Set the phone lock code.
Set call restrictions.
Safety Precautions
This section includes some important information on safe and efficient operation.
Please read this information before using the phone.
Operational Precautions
Please use your phone properly. When making or receiving a call, please
hold your phone as when holding a standard wireline telephone. Make
sure that the phone is at least one inch (about two point five centimeters)
from your body when transmitting.
Do not touch the antenna when the phone is in use. Touching the antenna
area affects call quality and may cause the phone to operate at a higher
power level than needed.
Some people may be susceptible to epileptic seizures or blackouts
when exposed to flashing lights, such as when watching television or

5
playing video games. If you have experienced seizures or blackouts, or if
you have a family history of such occurrences, please consult your doctor
before playing video games on your phone or enabling a flashing-light
feature on your phone. (The flashing-light feature is not available on all
products.)
Keep the phone out of reach of small children. The phone may cause injury
if used as a toy.
Precautions While Driving
Please pay attention to traffic safety. Check the laws and regulations on the
use of your phone in the area where you drive. Always obey them.
Use the hands-free function of the phone, if available.
Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if required.
Precautions for Medical Devices and Facilities
When using your phone near pacemakers, please always keep the phone
more than eight inches (about twenty centimeters) from the pacemaker
when the phone is switched on. Do not carry the phone in the breast
pocket. Use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for
interference. Switch off the phone immediately if necessary.
Some phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of such
interference, you may consult your hearing-aid manufacturer to discuss

6
alternatives.
If you use any other personal medical device, please consult the
manufacturer of your device to determine if it is adequately shielded from
RF energy.
In areas with special requirements, such as hospitals or health care
facilities, please pay attention to the restrictions on the use of your mobile
phone. Switch off your phone if required.
Mobile Phone
Please use original accessories or accessories approved by the
phone manufacturer. Using any unauthorized accessories may affect
your mobile phone’s performance, damage your phone or even cause injury
and may violate related local regulations for telecom terminals.
Turn off your phone before you clean it. Use a damp or anti-static cloth
to clean the phone. Do not use a dry cloth or electrostatically charged cloth.
Do not use chemical or abrasive cleaners as these could damage the
phone.
As your mobile phone can produce an electromagnetic field, do not place
it near magnetic items such as computer disks.
Using the phone near electrical appliances such as TVs, telephones, radios
and personal computers can cause interference.
Do not expose your mobile phone to direct sunlight or store in hot places.

7
High temperatures can shorten the life of electronic devices.
Keep your phone dry. Any liquid may damage your phone.
Do not drop, knock or harshly treat the phone. Rough handling can damage
internal circuit boards.
Do not connect the phone with any incompatible accessory or
enhancement.
Do not attempt to disassemble the mobile phone or battery.
Do not store the phone with flammable or explosive articles.
Do not charge the mobile phone without the battery.
Precautions for Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Switch off your phone prior to entering any area with potentially
explosive environments, such as fueling areas, fuel or chemical transfer
or storage facilities.
Do not remove, install, or charge batteries in such areas. Sparks in
potentially explosive environments can cause explosions or fire, resulting in
bodily injury or even death.
To avoid possible interference with blasting operations, switch off your
phone when you are near electrical blasting caps, in a blasting area, or in
areas posted “Turn off electronic devices”. Obey all signs and instructions.

Precautions for Electronic Devices
Some electronic devices are susceptible to electromagnetic interference
sent by the mobile phone if inadequately shielded, such as the electronic
systems of vehicles. Please consult the manufacturer of the device before
using the phone if necessary.
Safety and General Use in Vehicles
Safety airbags, brakes, speed control systems and oil eject systems should
not be affected by wireless transmissions. If you do meet any of the above
problems, please contact your automobile provider. Do not place your
phone in the area over an airbag or in the airbag deployment area.Airbags
inflate with great force. If a phone is placed in the airbag deployment area
and the airbag inflates, the phone may be propelled with great force and
cause serious injury to occupants of the vehicle.
Please turn off your mobile phone at a refueling point, and in the locations
where the use of two-way radio is also prohibited.
Aircraft Safety
Please turn off your mobile phone before take off. In order to protect the
aeroplane’s communication system from interference, it is forbidden to
use mobile phones in flight. Safety regulations require you to have
permission from a crew member to use your phone while the plane is on
the ground.

If the mobile phone has the automatic timing power-on feature, please
check your alarm setting to make sure that your phone will not be
automatically turned on during the flight.
Battery Use
Do not short-circuit the battery, as this can cause the unit to overheat or
ignite.
Do not store the battery in hot areas or throw it into a fire. Otherwise, it may
cause an explosion.
Do not disassemble or refit the battery. Otherwise, it may cause liquid
leakage, overheating, explosions and ignition of the battery.
Please store the battery in a cool dry place if you do not use it for a long
period.
The battery can be recharged many times, but it will eventually wear out.
When the operating time (talk time and standby time) is noticeably shorter
than normal, it is time to replace it with a new one.
Please stop using the charger and battery when they are damaged or show
evidence of ageing.
Return the worn-out battery to the provider or dispose of it in accordance
with local environmental regulations. Do not dispose of it in household
rubbish.
Please use original batteries or batteries approved by the phone
