Care and safety information

SAR

THIS MODEL MEETS INTERNATIONAL GUIDELINES FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES

Your mobile device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio waves recommended by international guidelines. These guidelines were developed by the independent scientific organization ICNIRP and include safety margins designed to assure the protection of all persons, regardless of age and health.

The guidelines use a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit for mobile devices is 2 W/kg and the highest SAR value for this device when tested at the ear was 0.97 W/kg (*). As mobile devices offer a range of functions, they can be used in other positions, such as on the body as described in this user guide (**).

As SAR is measured utilizing the devices highest transmitting power the actual SAR of this device while operating is typically below that indicated above. This is due to automatic changes to the power level of the device to ensure it only uses the minimum level required to reach the network.

The World Health Organization has stated that present scientific information does not indicate the need for any special precautions for the use of mobile devices. They note that if you want to reduce your exposure then you can do so by limiting the length of calls or using a 'hands-free' device to keep the mobile phone away from the head and body. Additional Information can be found on the websites of the World Health Organization (http://www.who.int/emf)

Advice for limiting exposure to radiofrequency (RF) fields

For individuals concerned about limiting their exposure to RF fields, the World Health Organization (WHO) provides the following advice:

Precautionary measures: Present scientific information does not indicate the need for any special precautions for the use of mobile phones. 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 mobile phones away from the head and body.

Further information on this subject can be obtained from the WHO home page http://www.who.int/peh-emf WHO Fact sheet 193: June 2000.

(*) The tests are carried out in accordance with international guidelines for testing.
(**) Please see the Distance of operation section about body worn operation, page 47.

Safety

Never attempt to disassemble your phone. You alone are responsible for how you use your phone and any consequences of its use.

As a general rule, always switch off your phone wherever the use of a phone is prohibited.

Use of your phone is subject to safety measures designed to protect users and their environment.

Do not use your phone in damp areas (bathroom, swimming pool...). Protect it from liquids and other moisture.

Do not expose your phone to extreme temperatures lower than - 10°C an higher than + 55°C.

The physicochemical processes created by chargers impose temperature limits when charging the battery. Your phone automatically protects the batteries in extreme temperatures.

Do not leave your phone within the reach of small children (certain removable parts may be accidentally ingested).

Electrical safety

Only use the chargers listed in the manufacturer's catalogue. Using any other charger may be dangerous; it would also invalidate your warranty. Line voltage must be exactly the one indicated on the charger's serial plate.

When travelling by plane, you will need to switch your phone off when so instructed by the cabin crew or the warning signs. Using a mobile phone may be dangerous to the operation of the aircraft and may disrupt the phone network.

Its use is illegal and you could be prosecuted or banned from using cellular networks in the future if you do not abide by these regulations.

Explosive materials

Please comply with warning signs at petrol station asking you to switch your phone off. You will need to comply with radio equipment usage restrictions in places such as chemical plants, fuel depots and at any location where blasting operations are under way.

Electronic equipment

To avoid the risk of demagnetisation, do not let electronic devices close to your phone for a long time.

Electronic medical equipment

Your phone is a radio transmitter which may interfere with electronic medical equipment or implants, such as hearing aids, pacemakers, insulin pumps, etc. It is recommended that a minimum separation of 15 cm be maintained between the phone and an implant. Your doctor or the manufacturers of such equipment will be able to give you any advice you may need in this area.

Hospitals

Always make sure that your phone is switched off in hospitals when so instructed by warning signs or by medical staff.

Road safety

Do not use your phone when driving. In order to give your full attention to driving, stop and park safely before making a call. You must comply with any current legislation.

Distance of operation

This phone model has been tested and meets radiofrequency exposure guidelines when used as follows:

- against the ear: place or receive a phone call and hold the phone as you would a wireline telephone,

- body worn: when transmitting, place the phone in a carry accessory that contains no metal and positions the phone a minimum of 1.5 cm form your body. Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with radiofrequency exposure guidelines.

Java™

You are the owner of a SAGEM i-mode™ mobile phone that allows you to download DoJa™ applications and games that can run on your phone thanks to the built-in, i-mode-compatible Java™ engine. However, the ability to receive applications from anywhere requires you to have some basic knowledge of the possible effects of such downloads. In order to avoid performing actions without weighing up the consequences, it is strongly recommended that you read the following pages, which contain a warning and security information.

SAGEM my501C - Java™ - 1

SAGEM my501C - Java™ - 2

What is Java™, DoJa™?

Java ^™ is a new technology that allows the use of powerful applications on mobile phones. DoJa ^™ is the Java ^™ profile that is specific to i-mode ^™ handsets.

The end user can easily download DoJa™ applications and games onto an i-mode™ handset equipped with Java™ and the DoJa™ profile.

Your mobile phone is a DoJa™ 1.5-compatible Java™ platform that provides multimedia support options, thus offering a user-friendly environment in which to run advanced applications that can interact with the network.

For example, these can include action and logic games, e-mail management applications or diaries.

What is a DoJa™ application?

A DoJa ^TM application is a Java ^TM program or game designed to run on an i-mode ^TM mobile phone.

The applications consist of 2 files:

  • A JAM file
  • A JAR file

JAM is the acronym for Java™ Application Manager. This is a small file that describes the contents of a JAR file (date modified, version, size...) and which is displayed on the mobile phone. JAM files are smaller than 2 kilobytes.

JAR is the acronym for Java™ Archive and refers to the actual application data (program, images and sound). The size of a JAR file can reach 30 kilobytes. NOTE: a scratchpad of up to 100 kilobytes is dedicated to the application for the downloading of additional resources (images, sound...).

Downloading a DoJa™ application

The i-mode™ browser allows you to easily download DoJa™ applications onto your phone.

You will first receive a JAM file which will be displayed on the screen of your phone.

The contents of this file (popup menu) must be checked extremely carefully, as explained in detail below.

When you select a JAM file, your mobile phone downloads it, displays the data it contains and prompts you to confirm the file download.

The popup menu displays the following information:

  • Application name (in the title)
  • Version
  • Size of the JAR file
  • Security subsystem(s) used (IMPORTANT: see "Security considerations" in the paragraph below): network usage, time interval if automatic startup is used
  • Other information that may be displayed: name of the JAR, parameters, Java™ profile used, URL of the JAR file, scratchpad size

If you do not wish to download the main data (JAR file), select "Cancel" to refuse to consume more airtime; the JAR file will not be downloaded. If you accept to install the application, select "OK". The application will be installed.

Before an application is downloaded, the following message may be displayed: "Your handset cannot identify the application. Please check the source of the application before you install it."

Read the two paragraphs below carefully in order to fully understand the security issues relating to Java ^™ .

WARNING: When you run an application, you may be prompted to grant access to protected features. These features are protected because their use may cause you to incur costs or expose your personal data. Read the popup security messages carefully to find out the security subsystem required and to assess whether the application is trying to carry out a legitimate task. If in doubt, don't hesitate to deny access by selecting the "No" button. The security configuration menu is an advanced feature. You must be fully aware of what you are doing before attempting to alter an application's security settings. Making inappropriate changes may lead to the application malfunctioning and/or place your personnel data or airtime at greater risk. You are responsible for any changes made to the security configuration. Under no circumstance can Sagem Communication and/or your network provider be held liable for any damage resulting from such changes to the security settings. Be aware that depending on your operator's billing policy, you may be billed for the airtime used when downloading applications.

Security considerations

Java™ is an effective way of offering powerful applications on mobile phones. It allows a mobile phone's integrated features to be used via applications or games downloaded "over the air" (multimedia playback, network access...).

Your phone is equipped with a sophisticated access control system in order to protect your data and airtime.

The access control system comprises 2 security subsystems:

  • Network access (GPRS/GSM communications, HTTP/Web connections...)
  • Automatic startup (activation of the application at predefined intervals)

The "Network access" security subsystem has 3 possible authorization levels. These levels are listed from the most restrictive to the most permissive:

  • Never - This authorization level prevents all access to protected features.
  • Confirm - The user is prompted to grant access authorization to protected features each time the application is run
  • Always - This authorization level automatically grants access to protected features without restriction.

The "Auto. Startup" security subsystem has 2 authorization levels:

- Activate: the application will start up automatically at predefined intervals

- Deactivate: the application will not start up automatically.

Security configuration menu

When an application is installed on the mobile phone, the different "Network access" security authorizations are displayed and can be selected by the user. The security configuration of the "Network access" subsystem can be modified via the application's "Settings/Security" menu.

When you enter the "Security" menu, the application's security status is displayed (see "Security considerations" in the paragraph above).

If you do not wish to enter this menu, simply select the "Back" button.

To proceed, select the "OK" button.

The menu displayed allows you to increase or decrease the authorization levels applied to the current application.

Similarly, the security configuration of the "Auto. startup" subsystem can be altered via the application's "Settings/Auto.

Startup" menu.

Warranty

You must always use your phone for the purpose for which it was designed, under normal operating conditions. Sagem Communication declines all responsibility for any use outside of the scope of its designed purpose and for any consequences of this use.

The software program developed by SAGEM remains the exclusive property of Sagem Communication. It is therefore highly prohibited to modify, translate, de-compile or disassemble this software program or any part thereof.

Usage precautions

Your phone allows you to download ring tones, icons and animated screensavers. Some of these items may contain data that may cause malfunctions of your phone or data losses (virus for example).

For this reason, Sagem Communication rejects all responsibility concerning (1) the reception of downloaded data or losses of the said data, (2) the impact on the operation of the phone and (3) damages resulting from receiving the said downloaded data or loss of said data. In addition, Sagem Communication states that a failure caused by receiving downloaded data that do not comply with the specifications set by Sagem Communication is excluded from the warranty. Consequently, the diagnosis and repair of a phone infected by the said downloaded data will be at the expense of the customer.

Any content that you download to your phone may be protected by copyright belonging to third parties and consequently you may not have the right to use this content or its use may be restricted. Consequently it is up to you to ensure that you have permission, such as under the terms of a license agreement, to use any content that you download. Furthermore, Sagem Communication does not guarantee the accuracy nor the quality of any content that you download. You alone are responsible for the content that you download to your mobile phone and how you use it. Sagem Communication cannot be held responsible for this content nor for its use.

It is your responsibility to ensure compliance, at your own expense, with the laws and regulations applicable in the country where you use your phone.

Warranty conditions

Whenever you wish to make use of the warranty, please contact your vendor and present him with the purchasing paperwork that he gave you.

Phones that have been repaired or replaced as standard during the warranty period stated above are guaranteed (parts and labour) until the later of these two dates:

Expiry of the guarantee period of twelve (12) months stated above or three (3) months with effect from the date of support provided by Sagem Communication.

Your legal rights under the terms of applicable national law as well as your rights in relation to your retailer, as set out in the sales contract, remain applicable and are not in any way affected by this guarantee.

In any disputes, the phone is covered by the legal warranty against the consequences of faults or hidden defects in compliance with articles 1641 and subsequent of the French civil code.

2.

All faulty phones under warranty will be replaced or repaired free of charge at Sagem Communication's option (with the exclusion of repair of any other damage), once it has been specified that the work required for the application of the warranty will be done in a workshop and that the return costs (transport and insurance) of the phone to the address to be indicated to it by the Sagem Communication after-sales service, whose phone number will appear on the delivery note, will be charged to the customer.

Subject to essential legal provisions, Sagem Communication does not accept any warranty, explicit or implicit, other than the warranty provided expressly in this chapter, nor shall Sagem Communication accept responsibility for any immaterial and/or indirect damages (such as loss of orders, loss of profit or any other financial or commercial damage) under the warranty or not.

3.

The acceptance of a phone under warranty demands that a purchase document that is legible and without modification, stating vendor's name and address, date and place of purchase, type of phone and IMEI, are attached to the warranty, and that the information on the phone identification label is legible and that this label or any other seal has not been tampered with. The warranty applies in normal conditions of use.

Prior to sending the phone for repair, it is the customer's responsibility to backup at his expense the customized data stored in the phone (phonebook, settings, wallpapers). A list of backup facilities can be provided by Sagem Communication on request. The responsibility of Sagem Communication cannot be invoked if damage occurs to customer files, programs or data. The information or operating elements and the contents of files will not be re-installed in any case in the event of loss.

Sagem Communication may decide, at its option, to repair the phone with new or reconditioned parts, replace the phone with a new phone or, in any dispute, a phone in good working condition. During its work Sagem Communication reserves the facility to make, where necessary, any technical modifications to the phone where these modifications do not adversely affect its initial purpose.

Faulty parts to be replaced during a repair under warranty will become the property of Sagem Communication.

The phone repair and standstill time during the warranty period may not lead to an extension of the warranty period as stated in article 1 above, provided no other vital provisions have been agreed.

The application of the warranty is subject to the full payment of the sums due for the phone when the request for support is made.

4.

The following are excluded from the warranty:

5.

In the cases of warranty exclusion and of expiry of the warranty period, Sagem Communication shall draw up an estimate to be given to the customer for acceptance before any call-out. The repair and carriage costs (there and back) given in the accepted estimate will be charged to the customer.

These provisions are valid unless a special written agreement has been made with the customer. If one of the provisions turns out to infringe a legally essential rule that consumers could have the benefit of under the national legislation, this provision will not be applied, but all other provisions will remain valid.

Troubleshooting

The phone won't start and/or won't take a charge

The battery has completely lost its charge.

Connect the phone to the charger for between 5 and 30 minutes. The phone will only switch on after it has been charging for a few minutes.

You may use the phone again when the Start option is displayed on the screen.

If the phone still won't start after 30 minutes' charging, contact customer service.

SIM not present

Check if the SIM card is present and properly positioned / inserted.

Check the condition of the SIM card. If damaged, please go back to the operator's shop for advice. Contact your after-sales service if the message persists.

Incorrect PIN code

An incorrect PIN code has been entered. Be careful! Three incorrect PIN codes will block the SIM Card.

If a wrong PIN number is entered three times in succession, your SIM card is blocked. You must then:

- Enter the PUK (Personal Unblocking Key) code provided by your operator, and validate.

- Enter your PIN number and validate.

- Enter your PIN number again and validate.

After 5 or 10 failed attempts (depending on the type of SIM card), the SIM card is definitely locked. You must then contact your operator to obtain a new card.

SIM LOCKED

In certain cases, the handset can only be used with some types of SIM cards. This message means that the SIM card you are using does not fit with the phone. Take the SIM card out, and switch it back on. If the message SIM not present appears on the screen, you will need to check its compatibility next to the place where you bought it. If not, please contact your after-sales service.

No call connection

Check that the number you have dialled is correct.

If the letter R is displayed on the top right corner of the screen, without any network name displayed, only emergency services can be called.

Check the status of your credit.

Check that the SIM Card you are using offers the service you are requesting; check if its validity has not expired.

Check and deactivate the outgoing calls restriction when necessary.

The network could be saturated. Try later.

If the problem persists, please contact your Technical Helpdesk.

No receiving calls

Try to make a call in order to check that the phone and the network are operational.
