Safety and use .................................................
We recommend that you read this chapter carefully before using your phone.
The manufacturer disclaims any liability for damage, which may result as a
consequence of improper use or use contrary to the instructions contained
herein.
• TRAFFIC SAFETY:
Given that studies show that using a mobile phone 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 mobile when the vehicle is
not parked.
When driving, do not use your phone and headphone to listen to music or the
radio. Using a headphone can be dangerous and forbidden in some areas.
When switched on, your phone 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 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
dashboard is adequately shielded from mobile phone RF energy.
• CONDITIONS OF USE:
You are advised to switch off the telephone from time to time to optimise its
performance.
Switch the phone off before boarding an aircraft.
Switch the phone off when you are in health care facilities, except in
designated areas. 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.
Switch the phone off when you are near gas or flammable liquids. Strictly obey
all signs and instructions posted in a fuel depot, petrol station, or chemical
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, etc. 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 using the “hands-free”
mode because the amplified volume might cause hearing damage.
Do not let children use the phone and/or play with the telephone and
accessories without supervision.
If your phone has a removable cover, note that your phone may contain
substances that could create an allergic reaction.
If your phone is a unibody device, the back cover and battery are not removable.
If you disassemble your phone the warranty will not apply. Disassembling the
phone may damage the battery, and may cause leakage of substances that
could create an allergic reaction.
Always handle your phone with care and keep it in a clean and dust-free place.
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 +60°C.
At over 60°C the legibility of the phone’s display may be impaired, though this
is temporary and not serious.
Emergency call numbers may not be reachable on all mobile networks. You
should never rely only on your phone for emergency calls.
Do not open, dismantle or attempt to repair your mobile phone yourself.
Do not drop, throw or bend your mobile phone.
Do not use the phone if the glass made screen, is damaged, cracked or broken
to avoid any injury.
Do not paint it.
Use only batteries, battery chargers, and accessories which are recommended
by TCL Communication Ltd. and its affiliates and are compatible with your
phone model. TCL Communication Ltd. and its affiliates disclaim any liability for
damage caused by the use of other chargers or batteries.
Remember to make back-up copies or keep a written record of all important
information stored in your phone.
Some people may suffer epileptic seizures or blackouts when exposed to
flashing lights, or when playing video games. These seizures or blackouts may
occur even if a person never had a previous seizure or blackout. If you have
experienced seizures or blackouts, or if you have a family history of such
occurrences, please consult your doctor before playing video games on your
phone or enabling a flashing-lights feature on your phone.
6 7
Parents should monitor their children’s use of video games or other features
that incorporate flashing lights on the phones. All persons should discontinue
use and consult a doctor if any of the following symptoms occur: convulsion,
eye or muscle twitching, loss of awareness, 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.
- 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.
When you play games on your phone, you may experience occasional
discomfort in your hands, arms, shoulders, neck, or other parts of your body.
Follow the instructions to avoid problems such as tendinitis, carpal tunnel
syndrome, or other musculoskeletal disorders.
PROTECT YOUR HEARING
To prevent possible hearing damage, do not listen at high volume
levels for long periods. Exercise caution when holding your device
near your ear while the loudspeaker is in use.
• PRIVACY:
Please note that you must respect the laws and regulations in force in
your jurisdiction or other jurisdiction(s) where you will use your mobile
phone regarding taking photographs and recording sounds with 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 duplicate 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 vendor of your mobile phone (including the
operator) disclaim any liability which may result from the improper use of the
mobile phone.
• BATTERY:
Following new air regulation, the battery of your product is not charged. Please
charge it first.
For non-unibody device:
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 household rubbish or store it at
temperatures above 60°C.
Batteries must be disposed of in accordance with locally applicable
environmental regulations. Only use the battery for the purpose for which it
was designed. Never use damaged batteries or those not recommended by TCL
Communication Ltd. and/or its affiliates.

POWER charging port.
2) Connect the other side of the cable to the device you want to charge.
3) Once both devices are connected, the other connected device will start to
charge automatically.
• FAST CHARGINGN
Use the cable in-pack for faster charging.
*Smartphone usage profile represents the typical daily scenarios (watching
online and local HD videos, web browsing, playing games, listening to music,
taking pictures, recording videos, calling, texting).
• RADIO WAVES:
Proof of compliance with international standards (ICNIRP) or with European
Directive 1999/5/EC (R&TTE) is required of all mobile phone models before
they can be put on the market. The protection of the health and safety for the
user and any other person is an essential requirement of these standards or
this directive.
THIS DEVICE MEETS INTERNATIONAL GUIDELINES FOR EXPOSURE TO
RADIO WAVES
Your mobile device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed not to
exceed the limits for exposure to radio waves (radio frequency electromagnetic
fields) recommended by international guidelines. The guidelines were developed
by an independent scientific organization (ICNIRP) and include a substantial
safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age
and health.
The radio wave exposure guidelines use a unit of measurement known as the
Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit for mobile devices is 2 W/kg.
Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions with the device
transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands.
The highest SAR values under the ICNIRP guidelines for this device model are:
5023E:
Maximum SAR for this model and conditions under which it was
recorded.
Head SAR UMTS 900 + Wi-Fi 0.357 W/kg
Body-worn SAR UMTS 2100 + Wi-Fi 1.552 W/kg
5023F:
Maximum SAR for this model and conditions under which it was
recorded.
Head SAR GSM 900 + Wi-Fi 0.408 W/kg
Body-worn SAR UMTS 2100 + Wi-Fi 1.472 W/kg
During use, the actual SAR values for this device are usually well below the
values stated above. This is because, for purposes of system efficiency and
to minimize interference on the network, the operating power of your mobile
device is automatically decreased when full power is not needed for the call.
The lower the power output of the device, the lower its SAR value.
10 11
Body-worn SAR testing has been carried out at a separation distance of
5 mm. To meet RF exposure guidelines during body-worn operation, the device
should be positioned at least this distance away from the body.
If you are not using an approved accessory ensure that whatever product is
used is free of any metal and that it positions the phone the indicated distance
away from the body.
Organizations such as the World Health Organization and the US Food and
Drug Administration have stated that if people are concerned and want to
reduce their exposure they could use a hands-free device to keep the phone
away from the head and body during phone calls, or reduce the amount of time
spent on the phone.
For more information you can go to www.alcatel-mobile.com
Additional information about electromagnetic fields and public health are
available on the following site: 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.
As mobile devices offer a range of functions, they can be used in positions
other than against your ear. In such circumstances the device will be compliant
with the guidelines when used with headset or USB data cable. If you are using
another accessory ensure that whatever product is used is free of any metal and
that it positions the phone at least 5 mm away from the body.
Please note by using the device some of your personal data may be shared
with the main device. It is under your own responsibility to protect your
own personal data, not to share with it with any unauthorized devices or
third party devices connected to yours. For products with Wi-Fi features,
only connect to trusted Wi-Fi networks. Also when using your product as a
hotspot (where available), use network security. These precautions will help
prevent unauthorized access to your device. Your product can store personal
information in various locations including a SIM card, memory card, and built-in
memory. Be sure to remove or clear all personal information before you recycle,
return, or give away your product. Choose your apps and updates carefully,
and install from trusted sources only. Some apps can impact your product’s
performance and/or have access to private information including account
details, call data, location details and network resources.
Note that any data shared with TCL Communication Ltd. is stored in
accordance with applicable data protection legislation. For these purposes
TCL Communication Ltd. implements and maintains appropriate technical
and organizational measures to protect all personal data, for example against
unauthorized or unlawful processing and accidental loss or destruction of or
damage to such personal data whereby the measures shall provide a level of
security that is appropriate having regard to
(i) the technical possibilities available,
(ii) the costs for implementing the measures,
(iii) the risks involved with the processing of the personal data, and
