Do not drop, knock or harshly treat the phone. Rough handling can damage

8
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.

9
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.

10
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 manufacturer.
Using unauthorized batteries may affect your handset performance or may

Health and safety information
Radio Frequency (RF) Energy
This model phone meets the government’s requirements for exposure to radio
waves.
This phone is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for
exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications
Commission of the U.S. Government:
The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a unit of
measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit
set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg. *Tests for SAR are conducted using standard
operating positions accepted by the FCC with the phone transmitting at its
highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is
determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the
phone while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because
the phone is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the
poser required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a
wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output.
The highest SAR value for the model phone as reported to the FCC when tested
for use at the ear is 1.2 W/kg and when worn on the body, as described in this
user guide, is 0.569 W/kg (Body-worn measurements differ among phone
models, depending upon available enhancements and FCC requirements.)

13
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones and at
various positions, they all meet the government requirement.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model phone with all
reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure
guidelines. SAR information on this model phone is on file with the FCC and can
be found under the Display Grant section of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after
searching on
FCC ID: Q78-GN295
For body worn operation, this phone has been tested and meets the FCC RF
exposure guidelines for use with an accessory that contains no metal and the
positions the handset a minimum of 1.5 cm from the body. Use of other
enhancements may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines.
If you do not use a body-worn accessory and are not holding the phone at the
ear, position the handset a minimum of 1.5 cm from your body when the phone is
switched on.
