~ Important operating guidelines

Batteries – SIM – Emergency calls – SAR – Repairs

  1. To increase the life of your battery, only use WIKO chargers and batteries. Replacing the battery with a noncompliant model may result in the latter exploding.
  2. Never throw batteries on a fire and follow the guidelines in force for recycling used batteries and phones.
  3. Be careful not to crush or damage the battery, as this could cause an internal short circuit and overheating.
  4. Do not take the battery apart.
  5. The battery can be recharged several hundred times before needing to be replaced. When it shows signs of losing its power, it can be replaced.
  6. If you do not use your mobile phone for an extended period, remember to recharge the battery to optimise its use time.
  7. Do not throw batteries away with household waste: recycle them in accordance with the manufacturer’s guidelines. If the battery is damaged, contact the after-sales service or the nearest authorised WIKO dealer.
  8. Unplug the charger from the wall socket when the battery is fully charged in order to reduce your energy consumption.
  9. Do not leave the battery being charged for more than a week as this might result in an overload and reduce the life of the product.
  10. Handle the SIM cards with care: wipe them with a soft cloth if they appear dirty.
  11. Emergency calls: the emergency numbers may not be accessible on all mobile telephone networks, in isolated areas or areas where there is no coverage; check first with your operator.
  12. Radio Frequency Exposure:
    Your device has been designed and produced to comply with international norms (ICNIRP) for exposure to radiofrequencies. The safety instructions related to exposure to radio frequencies use a measuring unit called SAR (Specific Absorption Rate).
    The local specific absorption rate (SAR) measures the user’s exposure to the electromagnetic waves of the equipment concerned. The maximum authorised SAR is 2 W/kg for the head and torso, and 4 W/kg for the limbs.
    The highest reported SAR value for your device when tested for use and kept 0.5 cm from your body is :
    SAR Head : 0.562 W/kg
    SAR Torso : 1.608 W/kg
    **SAR Limbs : 3.028 W/kg

Tips for Reducing Exposure Levels
** We recommend that you use your phone in good reception conditions in order to reduce the amount of radiation received.
It is advisable to limit the amount of time you use the phone in underground car parks and when travelling by car or train, etc.
Reception conditions are indicated by the bars that are displayed on your phone: the more bars there are, the better the reception quality.
We recommend that you use the hands-free kit to reduce exposure to radiation.
To reduce the adverse effects of prolonged radiation exposure, we advise teenagers to hold the phone away from their lower abdomen, and that pregnant women hold the phone at a distance from their stomach.

  1. Only qualified service personnel should repair your device. If you give your device to non-qualified personnel for repair, the phone will not be covered by WIKO’s warranty.

    • Type * # 06 # on your mobile telephone’s keypad.
    • Refer to the packaging box that your telephone came in.
    • Remove the battery from your device: on the back, you will see a label with your IMEI code. (For non-removable batteries, refer to the IMEI engraved on the telephone’s rear casing).
