Safety and use ���������������������

We recommend that you read this chapter carefully before using 
your mobile phone. The manufacturer disclaims any liability for 
damage, which may result as a consequence of improper use or use 
contrary to the instructions contained herein.

 TRAFFIC  SAFETY:

Given that studies show that using a mobile phone 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 mobile phone when the vehicle is not parked. Check the laws 

and regulations on the use of wireless mobile phones 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 mobile phone 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 mobile phone 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 mobile phone 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 mobile phone RF 

energy.

• CONDITIONS OF USE:

You are advised to switch off the mobile phone from time to time to 

optimize its performance.

Remember to abide by local authority rules of mobile phone use on 

aircrafts.

Operational Warnings: Obey all posted signs when using mobile devices 

in public areas. 

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.
