Safety Information
This section contains important information pertaining
to the operating instructions of your device. It also
contains information about how to use the device
safely. Read this information carefully before using
your device.
◆
Electronic Device
Power off your device if using the device is
prohibited. Do not use the device when it causes
danger or interference with electronic devices.
◆
Medical Device
• Power off your device and follow the rules and
regulations set forth by the hospitals and health
care facilities.
• Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a
minimum distance of 15 cm be maintained between
a device and a pacemaker to prevent potential
interference with the pacemaker. If you are using a
pacemaker, use the device on the opposite side of
the pacemaker and do not carry the device in your
front pocket.
• Some wireless devices may affect the performance
of the hearing aids. For any such problems, consult
your service provider.
◆
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Switch off your device in any area with a potentially
explosive atmosphere, and comply with all signs and
instructions. Areas that may have potentially
explosive atmospheres include the areas where you
would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle
engine. Triggering of sparks in such areas could
cause an explosion or fire, resulting in bodily injuries
or even deaths. Do not switch on the device at
refueling points such as service stations. Comply with
restrictions on the use of radio equipment in fuel
depots, storage, and distribution areas, and chemical
plants. Also, adhere to restrictions in areas where
blasting operations are in progress. Before using the
device, watch out for areas that have potentially
explosive atmosphere that are often, but not always,
clearly marked. Such locations include areas below
the deck on boats, chemical transfer or storage
facilities and areas where the air contains chemicals
or particles such as grain, dust, or metal powders.
Ask the manufacturers of vehicles using liquefied
petroleum gas (such as propane or butane) if this
device can be safely used in their vicinity.
◆
Traffic Security
• Do not use your device while driving, and observe
the local laws and regulations.
• Do not use your device while flying in an aircraft.
Switch off your device before boarding an aircraft.
Using wireless devices in an aircraft may be
dangerous to the operation of the aircraft, disrupt
the wireless telephone network, and may be
considered illegal.
