TRAFFIC SAFETY:
Given that studies show that using a device while driving a vehicle constitutes a real risk, even when the hands-free kit is used (car kit, headset...),
drivers are requested to refrain from using their device when the vehicle is not parked. Check the laws and regulations on the use of wireless
mobile devices and their accessories in the areas where you drive. Always obey them. The use of these devices may be prohibited or restricted in
certain areas.
When driving, do not use your device and headphone to listen to music or to the radio. Using a headphone can be dangerous and forbidden in
some areas.
When switched on, your device emits electromagnetic waves that can interfere with the vehicle’s electronic systems such as ABS anti-lock brakes
or airbags. To ensure that there is no problem:
-do not place your device on top of the dashboard or within an airbag deployment area,
-check with your car dealer or the car manufacturer to make sure that the car’s electronic devices are shielded from device RF energy.
