Safety and use ......................
We recommend that you read this chapter carefully before using your phone. The
m
anufacturer 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 mobile phone 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 mobile when the vehicle is not parked.
When driving, do not use your phone 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 phone 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 phone 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 mobile phone RF energy.
CONDITIONS OF USE:
You are advised to switch off the telephone from time to time to optimise its
performance.
Switch the phone off before boarding an aircraft.
Switch the phone off when you are in health care facilities, except in designated
areas.As with many other types of equipment now in regular use, mobile telephones
can interfere with other electrical or electronic devices, or equipment using radio
frequency.
Switch the phone 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 phone 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 phone, you should hold it against the ear on the opposite side to the
device, if any.
To avoid hearing impairment, pick up the call before holding your phone to your ear.
Also move the handset away from your ear while using the "hands-free" mode
because the amplified volume might cause hearing damage.
Do not let children use the phone and/or play with the telephone and accessories
without supervision.

information stored in your phone.
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 phone or enabling a flashing-lights feature
on your phone.
Parents should monitor their children’s use of video games or other features that
incorporate flashing lights on the phones. 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.To limit the
likelihood of such symptoms, please take the following safety precautions:
- Do not play or use a flashing-lights feature if you are tired or need sleep.
- Take a minimum of a 15-minute break hourly.
- 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 phone, 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.
Prolonged exposure to music at full volume on the music player may damage
the listener's hearing. Set your phone volume safely. Use only headphones
recommended by TCT Mobile Limited and its affiliates.

foods, chemical products, download of files, crash, high voltage,
corrosion, oxidation…
Your phone will not be repaired in case labels or serial numbers (IMEI)
have been removed or altered.
There are no express warranties, whether written, oral or implied,
other than this printed limited warranty or the mandatory warranty
provided by your jurisdiction.
In no event shall TCT Mobile Limited or any of its affiliates be liable for
incidental or consequential damages of any nature whatsoever,
including but not limited commercial loss, to the full extent those
damages can be disclaimed by law. Some countries/states do not allow
the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, or
limitation of the duration of implied warranties, so the preceding
limitations or exclusions may not apply to you.
Troubleshooting....................
Before contacting the aftersales department, you are advised to follow
the instructions below:
You are advised to switch off the telephone from time to time to
optimise its performance.
You are advised to fully charge ( ) the battery for optimal

and carry out the following checks:
My mobile phone will not switch on
Press until the screen comes on
Check the battery charge level
Check the battery contacts, remove and reinstall your battery, then
turn your telephone back on
My phone has not responded for several minutes
Press the key

Check the battery charge level
CHARGERS
M
ains powered chargers will operate within the temperature range of: C to 40°C.
The chargers designed for your mobile phone meet with the standard for safety of
information technology equipment and office equipment use. Due to different
applicable electrical specifications, a charger you purchased in one jurisdiction may
not work in another jurisdiction.They should be used for this purpose only.
RADIO WAVES:
Proof of compliance with international standards (ICNIRP) or with European
Directive 1999/5/EC (R&TTE) is required of all mobile phone models before they can
be put on the market.The protection of the health and safety for the user and any
other person is an essential requirement of these standards or this directive.
THIS MOBILE PHONE COMPLIES WITH INTERNATIONAL AND EUROPEAN
REQUIREMENTS REGARDING EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.
Your mobile phone is a radio transmitter/receiver. It was designed and manufactured
to comply with the radiofrequency (RF) exposure thresholds recommended by
international requirements (ICNIRP)
(
1)
and by the Council of the European Union
(Recommendation 1999/519/EC)
(
2)
.
These limits are part of a set of requirements and establish authorised
radiofrequency levels for the public. These limits were established by independent
groups of experts on the basis of regular and detailed scientific assessments. They
include a significant safety margin intended to ensure the safety of all, regardless of
age or state of health.
The exposure standard for mobile phones is determined by a measurement unit
known as the Specific Absorption Rate or "SAR".The SAR limit is set by international
requirements or by the Council of the European Union at 2 watts/kilogram (W/kg)
averaged over 10 grams of body tissue.The tests used to determine SAR levels were
carried out on the basis of standard usage modes with the phones transmitting at
their maximum power level over the entire range of frequency bands.
Although the SAR was established at the highest certified level, the actual SAR level
for the mobile phone during use is generally much lower than the maximum values.
In fact, since mobile phones are designed to operate at many different power levels,
they only use the minimum level of power required to provide a connection to the
network. In theory, the closer you are to a base station antenna, the lower the power
level required by the mobile phone.
My mobile phone has a low level of autonomy
Make sure you respected the complete charge timing (minimum 3
hours)
After a partial charge, the battery level indicator may not be exact.
Wait for at least 20 minutes after removing the charger to obtain an
exact indication
My mobile phone will not charge properly
Make sure that your battery is not completely discharged; the
battery charge indicator can take several minutes and may be
accompanied by a quiet whistling sound
Make sure charging is carried out under normal conditions (0°C -
+40°C)
Make sure your battery is inserted. It must be inserted before
plugging in the charger
Make sure you are using an Alcatel battery and charger
When abroad, check that the electrical current is compatible
My mobile phone will not connect to a network
Try connecting in another location
Verify the network coverage with your operator
Check with your operator that your SIM card is valid
Try selecting the available network(s) manually
Try connecting at a later time if the network is overloaded
SIM card error
Make sure the SIM card has been correctly inserted
Verify with your operator that your SIM card is 3V compatible; the
old 5V SIM cards cannot be used
Make sure the chip on your SIM card is not damaged or scratched
Unable to make outgoing calls
Make sure you have dialled a valid number and press the key
For international calls, check the country and area codes
Make sure your mobile phone is connected to a network, and that
the network is not overloaded or unavailable
Check your subscription status with your operator (credit, SIM card
valid, etc.)
Make sure you have not barred outgoing calls
The highest tested SAR value for this mobile phone for use at the ear and
c
ompliance against the standard is 1.2 W/kg (OT-305/OT-505).While there may be
differences between the SAR levels on various phones and at various positions, they
all meet the relevant International guidelines and EU requirements for RF (radio-
waves) exposure.
The World Health Organisation (WHO) considers that present scientific
information does not indicate the need for any special precautions for use of mobile
phones. If individuals are concerned, they might choose to limit their own or their
children’s RF exposure by limiting the length of calls, or using "hands-free" devices
to keep mobile phones away from the head and body (fact sheet 193).Additional
information about electromagnetic fields and public health are available on the
following site: http://www.who.int/peh-emf.
Although no danger relating to the use of telephone was ever proved, the World
Health Organisation advises as a precautionary measure to use your telephone with
a good level of network reception as indicated on the telephone display (4 to 5 bars).
It is also advised to keep the telephone, during communications, away from the belly
of pregnant women and from the lower abdomen for teenagers.
Your telephone is equipped with a built-in antenna. For optimal operation, you should
avoid touching it or degrading it.
As mobile devices offer a range of functions, they can be used in positions other than
against your ear. In such circumstances the device will be compliant with the
guidelines when used with headset or USB data cable. If you are using another
accessory ensure that whatever product is used is free of any metal and that it
positions the phone at least 2cm away from the body.
