safety and usage information

Turn off the phone or disable the wireless

functions when in an aircraft

Your phone can cause interference with aircraft

equipment. Follow all airline regulations and turn off

your phone or switch to a mode that disables the

wireless functions when directed by airline personnel.

Protect batteries and chargers from damage

Avoid exposing batteries to very cold or very hot •

temperatures (below 0° C/32° F or above 45° C/

113° F). Extreme temperatures can reduce the

charging capacity and life of your batteries.

Prevent batteries from contacting metal objects, •

as this can create a connection between the + and

– terminals of your batteries and lead to temporary or

permanent battery damage.

Never use a damaged charger or battery.•

Handle your phone carefully and sensibly

Do not disassemble your phone due to a risk of electric •

shock.

Do not allow your phone to get wet—liquids can cause •

serious damage and will change the colour of the label

that indicates water damage inside the phone. Do not

handle your phone with wet hands. Water damage to

your phone can void your manufacturer's warranty.

Avoid using or storing your phone in dusty, dirty areas •

to prevent damage to moving parts.

Your phone is a complex electronic device—protect •

it from impacts and rough handling to avoid serious

damage.

Do not paint your phone, as paint can clog moving •

parts and prevent proper operation.

Your phone may be damaged by exposure to magnetic •

elds.Donotusecarryingcasesoraccessorieswith

magnetic closures or allow your phone to come in

contactwithmagneticeldsforextendedperiodsof

time.

Avoid interference with other electronic devices

Your phone emits radio frequency (RF) signals that

may interfere with unshielded or improperly shielded

electronic equipment, such as pacemakers, hearing

aids, medical devices, and other electronic devices in

homes or vehicles. Consult the manufacturers of your

electronic devices to solve any interference problems

you experience.

Ensure access to emergency services

Emergency calls from your phone may not be possible

in some areas or circumstances. Before travelling in

remote or undeveloped areas, plan an alternate method

of contacting emergency services personnel.

Specic Absorption Rate (SAR) certication

information

Your device conforms to U.S. Federal Communications

Commission (FCC) standards that limit human

exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy emitted by

radio and telecommunications equipment. These

standards prevent the sale of mobile devices that

exceed a maximum exposure level (known as the

SpecicAbsorptionRate,orSAR)of1.6W/kg.

During testing, the maximum SAR values recorded for

this model were: In normal use, the actual SAR is likely

to be much lower, as the device has been designed to

emit only the RF energy necessary to transmit a signal

to the nearest base station. By automatically emitting

lower levels when possible, your device reduces your

overall exposure to RF energy.

The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorisation

for this model phone based on the compliance of

all reported SAR levels with the FCC RF exposure

guidelines. The authorisation can be found on the

FCCOfceofEngineeringandTechnologywebsiteat

http:// www.fcc.gov/oet/ea.

the battery to high external pressure, which can lead to

an internal short circuit and overheating.

Avoid interference with pacemakers

Maintain a minimum of 15 cm between mobile phones

and pacemakers to avoid potential interference, as

recommended by manufacturers and the independent

research group, Wireless Technology Research. If you

have any reason to suspect that your phone is interfering

with a pacemaker or other medical device, turn off the

phone immediately and contact the manufacturer of the

pacemaker or medical device for guidance.

Ensure maximum battery and charger life

Avoid charging batteries for more than a week, as •

overcharging may shorten battery life.

Over time, unused batteries will discharge and must be •

recharged before use.

Disconnect chargers from power sources when not •

in use.

Use batteries only for their intended purpose.•

Handle UIM cards or memory cards with care

grip, press the buttons lightly, use special features that

reduce the number of buttons you have to press (such as

templates and predictive text), and take frequent breaks.

Do not use the phone if the screen is cracked or
