Safety Precautions

Remember to comply with legal requirements and local

restrictions when using the phone.

Your Phone’s radio waves may interfere with inadequately

shielded medical devices. Consult a physician or

manufacturer of the medical device to know whether they are

adequately shielded from external Radio Frequency. Switch

off your device when regulations require you to do so.

Always keep the phone and accessories out of reach of small

children. Small parts such as the SIM card, dust cap, lens ring

and lens cap as well as the micro SD card can be dismantled

and swallowed by small children.

Do not place the phone near electromagnetic data carriers

such as credit/Debit cards. Information stored on them could

be lost.

Permanent hearing loss may occur if you use earphones at

high volume for prolonged periods. Set your volume to a safe

level. If you experience discomfort in your ears, reduce the

volume or discontinue the use of your earphones.

Ring tones, info tones and hands-free talking are reproduced

through the loudspeaker. Do not hold the phone to the ear

when it rings or when you have switched on the hands-free

function.

The mains voltage (V) specified on the power supply unit

must not be exceeded to prevent damage to the charging

device. The power supply must be plugged into an easily

accessible AC power socket when charging the battery.

You may only open the phone to replace the battery, SIM

and micro SD card. You must not open the battery under any

circumstances. All other changes to this device are strictly

prohibited and will invalidate the warranty.

The phone may cause interference in the vicinity of TV sets,

radios and PCs.

Only use Micromax specified batteries and charging devices.

All batteries can cause property damage, injury or burns if a

conductive material taps the exposed terminals. Exercise care

in handling any charged battery, particularly when placing it

inside your pocket, purse or other container with metal

objects. Do not dispose of batteries in fire as they may

explode.

Do not use the phone while driving. When you have to use

the phone, please use the personal hands-free kit.

Please put the phone safely in the phone stand. Do not put it

onto any passenger seat or any place from which it may fall

down in case of vehicular collision or emergency braking.

Flight is influenced by interference caused by the phone. It is

illegal to use a phone on the airplane. Please turn off your

phone during a flight.

Professional service: The phone must be installed or repaired

by Micromax authorized personnel. You are likely to suffer a

huge risk when you install or repair this phone by yourself,

which also goes against the warranty rules.

Taking Care of your device

Your device is a product of superior design and craftsmanship and should be

handled with care. The following suggestions will help you protect your phone.

 Keep the device dry. Precipitation, humidity, and all types of liquids

or moisture can rust the electronic circuits. If your device gets wet,

remove the battery, wipe it with a dry cloth and take it to an

authorized service center.

 Do not store the device in high or cold temperature. High

temperatures can shorten the life of electronic devices and damage

batteries.

 Do not use or store the device in dusty, dirty areas. Its moving parts

and electronic components can get damaged.

 Do not attempt to open the device other than as instructed in this

guide. Repairing this phone by yourself other than our authorized

service agents/centers goes against the warranty rules.

 Do not drop, knock, or shake the device. Rough handling can break

internal circuit boards and fine mechanics.

 Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents

to clean the device. Only use a soft, clean, dry cloth to clean the

surface of the device.

 Do not store your device near magnetic fields or allow your device

to come in contact with magnetic fields for extended period of time.

Battery Recommendations

 Please put the battery in a cool and well-ventilated place out of

direct sunlight. We recommend you to charge the battery at room

temperature range.

 Batteries have life cycles. If the time that the battery powers

equipment becomes much shorter than usual, the battery life is at

an end. Replace the battery with a new battery of the same make

and specification.

 Use manufacturer approved batteries, chargers, accessories and

supplies. Micromax will not be held responsible for user’s safety

when using unapproved accessories or supplies.

 Do not discard the battery with household trash. Please dispose of
