Traffic safety:
Given that studies show that using a 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 phone when the vehicle is not
parked. Check the laws and regulations on the use of wireless phones 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.
Conditions of use:
- You are advised to switch off the phone from time to time to optimize its performance;
- Remember to abide by local authority rules of mobile phone use on aircrafts;
- If your phone is a unibody device, where the back cover and battery are not removable, disassembling the phone will void your warranty. Disassembling the phone can cause bodily injury if the battery is punctured;
- 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, such as moisture, humidity, rain, infiltration of liquids, dust, sea air, etc. The manufacturer’s recommended operating temperature range is -10°C (14°F) to +45°C (113°F). At over 45°C (113°F), the legibility of the phone’s display may be temporarily impaired;
- Do not open, dismantle, or attempt to repair your phone yourself;
- Do not drop, throw, or bend your phone;

All persons should discontinue use and consult a doctor if any of the following symptoms occur: convulsion, eye or muscle twitching, loss of awareness, orientation, or movements.
PROTECT YOUR HEARING
To prevent possible hearing damage, do not listen at high volume levels for
long periods. Exercise caution when holding your phone near your ear while the
loudspeaker is in use.
Battery
In accordance with air regulations, the battery of your product is not fully charged. Please charge it first.
- Do not attempt to open the battery (due to the risk of toxic fumes and burns).
- For a device with a non-removable battery, do not attempt to eject or replace the battery.
- Do not puncture, disassemble, or cause a short circuit in a battery.
- For a unibody device, do not attempt to open or puncture the back cover.
- Do not burn or dispose of a used battery or phone in household rubbish or store it at temperatures above 60°C (140°F), this can result in an explosion or the leakage of flammable liquid or gas. Similarly, subjecting the battery to extremely low air pressure may result in an explosion or the leakage of flammable liquid or gas. Only use the battery for the purpose for which it was designed and recommended. Never use damaged batteries.
Phone, accessory and battery must be disposed of in accordance with locally applicable environmental regulations.This symbol on your phone, the battery, and the accessories means that these products must be taken to collection points at the end of their life:
- Municipal waste disposal centers with specific bins for these types of equipment;
- Collection bins at points of sale.
They will then be recycled, preventing substances being disposed of in the environment, so that their components can be reused. In European Union countries: These collection points are accessible free of charge. All products with this sign must be brought to these collection points. In non-European Union jurisdictions: Items of equipment with this symbol are not to be thrown into ordinary bins if your jurisdiction or your region has suitable recycling and collection facilities; instead they are to be taken to collection points for them to be recycled.
- CAUTION: RISK OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS REPLACED BY AN INCORRECT TYPE. DISPOSE OF USED BATTERIES ACCORDING TO THE INSTRUCTIONS.
- WARNING: This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Chargers
Home A.C./ Travel chargers will operate within the temperature range of: 0°C
(32°F) to 40°C (104°F). The chargers designed for your phone meet the standard
for safety of information technology equipment and office equipment use. Due
to different applicable electrical specifications, a charger you purchased in
one jurisdiction may not work in another jurisdiction. They should be used for
this purpose only.
Characteristics of power supply (depending on the country):
- Travel charger: Input: 100-240V,50/60Hz, 0.35A / 0.5A
- Output: 5V, 2.0A
- Battery: Lithium 5000 mAh (Typical Capacity)
Radio waves
THIS DEVICE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT’S REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.
The exposure standard for phones employs a unit of measurement known as the
Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by public authorities such
as the Federal Communications Commission of the US Government (FCC), or by
Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISEDC), is 1.6 W/kg
averaged over 1 gram of body tissue. Tests for SAR are conducted using
standard operating positions with the phone transmitting at its highest
certified power level in all tested frequency bands. This device is complied
with SAR for general population /uncontrolled exposure limits in ANSI/IEEE
C95.1-1992 and had been tested in accordance with the measurement methods and
procedures specified in IEEE1528. 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 www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid after
searching on FCC ID : 2ACCJB186 The highest SAR value for T507A when tested is
1.23 W/Kg for use at the ear and 1.32 W/Kg for use close to the body. While
there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones and at
various positions, they all meet the government requirement for RF exposure.
For body-worn operation, the phone meets FCC RF exposure guidelines provided
that it is used with a non-metallic accessory with the handset at least 15 mm
from the body. Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF
exposure guidelines. Additional information on SAR can be found on the
Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA) Web site:
