Safety in aircraft
Due to the possible interference caused by this product to an aircraft’s
navigation system and its communications network, using this device’s
phone function on board an airplane is against the law in most countries. If
you want to use this device while on board of an aircraft, remember to turn
off your phone by switching to Airplane Mode.
Environment restrictions
Do not use this product in gas stations, fuel depots, chemical plants or
where blasting operations are in progress, or in potentially explosive
atmospheres such as fuelling areas, fuel storehouses, below the deck on
boats, chemical plants, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities, and
areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust,
or metal powders. Be aware that sparks in such areas could cause an
explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.
Explosive atmospheres
When in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere or where
flammable materials exist, the product should be turned off and the user
should obey all signs and instructions. Sparks in such areas could cause an
explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.
Users are advised not to use the equipment at refueling points such as
service or gas stations, and are reminded of the need to observe restrictions
on the use of radio equipment in fuel depots, chemical plants, or where
blasting operations are in progress. Areas with a potentially explosive
atmosphere are often, but not always, clearly marked. These include
fueling areas, below the deck on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage
facilities, and areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as
grain, dust, or metal powders.
Road safety
Full attention must be given to driving at all times in order to reduce the
risk of an accident. Using a phone while driving (even with a hands free kit)
causes distraction and can lead to an accident. You must comply with local
laws and regulations restricting the use of wireless devices while driving.
Safety precautions for RF exposure
Avoid using your phone near metal structures (for example, the steel
frame of a building).
Avoid using your phone near strong electromagnetic sources, such as
microwave ovens, sound speakers, TV and radio.
Only use original manufacturer-approved accessories, or accessories
that do not contain any metal.
Use of non-original manufacturer-approved accessories may violate your
local RF exposure guidelines and should be avoided.
Interference with medical equipment functions
This product may cause medical equipment to malfunction. The use of this
device is forbidden in most hospitals and medical clinics.
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer
of your device to determine if they are adequately shielded from external
RF energy. Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this
information.
Turn your phone OFF in health care facilities when any regulations posted in
these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be
using equipment that could be sensitive to external RF energy.
Nonionizing radiation
Your device has an internal antenna. This product should be operated in its
normal-use position to ensure the radiative performance and safety of the
interference. As with other mobile radio transmitting equipment, users are
advised that for satisfactory operation of the equipment and for the safety of
personnel, it is recommended that no part of the human body be allowed to
come too close to the antenna during operation of the equipment.
Only use the supplied integral antenna. Use of unauthorized or modified
antennas may impair call quality and damage the phone, causing loss of
performance and SAR levels exceeding the recommended limits as well as
result in non-compliance with local regulatory requirements in your country.
