Safety information
We recommend that you read this chapter carefully before
using your device. 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 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.
When driving, do not use your device or 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 dashboard is adequately shielded from device
RF energy.

CONDITIONS OF USE
You are advised to switch off the device from time to time to
optimise its performance.
Switch the device off before boarding an aircraft.
Switch the device off when you are in healthcare facilities,
except in designated areas. As with many other types of
equipment now in regular use, these devices can interfere with
other electrical or electronic devices, or equipment using radio
frequencies.
Switch the device off when you are near gas or flammable
liquids. Strictly obey all signs and instructions posted in a fuel
depot, petrol station, or chemical plant, or in any potentially
explosive atmosphere.
When the device 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, etc. In particular when using the device,
you should hold it against the ear on the opposite side to the
device, if any.
