For Your Safety
General Safety
Don’t make or receive
handheld calls while driving.
And never text while driving.
Don’t use at petrol
stations.
Keep your phone at least
15mm away from your ear
or body while making calls.
Your phone may
produce a bright or
flashing light.
Small parts may cause a
choking.
Don’t dispose of your
phone in fire.
Your phone can produce a
loud sound.
Avoid contact with
anything magnetic.
Keep away from
pacemakers and other
electronic medical devices.
Avoid extreme
temperatures.

15
Switch off when asked to in
hospitals and medical
facilities.
Avoid contact with
liquids. Keep your
phone dry.
Switch off when told to in
aircrafts and airports.
Don’t take your phone
apart.
Switch off when near
explosive materials or
liquids.
Only use approved
accessories.
Don’t rely on your phone for emergency communications.
Radio Frequency (RF) Exposure
General Statement on RF Energy
Your phone contains a transmitter and a receiver. When it is ON, it receives
and transmits RF energy. When you communicate with your phone, the
system handling your call controls the power level at which your phone
transmits.

16
Body Worn Operation
Important safety information regarding radio frequency radiation (RF)
exposure:
To ensure compliance with RF exposure guidelines the phone must be used
with a minimum of 15 mm separation from the body.
Failure to observe these instructions could result in your RF exposure
exceeding the relevant guideline limits.
Limiting Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) Fields
For individuals concerned about limiting their exposure to RF fields, the World
Health Organization (WHO) provides the following advice:
Precautionary measures: Present scientific information does not indicate
the need for any special precautions for the use of mobile phones. If
individuals are concerned, they might choose to limit their own or their
children’s RF exposure by limiting the length of calls, or using ‘hands-free’
devices to keep mobile phones away from the head and body.
Further information on this subject can be obtained from the WHO home
page http://www.who.int/peh-emf WHO Fact sheet 193: June 2000.

17
Distraction
Driving
Full attention must be given to driving at all times in order to reduce the risk
of an accident. Using a phone while driving (even with a hands free kit) can
cause distraction and lead to an accident. You must comply with local laws
and regulations restricting the use of wireless devices while driving.
Operating Machinery
Full attention must be given to operating the machinery in order to reduce
the risk of an accident.
Product Handling
General Statement on Handling and Use
You alone are responsible for how you use your phone and any
consequences of its use.
You must always switch off your phone wherever the use of a phone is
prohibited. Use of your phone is subject to safety measures designed to
protect users and their environment.

18
Always treat your phone and its accessories with care and keep it in a
clean and dust-free place.
Do not expose your phone or its accessories to open flames or lit tobacco
products.
Do not expose your phone or its accessories to liquid, moisture or high
humidity.
Do not drop, throw or try to bend your phone or its accessories.
Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or aerosols to clean
the device or its accessories.
Do not paint your phone or its accessories.
Do not attempt to disassemble your phone or its accessories, only
authorized personnel must do so.
Do not expose your phone or its accessories to extreme temperatures,
minimum - [5] and maximum + [50] degrees Celsius.
Please check local regulations for disposal of electronic products.
Do not carry your phone in your back pocket as it could break when you
sit down.

19
Small Children
Do not leave your phone and its accessories within the reach of small
children or allow them to play with it.
They could hurt themselves or others, or could accidentally damage the phone.
Your phone contains small parts with sharp edges that may cause an injury
or may become detached and create a choking hazard.
Demagnetization
To avoid the risk of demagnetization, do not allow electronic devices or
magnetic media close to your phone for a long time.
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
Do not touch the UIM card’s metal connectors.
Antenna
Do not touch the antenna unnecessarily.
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)
Your mobile device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed not to
exceed the limits for exposure to radio waves recommended by international

20
guidelines. These guidelines were developed by the independent scientific
organization ICNIRP and include safety margins designed to assure the
protection of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The guidelines use a unit of measurement known as Specific Absorption
Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit for mobile devices is 2 W/kg and the highest
SAR value for this device when tested at the ear was 0.862 W/kg*. As mobile
devices offer a range of functions, they can be used in other positions, such
as on the body as described in this user guide**.
As SAR is measured utilizing the device's highest transmitting power, the
actual SAR of this device while operating is typically below that indicated
above. This is due to automatic changes to the power level of the device to
ensure it only uses the minimum power required to communicate with the
network.
* Please see body-worn operation.
Normal Use Position
When placing or receiving a phone call, hold your phone to your ear, with the
bottom towards your mouth.
