SATEFY INFORMATION

We recommend that you read this chapter carefully before using your device. 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 device 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 device when the vehicle is not parked. When driving, do not use your device or headphones to listen to music or the radio. Using a headphone can be dangerous and forbidden in some areas. When switched on, your device 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 device 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 device RF energy.

CONDITIONS OF USE

• You are advised to switch off the device from time to time to optimize its performance.
• Switch the device off before boarding an aircraft.
• Switch the device off when you are in healthcare facilities, except in designated areas. As with many other types of equipment now in regular use, these devices can interfere with other electrical or electronic devices, or equipment using radio frequencies.
• Switch the device 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 device 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 device, you should hold it against the ear on the opposite side to the device, if any.
• To avoid hearing impairment, move the handset away from your ear while using the “hands-free” mode because the amplified volume might cause hearing damage.

• 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 device or enabling a flashing-lights feature on your device.

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

• Play in a room in which all lights are on.
• Play at the farthest distance possible from the screen.
• 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.

When you play games on your device, you may experience occasional discomfort in your hands, arms, shoulders, neck, or other parts of your body. Follow the instructions to avoid problems such as tendinitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, or other musculoskeletal disorders.

RADIO WAVES

THIS DEVICE MEETS INTERNATIONAL GUIDELINES FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES Your device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio waves (radio frequency electromagnetic fields) recommended by international guidelines. The guidelines were developed by an independent scientific organization (ICNIRP) and include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health. The radio wave exposure guidelines use a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate or SAR. The SAR limit for mobile devices is 2 W/kg. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions with the device transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. The highest SAR values under the ICNIRP guidelines for this device model are:

Maximum SAR for this model and conditions under which it was recorded:

EVO7 WIFI+Blue Tooth version (Body-worn)| 0.0962 W/kg
EVO7 3G Module version – Optional (Body-worn)| WCDMA2100| 0.859 W/kg

• During use, the actual SAR values for this device are usually well below the values stated above. This is because, for purposes of system efficiency and to minimize interference on the network, the operating power of your device is automatically decreased when full power is not needed.
• The lower the power output of the device, the lower its SAR value.
• Body-worn SAR testing has been carried out at a separation distance of 1.5 cm. To meet RF exposure guidelines during body-worn operation, the device should be positioned at least this distance away from the body.
• If you are not using an approved accessory ensure that whatever product is used is free of any metal and that it positions the device the indicated distance away from the body.
• Organizations such as the World Health Organization and the US Food and Drug Administration have suggested that if people are concerned and want to reduce their exposure they could use a hands-free accessory to keep the wireless device away from the head or body during use, or reduce the amount of time spent on the device. microSD Logo is a trademark.
• The Bluetooth word mark and logos are owned by the Bluetooth SIG, Inc. and any use of such marks by TCT Mobile Limited and its affiliates is under license. Other trademarks and trade names are those of their respective owners. ONETOUCH EVO7 Bluetooth QD ID B020132
• TouchPal™ and CooTek™ are trademarks of Shanghai HanXiang (CooTek) Information Technology Co., Ltd. and/or its Affiliates.
• The Wi-Fi Logo is a certification mark of the Wi-Fi Alliance.
• Your device uses non-harmonized frequency and is intended for use in all European countries.
• The WLAN can be operated in the EU without restriction indoors, but cannot be operated outdoors in France.
