Safety and use
We recommend that you read this chapter carefully before using
your cellphone. 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 cellphone 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 cellphone
when the vehicle is not parked. Check the laws and regulations on
the use of wireless cellphones 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.
When driving, do not use your cellphone and headphone to listen
to music or to the radio. Using a headphone can be dangerous and
forbidden in some areas.
When switched on, your cellphone 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 cellphone 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 car’s electronic devices are shielded from cellphone RF
energy.
•CONDITIONS OF USE:
You are advised to switch off the cellphone from time to time to
optimize its performance.
Remember to abide by local authority rules of cellphone use on
aircrafts.
Operational Warnings: Obey all posted signs when using mobile
devices in public areas.
Follow Instructions to Avoid Interference Problems: Turn off your
mobile device in any location where posted notices instruct you to
do so. In an aircraft, turn off your mobile device whenever instructed
to do so by airline staff. If your mobile device offers an airplane mode
or similar feature, consult airline staff about using it in flight.
Switch the cellphone off when you are in health care facilities,
except in designated areas. As with many other types of equipment
now in regular use, cellphones can interfere with other electrical or
electronic devices, or equipment using radio frequency.
Switch the cellphone off when you are near gas or flammable liquids.
Strictly obey all signs and instructions posted in a fuel depot, gas
station, or chemical plant, or in any potentially explosive atmosphere.
When the cellphone 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. In particular when using the cellphone you should hold it
against the ear on the opposite side to the device, if any.
Read and follow the directions from the manufacturer of your
implantable medical device. If you have any questions about using
your mobile device with your implantable medical device, consult
your healthcare provider.
To avoid hearing impairment, answer the call before holding your
cellphone to your ear. Also move the handset away from your ear
while using the “hands-free” option because the amplified volume
might cause hearing damage. It is recommended to have proper
supervision while small children use your cellphone.
When replacing the cover please note that your cellphone may
contain substances that could create an allergic reaction.
Always handle your cellphone with care and keep it in a clean and
dust-free place.
Do not allow your cellphone to be exposed to adverse weather
or environmental conditions (moisture, humidity, rain, infiltration
of liquids, dust, sea air, etc.). The manufacturer’s recommended
operating temperature range is -10°C (14°F) to +55°C (131°F)(the
max value depends on device, materials and housing paint/texture).
Over 55°C (131°F) the legibility of the cellphone’s display may be
impaired, though this is temporary and not serious.
Do not open or attempt to repair your cellphone yourself.
Do not drop, throw or try to bend your cellphone.
Do not use the cellphone if the glass made screen, is damaged,
cracked or broken to avoid any injury.
Do not paint it.
Use only batteries, battery chargers, and accessories which are
recommended by TCT Mobile Limited and its affiliates and are
compatible with your cellphone model.
TCT Mobile Limited and its affiliates disclaim any liability for damage
caused by the use of other chargers or batteries.
Your cellphone should not be disposed of in a municipal waste. Please
check local regulations for disposal of electronic products.
