If your phone has been lost or stolen, notify your network service provider and ask for the SIM card to be disabled (network support is required). This can avoid economic loss caused by unauthorised use.

Safety warning and Attentions

Safety Warning

•Road safety comes first

Do not use a hand-held phone while driving. Use hands-free fittings when calls are unavoidable while driving. In some countries, dialling or receiving calls while driving is illegal. Please check with your local authorities regarding using a mobile phone while driving.

°Switch off in aircraft

Wireless devices can cause interference in aircraft. Please make sure to only use your phone when switched to Airplane mode when in an aircraft. Go to Menu >Settings >Phones settings >Airplane mode

°Switch off before entering risk areas

Strictly observe the relevant laws, codes, and regulations on the use of mobile phones in risk areas.

Turn off your mobile phone before entering a place susceptible to explosion, such as an oil

station, oil tank, chemical plant or a place where a blasting process is under way.

°Observe all special regulations

Follow any special regulations in force in any area such as hospitals and always switch off your phone whenever it is forbidden to use it or, when it may cause interference or danger. Carefully use your mobile phone near medical apparatuses, such as pacemakers, hearing aids and some other electronic medical devices, as it may cause interference to such apparatus.

•Interference

The conversation quality of any mobile phone may be affected by radio interference. An antenna is built inside the mobile phone and located near the microphone. Do not touch the antenna area during a conversation; this will cause conversation quality to deteriorate.

• Qualified service

Only qualified Aspera personnel or approved agent may install or repair phone equipment. Installing or repairing the mobile phone yourself may be dangerous and may break the warranty terms.

•Accessories and batteries

The Aspera Swift box will come with an Aspera charger and battery. The recommended charging time for the Aspera Swift is 3-4 hours when the battery is low. Do not leave it charging overnight as this may damage the battery.

ONLY USE ASPERA APPROVED CHARGERS, CABLES AND BATTERIES.

°Headsets

The Aspera Swift box will include a pair of earphones. It will show the icon at top of screen when you insert the earphones. Ensure that the earphones are plugged into the jack correctly to ensure clarity in the audio.

°Emergency calls

Precautions

This mobile phone has an intricate design. Please exercise special care when using it. The following suggestions will help your mobile phone survive the warranty period and extend its service life:
