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.

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: http://www.ctia.org/
