Some people may suffer epileptic seizures or blackouts when exposed to flashing lights, or when playing video games. These seizures orblackouts may occur even if a person never had a previous seizure or  blackout. If you have experienced seizures or blackouts, or if you havea family history of such occurrences, please consult your doctor before playing video games on your phone or enabling a flashing-lights featureon your phone. Parents should monitor their children’s use of video games or other features that incorporate flashing lights on the  phones. Allpersons should discontinue use and consult a doctor if any of the following symptoms occur: convulsion, eye or muscle twitching, loss ofawareness, 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.When you play games on your phone, you may experience occasional discomfort in your hands, arms, shoulders, neck, or other parts of yourbody. Follow these instructions to avoid problems such as tendinitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, or other musculoskeletal disorders:- Take a minimum of a 15 minute-break every hour of game playing.- 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.• PRIVACY:Please note that you must respect the laws and regulations in force in your country regarding taking photographs and recording sounds usingyour cellphone. Pursuant to such laws and regulations, it may be strictly forbidden to take photographs and/or to record the voices of otherpeople or any of their personal attributes, and reproduce or distribute them, as this may be considered to be an invasion of privacy. It is theuser's sole responsibility to ensure that prior authorization be obtained, if necessary, in order to record private or confidential conversationsor take a photograph of another person; the manufacturer, the seller or vendor of your cellphone (including the operator) disclaim any liabilitywhich may result from the improper use of the cellphone.• BATTERY:Before removing the battery from your phone, please make sure that the phone is switched off. Observe the following precautions for battery use: - Do not attempt to open the battery (due to the risk of toxic fumes and burns). - Do not puncture, disassemble or cause a short-circuit in a battery, - Do not burn or dispose of a used battery in the garbage or store it at temperatures above 60 °C.

The manufacturer disclaims any liability for damage, which mayresult as a consequence of improper use or use contrary to the instructions contained herein.•TRAFFIC SAFETY:Given that studies show that using a cellphone 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 cellphone when the vehicle is not parked.When switched on, your phone emits electromagnetic waves that can interfere with the vehicle’s electronic systems such as ABS anti-lockbrakes 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 car’s electronic devices are shielded from cellphone RF energy.•CONDITIONS OF USE:Switch the phone off before boarding an aircraft to avoid prosecution.Switch the phone off when you are in health care facilities, except in designated areas. As with many other types of equipment now in regularuse, cellphones 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, gas station, orchemical 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.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 usingthe “hands-free” option because the amplified volume might cause hearing damage.Do not let small children use your cellphone without supervision.When replacing the cover please note that your phone may contain substances that could create an allergic reaction.Always handle your phone with care and keep it in a clean and dust-free place.You are advised to switch off the telephone from time to time to optimise its performance.Do not allow your phone to be exposed to adverse weather or environmental conditions (moisture, humidity, rain, infiltration of liquids, dust,sea air, etc.). The manufacturer’s recommended operating temperature range is -20°C to +55°C. Over 55°C the legibility of the phone’s displaymay be impaired, though this is temporary and not serious. Do not open or attempt to repair your cellphone yourself.Do not drop, throw or try to bend your cellphone.Do not paint it.Use only Alcatel batteries, battery chargers, and accessories that are compatible with your phone model. (See Accessories List, chapter 99).TCL & Alcatel Mobile Phones Limited and its affiliates disclaim any liability for damage caused by the use of other chargers or batteries.Your phone should not be disposed of in a municipal dump.

General Information ............................................•Web site: www.tcl-alcatel-mp.com - WAP address: wap.tcl-alcatel-mp.com•Hot Line Number: see “TCL & Alcatel Mobile Phones Services” leaflet or go to our Internet site.On our Internet site, you will find our FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) section. You can also contact usmy e-mail to ask any questions you may have. An electronic version of this user guide is available in English and other languages according to availability onour server: www.tcl-alcatel-mp.comYour telephone is a transceiver that operates on GSM networks with 900, 1800 and 1900 MHz bands.The  marking indicates that your telephone complies with "1999/5/EC (R&TTE)" directive and that theaccessories concerned comply with current EC directives. The entire copy of the Declaration of Conformityfor your telephone can be obtained through our website: www.tcl-alcatel-mp.com.Protection against theft (1)Your telephone is identified by an IMEI (phone serial number) shown on the packaging label and in theproduct’s memory. We recommend that you note the number the first time you use your telephone byentering  ,  ,  ,  ,  and keep it in a safe place. It may be requested by the police or youroperator if your telephone is stolen. This number allows your mobile telephone to be blocked preventing athird person from using it, even with a different SIM card.February 20058Characteristics of power supply (depending on the country):• 110 V charger (used in Mexico): • 220 V charger:Input: 100-127 V, 50/60 Hz, 0.30 A Input: 220-240 V, 50/60 Hz, 0.30 AOutput: 4.5 V, 350 mA Output: 4.5 V, 350 mA• Travel charger:  • Battery: Lithium 3,7V  650mAhInput: 100-240 V, 50/60 Hz, 0.15 AOutput: 6.5 V, 350 mA•RADIO WAVES:THIS CELLPHONE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT’S REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.Your cellphone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio-frequency (RF) energy. These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population.The guidelines are based on standards that were developed by independent scientific organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation ofscientific studies. These guidelines include a substantial safety margin designed to ensure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.The exposure standard for cellphones employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate,  or SAR. The SAR limit set bypublic authorities such as the Federal Communications Commission of the US Government (FCC), the Australian Communications Authority(ACA) or by Industry Canada, is 1.6 W/kg averaged over 1 gram of body tissue. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positionswith 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 themaximum value. This is because the phone is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the power required to reach thenetwork. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output of the phone. Before a phone model isavailable for sale to the public, compliance with national regulations and standards must be shown.The highest SAR value for this model phone when tested for use at the ear is 0.32 W/Kg and for use close to the body is 0.96 W/Kg. Whilethere may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones and at various positions, they all meet the government requirement for RFexposure. For body-worn operation, the phone meets FCC RF exposure guidelines provided that it is used with a non-metallic accessory withthe handset at least 1.5 cm from the body. Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines.The World Health Organization (WHO) considers that present scientific information does not indicate the need for any special precautions foruse of cellphones. If individuals are concerned, they might choose to limit their own or their children's RF exposure by limiting the length ofcalls, or using "hands-free" devices to keep cellphones away from the head and body. (fact sheet n°193).Additional WHO information aboutelectromagnetic fields and public health are available on the following website: http://www.who.int/peh-emf.Your telephone is equipped with a built-in antenna. For optimal operation, you should avoid touching it or degrading it (see page 14).7(1) Contact your network operator to check service availability.CTH3_UM_FCC_15-03-05  15/03/05  9:17  Page 7
