• 
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 mobile phone 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 before
plugging in the charger
Make sure you are using an Alcatel battery and charger
When abroad, check that the electrical current is compatible
My mobile phone 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 dialled a valid number and pressed the 
key
For international calls, make sure you have entered the country and
area codes
Make sure your mobile phone 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-E101A: 1.24 W/kg for use at the ear and 0.62 W/kg for use close to the body.
OT-E201A: XXX W/kg for use at the ear and XXX W/kg for use close to the body
OT-E207A: XXX W/kg for use at the ear and XXX W/kg for use close to the body
NOTE:This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a
Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the
equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates,
uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause
harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the
interference at his own expense.
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
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.
Your telephone is equipped with a built-in antenna. For optimal operation, you
should avoid touching it or degrading it.
