SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING
The unit and the accessories can contain small parts. Keep all of the equipment out of the reach of small children. The mains adapter is the disconnect device between the product and mains power. The mains socket outlet must be close to the equipment and easily accessible.

Network services and costs
Your device is approved for use on the GSM 900/1800/1900 MHz networks. To use the device, you need a subscription with a service provider.
Using network services may result in traffic costs. Some product features require support from the network, and you may need to subscribe to them.
Operating environment
Follow the rules and laws that apply wherever you are, and always turn off the unit whenever its use is prohibited or can cause interference or hazards. Only use the unit in its normal use position.
Parts of the unit are magnetic. The unit can attract metal objects. Do not keep credit cards or other magnetic media near the unit. There is a risk that information stored on them can be erased.
Medical units
The use of equipment that transmits radio signals, for example, mobile phones, can interfere with insufficiently protected medical equipment. Consult a doctor or the manufacturer of the equipment to determine if it has adequate protection against external radio signals, or if you have any questions. If notices have been put up at health care facilities instructing you to turn off the unit while you are there, you should comply. Hospitals and other health care facilities sometimes use equipment that can be sensitive to external radio signals.

Implanted medical devices
To avoid potential interference, manufacturers of implanted medical devices recommend a minimum separation of 15 cm between a wireless device and the medical device. Persons who have such devices should:

• Always keep the wireless device more than 15 cm from the medical device.
•  Not carry the wireless device in a breast pocket.
•  Hold the wireless device to the ear opposite the medical device.

If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, turn the phone off immediately. If you have any questions about using your wireless device with an implanted medical device, consult your health care provider.

Areas with explosion risk
Always turn off the unit when you are in an area where there is a risk of explosion. Follow all signs and instructions. There is a risk of explosion in places that include areas where you are normally requested to turn off your car engine. In these areas, sparks can cause explosions or fire which can lead to personal injury or even death.
Turn off the unit at filling stations, and any other place that has fuel pumps and auto repair facilities.
Follow the restrictions that apply to the use of radio equipment near places where fuel is stored and sold, chemical factories, and places where blasting is in progress. Areas with risk for the explosion are often – but not always – clearly marked. This also applies to below decks on ships; the transport or storage of chemicals; vehicles that use liquid fuel (such as propane or butane); areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powder.

Li-ion battery
This product contains a Li-ion battery. There is a risk of fire and burns if the battery pack is handled improperly.

WARNING
The danger of explosion if the battery is incorrectly replaced. To reduce the risk of fire or burns, do not disassemble, crush, puncture, short external contacts, expose to temperature above 60° C (140° F), or dispose of in fire or water. Recycle or dispose of used batteries according to the local regulations or reference guide supplied with your product.

Protect your hearing

WARNING
Excessive exposure to loud sounds can cause hearing damage.
Exposure to loud sounds while driving may distract your attention and cause an accident.
Listen to a headset at a moderate level, and do not hold the device near your ear when the loudspeaker is in use.

Emergency calls
Important!

Mobile phones use radio signals, the mobile phone network, the terrestrial network, and user-programmed functions. This means that connection cannot be guaranteed in all circumstances. Therefore, never rely on only on a mobile phone for very important calls such as
medical emergencies.

Vehicles
Radio signals can affect electronic systems in motor vehicles (for example, electronic fuel injection, ABS brakes, automatic cruise control, airbag systems) that have been incorrectly installed or are inadequately protected. Contact the manual- user or its representative for more information about your vehicle or any additional equipment.
Do not keep or transport flammable liquids, gases, or explosives together with the unit or its accessories.
For vehicles equipped with airbags: Remember that airbags fill with air with considerable force. Do not place objects, including fixed or portable radio equipment in the area above the airbag or the area where it might expand. Serious injuries may be caused if the mobile phone equipment is incorrectly installed and the airbag fills with air.
It is prohibited to use the unit in flight. Turn off the unit before you board a plane. Using wireless telecom units inside a plane can pose risks to air safety and interfere with telecommunications. It may also be illegal.

 CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Your unit is a technically advanced product and should be treated with the greatest care. Negligence may void the warranty.

• Protect the unit from moisture. Rain/snowfall, moisture and all types of liquid can contain substances that corrode the electronic circuits. If the unit gets wet, you should remove the battery and allow the unit to dry completely before you replace it.
•  Do not use or keep the unit in dusty, dirty environments. The unit’s moving parts and electronic components can be damaged.
• Do not keep the unit in warm places. High temperatures can reduce the lifespan for electronic equipment, damage batteries and distort or melt certain plastics.
• Do not keep the unit in cold places. When the unit warms up to normal temperature, condensation can form on the inside which can damage the electronic circuits.
• Do not try to open the unit in any other way than that which is indicated here.
•  Do not drop the unit. Do not knock or shake it either. If it is treated roughly the circuits and precision mechanics can be broken.
•  Do not use strong chemicals to clean the unit.
  The advice above applies to the unit, battery, mains adapter, and other accessories. If the phone is not working as it should, please contact the place of purchase for service. Don’t forget the receipt or a copy of the invoice.

TECHNICAL DATA

Specifications

Hearing aid
This device should work with most hearing aid equipment in the market. However, full compatibility with all equipment can not be promised.

Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)

This device meets applicable international safety require­ments for exposure to radio waves. Your mobile device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio waves (radiofrequency electromag­netic fields) recommended by international guidelines from the independent scientific organization ICNIRP (International Commission of Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection).
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 averaged over 10 grams of tissue and includes a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
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:
Head SAR: 0.600 W/kg
Body SAR: 1.432 W/kg
During normal use, the 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 output power of your mobile device is automatically decreased when full power is not needed for the call. The lower the power output of the device, the lower its SAR value.
This device meets RF exposure guidelines when used against the head or when positioned at least 0.5 cm away from the body. When a carry case, belt clip or another form of device holder is used for body-worn operation, it should not contain metal and should provide at least the above-stated separation distance from the body.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has stated that current scientific information does not indicate the need for any special precautions when using mobile devices. If you are interested in reducing your exposure, they recommend you reduce your usage or use a hands-free accessory to keep the device away from your head and body.
