The LAVA A1200 is a mobile phone designed for communication and basic utility, accompanied by a user manual that outlines its functionalities, safe usage, and warranty information. The device is intended to be user-friendly, with a straightforward layout and essential features for daily use.
The LAVA A1200 serves as a primary communication device, enabling users to make and receive calls, and send and receive text messages (SMS). Its core function is to provide reliable connectivity for personal and professional interactions. The phone includes a receiver for audio output during calls and a speaker for hands-free communication or media playback. A microphone (not explicitly numbered but implied for call functionality) allows users to transmit their voice.
Beyond basic communication, the LAVA A1200 incorporates several utility features. A rear camera is included for capturing photos, offering a simple way to document moments. The device also features a torch, providing a convenient light source in dark environments. For personal audio, an ear jack allows the connection of headphones or headsets, enabling private listening to calls or other audio content. A USB connector facilitates data transfer and charging, ensuring the device can be powered and connected to other systems.
The phone's interface is managed through a combination of physical keys. Number keys are used for dialing phone numbers and inputting text. A call key initiates calls, while a return key allows users to navigate back through menus or cancel actions. A selection key and a navigation key provide control over menu options and on-screen selections, making it easy to browse through the phone's features. An OK key confirms selections. The device also has a switch on/off key, which controls the power state of the phone.
The LAVA A1200 is designed with a focus on environmental responsibility. The manual emphasizes the importance of proper e-waste disposal, highlighting the company's commitment to global environmental standards. This includes guidelines for recycling and preventing the release of hazardous substances into the environment.
The LAVA A1200 is designed for intuitive operation. The physical keypad and dedicated function keys simplify navigation and interaction. Users can easily dial numbers, access menus, and perform common tasks with minimal effort. The phone's layout, as depicted in the manual, shows clearly labeled keys, making it accessible even for users who may not be familiar with complex smartphone interfaces.
For communication, the device supports both voice calls and SMS. The manual suggests using text messages for shorter communications, especially for children, adolescents, and pregnant women, as a way to potentially reduce exposure to radio waves. It also advises making calls when the signal quality is good to ensure clear communication.
The phone's utility features, such as the camera and torch, are integrated for convenience. The torch can be activated for immediate light, and the camera allows for quick photo capture. The ear jack enables private audio experiences, which is useful in various settings.
The manual provides important safety precautions related to radio frequency (RF) exposure. It recommends using a wireless hands-free system (headphone, headset) with a low-power Bluetooth emitter to minimize direct contact with the phone. It also advises people with active medical implants to keep the cell phone at least 15cm away from the implant. These guidelines are intended to promote safe usage practices.
The default password for the handset, "4321," is provided for various security features like phone lock and restoring factory settings. This ensures users can manage their device's security and reset it if necessary.
Maintenance of the LAVA A1200 primarily revolves around proper handling, charging, and adherence to e-waste disposal guidelines. The manual stresses the importance of protecting the environment and provides detailed instructions on how to dispose of the device and its components responsibly at the end of its life.
E-waste Disposal: The manual defines "e-waste" as waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) and provides "Do's" and "Don'ts" for its disposal.
The manual also outlines the consequences of improper handling and disposal of e-waste, including the prevention of natural resource reuse, the release of toxins into the soil and water, the emission of greenhouse gases, and adverse effects on human and animal health. It also warns against placing batteries or devices on or in heating devices, which can lead to explosions or fires.
Warranty and Repair: The LAVA A1200 comes with a limited warranty. The transceiver has a one-year warranty, and the battery and charger have a six-month warranty from the date of purchase. To maintain warranty coverage, users must ensure the product has not been subjected to abnormal use, improper storage, excessive moisture or dampness, excessive temperature, unauthorized modification or repair, abuse, accidents, acts of God, spills of food or liquids, or improper installation. The warranty is void if the product serial number or accessory date code has been removed, defaced, or altered. Using accessories not supplied by Lava or its affiliates, or using the product in an unintended manner, also voids the warranty. Breaking the seals of the battery enclosure or using the battery in equipment other than that specified by LAVA will also invalidate the warranty. Scratched or damaged plastic surfaces and externally exposed parts due to normal use are not covered under warranty.
To avail warranty services, users are advised to read the guidelines for safe and efficient use, understand the warranty terms, keep the original receipt, and present the Lava Warranty Certificate along with proof of purchase. For service needs, users should visit the nearest Lava service centers, with an updated list available on the www.lavamobiles.com website. The warranty certificate must be fully completed and stamped by the authorized distributor/retailer for it to be valid.
