7 Warnings and Precautions
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 Neptune B503 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
9
Neptune B503
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.
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.
10
Neptune B503
• 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.
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
11
Neptune B503
charging. Keep the ambient temperature between 0°C to 40°C when using
your mobile phone running on battery power.
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.
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.
Environment Protection
Adhere to local regulations regarding safe disposal of mobile phones and its
electrical accessories including chargers, headsets and batteries. Recycle them. Do
not dispose of an exhausted battery or a mobile phone as common domestic
rubbish.
12
Neptune B503
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.
• 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
13
Neptune B503
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 vapor. Touching the device with wet hands may lead to short-circuiting or
device malfunction, and electric shock to the user.
• Do not place your mobile phone, battery, or charger in places where it can get
damaged due to collision. This may lead to battery leakage, device malfunction,
overheating, fire, or explosion.
• 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
14
Neptune B503
be liable to pay for damages as the device and accessories are not covered by
warranty.
Emergency Call
Your mobile phone provisions for emergency calls when in the coverage of your
network service area. The connection, however, cannot be guaranteed in all
conditions. You should not rely solely on your mobile phone for essential
communications.
