Safety and use ......................
We recommend that you read this chapter carefully before using your cellphone.The
manufacturer disclaims any liability for damage, which may result as a consequence
of improper use or use contrary to the instructions contained in this manual.
TRAFFIC SAFETY:
Recent studies show that using a cellphone while driving a vehicle constitutes a real
risk, even when the hands-free kit is used (headset...), drivers are requested to refrain
from using their cellphone when the vehicle is not parked. Check the laws and
regulations on the use of wireless telephones and their accessories in the areas
where you drive. Always obey them.The use of these devices may be prohibited or
restricted in certain areas.
When switched on, your cellphone 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 cellphone on top of the dashboard or within an airbag
deployment area.
- check with your dealer or car manufacturer to make sure that the car’s
electronics devices are well shielded.
CONDITIONS OF USE:
You are advised to switch off your cellphone from time to time to optimize
performance.
Switch the cellphone off before boarding aircraft.
Switch the cellphone off when you are in health care facilities, except in designated
areas. As with many other types of equipment now in regular use, cellphones can
interfere with other electrical or electronic devices, or equipment using radio
frequency.
Switch the cellphone off 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.
When the cellphone 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.When using the cellphone
you should hold it against the ear on the opposite side to the device, if any.To avoid
hearing impairment, press to answer the call before holding your cellphone to your
ear.Also move the handset away from your ear while using the “hands-free” option
because the amplified volume might cause hearing damage.
Do not let small children use the cellphone without supervision.
When replacing the cover please note that your cellphone may contain substances
that could create an allergic reaction.

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 of scientific 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 by public authorities such as the
Federal Communications Commission of the US Government (FCC) or by Industry
Canada, is 1.6 W/kg averaged over 1 gram of body tissue. Tests for SAR are
conducted using standard operating positions with the cellphone 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 cellphone while operating can be well below the maximum value.This is
because the cellphone 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
wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output of the cellphone. Before
a cellphone model is available for sale to the public, compliance with national
regulations and standards must be shown.
My cellphone does 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 hissing sound.
Make sure charging is carried out under normal conditions (0°C
+40°C)
Make sure your battery is inserted. It must be inserted bef
ore
plugging in the charger
Make sure you are using an Alcatel battery and charger
When abroad, check that the electrical current is compatible
NOTICE: Your cellphone is not designed for chargers connected
through USB cable to a computer. Please use dedicated charger to
charge your cellphone.
My cellphone does 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 was 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 dialed a valid number and pressed the key
For international calls, make sure you have entered the country and
area codes
Make sure your cellphone is connected to a network, and that the
network is not overloaded or unavailable
Check your subscription with your operator (credit, SIM card valid,
etc.)
Make sure you have not barred outgoing calls
The highest SAR value for this cellphone when tested is:
OT-S120A: 1.26 W/kg for use at the ear and 0.74 W/kg for use close to the body
OT-S121A: 1.24 W/kg for use at the ear and 0.70 W/kg for use close to the body
OT-S210A: 1.27 W/kg for use at the ear and 0.97 W/kg for use close to the body.
OT-S211A: 1.32 W/kg for use at the ear and 0.87 W/kg for use close to the body.
OT-V212A: XXX W/kg for use at the ear and XXX W/kg for use close to the body
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various cellphones and at
various positions, they all meet the government requirement for RF exposure. For
body-worn operation, the cellphone meets FCC RF exposure guidelines provided
that it is used with a non-metallic accessory with the handset at least 2.0 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 for use of
cellphones. 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 cellphones away from the head and body (fact sheet n°193).Additional WHO
information about electromagnetic fields and public health are available on the
following website: http://www.who.int/peh-emf.
