Your Phone's radio waves may interfere with medical devices.

Preferably maintain a distance of 15.3 cm (6 inches) between a wireless device and implanted medical devices such as pacemaker or cardioverter defibrillator. 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 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 damage to hearing may occur if you use earphones at high volume for prolonged periods. Set your volume to a safe level.

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.

Flight is influenced by interference caused by the phone. It is not advised to switch on a phone during flight.

Please repair the device at Micromax authorized service center only. Repairing the device by yourself invalidates the warranty rules.

Taking Care of your device

Your device is a product of superior design and craftsmanship and should be handled with care in the following ways:

• Keep the device dry. Precipitation, humidity, and all types of liquids can rust the electronic circuits. If your device gets wet, wipe it with a dry cloth and take it to an authorized service center.
• Do not store the device in high or cold temperature. Extreme 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.
• Do not drop, knock, shake or bend 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 or bring your device near magnetic fields for extended period of time.

Battery Recommendations

• We recommend you to charge the device at room temperature range.
- Batteries have life cycles. After a full charge, if the power reserve of the battery tends to deplete inordinately faster than usual, the battery life is at an end.
- Use only Micromax chargers and cables. Micromax will not be held responsible for user's safety when using incompatible accessories or supplies.

Temperature and Humidity

The device is designed for use within a temperature range of -20^ ± 5 to 45^ ± 5 , storage within the temperature range of -30^ ± 5 to 65^ ± 5 . In case of violation of these temperature conditions, the device can be damaged and battery life can be reduced.

The recommended humidity for maintaining the device is in the range 50 to 55%.

Do not expose your device to extreme temperatures or humidity.

SAR Information

SAR Compliance

• Your device is designed not to exceed the limits of emission of radio waves recommended by international guidelines.
• SAR (Specific Absorption Rate) is the measurement of body-absorbed RF quantity when the device is in use. SAR value is ascertained according to the highest RF level generated during laboratory tests.
• The SAR value of the device may depend on factors such as proximity to the network tower, or use of accessories.
• The SAR value of the device at the head and body are 0.39 W/kg and 1.18 W/kg respectively averaged over 1 gm of human tissue.

SAR Recommendations

• Use a wireless hands-free system (headphone, headset) with a low power Bluetooth emitter.
• Keep your calls short and use SMS whenever more convenient. This advice applies especially to children, adolescents and pregnant women.
• Prefer to use your handset when the signal quality is good.
• People having active medical implants should preferably keep the handset at least 15 cm away from the implant.
• Maintain a preferable distance of 15 mm from the device.

The FCC Advice

Many people mistakenly assume that using a cell phone with a lower reported SAR value necessarily decreases a user's exposure to RF emissions, or is somehow "safer" than using a cell phone with a high SAR value. While SAR values are an important tool in judging the maximum possible exposure to RF energy from a particular model of cell phone, a single SAR value does not provide sufficient information about the amount of RF exposure under typical usage conditions to reliably compare individual handset models.

World Health Organization (WHO) Advice

Organizations such as the World Health Organization and the US Food and Drug Administration have stated that if people are concerned and want to reduce their exposure they could use a hands-free device to keep the handset away from the head and body during phone calls, or reduce the amount of time spent on the phone.
