Whenbuyingacellphone,makesureithasalow
SAR(SpecificAbsorptionRate).
Useawirelesshands‐freesystem(headset)witha
lowpowerBluetoothemitter.
EitherkeepcallsshortorsendaSMSinstead.This
adviceappliesespeciallytochildren,adolescentsand
pregnantwomen.
Wheneverpossible,usecellphoneonlywhenthe
signalqualityisgood.
Peoplehavingactivemedicalimplantsshouldkeep
theircellphoneatleast15cmawayfromtheimplant.
TheFCCadvice:“Manypeoplemistakenlyassume
thatusingacellphonewithalowerreportedSARvalue
necessarilydecreasesauser’sexposuretoRFemissions,
orissomehow“safer”thanusingacellphonewitha
highSARvalue.WhileSARvaluesareanimportanttool
injudgingthemaximumpossibleexposuretoRFenergy
fromaparticularmodelofcellphone,asingleSARvalue
doesnotprovidesufficientinformationaboutthe
amountofRFexposureundertypicalusageconditions
toreliablycompareindividualcellphonemodels.”
WorldHealthOrganization(WHO)Advice:
OrganizationssuchastheWorldHealth
OrganizationandtheUSFoodandDrug
Administrationhavestatedthatifpeopleare
concernedandwanttoreducetheirexposurethey

coulduseahands‐freedevicetokeepthephone

Rate).TheSARlimitrecommendedbytheGovt.OfIndia
is1.6Watt/kgtakenoveravolumecontainingamassof

GettingStarted
Assemblingthedevice
1. Locatethegrooveatthebottomofthedeviceand
gentlyremovethebackcoverbypullingitupfromthe

2. InserttheSIMcardsintotheirrespectiveslotsas
shownbelow.

3. Insertmemorycard.TakecompatiblemicroSDcard,
andplaceitintoitsrespectiveslot.


4. Replacethebattery.Alignthecontactsofthe
batterywiththecorrespondingconnectorsinthe
batterycompartment&placethebackcover.


Chargethebattery
Tochargethedevicebattery:
TaketheUSBcablefromthedevicepackaging,and
attachittopoweradapter.Nowconnectthepower
adapterintoastandardACwalloutlet.

ConnecttheminiUSBconnectoronthecableintoits
designatedportinthedevice.Thebatterylevel
indicatoronthedevicescreenwillstartscrolling
horizontallytoindicatethatthebatteryisbeingcharged.

Note:Exerciseextremecautionwhileconnectingthe
chargertothedevice.Theconnectorsonthecharger
andonthephonemaygetdamagediftoomuchforceis
appliedwhileconnectingthem.

Ifthebatteryiscompletelydischarged,itmaytakea
whilebeforetheon‐screenchargingindicatorstarts
scrolling.



9
1. Whenthebatteryisfullycharged,thebatterylevel
indicatoronthedevicescreenwillstopscrolling.

2. Oncethechargingiscomplete,disconnectthe
chargerfromthedeviceandthenfromthewalloutlet.
BatteryUse
Toextendthebatterylifeofyourdevice:
Usethestandardwallchargertochargethebattery
forthefirsttime.
Duringthefirst3‐4chargecycles,chargethe
batteryuntilthebatteryindicatoronthedisplaystops
scrolling.
Avoidpartialcharging.Also,waitforthebatteryto
dischargecompletelybeforechargingitagain.
ChargethebatteryusingtheUSBcableonlyifthe
recommendedwallchargerisn’treadilyavailable.
Avoidkeepingthedeviceonvibratemode.
