Follow Instructions to Avoid Interference Problems:
•
Turn off your mobile device in any location where posted notices instruct you to do so. In
an aircraft, turn off your mobile device whenever instructed to do so by airline staff. If your
mobile device offers an airplane mode or similar feature, consult airline staff about using it
in flight.
•
Switch the mobile phone off when you are in health care facilities, except in designated areas.
As with many other types of equipment now in regular use, mobile phones can interfere with
other electrical or electronic devices, or equipment using radio frequency.
•
Switch the mobile phone off when you are near gas or flammable liquids. Strictly obey
all signs and instructions posted in a fuel depot, gas station, or chemical plant, or in any
potentially explosive atmosphere.
•
When the mobile phone is switched on, it should be kept at least 15 cm from any medical
device such as a pacemaker, a hearing aid or insulin pump. In particular when using the mobile
phone you should hold it against the ear on the opposite side to the device, if any.
Read and follow the directions from the manufacturer of your implantable medical device. If
you have any questions about using your mobile device with your implantable medical device,
consult your healthcare provider.
To avoid hearing impairment, answer the call before holding your mobile phone to your ear.
Also move the handset away from your ear while using the “hands-free” option because the
amplified volume might cause hearing damage.
It is recommended to have proper supervision while small children use your mobile phone.
Do not attempt to disassemble your phone. If you disassemble your phone, the warranty will
not apply.
Always handle your mobile phone with care and keep it in a clean and dust-free place.
Do not allow your mobile phone to be exposed to adverse weather or environmental
conditions (moisture, humidity, rain, infiltration of liquids, dust, sea air, etc.). The manufacturer’s
recommended operating temperature range is 0°C (32°F) to 40°C (104°F) (the max value
depends on device, materials and housing paint/texture).
Over 40°C (104°F) the legibility of the mobile phone’s display may be impaired, though this is
temporary and not serious.
Do not open or attempt to repair your mobile phone yourself.
Do not drop, throw or try to bend your mobile phone.
