To avoid hearing impairment, answer the call before holding your cellphone to your ear. Also move the handset away from your ear while using the “hands-free” option because the amplified volume might cause hearing damage. It is recommended to have proper supervision while small children use your cellphone.

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

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

Do not allow your cellphone 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 (14°F) to +55°C (131°F)(the max value depends on device, materials and housing paint/texture).

Over 55°C (131°F) the legibility of the cellphone’s display may be impaired, though this is temporary and not serious.

Do not open or attempt to repair your cellphone yourself. Do not drop, throw or try to bend your cellphone.

Do not use the cellphone if the glass made screen, is damaged, cracked or broken to avoid any injury.

Do not paint it.

Use only batteries, battery chargers, and accessories which are recommended by TCT Mobile Limited and its affiliates and are compatible with your cellphone model.

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

Your cellphone should not be disposed of in a municipal waste. Please check local regulations for disposal of electronic products.

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

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 cellphone or enabling a flashing-lights feature on your cellphone. Parents should monitor their children’s use of video games or other features that incorporate flashing lights on the cellphones.

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:

- Play at the farthest distance possible from the screen.

When you play games on your cellphone, 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 using the music player may damage your hearing. Set your cellphone’s volume to it’s lowest setting prior to inserting headphones in your ears and adjust the volume to your preference. Only use headphones that are recommended by TCT Mobile Limited and it’s affiliates.

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 reproduce or distribute them, as this may be considered to be an invasion of privacy.
