When the device 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 device, you should hold it against the ear on the opposite side to the device, if any.
To avoid hearing impairment, 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 device and/or play with the device and accessories without supervision.
When replacing the cover please note that your device may contain substances that could create an allergic reaction.
Always handle your device with care and keep it in a clean and dust-free place.
Do not allow your device 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 to +45°C.
At over 45°C the legibility of the device’s display may be impaired, though this is temporary and not serious.
Do not open, dismantle or attempt to repair your device yourself.
Do not drop, throw or bend your device.
Do not use the device if the glass made screen is damaged, cracked or broken to avoid any injury.
Do not paint it.
Use only battery chargers and accessories which are recommended by TCT Mobile Limited and its affiliates and are compatible with your 
device model. TCT Mobile Limited and its affiliates disclaim any liability for damage caused by the use of other chargers or accessories.
Remember to make back-up copies or keep a written record of all important information stored in your device.
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 device or enabling a flashing-lights 
feature on your device. 
						

							17
Parents should monitor their children’s use of video games or other features that incorporate flashing lights on the device. 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 device, 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.
● 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 device 
phone regarding taking photographs and recording sounds with your device. 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 authorization 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 device (including the operator) disclaim any liability which may result from the improper use of the device.
● BATTERY
There is an inner battery in this device. Observe the following precautions for battery use:
- Please do not attempt to open the cover and pick up the battery. 
						

							18
- This battery must be disposed of in accordance with locally applicable environment regulations.
This symbol on your device, the battery and the accessories means that these products must be taken to 
collection points at the end of their life:
- Municipal waste disposal centers with specific bins for these items of equipment.
- Collection bins at points of sale.
They will then be recycled, preventing substances being disposed of in the environment, so that their components can be reused.
In European Union countries:
These collection points are accessible free of charge.
All products with this sign must be brought to these collection points.
In non-European Union jurisdictions:
Items of equipment with this symbol are not to be thrown into ordinary bins if your jurisdiction or your region has suitable recycling and 
collection facilities; instead they are to be taken to collection points for them to be recycled.
● CHARGERS
Mains powered chargers will operate within the temperature range of: 0°C to 40°C.
The chargers designed for your device meet with the standard for safety of information technology equipment and office equipment use. They 
are also compliant to the eco design directive 2009/125/EC. Due to different applicable electrical specifications, a charger you purchased in 
one jurisdiction may not work in another jurisdiction. They should be used for this purpose only.
●  RADIO WAVES 
						

							19
THIS DEVICE MEETS INTERNATIONAL GUIDELINES FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES
Your 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:
Maximum SAR for this model and conditions under which it was recorded:
EVO7  WIFI+Blue Tooth version (Body-worn) 0.0962 W/kg
EVO7 3G Module v ersion - Optional (Body-worn) WCDMA2100 0.859 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 device is automatically decreased when full power is 
not needed. The lower the power output of the device, the lower its SAR value.
Body-worn SAR testing has been carried out at a separation distance of 1.5 cm. 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 device the 
indicated distance away from the body.
Organizations such as the World Health Organization and the US Food and Drug Administration have suggested that if people are concerned 
and want to reduce their exposure they could use a hands-free accessory to keep the wireless device away from the head or body during 
use, or reduce the amount of time spent on the device.
