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 15 mm 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.
Switch off when asked
to in hospitals and
medical facilities.
Avoid contact with
liquids. Keep your phone

in aircrafts and airports.
Don’t take your phone
apart.
12
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.
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.
13
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).
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.
14
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.
• 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
15
accessories, only authorized personnel can 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.
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 SIM card’s metal connectors.
16
Antenna
Do not touch the antenna unnecessarily.
Normal Use Position
When placing or receiving a phone call, hold your phone to
your ear, with the bottom towards your mouth.

Main antenna

17
Air Bags
Do not place a phone in the area over an air bag or in the air
bag deployment area as an airbag inflates with great force
and serious injury could result.
Store the phone safely before driving your vehicle.
Seizures/Blackouts
The phone can produce a bright or flashing light. A small
percentage of people may be susceptible to blackouts or
seizures (even if they have never had one before) when
exposed to flashing lights or light patterns such as when
playing games or watching video. If you have experienced
seizures or blackouts or have a family history of such
occurrences, please consult a physician.

18
Repetitive Strain Injuries
To minimize the risk of Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI) when
texting or playing games with your phone:
• Do not grip the phone too tightly.
• Press the buttons lightly.
• Use the special features which are designed to minimize
the times of pressing buttons, such as Message
Templates and Predictive Text.
• Take lots of breaks to stretch and relax.
Emergency Calls
This phone, like any wireless phone, operates using radio
signals, which cannot guarantee connection in all conditions.
Therefore, you must never rely solely on any wireless phone
for emergency communications.
Loud Noise
This phone is capable of producing loud noises, which may
damage your hearing. Turn down the volume before using
headphones, Bluetooth stereo headsets or other audio
devices.
Phone Heating
Your phone may become warm during charging and during
normal use.
19
Electrical Safety
Accessories
Use only approved accessories.
Do not connect with incompatible products or accessories.
Take care not to touch or allow metal objects, such as
coins or key rings, to contact or short-circuit in the battery
terminals.
Connection to a Car
Seek professional advice when connecting a phone interface
to the vehicle electrical system.
Faulty and Damaged Products
Do not attempt to disassemble the phone or its accessory.
Only qualified personnel can service or repair the phone or
its accessory.
If your phone or its accessory has been submerged in water,
punctured, or subjected to a severe fall, do not use it until
you have taken it to be checked at an authorized service
centre.
20
Radio Frequency Interference
General Statement on Interference
Care must be taken when using the phone in close
proximity to personal medical devices, such as pacemakers
and hearing aids.
Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum
separation of 15 cm be maintained between a mobile phone
and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the
pacemaker. To achieve this, use the phone on the opposite
ear to your pacemaker and do not carry it in a breast pocket.
Hearing Aids
People with hearing aids or other cochlear implants may
experience interfering noises when using wireless devices or
when one is nearby.
The level of interference will depend on the type of hearing
device and the distance from the interference source,
increasing the separation between them may reduce the
interference. You may also consult your hearing aid
manufacturer to discuss alternatives.
