SAFETY AND
PRECAUTIONS
We recommend that you read this chapter carefully before use.The
manufacturer disclaims any liability for damage which may result as a
consequence of improper use or use contrary to the instructions
contained herein.
• CONDITIONS OF USE:
Switch the phone off before boarding an aircraft. Use could lead to
legal action against the user. Switch the phone off when in health care
facilities except in areas specified. Like many other types of
equipment now in regular use, mobile telephones can interfere with
other electrical or electronic devices in their proximity. Persons with
a medical device (such as a pacemaker, hearing aid, insulin pump)
should not carry the phone in a place close to the device. When
placing or receiving a call, persons with a pacemaker or hearing aid
should hold the telephone against the ear on the opposite side to the
device if any.
Switch your phone off when near gas or flammable liquids. Strictly
obey all signs and instructions when in a fuel depot or chemical plant,
at a refuelling point (service station) or in any potentially explosive
atmosphere. Do not let small children use the phone without
supervision. Do not attempt to open or repair it yourself. Use only
the batteries, battery chargers and accessories approved by the
manufacturer. The manufacturer disclaims any liability for damage
caused by use of other batteries, chargers or accessories. Do not
expose the phone to unfavourable environmental conditions
(humidity, rain, infiltration of liquids, dust, sea air, etc.). The
manufacturer’s recommended operating temperature range is: -20 °C
to +40 °C. Over 55°C the legibility of the phone’s display may be
impaired, though this is temporary and not serious.

4
GB BF3 11/06 6/09/01 10:01 Page 5

• BATTERY:
Before removing the battery from your phone, please make sure that
the phone is switched off.
Battery use precautions are: do not attempt to open the battery
(chemical substances may cause burns), do not pierce nor cause a
short-circuit in a battery, do not burn or dispose of a used battery in
household waste or store it at temperatures above 60 °C. Batteries
must be disposed of in accordance with locally applicable
environmental legislation. Batteries should not be used for other
purpose than the one they are designed for. Never use damaged
batteries.
• TRAFFIC SAFETY:
Remember to always check whether local legislation allows
operation of a mobile phone while driving a vehicle. When it is said
that the use of mobile phones while driving a vehicle is a risk factor,
we strongly recommend that you park the car before using the
phone. However if you intend to use your phone while driving, you
must use it connected to the Alcatel Car Kit accessory.
Your mobile phone when powered emits radiation likely to interfere
with the vehicle electronic systems such as anti-lock brakes (ABS,
airbag). Consequently, you should:
- avoid placing the phone on the dashboard
- connect imperatively the phone to an external antenna. The
antenna should be mounted and located away from the driver and
passengers or separated from them by a metal screen (e.g. the car
roof).
- check with the car manufacturer that the dashboard is adequately
shielded from mobile phone RF energy.
• ELECTRONIC WAVES:
THIS MOBILE PHONE COMPLIES WITH EUROPEAN
REQUIREMENTS ON ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVES.

5
GB BF3 11/06 6/09/01 10:01 Page 6

Validation of conformity with European directive 1999/5/EC

(R&TTE) is a requirement prior to launching any mobile phone
model on the market. Protection of public health and safety, in
particular the mobile phone users’ is the main aspect in this directive.
Your mobile phone is a radio transceiver. It has been designed to
operate under certain thresholds of exposure to Radio frequencies
(RF) recommended by the European Union Council (1) for people
and users. They were established by independent expert groups
based on scientific evaluations which are carried out regularly and in
detail. These limits allow for significant safety margin in order to
ensure everyone’s security whatever his or her age and health
condition.
Standard of exposure for mobile phones is determined by a
measurement standard called Specific Absorption Rate (SAR). The
SAR limit recommended by the European Union Council is 2.0 w/kg
(2). Testing has been performed on telephones emitting at maximal
strength level for all frequency bandwidths, on the basis of standard
using modes as defined by the current specifications. Although SARs
are tested at the highest strength possible, the actual SAR level in a
mobile phone in current use is normally way below the maximum
values obtained during the tests. Your mobile phone is designed to
operate at a level of strength strictly necessary to allow for its
connection to the network. In principle, the closer you are to a base
station antenna, the lower the mobile phone’s SAR strength level.
Your telephone is equipped with a built-in antenna. For optimal
operation, you should avoid touching it or degrading it.

! (1) EC Recommendation 1999/519/EC

(2) SAR limit on mobile phones in general is 2.0 watts/kg
at average for 10 g of human tissue. The limit includes
a significant safety margin to increase the user’s
protection and take into account measurements
variation.

16 WARRANTY

Congratulations for choosing this mobile phone - we hope that this product
will satisfy all your needs.
Notwithstanding any other applicable statutory warranties, this mobile phone
and the battery are guaranteed against any manufacturing defect for a period
of ONE (1) year from the date of purchase shown on your invoice.
Nevertheless, if the statutory warranty in force in your country exceeds one
(1) year, the statutory warranty will apply in place of the manufacturer’s
warranty. The present warranty terms also apply to the accessories but for a
period of SIX (6) months from the date of purchase shown on your invoice.
Under the terms of this warranty, you must inform your dealer or any
maintenance centre (see list of maintenance centres at our website -
www.alcatel.com) without delay of any defect and present the invoice given to
you at the time of purchase.
The dealer will decide whether to replace or repair, as appropriate, all or any
part of the equipment (telephone or accessory) found to be defective. This
warranty covers the cost of parts and labour but excludes any other costs.
Repair or replacement may be carried out using reconditioned components
offering equivalent functionality.
Servicing under the terms of this warranty, especially repair, modification or
replacement of parts shall entitle to a three month warranty unless there are
statutory provisions to the contrary.
This warranty shall not apply to damage or defects (to your telephone and/or
accessory) caused by:
• use not conforming with the instructions for use or installation,
• non observation of the technical and safety standards applicable in the
country where the equipment is used,
• improper maintenance of batteries and other sources of energy, and of the
overall electric installation,

75
GB BF3 11/06 6/09/01 10:03 Page 76

• Accidents or the consequences of theft, (of the vehicle), acts of vandalism,

lightning, fire, humidity, infiltration of liquids, atmospheric influences,
• Combination or integration of the equipment in hardware not supplied by
the manufacturer unless the latter gave written, explicit consent for such,
• Modifications, alterations, or repairs carried out by parties not authorised
by the manufacturer or by the maintenance centre,
• Use of the equipment for a purpose other than that for which it was
designed,
• Normal wear,
• Deterioration caused by external causes (RF interference produced by
other equipment, fluctuations in mains voltage and/or voltages on telephone
lines, etc),
• Modifications made to the equipment even if they are mandatory due to
changes in regulations and/or modification of network parameters,
• Connection faults resulting from unsatisfactory radio propagation or caused
by the absence of radio relay coverage.
Equipment on which markings or serial numbers have been
removed or altered, and handsets on which labels have been
removed or deteriorated shall be excluded from the warranty.
Apart from the statutory warranty, the above provisions constitute the only
claims which can be made against the manufacturer and dealer on the grounds
of equipment defects, this warranty excluding any other explicit or implied
warranty associated with sale of the equipment.
