mobile phone waivers

Documents signed by employees who are given mobile phones by the company, promising not to sue the company if the employee gets brain cancer from using the mobile phone.

I kid you not, such documents really do exist!

Recharges téléphone portable

Looks like a typo. On an AZERTY keyboard, "r" and "d" are next to each other.

Scratch this answer. Seemed odd in conetxt and with the benefit of Nigel's suggestion it just seems obvious now!

Forget my suggestion. With the benefit of Nigel's answer mine is just silly.

There is something odd happening on site too... stuff I type in is sent, a priori, but does not appear?!

Yes Shweta, I agreed with Nigel yesterday; His answer obviously made sense!
Note from asker:
No, there is no type error. Nigel has got it right. It will be "mobile phone waiver"
Peer comment(s):

neutral Nigel Wheatley : It would have to be a double typing error, if the acute accent is in place: possible, but less likely than the single error you originally suggested. I still prefer my interpretation (as you seem to now the site is back up!)
