Safety And Use - Alcatel 2053 Manual

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 to 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.
When replacing the cover 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.
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 0°C (32°F) to +40°C (104°F).
At over 40°C (104°F) 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 network.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.

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, consult your doctor before playing video games on your phone or enabling a
flashing-lights feature on your phone.
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, 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

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.

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
