Who is ORA-ÏTO ?
Despite his deceptively exotic-sounding name, he is not Japanese, but French. ORA-ÏTO is
the self-taught designer with an interest in everything, who had just turned 20 when, in 1998,
he created the first-ever virtual brand. With the brilliant forcefulness of a lightning-bolt, the
iconoclastic artist won a name for himself world-wide by pirating the leading brands. Like a
born-again Andy Warhol, he parodied the consumer society, using branded objects with
emblematic designs.
His virtual prototypes rapidly pervaded the media, and were soon exhibited in
contemporary-art galleries and museums… Projected to the fore on the international scene,
he was then engaged on a multiplicity of assignments in collaboration with the most
prestigious names, including L'Oréal, Vogue magazine, Heineken, Adidas, Kenzo, the AIR
Group, Honda, Guerlain, Swatch and Nike.
Supported by a keen-brained team of specialists in architecture, graphics and
communication, he designs both mass-market products in all areas, and luxury products; he
produces Internet sites and animation films; he designs spaces to be lived in, and both public
and private commercial spaces.
His specialism? As it happens, to be unconfined by specialisation! As a multi-specialist, he
looks with an ever-new eye on the universe that confronts him. Using boldly-irreverent ideas
to overturn the established codes, these unprecedented, and therefore media-grabbing,
creations have made Ora-Ïto the most sought-after designer of his generation.
More about ORA-ÏTO ?
ORA-ÏTO is the youngest designer ever to have been
included in the exclusive, jealously-guarded catalogue of the
Capellini contemporary-furniture specialist publishing house.
The ora-ito.com website visited by over 200 000 visitors a
month was the first website and the second digital work
acquired for the collection of the French National
Contemporary Art Centre.
The winner in 2001 of an award from Dazed & Confused
magazine, in 2002 ORA-ÏTO received the best packaging
Oscar for his Heineken aluminium can distributed throughout
the world today.
In 2003, he put the finishing touches to the Cab. place du
Palais Royal in Paris, the largest Parisian club to which he
set his signature with the graphic identity, architecture,
furniture and decors.
In 2004, in more than 20 countries, ORA-ÏTO launched the 3
perfume for Adidas, a men's and women's fragrance that has
already received 5 international product-design and
packaging-innovation awards.
For the world's most prestigious interior lighting name,
Artemide, he designed a collection of lamps that won much
acclaim at the Milan furniture fair in 2004.

Safety Information for Wireless handled phones
Use of your phone is subject to safety rules designed to protect the user and his or her environment.
Exposure to Radio Frequency Signals
- Your wireless handheld portable phone is a low power radio transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it receives and also
sends out 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 both U.S. and
international standards bodies:
ANSI C95.1 (1992) (*)
NCPR 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).
- The design of your phone complies with the FCC guidelines (and those standards).
- For body worn operation, this phone has been tested and meets FCC RF exposure guidelines when used with an accessory
that contains no metal and that positions the handset a minimum of 1.5 cm from the body.
Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines.
Phone Operation
- Normal position: hold the phone as you would any other phone with the upper zone (back of the LCD display) pointed up and
over your shoulder.
- Tips on efficient operation: for your phone to operate most efficiently: do not touch cover unnecessarily the top part of the
phone with your hand. This would cover the integrated antenna and affect call quality and may cause the phone to operate
at a higher power level than otherwise needed.
Driving
- Check the laws and regulations on the use of wireless phones in the areas where you drive. Always obey them. Also, if using
your phone while driving while driving please:
• Give full attention of driving, driving safely is your first responsibility
• Use hands-free operation, if available
• Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving conditions so require.

Safety Information for Wireless handled phones
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.
- Some phone accessories allow to reduce the radiation interferences of the phone. Please contact your distributor.
Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum separation of six (6”) inches be maintained
between a handheld wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. These
recommendations are consistent with the independent research by and recommendations of Wireless Technology Research.
Persons with pacemakers:
- Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than six inches from their pacemaker when the phone is turned ON
- Should not carry the phone in the breast pocket
- Should use the ear opposite to the pacemaker to minimize the potential for interference
- If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, turn your phone OFF immediately.
Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of such interference, you may want to consult
your service provider.
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of your device to determine if they are adequately
shielded from external RF energy. Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this information.
Turn your phone OFF in health care facilities when any regulations posted in these areas instruct you to do so.
Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment that could be sensitive to sensitive external RF energy.
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
Turn your phone OFF in any facility where posted notices so require.
Aircraft
FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while in the air. Switch OFF your phone before boarding an aircraft.
Blasting Areas
To avoid any interfering with blasting operations, turn your phone OFF when in a “blasting area” or in areas posted: “Turn off
two-way radio”. Obey all signs and instructions.

Safety Information for Wireless handled phones
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
- Turn your phone OFF 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.
- Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often but not always clearly marked. They include fueling areas such as
gasoline stations; below deck on boats, fuel or 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.
For Vehicles equipped with Air Bag
An air bag inflates with great force. DO NOT place objects, including both installed or portable wireless equipment, in the area
over the air bag or in the air bag deployment area. If in-vehicle wireless equipment is improperly installed and the air bag inflates,
serious injury could result.
Electrical Safety
- Only us the appropriate chargers recommended in the manufacturer’s catalog. Using another charger may prove dangerous
and could invalidate the warranty of your phone.
- The main power socket should be easily accessible.
- Make sure that the main voltage corresponds to the level marked on the charger identification plate.
General Precautions
- Do not try to open your phone and repair it yourself. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for any resulting damage.
- Any work done by an unqualified and unauthorized person will invalidate your warranty.
- Do not use your phone in humid places (bathroom, swimming pool, etc.). Protect it from splashing water and other liquids.
- Do not expose your phone to extreme temperatures.
- Keep your phone out of reach of small children. Do not allow them to play with it, it is not a toy.
- Only use your phone with original accessories. Failure to comply with these rules will invalidate your warranty.
- Remember to disconnect the charger before removing the battery.
- The physical and chemical processes used in rechargeable batteries mean that temperature limits must be followed during
rapid charging. Your phone automatically protects the batteries from extreme temperatures.
- If the phone is disconnected from the battery for an extended period of time, it will lose the time and the recorded voice
messages.

Safety Information for Wireless handled phones
Emergency Calls
IMPORTANT
- This phone, like any PCS phone, operates using radio signals, PCS and landline networks, and user-programmed functions.
As a consequence a connection in all conditions cannot be guaranteed. Therefore you should never rely solely upon any

- To make or receive any calls, this phone must be switched on and in service area with adequate PCS signal strength.
Emergency calls may not be possible on all PCS networks or when certain network services and/or phone features are in
use. Check with local Service Providers.
- When making an emergency call, remember to give all the necessary information as accurately as possible. Remember that
your PCS phone may be the only means of communication at the scene of an accident - do not terminate the call until given
permission to do so.
- If certain features are in use (such as Keyguard), you may first need to turn those features off before you can make an
emergency call. Consult this manual and your local PCS Service Provider.
Emergency Calling
- If the phone is not on, press (green key).
- Key in emergency number for your present location (e.g. 911 or other official emergency number).
- Press (green key).
- If you dial 911 during a call, the phone terminates the current call and attempts to make a call to the emergency number 911.
FCC/INDUSTRY CANADA NOTICE
Your phone may cause TV or radio interference (e.g. when using phone in close proximity of receiving equipment). The FCC/
INDUSTRY Canada can require you to stop using your phone if such interference cannot be eliminated. If you need assistance,
contact your local dealer.
This device complies with parts 15 and 68 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the condition that this device does not cause
harmful interferences.
WARNING
- The manufacturer cannot be held liable for any failure to comply with the above recommendations or for any misuse.
- The software program developed by SAGEM SA remains the exclusive property of SAGEM SA. It is therefore highly
prohibited to modify, translate, decompile or disassemble this software program or any part thereof.
- SAGEM SA may not be held responsible for the contents of messages, software or objects downloaded and/or for any
direct or indirect consequential damage to the phone itself.
