7 Warnings and Precautions Mobile TV This section contains important information pertaining to correct and safe usage of your mobile phone. Read carefully before using your device. Electronic Device Switch off your in places that prohibit mobile phone use. Do not use your mobile phone when it can cause danger or interference with electronic devices. Medical Device Power off your device and follow the rules and regulations set by hospitals and health care facilities. Manufacturers recommend a minimum distance of 15 cm from the pacemaker to prevent mobile phones from potentially causing interferences with the pacemaker. If you are using a pacemaker, use the device on the opposite side of the pacemaker and do not carry the device in your front pocket. Some mobile phones have been found to affect the performance of hearing aids. For such issues, please consult your network provider. Potentially Explosive Atmospheres Comply with all signs and instructions. Power off your mobile phones in areas that are potentially explosive, or where you would normally be advised to switch off your vehicle s engine. Using your mobile phone in such areas can trigger sparks, which could cause an explosion or fire, resulting in bodily injuries or even death. Do not switch on your mobile phone at refueling points such as service stations. Comply with restrictions on the use of radio equipment in fuel depots, storage, and distribution areas, and chemical plants. You must adhere to restrictions in areas where blasting operations are in progress. 9
Before using your mobile phone, watch out for potentially explosive areas that are often, though not always, clearly marked. Such areas include below-deck on boats, chemical transfer or storage facilities, and areas where the air contains chemicals, grain, dust, or metal powders. Ask the manufacturers of vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane) if mobile phones can be safely used in their vicinity. Traffic Security Observe local laws and regulations while using your mobile phone. If you are using your mobile phone while driving a vehicle, please comply with the following guidelines: Concentrate on driving. Your first responsibility is to drive safely. Do not talk on your mobile phone while driving. Use hands-free accessories. Park your vehicle at the side of the road before making or answering a call. RF signals may affect electronic systems of some motor vehicles. For more information on this, consult your vehicle manufacturer. Do not place your mobile phone over the air bag or in the air bag deployment area. You may be injured by the device, owing to the strong force of its trajectory when the air bag inflates. Do not use your mobile phone while inside an aircraft. Switch off the device before boarding. Using wireless devices in an aircraft may be dangerous to the operation of the aircraft, disrupt pilot-ground communications, and may be considered illegal. 10
Operating Environment Do not use or charge your mobile phone in dusty, damp or dirty places, or areas with magnetic fields. Otherwise, the circuit may not function properly. Your mobile phone complies with RF specifications when used near your ear or at a distance of 1.5 cm from your body. Keep your mobile phone 1.5 cm away from your body to meet the aforementioned requirement. Ensure that accessories such as your mobile phone case or holster are not composed of metal components. Avoid using your mobile phone when charging in the middle of a storm to prevent possible dangers caused by lightning. Avoid touching the antenna while on a call. Touching the antenna affects call quality and increases power consumption. In effect, talk time and standby time are reduced considerably. Observe the local laws and regulations while using your mobile phone. Respect others' privacy and legal rights. Use accessories authorized by Starmobile. Using unauthorized accessories with your mobile phone will render the warranty null and void. Keep the ambient temperature between 0 C and 40 C during mobile phone. Preventing Hearing Damage Using the receiver, earbuds, headphones, speakerphone or earpieces at high volume can result in permanent hearing loss. Be extremely careful when listening at high decibel levels. Set the volume to a safe level. If you experience strange ringing sounds in your ears or if you hear muffled speech, get your hearing checked immediately. If you continue to use high volume, your hearing will soon get affected. 11
Hearing experts offer the following suggestions to protect your hearing: Reduce the time you use the receiver, earbuds, headphones, speakerphone, or earpieces at high volume. Do not increase the volume to block noisy surroundings. Reduce the volume if you can no longer hear people speaking near you. Safety of Children Please comply with precautions concerning children's safety. Letting a child play with your mobile phone and/or its accessories, which may include parts that can be detached from the device, may present a choking hazard and prove to be dangerous. Keep your mobile phone and its accessories out of reach of small children.

Do not dispose of an exhausted battery or a mobile phone as common domestic rubbish. Accessories Use only the standard accessories (charger, battery, and headset) provided with your mobile phone. Using accessories of other manufacturers or vendors with this mobile phone may invalidate any approval or warranty applicable to the device. It may result in non-operation of the mobile phone, and may ultimately prove dangerous. Battery and Charger The battery can be charged and discharged hundreds of times before it eventually wears out. When the standby time and talk time run shorter than normal, it is advisable to replace the battery. 12
Use the AC power supply defined in the specifications of the charger. An improper power voltage may cause fire or the charger to malfunction. If the ambient temperature is considerably low or high, the capacity and life of the battery will be reduced. Using your mobile phone in temperatures lower than 0 C will affect battery performance. Do not connect two poles of the battery with conductors such as metal materials, keys or jewelries. Otherwise, the battery may short-circuit and cause injuries and burns on your body. Do not disassemble the battery or solder battery poles. This may lead to electrolyte leakage, overheating, fire, or an explosion. In the event of a battery electrolyte leak, make sure that the electrolyte does not touch your skin and eyes. If electrolyte comes into contact with your skin or eyes, immediately wash with clean water and consult a doctor. Common signs of battery wear and/or damage includes color change, and abnormal heat during storage or charging. If this happens, remove the battery from your mobile phone immediately and stop using it. Continuing to use damaged batteries may lead to battery leakage, overheating, explosion or fire. If the power cable is damaged (e.g. the lead is exposed or broken), or if the plug is loose, stop using the cable at once. Otherwise, it may lead to electric shock, short-circuiting of the charger, or a fire. Do not dispose of batteries in fire as they may explode. Damaged batteries may also explode. Cleaning and Maintenance Your mobile phone, battery, and charger are not water-resistant and must be kept dry at all times. Protect your mobile phone and its components from water or 13
vapor. Touching the device with wet hands may lead to short-circuiting or device malfunction, and electric shock to the user.

Do not place magnetic storage media such as magnetic cards and floppy disks near your mobile phone. Radiation from your mobile phone may erase the information on the storage media. Do not leave your mobile phone, battery, or charger in extremely hot or cold places. Doing so results in equipment malfunction and may lead to a fire or an explosion. Do not place sharp metal objects such as pins near the earpiece. These objects may fall into the earpiece and hurt you when you are using your mobile phone. When cleaning your mobile phone, you must first power the device off and disconnect it from the charger. Do not use detergent, powder, or other chemical agents such as alcohol and benzene to clean your mobile phone and charger. Otherwise, parts of your mobile phone may get damaged, or cause a fire. It is best to use a damp and soft antistatic cloth for cleaning your mobile phone and charger. Do not dismantle the device or accessories. Otherwise, Starmobile will not be liable to pay for damages as the device and accessories are not covered by warranty.
