Your telephone is a transceiver that operates on GSM networks with 900 MHz and 1800 MHz bands.
The marking indicates that your telephone complies with "1999/5/EC (R&TTE)" directive and that the
accessories concerned comply with current EC directives.The entire copy of the Declaration of Conformity
for your telephone can be obtained through Alcatel website: www.alcatel.com.
Protection against theft
Your mobile phone has an identification number called IMEI (phone serial number) shown on the packaging
label and in the product’s memory.We recommend that you note this number the first time you use your
telephone by entering ,,,, and keep it safely. It may be requested by the police or your
operator if your telephone is stolen.This number allows your mobile telephone to be blocked, preventing a
third person from using it, even with a different SIM card.

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 ten 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 phone during use is generally
much lower than the maximum values. In fact, since mobiles 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.
The highest tested SAR value for this mobile phone for use at the ear and compliance against the standard is 0.57 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.
IMPORTANT: Please note that you must respect the laws and regulations in force in your country regarding taking
photographs and recording sounds using your mobile telephone. Pursuant to such laws and regulations, it may be strictly
forbidden to take photographs and/or to record the voices of other people or any of their personal attributes, and
reproduce or distribute them, as this may be considered to be an invasion of privacy. It is the user's sole responsibility to
ensure that prior authorisation be obtained, if necessary, in order to record private or confidential conversations or take a
photograph of another person; the manufacturer, the seller or reseller of your mobile phone (including the operator)
disclaim any liability which may result from the improper use of the mobile phone.

The World Health Organisation 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 n° 193). Additional information about
