• 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. The protection of the health
and the safety for the user and any other person constitute an
essential element of these guidelines or this directive.
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 radio-
frequency (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
5
aid or insulin pump.When using the phone you should hold it 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, chapter
17). Alcatel will not be held responsible if this is not respected. Do
not allow your phone to be exposed to unfavourable environmental
conditions (humidity, rain, infiltration of liquids, dust, sea air, etc).The
manufacturer’s recommended operating temperature range is -10°C
to + 55°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 any other purpose than the one
intended. Never use damaged batteries.
