Safety and use..............................

We recommend that you read this chapter carefully before using your cellphone. 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 cellphone 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 cellphone when the vehicle is not parked. Check the laws and regulations on the use of wireless cellphones and their accessories in the areas where you drive. Always obey them. The use of these devices may be prohibited or restricted in certain areas.

When driving, do not use your cellphone 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 cellphone 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 cellphone 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 car’s electronic devices are shielded from cellphone RF energy.

CONDITIONS OF USE:

You are advised to switch off the cellphone from time to time to optimize its performance. Remember to abide by local authority rules of cellphone use on aircrafts.

Switch the cellphone off when you are in health care facilities, except in designated areas. As with many other types of equipment now in regular use, cellphones can interfere with other electrical or electronic devices, or equipment using radio frequency.

Switch the cellphone off when you are near gas or flammable liquids. Strictly obey all signs and instructions posted in a fuel depot, gas station, or chemical plant, or in any potentially explosive atmosphere.

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

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 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.
