Do not use your smartphone while walking or engaging in any activity that requires your full
attention. Inattention to traffic or other pedestrian hazards could result in serious harm, death,
or property loss.
Accessories
Use only those accessories approved by the manufacturer for use with this particular
smartphone model. Using any accessories not approved might invalidate any approval or
warranty, might result in the smartphone becoming inoperative, and might be dangerous.
Carrying solutions:
Your smartphone might not come with a holster (body-worn accessory).
If you wear your smartphone on your body, always put your smartphone in a smartphone
holster equipped with an integrated belt clip supplied or approved by the manufacturer. If
you do not use a holster equipped with an integrated belt clip supplied or approved by the
manufacturer when you carry your smartphone, keep your smartphone at least 0.20 in. (5
mm) from your body when the smartphone is transmitting. When using any data feature of
your smartphone (for example, email messages, PIN messages, MMS messages, or browser
service), with or without a USB cable, hold your smartphone at least 0.20 in. (5 mm) from
your body. Using accessories that are not supplied by or approved by the manufacturer might
cause your smartphone to exceed radio frequency exposure guidelines. Whether there are
any long term health effects of exceeding radio frequency exposure standards is a subject
of ongoing scientific study. For more information about radio frequency exposure, see the
“Compliance information” section of this document.
Most the manufacturer approved carrying solutions for smartphones (for example, holsters,
totes, and pouches) incorporate a magnet. Do not place items containing magnetic strip
components, such as debit cards, credit cards, hotel key cards, phone cards, or similar items,
near such carrying solutions. The magnet might damage or erase the data stored on the
magnetic strip.
Magnetometer
Your smartphone includes a magnetometer. The magnetometer is used by applications such
as the Compass. Magnets or devices that contain magnets, such as holsters, headphones,
or monitors, might negatively affect the accuracy of the magnetometer. Do not rely on
applications that use the magnetometer to determine your location, particularly in an
emergency situation.
Media
Certain jurisdictions might prohibit or restrict your use of certain features on your smartphone.
When taking, processing, or using pictures, obey all laws, regulations, procedures, and
policies, including, without limitation, any applicable copyright, personal privacy, trade secret,
or security laws that may be in place in your jurisdiction. Honor the personal rights of others.
Copyright protections might prevent you from copying, modifying, transferring, or forwarding
some pictures, music (including ring tones), or other content.
Audio files:
Permanent hearing loss might occur if you listen to audio files at high volumes,
particularly with headphones. Avoid increasing the volume of your headphones to block
out noisy surroundings. If you experience ringing in your ears or muffled speech, consult a
physician.
Camera:
If your smartphone has a camera, do not aim the camera directly at the sun or
any other bright light. Doing so could cause serious damage to your eyes or damage your
smartphone. When using the camera flash, keep the camera flash LED aperture at least 19.69
in. (50 cm) from the subject’s eyes.
Antenna
Use only the supplied integrated antenna. Unauthorized antenna modifications or
attachments could damage the smartphone.
Interference with electronic equipment
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from radio frequency signals. However, certain
electronic equipment might not be shielded against the radio frequency signals from your
smartphone.
Pacemakers:
Consult a physician or the manufacturer of your pacemaker if you have any
questions regarding the effect of radio frequency signals on your pacemaker. Verify that you
are using your smartphone in accordance with the safety requirements associated with your
particular pacemaker, which might include the following requirements: always keep your
smartphone more than 7.88 inches (20 cm) from the pacemaker when your smartphone
is turned on, do not carry your smartphone in your breast pocket, and use the ear opposite
