is equipped with an air bag, do not
obstruct it with installed or portable wireless
equipment. It can cause serious injury due to
improper performance.
If you are listening to music whilst out and about,
please ensure that the volume is at a reasonable level
so that you are aware of your surroundings. This is
particularly imperative when attempting to cross the
street.
Avoid damage to your hearing
• Damage to your hearing can occur if you are
exposed to loud sound for long periods of time. We
therefore recommend that you do not turn on or off
the handset close to your ear. We also recommend
that music and call volumes are set to a reasonable
level.
