Switch the phone off when you are in health care facilities except in areas where it is allowed. 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.When the phone is switched on, avoid placing it near a medical aid device if you carry one such as a pacemaker, hearing aid or insulin pump. Especially when you have a call, you should hold the telephone against the ear on the opposite side to the device, if any. Do not switch the phone on 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. Do not let small children use the phone without supervision. Do not attempt to open or repair it yourself. Use only Alcatel batteries, battery chargers, and accessories that are compatible with your phone model. (See Accessories List, page 97) The manufacturer disclaims any liability for damage caused by use of other batteries, chargers or accessories. Do not allow your phone to be exposed to unfavourable environmental conditions (humidity, rain, ingress of liquids, dust, sea air, etc).The manufacturer's recommended operating temperature range is -20 °C to +40 °C. Over 55°C the legibility of the phone's display may be impaired, though this is temporary and not serious. · BATTERY: Before removing the battery from your phone, please make sure that the phone is switched off. Take precautions with the battery and do not attempt to open the battery (chemical substances may cause burns). Do not pierce, disassemble nor cause a short-circuit in a battery. Do not burn or dispose of a used battery in household waste or store it at temperatures above 60 °C. Batteries must be disposed of in accordance with locally applicable environmental legislation. Batteries should not be used for other purpose than the one they are designed for. Never use damaged batteries. · TRAFFIC SAFETY: Always check whether local legislation permits operation of a mobile phone while driving a vehicle.When it is said that the use of mobile phones whislt driving a vehicle is a risk factor, we strongly recommend that you park the car before using the phone. However if you intend to use your phone while driving, you must use it connected to the "Easy-to-install hands-free car kit". Your mobile phone when powered emits radiation which may interfere with the vehicle electronic systems such as anti-lock brakes (ABS, airbag). As a result, you should: - avoid placing the phone on the dashboard. - connect the phone to an external antenna. The antenna should be mounted and located away from the driver and passengers or separated from them by a metal screen (e.g. the car roof). - check with the car manufacturer that the dashboard is adequately shielded from mobile phone RF energy. · RADIO WAVES: Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, compliance with the International guidelines (ICNIRP) or European Directive 1999/5/EC (R&TTE) must be shown. These guidelines or directive include as one essential requirement the protection of the health and the safety for the user and any other person. 5 4 GB BF4 r2 25/02/02 29/05/02 9:13 Page 6 THIS MOBILE PHONE MEETS THE INTERNATIONAL AND EU REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES. Your mobile phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to exceed the limits for exposure to radiofrequency (RF) energy recommended by International guidelines (ICNIRP) (1) and by the Council of the European Union (Recommendation 1999/519/EC) (2). These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines were developed by independent scientific organisations through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The limits include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health. The exposure standard for mobile phones employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit stated in the International guidelines or recommended by the Council of the European Union is 2 W/kg (3). Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions with the phone transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the phone while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the phone is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the power required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a base station antenna, the lower the power output of the phone. The highest tested SAR value for this mobile phone for use at the ear and compliance against the standard is 0.31 W/kg. 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 exposure. Your telephone is equipped with a built-in antenna. For optimal operation, you should avoid touching it or degrading it. ! (1) ICNIRP guidelines are applicable in the following areas: Central America (except Mexico), South & North Africa, Asia Pacific (except Taiwan, Korea, and Australia). (2) European recommendation (1999/519/EC) is applicable in the following areas: Europe, Eastern Europe, Israel. (3) The SAR limit for mobile phones used by the public is 2 Watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged over ten grams of body tissue. The international guidelines or European limit incorporate a substantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and to account for any variations in measurements. 6 7 GB BF4 r2 25/02/02 29/05/02 9:13 Page 8 INFORMATION · Web site: www.alcatel.com · Wap address: wap.alcatel.com · Alcatel hotline No.: see "Alcatel Services" leaflet (calls charged at applicable local rate in your country).
