Safety and Use ......................................................

We recommend that you read this chapter carefully before using your phone. The manufacturer disclaims any liability for damage, which may

result as a consequence of improper use or use contrary to the instructions contained herein.

•TRAFFIC SAFETY:

Given that studies show that using a mobile phone while driving a vehicle constitutes a real risk, even when the hands-free kit is used (car kit,

headset...), drivers are requested to refrain from using their mobile when the vehicle is not parked.

When driving, do not use your phone and headphone to listen to music or to the radio. Using a headphone can be dangerous and forbidden in

some areas.

When switched on, your phone emits electromagnetic waves that can interfere with the vehicle’s electronic systems such as ABS anti-lock brakes

or airbags.To ensure that there is no problem:

-do not place your phone on top of the dashboard or within an airbag deployment area,

-check with your car dealer or the car manufacturer to make sure that the dashboard is adequately shielded from mobile phone RF energy.

•CONDITIONS OF USE:

You are advised to switch off the telephone from time to time to optimise its performance.

Switch the phone off before boarding an aircraft to avoid prosecution.

Switch the phone off when you are in health care facilities, except in designated areas. As with many other types of equipment now in regular

use, mobile telephones can interfere with other electrical or electronic devices, or equipment using radio frequency.

Switch the phone off when you are near gas or flammable liquids. Strictly obey all signs and instructions posted in a fuel depot,petrol station, or

chemical plant, or in any potentially explosive atmosphere.

When the phone is switched on, it should be kept at least 15 cm from any medical device such as a pacemaker, a hearing aid or insulin pump,

etc. In particular when using the phone, you should hold it against the ear on the opposite side to the device, if any.

To avoid hearing impairment, pick up the call before holding your phone to your ear. Also move the handset away from your ear while using the

“hands-free” mode because the amplified volume might cause hearing damage.

Do not let children use the phone without supervision.

When replacing the cover please note that your phone may contain substances that could create an allergic reaction.

Always handle your phone with care and keep it in a clean and dust-free place.

Do not allow your phone to be exposed to adverse weather or environmental conditions (moisture, humidity, rain, infiltration of liquids, dust,

sea air, etc).The manufacturer’s recommended operating temperature range is -10°C to +55°C.

Over 55°C the legibility of the phone’s display may be impaired, though this is temporary and not serious.

Do not open or attempt to repair your mobile phone yourself.

Do not drop, throw or bend your mobile phone.

Do not paint it.

Use only Alcatel batteries, battery chargers, and accessories that are compatible with your phone model (see Accessories List, page 95).T&A

Mobile Phones Limited and its affiliates disclaim any liability for damage caused by the use of other chargers or batteries.

Remember to make back-up copies or keep a written record of all important information stored in your phone.

Some people may suffer epileptic seizures or blackouts when exposed to flashing lights, or when playing video games.These seizures or blackouts

may occur even if a person never had a previous seizure or blackout. 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-lights feature on your phone.

5

M5_UM_GB_22-11-05 2/12/05 8:09 Page 5

Parents should monitor their children’s use of video games or other features that incorporate flashing lights on the phones.All persons should

discontinue use and consult a doctor if any of the following symptoms occur: convulsion, eye or muscle twitching, loss of awareness, involuntary

movements, or disorientation.To limit the likelihood of such symptoms, please take the following safety precautions:

-Do not play or use a flashing-lights feature if you are tired or need sleep.

-Take a minimum of a 15-minute break hourly.

-Play in a room in which all lights are on.

-Play at the farthest distance possible from the screen.

When you play games on your phone, you may experience occasional discomfort in your hands, arms, shoulders, neck, or other parts of your

body. Follow these instructions to avoid problems such as tendinitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, or other musculoskeletal disorders:

-Take a minimum of a 15 minute-break every hour of game playing.

-If your hands, wrists, or arms become tired or sore while playing, stop and rest for several hours before playing again.

-If you continue to have sore hands, wrists, or arms during or after playing, stop the game and see a doctor.

Prolonged exposure to music at full volume on the music player may damage the listener's hearing.

Set your phone volume safely. Only use the Alcatel headphones.

In non European Union countries:

Items of equipment with this symbol are not to be thrown into ordinary bins if your country or your region has suitable recycling and collection

facilities; instead they are to be taken to collection points for them to be recycled.

•PRIVACY:

Please note that you must respect the laws and regulations in force in your country regarding taking photographs and recording sounds with

your mobile telephone. Pursuant to such laws and regulations, it may be strictly forbidden to take photographs and/or to record the voices of

other people or any of their personal attributes, and duplicate or distribute them, as this may be considered to be an invasion of privacy. It is the

user's sole responsibility to ensure that prior authorisation be obtained, if necessary, in order to record private or confidential conversations or

take a photograph of another person; the manufacturer, the seller or vendor of your mobile phone (including the operator) disclaim any liability

which may result from the improper use of the mobile phone.

•BATTERY:

Before removing the battery from your phone, please make sure that the phone is switched off.

Observe the following precautions for battery use:

-Do not attempt to open the battery (due to the risk of toxic fumes and burns).

-Do not puncture, disassemble or cause a short-circuit in a battery,

-Do not burn or dispose of a used battery in household rubbish or store it at temperatures above 60 °C.

•CHARGERS

Mains powered chargers will operate within the temperature range of: 0 °C to 40 °C.

The chargers designed for your mobile phone meet with the standard for safety of information technology equipment and office equipment use.

They should be used for this purpose only.

•RADIO WAVES:

Proof of compliance with international standards (ICNIRP) or with European Directive 1999/5/EC (R&TTE) is required of all mobile phone

models before they can be put on the market. The protection of the health and safety for the user and any other person is an essential

requirement of these standards or this directive.

THIS MOBILE PHONE COMPLIES WITH INTERNATIONAL AND EUROPEAN REQUIREMENTS REGARDING EXPOSURE TO RADIO

WAVES.

Your mobile phone is a radio transmitter/receiver. It was designed and manufactured to comply with the radiofrequency (RF) exposure thresholds

recommended by international requirements (ICNIRP) (1) and by the Council of the European Union (Recommendation 1999/519/EC) (2).

These limits are part of a set of requirements and establish authorised radiofrequency levels for the public. These limits were established by

independent groups of experts on the basis of regular and detailed scientific assessments.They include a significant safety margin intended to

ensure the safety of all, regardless of age or state of health.

The exposure standard for mobile phones is determined by a measurement unit known as the Specific Absorption Rate or “SAR”.The SAR limit

is set by international requirements or by the Council of the European Union at 2 watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged over 10 grams of body tissue.

The tests used to determine SAR levels were carried out on the basis of standard usage modes with the phones transmitting at their maximum

power level over the entire range of frequency bands.

Although the SAR was established at the highest certified level, the actual SAR level for the mobile phone during use is generally much lower

than the maximum values. In fact, since mobile phones are designed to operate at many different power levels, they only use the minimum level

of power required to provide a connection to the network. In theory, the closer you are to a base station antenna, the lower the power level

required by the mobile phone.

The highest tested SAR value for this mobile phone for use at the ear and compliance against the standard is 0.34 W/kg. While there may be

differences between the SAR levels on various phones and at various positions, they all meet the relevant International guidelines and EU

requirements for RF (radio-waves) exposure.

The World Health Organisation (WHO) considers that present scientific information does not indicate the need for any special precautions for

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 (fact sheet n° 193). Additional information about

electromagnetic fields and public health are available on the following site: http://www.who.int/peh-emf.

Your telephone is equipped with a built-in antenna. For optimal operation, you should avoid touching it or degrading it.

(1) The ICNIRP requirements are applicable in the following regions: Central America (except Mexico),

South America, North and South Africa, Pacific Asia (except China Taiwan and Korea), Australia.

(2) The European recommendation (1999/519/EC) is applicable in the following regions: Europe, Israel.
