Important safety precautions
This section contains important information on the safe and efficient
operation of your mobile device. For your safety, please refer to the
guideline prior to using the phone.
Note: Failure to comply with the following precautions may be
dangerous or illegal.
Drive safely at all times
Do not use a hand-held phone while driving. Park the vehicle first.
Switch off the phone when refueling
Do not use the phone at a refueling point (service station) or near fuels
or chemicals.
Switch off in an aircraft
Wireless phones can cause interference. Using them in an aircraft is
both illegal and dangerous.
Switch off the phone near all medical equipment
Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment that could be
sensitive to external radio frequency energy. Follow any regulations or
rules in force.
Interference
All wireless phones may be subject to interference, which could affect
their performance.
Be aware of special regulations
Meet any special regulations in force in any area and always switch off
your phone whenever it is forbidden to use it, or when it may cause
interference or danger.
Water resistance
Your phone is not water-resistant. Keep it dry.
Sensible use

4
Use only in the normal position (held to the ear). Avoid unnecessary
contact with the antenna when the phone is switched on.
Keep your phone away from small children
Keep the phone and all its parts, including accessories, out of the
reach of small children.
Accessories and batteries
Use only approved batteries and accessories, such as headsets and
PC data cables. Use of any unauthorized accessories could damage
you and your phone and may be dangerous.
If jewelry, keys, beaded chains, or other conductive materials touch
exposed battery terminals, this could complete an electrical circuit
(short circuit), become very hot, and could cause damage or injury. Be
careful when handling a charged battery, particularly when placing it
inside a pocket, purse, or other container with metal objects.
Never use a 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, the
type of battery, and the charger used. The battery can be charged
and discharged hundreds of times, but it will gradually wear out.
When the operation time is noticeably shorter than normal, it is time
to buy a new battery.
If left unused, a fully charged battery will discharge itself over time.
Use only approved batteries, and recharges your battery only
approved chargers. Disconnect the charger from the power source
when it is not in use. Do not leave the battery connected to a
charger for more than a week, since overcharging may shorten its
life.

5
Extreme temperatures will affect the charging capacity of your
battery: it may require cooling or warming first.
Do not leave the battery in hot or cold places because the capacity
and lifetime of the battery will be reduced. Try to keep the battery at
room temperature. A phone with a hot or cold battery may not work
temporarily, even when the battery is fully charged.
Do not short-circuit the battery. Accidental short-circuiting can occur
when a metallic object like a coin, clip or pen causes a direct
connection between the + and – terminals of the battery (metal
strips on the battery). For example, do not carry a spare battery in a
pocket or bag where the battery may contact metal objects. Short-
circuiting the terminals may damage the battery or the object
causing the short-circuiting.
Dispose of used batteries in accordance with local regulations.
Always recycle. Do not dispose of batteries in a fire.
Road safety
Your wireless phone gives you the powerful ability to communicate by
voice, almost anywhere, anytime. But an important responsibility
accompanies the benefits of wireless phones, one that every user must
uphold. When driving a car, driving is your first responsibility. When
using your wireless phone while driving, follow local regulations in the
country or region you are in.
Operating Environment
Remember to follow any special regulations in force in the area you are
in, and always switch off your phone whenever it is forbidden to use it,
or when it may cause interference or danger. When connecting the
phone or any accessory to another device, read its user’s guide for
detailed safety instructions. Do not connect incompatible products.
As with other mobile radio transmitting equipment, users are advised
that for the satisfactory operation of the equipment and for the safety of
personnel, it is recommended that the equipment should only be used

6
in the normal operating position (held to your ear with the antenna
pointing over your shoulder).
Electronic devices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from radio frequency
(RF) signals. However, certain electronic equipment may not be
shielded against the RF signals from your wireless phone. Consult the
manufacturer to discuss alternatives.
Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum distance of 15
cm (6 inches) be maintained between a wireless phone and a
pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. These
recommendations are consistent with the independent research and
recommendations of Wireless Technology Research. If you have any
reason to suspect that interference is taking place, switch you’re your
phone immediately.
Hearing aids
Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In
the event of such interference, you may wish to consult your hearing
aid manufacturer to discuss alternatives.
Radio frequency (RF) exposure and SAR
This phone meets European Union (EU) requirements concerning
exposure to radio waves. Your mobile phone is a radio transmitter and
receiver. It is designed and manufactured to not exceed the limits for
exposure to radiofrequency (RF) energy, as recommended by the EU
Council. These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and
establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The
guidelines were developed by independent scientific organizations
through the periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The
limits include a substantial safety margin designed to ensure the safety
of all persons, regardless of age and health. The exposure standard for
mobile phones employs a unit of measurement known as Specific

7
Absorption Rate (SAR).
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) is the unit of measurement for the
amount of radio frequency energy absorbed by the body when using a
mobile phone. The SAR value is determined at the highest certified
power level in laboratory conditions, but the actual SAR level of the
mobile phone while it is operating can be well below this value. This is
because the mobile phone is designed to use the minimum power
required to reach the network. Variations in SAR below the radio
frequency exposure guidelines do not mean that there are variations in
safety. While there may be differences in SAR levels among mobile
phones, all mobile phone models are designed to meet radio frequency
exposure guidelines. Before a phone model is available for sale to the
public, it must be tested and certified by the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) that it does not exceed the limit established by the
government-adopted requirement for safe exposure. The tests are
performed in positions and locations (that is, at the ear and worn on the
body) as required by the FCC for each model. For body-worn operation,
this phone has been tested and meets FCC RF exposure guidelines
when the handset is positioned a minimum of 15 mm from the body
without any metal parts in the vicinity of the phone or when used with
the original accessory intended for this phone and worn on the body.
Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF
exposure guidelines.
The SAR limit recommended by the EU Council is 2.0W/kgA
The highest SAR value for this model phone was 0.672 W/kg.
SAR tests are conducted using standard operating positions with the
phone transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested
frequency bands.
-------------------------------------------------------------
A. The SAR limit for mobile phones used by the public is 2.0
watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged over ten grams of body tissue.

8
The limit incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give
additional protection for the public and to account for any
variations in measurements. The SAR values may vary,
depending on national reporting requirements and the network
band.
SIM AT Service
SIM Card provides several value-added services.
These functions will only display and work on the menu of the phone
when your SIM card is supported. The content and the terms of the
function lists will depend on your network service provider.
Please contact your network service provider (a network operator or
the service provider) in regards with availability of any services related
to the SIM card, application information and the costs.
Other medical devices
If you use any other personal medical devices, consult the
manufacturer of your device to determine if it is adequately shielded
from external RF energy. Your physician may be able to assist you in
obtaining this information. Switch off your phone in health care facilities
when regulations posted in these areas instruct you to do so.
Vehicles
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded
electronic systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or
its representative regarding your vehicle. You should also consult the
manufacturer of any equipment that has been added to your vehicle.
Posted facilities
Switch off your phone in any facility where posted notices require you
to do so.
Potentially explosive environments
Switch off your phone when in any area with a potentially explosive
atmosphere, and obey all signs and instructions. Sparks in such areas
could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.

9
Users are advised to switch off the phone while at a refueling point
(service station). Users are reminded of the need to observe
restrictions on the use of radio equipment in fuel depots (fuel storage
and distribution areas), chemical plants, or where blasting operations
are in progress. Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are
often but not always clearly marked. They include the areas below
decks on boats, chemical transfer or storage facilities, vehicles using
liquefied petroleum gas, such as propane or butane, areas where the
air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust or metal
powders, and any other area where you would normally be advised to
turn off your vehicle engine.
Emergency calls
This phone, like any wireless phone, operates using radio signals,
wireless, and landline networks as well as user-programmed functions,
which cannot guarantee connection in all conditions. Therefore, you
should never rely solely on any wireless phone for essential
communications like medical emergencies. To make or receive calls,
the phone must be switched on and in a service area with adequate
signal strength. Emergency calls may not be possible on all wireless
phone networks or when certain network services and/or phone
features are in use. Check with local service providers.
To make an emergency call:
1. Key in the emergency number for your present location. Emergency
numbers may vary by location.
2. Press the Send Key.
3. Inform your location. Do not end the call until given permission to do
so.
Certain features like Call Barring may need to be deactivated before
you can make an emergency call. Consult this document and your local
cellular service provider.
